<p>Well, in my day, SPECOPS was just a hair “easier” to get into than SPECWAR, simply because you had a few more billets available. Since I’m hearing numbers as high as 40 for BUDS these days (an outrageous number in my day), maybe things are a wee bit different now.</p>
<p>As for training, SPECOPS is pretty intense, but not BUDS intense from what I understand. I wish I knew more, but I’m afraid I’m not an expert in the area.</p>
<p>If your goal is to do SPECOPS after graduation, that’s great. Just make sure you STUDY, WORK OUT, and STAY OUT OF TROUBLE at USNA. Being a leader among your peers helps immensely, too.</p>
<p>If it doesn’t work out, then floatin’ a boat is always an option. ;)</p>
