So does this mean he's not a SEAL as we've all assumed, but is instead, I dunno, an Army Engineer Diver or (less likely, because they don't do underwater demo as much) a Marine Recon Man? Or is this just a typo/a demonstration of DDP writer Brandon Jerwa's unfamiliarity with military rank?
I'm leaning towards the latter myself... it has to be an error of some kind on Jerwa's part... if a character's job is "UDT (Underwater Demolitions Team)," the character has to be Navy, since UDTs were Navy units. Expecting otherwise would be like calling a character a "Ranger" and then revealing that the character is a Marine (yes, I know Force Recon Marines will occasionally go to Ranger School, but we're talking typical cases here, and besides, when I think "Ranger," I think of the members of the 75th Ranger Regiment whom successfully passed RASP, and not necessarily non-Regiment graduates of Ranger School)
Royal Marine SBS?
