(AMERICAN MILITARY NEWS) – The U.S. Navy SEALs and the Navy Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC) recently changed their ethos and creed statements to reflect a gender-neutral presentation of the elite Navy outfits, doing away with gendered terms like "brotherhood."
One change to the SEAL ethos was to alter a sentence in the first paragraph of the ethos to say, "Common citizens with uncommon desire to succeed" instead of the original, "A common man with uncommon desire to succeed."
Naval Special Warfare spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Matthew Stroup confirmed the changes to the ethos and creed statements in an emailed statement to American Military News.
