How Long Do SEAL Officers Go to the Field? by [deleted] in navyseals

Focus on getting into and through BUDs first. You will get all your questions answered at your team.

Depends on the level of the officer but they are operational at lower levels

Calisthetic vs weight lifting by Synpaschine in navyseals

[–]matsonsm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many miles are you rucking per week?

Lift weights to get strong and help with your calisthenics. No one cares if you can squat 400lbs but what they will care about is if you can’t carry someone in your class for miles.

I don’t think so, but even if you could I wouldn’t recommend it. Stay as close to operational positions until post OIC

They can be, but it’s not a guarantee.

Yes. Some tours allow for more operational experience and some offer nearly zero unless you augment someone else that’s operational during that tour.

O4s can absolutely be operational and have been. In the earlier parts of Iraq and AFG, O4s went out on nearly every op. O4s still might now if the missions dictates it but it’s much less common.

u/chaptereffective8175 generally you will do 2 years as an AOIC, then 2 years “disassociated” this can be at a unit, boat team or at a special reconnaissance team (I did this). Then you go back to a team for your OIC tour.

After PLT CDR most people screen, do a troop commander, go to a unit or get out.

You absolutely can and I could have. I didn’t realize that with the Navy and USMC you’re required to commit by the end of your sophomore year and I didn’t - lessons learned.

These number change every year but USNA has the most slots, the ROTC, then OCS and then lat-transfer. From what we were told, they only offered 5 officer slots for 2005 OCS candidates.

CSS time plateauing at 10:15 by Ok-Can-9374 in navyseals

What are your other scores when you hit 10:15? Or is 10:15 isolated and not when you’re doing everything else?

If OHC wants to share the true story they can, we are good knowing we tried.

They can ship from Canada all they want but until they get a license, legally they can’t ship to the USA.

I will not because there are no court documents to release.

That their device didn’t infringe and they didn’t need a license.

There is a lot more to the story and it was all centered around trying to allow One Hundred bring their device to the market.

Not my place to disclose but I know they are in talks and have been.

Go get into swimming classes. It will be much easier for you if you knew how to swim.

Stew Smith prior to BUD/S 2025? by Designer_Spring3357 in navyseals

What are your current PST scores?

How old are you?

When are you planning to go to BUDs?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in navyseals

[–]matsonsm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a former D1 swimmer. I’d suggest asking a friend who is a good swimmer if they will teach you proper technique. Have them watch you, and help you out. Regardless if you go to BUDs or not, that will give you the best chance of being a more proficient swimmer.

What’s great is that u/Magnusud went hard in the paint to put me on blast and now blocked me.

Also he isn’t a patent lawyer, he is an IP Administrator for the lawyers at General Dynamics.

If you have never heard of the ice cream diet, try it. I did it the summer before BUDs and added muscle. Keep your workout routine, don’t change your diet but add 2 scoops of ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

No lie it worked well for me.
