Is it possible to get BUD/s on a Navy enlistment Contract? What's the process for joining a SEAL team?

MAJ David Kline yes, absolutely. I enlisted in the Navy with a SEAL contract and an $18,000 sign on bonus. The person will need to contact their recruiter and request to take a PST. The person does NOT need to choose a rating prior to taking the PST - this is a common lie told at MEPS. In order to earn a BUD/S contract, the person will need to have incredibly competitive scores. I got my contract with the following PST scores.

9:04 combat side stroke swim.
98 chest to ground push ups.
102 sit ups.
16 chest to bar pull ups.
8:54 1.5 mile run.

After they are selected for a BUD/S billet, they will need to take the C-SORT and continue improving their scores until their ship date in order to keep their spot at BUD/S.

*BUD/S Class 300. -2013.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.

I was approached by the SEALS in Boot Camp.(1971) My problem was the six year commitment. Since I had a good job outside I wanted to have the possibility of returning to it. I would have lost the right to return to that job if the Navy did not work out. I was also approached about the CT and OS ratings. Scoring 100% on the AFQT at the recruiting station and high GCT,ARI and the FLAT were probably causing the interest.
The other problem was the dishonesty that was the norm at that time by recruiters for anything. Had I not worked out for the SEALS i would have been committed for the six years, dumped in a rating I didn't want and lost the outside job. As it worked out I traded an "A" school for a duty station preference and received none of my duty station requests and ended up as a Construction Electrician where my trade in telecommunications was rarely utilized. I was originally supposed to go to Viet Nam to beef up whatever battalion was there at the time. Nixon's plan to reduce forces there caused those orders to be canceled and I ended up in a public works department in Puerto Rico that didn't need me. In fact I arrived in San Juan and got bounced around at different radio stations for weeks while someone figured out what to do with me. Kind of difficult to believe I was being treated this way despite being the first Construction Apprentice to leave Orlando after 142 companies had passed through before me. They had to order the blue stripes especially for me.

By the time my enlistment was up I was married. My wife absolutely hated the Navy. My wife had a BS in Physical Therapy and had little in common with most of the enlisted wives. She was really ticked off when she was asked to join the Officers Mess (O) but I was not welcome to go with her. How stupid is that?
I was offered Army Signal Corps School for 105 weeks. Fort Monmouth was about 45 minutes from my wife's family and would have been a good opportunity for me along with the $30K enlistment bonus. I'd already had 4 years sea duty, school was neutral and I was entitled to shore duty for two years. I'd have given up that job for a good opportunity but had to turn it down. My wife flat out threatened divorce if I reenlisted.

That outside job laid me off in 1985 after AT&T was broken up. I started a business that lasted 30 years, retired with five homes for retirement income and live in two of them, one an ocean front cottage near Camp Lejeune.

I would think things may have improved since 1971 but I have my doubts. One wonders how many good qualified people the Navy lost over this type of BS.
