I was in the Navy and I don't know what the knot is called either.....
Do you mean that even after reading my post you still don't know the name? Just goes to confirm what I've suspected for years, you can't teach a Squid anything. Just kidding, my oldest son is currently serving in the Navy and as a Machinists Mate he probably doesn't know much about knots either.
The thing is, when I was searching for the information on several archery (so called technical) websites, the knot was referred to as two half hitches, as a retired Boatswains Mate, I do know what two half hitches are and how to tie them. I guarantee you that the knot used is not two half hitches.
