#6 Navy SEAL Officer Assessment and Selection (SOAS)

This is preliminary screening to qualify for SEAL training.
Since December 2015, women have been eligible to enter the SEAL training pipeline provided they can meet the same acceptance guidelines as men. Women accepted into the program undergo the same training regimen as do the men. As of November 2018, one woman has entered the training pipeline but dropped out during the 3-week Indoctrination phase prior to entering BUD/S. The policy is under review.

#7 I'm in no position to criticize since the bar would have to be below sea level for me.....

#10 A former BUD/S instructor colleague described this as an “exposure” for officers. Not comparable and generally not newsworthy.

#11 CL, she did not attend BUDS. Correct? She just did the pre buds (selection) training? Sort of like RIP for the Rangers or Pre selection for the Q course??

#13 Correct #11. Not enlisted man’s (ahem) BUD/S. Sounded more like a flight of 5 oz beer samples versus being run under the keg upside down.

#14 Think subdermal layer of fat :). I HATED being immersed in freaking cold water for hours under physical and psychological pressure for what seemed like eternities (not BUD/S) and found it to be my limit for staying alive. I AM NOT SEAL MATERIAL! Hated that kind of stuff. If an XX can make it through, great.
