Navy investigates decorated Seal who moonlights as porn actor Jay Voom

The US navy is investigating a decorated Seal who moonlights as an actor in pornographic films.

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 on Friday.

“There are very clear regulations which govern outside employment … as well as prohibitions on behavior that is discrediting to the service,” said captain Jason Salata, a Navy 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 and served as the face of the Seal program on its website, the Union-Tribune said.
