After reading the first replys. I do see where you were trying to help. The "Smart ass remark" I said was meant as a reply that helped. I have no clue why I took the first few replys as a negative thing.

What SEAL games are you talking about though? I never ONCE even contacted recruiters. I was found while I was working out and they wanted me to start training with them. I said OK! and everything worked out except for the fact that I want SF.


What routes are there? 11b and then what? In your opinions, from experience what should I do? If I go GED Plus thats NOT being lazy! that's getting the same GED thats required! But then I go straight into training, which is GREAT. But would I have a better shot if I got the GED outside? And why?
Your constant questions and need for personal assistance are growing tiresome. As noted many times here, we are looking for self-motivated people in SF.

Apparently, you have not even read enough to understand the different routes to SF, which are described in at least 100 threads here. What are you looking for that you are not willing to help yourself first?

If you don't want straight answers, don't ask questions. On this thread, you have received the advice of more than 100 years of collective SF experience. I recommend that you take the advice, do the research, get your GED, and dedicate yourself to completing whatever course you choose to take.

This thread is closed.

Have a very SF day.
