Before I (or anyone else) answers your question tell me what PJ’s and CCT primary missions are….. Same goes for SEALS. Then I’ll be more than happy to answer your questions…..

Team Sergeant
OK.....Primary missions.

SEALs....playing beach vollyball, having good looking hair, clearing UW obstacles/mines, beach recon for landings, infiltration to take out bad guys.

Recon....clearing UW obstacles/mines, recon for beach landings for which ever Marine Division they're assinged to (at least that's what I was told by an old roommate of mine), having good looking hair (if any), taking out the bad guys thing.

CCTs....to get in by any way to set up airfields and provide CAS, having that good looking hair thing too.

PJs....having REALLY good looking hair, going to EVERY gentelmens club in the area, getting REALLY good places to sleep while deployed, getting REALLY good food while deployed, having lots and lots of care packages sent to them while they're deployed and going to the PX/AFFES every 2 hours to get milk to wash down all the cookies and brownies that were sent in the care packages, watching loads and loads of first run movies while on deployment, having REALLY good looking hair, (wait I already said that), then there's the thing about going in and getting downed pilots by whatever means necessary, (when they're not on crew rest).

TS...trust me. I was by NO means comparing SF to PJs, (although you know I do have a personal bias for PJs ).

******Just an example here******
Just was wondering if a situation were required that the only way into an AO was by UW and there were say, 3 teams/ODAs with the same group and just a few from each team were Combat Diver qualed. Are those divers then pulled from thier respected teams to make up that team/ODA?
