Is there a primary home duty station for SEALs like there is for SF (Bragg)?

SF training is at Bragg, but that is not the "home" base of the Army SF.
Different groups are stationed at different bases throughout the U.S.

FWIW, the option 4 (ABN) added to an MOS gives pretty good odds of being in Bragg, if that is a deciding factor for you.

Yeah I realize that. Congrats to you by the way for getting the tab. I fully intend to go airborne if i qualify. Unfortunately, I had ACL surgery in High school, and my recruiter isnt confident they will let me go without a waiver, which would disqualify me from airborne as i understand it.

If you can't pass an ABN physical because of your injury, then you cannot get an 18X contract anyway. Maybe not SEAL either, but I don't know how the Navy handles all of that.
I went to BAC with a guy who had a waiver for a shoulder issue from his childhood. He was able to get an Option 40 contract, so it can be done. That is a case-by-case situation. Full disclosure: he didn't make it past the APFT because his injury limited his ability to lockout his pushups the way the black hats required.

PFC Jim Wheeler - I wasn't sure if you did. Until recently, I didn't know that CAG had a SF identification. So given the claim of intel, SF and SFOD-D, I was merely playing devil's advocate because those alone are feasible. Granted, in addendum to my advocacy, I did highlight that his behavior was not becoming of anyone the is or claims to be SF (of any sort), and that I will be reaching out to verify his standing.
Woo-sah brother, I assure you I was not insulting your intelligence.

Wouldn't be the first time, and it certainly won't be the last. But no, I was just replying to that specific comment
