I know this post is 3 years old, but for future reference about anyone considering med school with prior military service as a SEAL. It is in fact a mandatory 8 year commitment for special forces. This is because of the amount of training and time they invest into the individual; they will not train you for 2 years and require only 2 years service. Food for thought anyone contemplating a stint as a special operator. I have considered it myself and instead am going to OCS for the USMC.

P.S. Folks who are special operators tend to stay in for the long haul.
