I'm sure it will be a great movie and everything but I'd rather watch real seals killing real insurgents on liveleak. Thats where I go for my war porn. I'm not really into that fake hollywood bullsh*t.

There isn't special rules for leave & liberty for spec ops. They get fat reenlistment bonuses and excellent promotion rates.

I'm interested to know how all these sailors got enough time off to make the movie. Did they burn all their leave to do this or were they given time off?

Pretty much. It took them two years to film it because they were being deployed between shoots.

Admin dweebs get deployed too, nothing like what the ground forces do. What I do is take care of the sailors in my command and those who I can help outside of it. Though I did give thirty or so SEALS directions to the old executive office building last week. Each command has it's own admin dweebs with various levels of competence. I have heard the horror stories on how badly the SEALS records/pay get jacked up because of all the deployments.
