In 1996, the National Sea Scout Committee created a new leadership training program for Sea Explorers. This course was called SEAL, which stood for Sea Explorer Advanced Leadership. In 1998, with the rename of Sea Explorers to Sea Scouts, the course was renamed Sea Scout Advanced Leadership Training, but still retained the SEAL acronym.
The course is taught at the Regional level. So far, there have been about four-five courses given in each region. The Sea Scout website has a list of upcoming courses. Check them out here.
SEAL is a weeklong training course focusing on leadership skills, conducted at sea. The course covers such topics as preparing, goal setting, organizing, supervising, commanding, communicating, training, motivating, and more.
Attendees must be registered Sea Scouts who have earned the Ordinary rank prior to attending SEAL training and not yet 18 years old. They should have a thorough, working knowledge of Chapter Four of the Sea Scout Manual.
Those who successfully complete the course are awarded the SEAL Training Award, which is a silver pin with twin dolphins, which is worn above the right pocket above service stars, if any. Here is the pin:
Ashiya(芦屋) is a playable character from the Senran Kagura videogame series. She makes her debut in Senran Kagura: New Wave.
Ashiya is a fair-skinned girl with long curled red hair with a pinkish ombré on the ends of some curls. She wears two small tufts of hair up in pigtails held by a tiny yellow ribbon and has a simple gold tiara on top of her head. Her eyes are violet.
She wears a very revealing, flowing pink gown that loosely resembles a kimono, accented by black and long rope of yellow and white. Over her lower half is a flap of white and yellow material with a pink-peach image drawn on it. Around her neck is a loose flowing scarf with a simple gold pendant hanging from beneath it.
She adopts a haughty attitude towards whomever she comes into contact with. For that reason she has few friends. She herself is aware of her attitude and although she is using her full strength to better herself, she fails every time and gets even more aggravated.
Ashiya's name (芦屋) may be translated as "Reed Shop", possibly taken from the name of a city in Japan.
