is he even ROTC or in the navy?
kinda weird to just pass up a possible NFL job to chase something that hard to accomplish if you aren't already in the service

Good question. I know you can now go straight into a Navy SEAL 'try-out' without being an actual Navy man.
Eta you obviously have to join the NAVY, but I've heard you can join and immediately go into BUD/S. I shouldn't have said 'know'.

I would be surprised if this is true. Otherwise they would have every small town hero trying this.

It ain't. They all go to regular navy boot first.

I imagine that would be after navy boot and some service time, right?
surely you can't just one day decide to be a navy seal and then become one within a year.

Has he already graduated? I'd hate to be an officer at BUD/S.
And 65 weeks just for training? frick that.

Probably, but boot camp for a D1 athlete wouldn't be an issue at all. He could pass all their requirements right now

yea I don't doubt that, but I just don't believe he could skip right into seal training from a normal civilian

Navy boot is notoriously weak.

Well he'd have to go through 8 weeks of boot camp first and then 8 weeks of NSWPS before BUD/S.

Oh yea, probably not.
They occasionally let civilians train with them I think though. I know Tiger Woods used to do it. But no I doubt they just let citizens jump into the full on Navy Seal boot camp, people would probably die

Maybe so, but that's not the case with NSWPS and BUD/S orientation.

Clearly. That's why it's probably just a frustration for those guys to have to go and put up with that crap.

If you haven't, watch BUD/S Class 234 on Youtube (especially the first 4 parts). Most people wouldn't last more than a few days (I know I wouldn't).

After seeing some of my friends that went through army and reserve boot camp, I honestly feel like it wouldn't be difficult. I'm 100% positive I could beat one of my friends in any kind of physical exertion test and he made it through, and he's not a mentally tough dude either

You sign your contract with the intention of being an SO. You don't become a BM anymore and then do BUDS. You go to a special 800 division at boot camp that has all spec war prospects in it. Then you stay in Chicago for a whole and go to pre-BUDS while you wait your turn to be sent to San Diego. This route of course is through the enlisted side not officer route. Has this guy been accepted to OCS?

Did your friend (s) go through Army boot at Ft. Jackson or Ft. Benning? The latter is definitely tougher.
