Okay guys, what do you think: I got this idea from reading the warrior elite. Anyway, since SEAL officer slots are slim to none right out of college and the Navy currently needs Surface Warfare Officers, what are the chances of going SWO, serving whatever is required and then transferring to BUD/S? I am currently a 21 year old college senior so I would be commissioned sometime when I am about 23. I also think that serving as an SWO would give me some leadership skills in the fleet before attempting to lead the best of the best. What do you guys think?
