Contract length for Navy SEAL candidate is 6 years?

Question

Boot Camp+ Seal Challenge + BUDs + Adv Training is basically already most of your contract.
if you enlist at 18 yrs old , your out at 24 . Your really a Navy SEAL from 21 to 24 yrs old right??
most of your training is taking up 6 years correct??

OR is the 6 years added after all your training??

Answer 1

The first day starts from the day you go to boot camp; so, it is 6 years altogether for the initial contract for SO Rating.



From boot camp to graduating from SEAL Pipeline (and receive the Trident) will take about 1.5 year. Then, there is a specialty training that takes between 2-6 months (depends on the specialty). Altogether, about 2 years training and 4 years as operator.



As operators, SEALs are always training either the On-Job-Training or re-qualification (they need to keep qualifications such as Jump, Dive Quals up to date).

Answer 3

LOL



Look kid I was gonna try to become a SEAL, but didn't since being in water 24/7 was just not appealing to me.



You have that all wrong.



It's Boot Camp 9 weeks if you count the in processing week. Pre-BUD/S which is 5 weeks. BUD/S 24 weeks. 15 weeks SQT. 2 weeks SERE. 1 week static free fall and HALO parachute training. That's it your a SEAL. That is just over a year of training. When you sign the SEAL challenge contract and get through all the training and make it into a SEAL team. You'll have about 5 years remaining you'll spend 5 years as a SEAL, and they go on lots of underwater missions. Hope you don't get killed or eaten by some shark, or drown. Good luck

Answer 4

"Contract length for Navy SEAL candidate is 6 years?"



6 years active duty yes, followed by two years in the IRR for a total of 8 years obligated service, which is a standard military contract length.

Answer 5

But that is all conditional on if you make it. You should also be looking at what Rating you can stand to do for 6 years if you fail BUDS.

Answer 6

The seal pipeline isn't even 3 years...
