Calling All SEALs

Off Topic
1

so, I’ve searched and read thru many threads about becoming a Navy SEAL, but has anyone here actually done it? Any Special Ops guys at all?

  1. I’m curious about what the hardest part of it was and what you wish you knew going in that you know now.

2.Do you enjoy your job? Was it everything you expected?

  1. How much of your chain of command is comprised of other SF/SEAL/Spec Ops? In other words, how often does some pogue office boy tell you what to do?

Can’t give you an answer to your first question and only an anecdote on the second question.

I spent two years in ROTC at OKState before I left on a knee injury but we got a special brief by an Army SF Major who had some command experience in Afganistan and he seemed to really enjoy his work. He had some really interesting stories of working (negotiating deals) with the Northern Alliance leadership.

As far as the third question goes. The SEALs along with Army SF, Rangers, Nightstalkers, Delta, PJs and the like all work for Special Forces Command which is a tool used by other Force commands (CentCom, PacCom etc). Those in command were originally one of the combat arms and not a supporting unit.

Do these commanders work in an office? Yes, but all of them have combat training and a high probability of combat experience. Good luck and God bless. I hope this was some sort of help.
