17 and 18 Year Old at BUD/S

[Smurf]

All the SEALs out there-
How would you say most 17 and 18 year old kids do in BUD/S?
Do most DOR, or is it the same as everyone else?
Good idea to go right in or bad?

I am not a SEAL, and have not "been there and done that", but many people who have have suggested I go to college first because it can't hurt and plenty of SEALs have a degree they say. I would also like to know what people think though because I plan on just signing DEP my senior year.

I've heard the same. I want to know what the Team guys think- I'm sure a few of them probably did the same thing.

Agreed!

IIRC, the only 17 year old to have ever graduated BUD/S was Scott Helvenston.

If there's anybody else at that age, then I'm clueless about it.

I remember the documentary on class 234- their youngest guy was turning 18 on the day of graduation.

Here's Scott Helvenston's tribute page from his girlfriend at the time of his death in Fallujah, Iraq with Blackwater. He's the only guy that I know of that on his graduation date was still 17 years old.

Rest easy Scottie.

Roger. Misunderstood. I thought you meant only 17 year old to ever attend BUD/S. RIP Mr. Helvenston
