I am not personally military, but I met an active duty SEAL Lt. Col DEVGRU operator yesterday at work (couldn't take a picture unfortunately because our security policies forbid it) and he was wearing a lovely 16660 sea dweller.

Nice picture, but not sure about the lifestyle of a submariner! Met quite a few during my 3 years in Gib - wonderful place.
