Navy Seal Insignia

[LittleRedWoodshop]

I was asked a year ago do to a plaque for a Navy Seal. Because of the stature of his station the sign has to be better than perfect (is that just a me thing). I have yet to find a good representation of this Insignia. I will pay for one if need be. Please help and yes I have done the "SEARCH".

A while back I did an engraving of the Navy Seal emblem on a dart cabinet I built for a friend. I think I just searched Google images until I found a large image to work with. This was done by hand since I hadn't yet become a CW owner at the time. Curious how this would turn out an a carving. Let me know if you find a carving pattern of this.

Jason, been fooling around with 3d and liked the navy seal emblem below, so I started working on the image this afternoon. got a little ways into it, but it is not finished. Let me know if this is what you are looking for. (gun not finished either)

[LittleRedWoodshop]

that is going to do it ..... looks real good so far.

[bjbethke]

I have the complete LOGO will that work?

[bjbethke]

I also have the UDT badge.

[LittleRedWoodshop]

are great but I need the insignia that I posted. eelamb is on the right track. My customer was very specific on the details of the plaque.

[eelamb]

Jason do you have a dead line on the project?

may be able to work on it a little tonight, but tomorrow I go in for umbilical hernia surgery, and may not be doing much of anything for a few days.

The emblem I have so far is about 75% complete, have the left wing and eagle face to do, then smoothing it out. It will be too large to post here, so I will PM you when I have it and send it via email to you. Oh I am not wanting payment, I am learning, besides that one is a good one to learn on.

[eelamb]

This is what I have gotten done so far. Would like the feathers a little better, and the barrel/wood on the gun.

Is it the software that is used to create such great patterns? The depth and detail is awesome. I noticed that before when people were making a dog's memorial plaque and different users were making them and then I saw when Michael T. brought his mpc out and the amount of detail and depth was really great. I guess when you have programs like Aspire and others, that's what makes these great patterns huh?

[LittleRedWoodshop]

that is what I was looking for ... I had purchased one from another site and it just wasn't up to par. The gentelman that ordered the sign is very proud of his sons achievement, as he should be. I just want to make sure that I do the best sign that I can possibly do. Thank you again.

eelamb don't stop, I agree, you are on the right track.

Is this the one you were looking for? To make a good 3d PTN you could scan the pin.

Thanks everyone.

Yes, sometime the software does help a lots but what can you do with the software is another story.

[alan.galbraith]

That's the one. I think it looks pretty good. Can't carve right now. My machine broke again.

Thanks for the ptn.

Capt. Very Interesting pattern. Do you know the significance behind this one and the history or story behind it?

I'm going to do the short version here courtesy of Wikipedia.
"
The United States Navy Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) Teams, commonly known as Navy SEALs, are the U.S. Navy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Navy)'s principal special operations force and is a part of the Naval Special Warfare Command (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Naval_Special_Warfare_Command) (NSWC) as well as the maritime component of the United States Special Operations Command (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Special_Operations_Command) (USSOCOM).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Navy_SEALs#cite_note-2)
The unit's acronym ("SEAL") is derived from their capacity to operate at sea, in the air and on land, but it is their ability to work underwater that separates SEALs from most other military units in the world. The experience gained from operating in the ocean and fresh water battle fields has shaped their identity and, as a result, they are regarded as being amongst the most highly skilled and trained amphibious units in the world. Navy SEALs are trained and have been deployed in a wide variety of missions, including direct action (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_action_(military)) and special reconnaissance (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_reconnaissance) operations, unconventional warfare (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_warfare), foreign internal defense (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_internal_defense), hostage rescue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostage_rescue), counter-terrorism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-terrorism), and other missions.
Without exception, all SEALs are male members of either the U.S. Navy or the Coast Guard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Coast_Guard)"

Can't verify all of that but I'm told by a retired SEAL that the Eagle is the Air, the trident the Sea combat, the pistol for the Land and the anchor as noted above their skills in underwater combined operations. Hope that helps and others please chime in if this is off the target.

"Eagle is the Air, the trident the Sea combat, the pistol for the Land and the anchor as noted above their skills in underwater combined operations"
Thanks Capt. We, the wife and I, had a 12 year old girl that we were working with. Tough one that kept on getting into fights with boys that really deserved her punches. Always picking on her. Talking with her one day she said she wanted to be a Navy Seal when she grew up. The wife encouraged her till I let her know it was an all boys club. She's 15 now and able to keep the boys off of her without any problems. Her heart was in it.

[chebytrk]

Hey, I thought Demi Moore was a SEAL.

[Capt Bruce]

Again, not my area of personal experience or expertise. I was just a ground pounding SEABEE but I'll offer the following quote from the web for what it's worth.

"The Navy SEALs are a commissioned combat unit. Congress has yet to enact legislation that permits women to serve in a combat arms unit. Under current US code, women can be on combat vessels and in areas of combat action. However, under the law women can technically train in a combat unit, serve in a combat unit, but not engage in hostile action in an area of operations, *but* a woman can be in an area where fighting is taking place but cannot bear arms in a combat situation. A key example would be female nurses. They can be in the rear area of a combat action and could be caught in combat action but they cannot technically defend themselves or engage in offensive action.

Until the laws change, which might happen soon, women cannot engage in offensive action in a combat zone; hence, women can't be Navy SEALs."

We are seeing these gender defined roles questioned and changing every day as with female Captains of warships and soon female submarine crew members, but as far as I know (10 years retired now) it comes down to "she" cannot be handed a rifle and a grenade and put in harm's way. Can any of our more recent serving Forum military members contribute better present day information?

And yes, GI JANE was fiction but a good movie all the same.

[Smoken D]

Don't want to cause a problem or change the subject but, I agree and my expirence a woman don't belong in a police uniform out on the street. Plenty of other police jobs for a female they could do better than a male. They get tossed like a wet rag in a real fight and don't help the male officer one bit when the fist are flyen. Oh well, enough of that. I just smiled when this young girl expressed her dreams. Don't ever stop those.
