You'd have to have big balls to tell him to get a haircut. I'd rather try to bathe a cat than mess with a Seal. Them boys grow thier hair out and grow beards prior to deploying. I did 30 years in the Navy and I've never met anyone outside of thier community that gave a Seal grief about thier grooming standards.

When I was in the Navy, I spent some time at Coronado in California. When the seal trainees would come into the chow hall, everyone got out of their way and let them in ... no lines for these guys. They'd eat in about 5 minutes and leave. As stated above, nobody told them no ... or questioned their attire or grooming.

They'd generally come in in swim trunks, boots, socks and a t-shirt, and during "Hell" week, they smelled really bad.

I'm guessing after 7 days of no sleep, no showers, and lots of physical activity, I'd smell bad too. Mostly because I'd be dead ... :AGGHH:

Actually they don't have to salute him. It's done as a courtesy only and is not required by law or regulation. Kinda like the old wives tale that a MOH receipient has a right to inspect the troops at any command he visits.
