12. What is the Sea Org?
Answer By: Rogue Agent <rogue@denali.ccs.neu.edu>
The Sea Org was originally an Org (parish or local church) that sailed
with Hubbard all over the world in 3 large ships. Since then they have
become an elite, devoted corps who work for slave wages. They wear
pseudo-naval uniforms.

The Sea Org was originally those people committed to Scientology who
were at sea. Nowadays, the name is largely historic, though most do wear
quasi-naval uniforms and have military-style rank. It is the closest
equivalent Scientology has to a monastery. While one is not required to
be celibate inside of marriage (outside of marriage, it is a Committee
of Evidence offense that can result in losing one's job), in practice
one has little time for sexual encounters. Furthermore, having children
has been strongly discouraged for Sea Org members.
