They are trying to get more SEAL/SWCC as the general army is being withdrawn, but is in no way recruiting. As someone who is a few months out from DEPing in due to shoulder surgery, you have to want to be a SEAL. And as xoleras stated, they know what the he|| they are getting into.

Yea, I have done extensive research on the seals out of sheer respect and awe of what they do. So I understand the type of deep commitment it takes (at least the best a civi ever will, which isn't really ****...).
That's why I can't understand why there been such a explosion in "defectors" of the seal tradition over these past few years? I guess they are still varying personalities in the teams. Even so, I was always under the assumption that one thing they held in common was NOT advertising their actions to the public.

I served in the military, and let's make something clear: civilian laws and military laws are far different. As a military member you CANNOT do whatever the hell you want, there are standards of behaviour that applies even when you're out of uniform (and on active duty) -- The SEAL members that shared classified info violated the UCMJ and if you violate the UCMJ (uniform code of military justice), you WILL pay the price.
I don't believe civvies will ever understand this. You can't break the rules in the military unless you want to see the man and lose rank / money. Losing rank when you're well into your career will break your ability to retire or even stay in. You can vilify the brass all you want -- but the SEAL members violated the UCMJ period. The UCMJ is black and white and has existed for a long time - you cannot ever, under any circumstance, share classified information.
This isn't the civilian world where you can BS your way out of breaking the rules. You break the rules and get caught while under military contract, you will get NJP'ed or court martialed for a serious offense. If any of these happen to you, it can destroy your life if severe enough, so obviously military members usually try to avoid being in the wrong -- military justice is harsh. Don't like it? They shouldn't have joined - they knew they were in the wrong by sharing this info, I am certain of this. All military members have a good understanding of what they can and cannot do, there are not many shades of gray here.

I have to chuckle whenever I see fellows taking the 'friendly' rivalry a bit too far, when they aren't being an annoyance that is.
On Topic: LOR (Letter of reprimand) isn't anything to take lightly, but compared to what could have happened, should be the least of their worries. Goes on their record but won't be anything major to hold them back [hopefully]. I just hope it serves as a lesson to them and others to respect/not break rules 1 and 2 of NDA Club...not talking about NDA club, and not releasing any information housed under NDA Club... lol.
Off Topic: I hear shippie more common than squid; I normally use squid when talking about motorcycle riders who ride about with an obscene lack of gear/overly aggressive riding style.
