If that's true why is the Navy more willing to take that risk on an enlistee than the Army?

If you fail the quals in the Navy for Spec Ops you get to paint ships from end to end for the rest of your enlistment. If you fail in the Army, you go to the Infantry, combat arms, combat support. That is really oversimplifying the issue but it cuts to the chase.
Also I am not sure if you can join the Navy to go straight into "Spec Ops".
