    The Navy does not call themselves Seals. The SEALS is a special forces job within the Navy.

    Army - Soldiers

    Navy - Sailors

    Air Force - Airmen

    Marines - Marines

    Coast Guard - not sure, but I've heard "Coasties" though that may be more of a nickname. The other branches have nicknames as well. Too many to post here.

    SEALs are an elite force within the Navy. Just like Rangers are an elite force within the Army. Etc.
