Scientology and Sea Org UniformsThe Sea Org is the elite organization within Scientology, the members of which serve as the primary movers and shakers of the religion. The Sea Org is a strict organization, forcing members to work 100 hour work weeks, discouraging marriage, and forcing female members to get an abortion if they become pregnant. Founded in 1967 by L. Ron Hubbard, the Sea Org wears US Navy uniforms, and the members are given naval ranks. This was because of Hubbard’s service with the US Navy during World War II. He claimed that he held the rank of commodore, had served in all five theatres of World War II, and had been awarded numerous medals and decorations for valor in combat, and was seriously wounded. In reality he held the rank of Lieutenant, commanded a pair of PT Boats, served mostly stateside, never saw combat, and his service was best described as substandard. The highlights of his military career include him making false reports about sinking two Japanese submarines and creating an international incident after bombarding a Mexican island just for shits and giggles. -- source link
