Answer 7

Navy Commands under Naval Special Warfare Command (NSW): SEAL, SWCC (Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen) , SDVT (Seal Delivery Vehicle Team).

Navy Commands under Naval Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC): Navy EOD, Navy Diver (ND), Maritime Expeditionary Security Force (MESF), Combat Camera, Naval Construction Battalion (SeaBee), NECC-trainning, logistic, & intel.

Hospital Corpsman FMF- attached to USMC & other Individual Augmentees ( IA ).

All of these personnel (except SeaBees) will probably see inside of the ships at one time or another, but not a whole lot (except for SWCC, SDVT, ND & MESF) for the most parts. We are in the Navy after all.

These are just in general, it doesn't mean that any of these people will actually engage in combat. Many SEAL will never get into firefight through out their career. Most SEAL missions need stealth, not brute force.

I notice that your screenname is "future SEAL," are you that confident? Go earn the Trident.

Answer 8

Other than Navy SEALs I don't know of any.  I do know that about 500 sailors guarded a prison in Iraq for about a year but they didn't see any action.  (They also closed the prison.)

Answer 9

EOD

Corpsman

Seabeas

Master at arms. (MP)

Seals

Answer 10

Seabees,
