And this was a SPOILER??? Heh...interesting sense of humor there!
And I agree, Eltee...I never understood the duck walk. Even as a sailor, I sure didn't find myself needing that capability!

Actually thinking about it I can sort of see a purpose. Now this wouldn't apply to the average sailor, or anyone not on the field for that matter, but I think it's to test if you can move effectively while crouching.
Maybe it's a test to see if you're sober enough to actually want to enlist. You know, like the "walk five metres in a line while saying the alphabet" tests the police uses when they don't have alcohol detection instruments handy
Nope, they gave us a breathalyzer test first thing in the morning. Blow anything over I think it was .08 and you're out.
Hey i belive the old-school (XVIII century) naval recruitment strategy included tieing drunk merchant-fleet sailors in borthels and bringing them to the ship, so they will get sober at least 20 (nautical) miles from the port....Maybe it's a test to see if you're sober enough to actually want to enlist
Seriously, who cares if I can walk like a duck or not?!
that's funny; I thought the same thing when I went through MEPS, but I actually duckwalk all the time when working under the aircraft.
Sorry I took so long to respond; I just got back from a couple weeks on the boat. I have the navy instruction and a couple websites from my career counselor. The wesites are www.seal.navy.mil, www.navy.com/seals, and www.sealswcc.com. Send me a message with your addresws and I'll email you the instruction.
