Navy Orders Seals to Expand 'Seal Edge' Opportunities

In an effort to build the ranks of membership to one of the most elite organizations within the military, the U.S. Navy is offering the unlikely and unsuspecting an opportunity to experience the "Seal Edge."

The Seals have been ordered to raise their numbers by next year so they're pulling out all the stops to build up those who will sign-up to join the ranks of the toughest and most elite military group in the United States Armed Forces.

Seals endure the toughest of training in an effort to reach "hell week," which signals the end of a mentally and physically strenuous journey.

So far their plan seems to be working. The Seals, which normally boasts a drop-out rate of 75 percent, has increased their graduation rate by 15 percent.

Take a look at this video hosted by NBC's Chris Jansing as the Seals allow us to take a look into the training world of the secretive warriors beginning in Kodiak, Alaska.
