<p>Yep.</p>
<p>I have to wonder though, if re-applying to BUDS is possible once you’ve spent some time in the fleet?</p>
<p>The problem is that by the time an officer gets into the fleet as a SWO, he has had so much schoool and training that transfers to another community are extremely difficult to swing. You’ve got to be GOOD.</p>
<p>One other thing to realize about being a SEAL Officer. You will do two or three tours as an Operator, and the rest flying a desk somewhere. It’s not like the enlisted guys, who serve for YEARS as operators and trainers. I got this from a SEAL who was getting out at the same time I was specifically because he didn’t want to fly a desk anymore.</p>
<p>If I had to choose, I’d rather be an enlisted SEAL than an officer. You get to do the fun stuff MUCH longer.</p>
<p>I really hope someone can come in here and prove me wrong, but I’m not confident of it. Sorry if I burst any bubbles…</p>
