    It's a disgrace. Kick him out.

    The Navy is investigating a decorated SEAL who moonlights as a
    porn actor.

    The Naval Special Warfare Command wants to know whether Chief
    Special Warfare Officer Joseph Schmidt III properly obtained
    permission from his commanders for outside work and whether they
    condoned his acting career, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported
    Friday (http://bit.ly/2ozyWLt).

    "There are very clear regulations which govern outside
    employment ... as well as prohibitions on behavior that is
    discrediting to the service," said Capt. Jason Salata, a SEALs
    spokesman.

    Schmidt, 42, has spent 23 years in the military and holds
    numerous medals, including a citation of valor for combat
    overseas. He has appeared in recruiting campaigns, even serving
    as the face of the SEAL program on its website, the Union-
    Tribune said.

    He has appeared under the name Jay Voom in at least 29 sex films
    over seven years with titles such as "Apple Smashing Lap Dance"
    to "Strippers Come Home Horny from the Club," the paper said.

    Many feature his wife, porn star Jewels Jade.

    Schmidt declined to comment to the newspaper, but his wife said
    many of his fellow SEALs at the Coronado base in Southern
    California watched the videos online.

    "They knew about it at work," Jade said. "He got called in and
    they said, 'Look, keep it on the low, don't mention the SEAL
    name and blah, blah, blah.' "

    "He was always pretty open about it with the command," she said.
    "I mean, honestly, all of his buddies knew about it. Everybody
    knew about it."

    Jade first appeared in porn films in 2001, but she left the
    industry by 2003 to become a wife and mother and help run a real
    estate firm the couple founded in 2005 while Schmidt was
    assigned to Virginia.

    The business foundered, and the couple filed for bankruptcy
    after running up nearly $2 million in debt, the Union-Tribune
    said.

    As business losses deepened, Jade turned to stripping to make
    ends meet and then returned to making porn films.

    "It's helped our family. It got us out of a lot of financial
    issues we were going through," Jade said. "I could take care of
    the child. I could try to get us out of financial debt."

    Jade said she has tried to obtain other work. But her fame, with
    millions of fans worldwide, made it difficult.

    She sought a management job at a San Diego luxury hotel last
    year but was recognized before she finished her employment
    interview. "Once you're recognized and you build a brand and
    you've got your fans who know who you are, when you go to try to
    find a job, you can't get another job," she said.

    Schmidt was transferred to Coronado in 2009. Jade said she
    recruited her husband as an unpaid performer to cut the costs of
    making films for her website and film-distribution service.

    The military has taken a dim view of its members engaging in
    racy pursuits.

    U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Michelle Manhart, a training
    instructor, was reprimanded and demoted after she posed nude for
    Playboy in 2007. The Navy discharged or otherwise disciplined
    about a dozen servicemen and servicewomen in 1980 for posing in
    Playboy or Playgirl.

    Why?


    Maybe it is time to re-institute the Tail hook parties. ;-)

    Why is that a problem?

    I agree...The Government(CIA) gives them assignments to do some really
    immoral things and then gets excited about a little Sexual romping.

    Make Love..Not War..

    Except that the CIA does not assign the military. The CIA has their own drones...

    The CIA in Nam Tasked Special forces and the Seals on many occasions. As
    for Drones...What has that to do with Sexual adventures and Seal Team assignments?
