the seal trident- sometimes referred to as the budweiser
The Trident is solid gold
"SEAL Trident." Active 1 January 1962 -
In my experience it means "warrior" - Although, there are not many active "warriors" who would get this kind of tattoo and, therefore, give themselves away to the enemy. By the way "warrior" = Navy Seal (as you might recall the Seal insignia).
A Navy Seal will have to apply to join SWAT. If accepted he can start right away.

It originally came from the British Combined Operations in WW II and with variants was adopted by the American Naval Amphibious Forces. This was revised by the USAF Heraldic Emblems Unit in the late 60's to the present day trident.
There are three parts of the SEAL insignia and these symbolize the areas that Navy SEALs excel in -sea, air and land. Here is the representation of the Navy SEAL insignia: * The anchor and the trident: SEA * The eagle: AIR * The pistol: LAND The pistol is cocked and this represents readiness for battle. The Eagle's wings are spread wide and this represents for courage, and strength.
Navy SEAL. If you can take it.
If you originally enlisted in the Navy, passed the screen test, made it to BUD/s and passed. then you passed the SQT and got your SEAL trident, then re-enlisted in the marines...I'm sure you could still wear your trident since the Marines are a department of the Navy. But some Marines might think of it as disrespectful since Marines don't look for recognition of their hard work, and if you have a SEAL trident on, your basically broadcasting you're a badass. not too humble there. Was in the teams from 1969 to 1980. We did have a guy that had been in the Marine corp, served in Vietnam and then got out, joined the navy and became one of us. Later he got his college degree and became an officer in the teams. If he sees this, I hope that he knows that Beaver Grant was always proud of him, even though I kicked him that one time. This is the only case of this kind that I could imagine.
Navy SEAL training consists of the BUD/s (basic underwater demolition and SEAL), a physical screening test at the beginning and end of training, 2 weeks of regular training and a week called "Hell week"
