BUDS (Basic Underwater Demolition School) commonly known as Navy SEAL Training is probabally much tougher do to it's length and rigor. It's not uncommon to see an entire class fail BUDS. \n\nRanger School though, is no picnic. I remember reading that 75% will not manage to make it through their first attempt and 50% will NEVER make it. Both are very, very tough schools and keep in mind... these are guys who have already gotten through basic training and infantry school.

There are no better or best. There is bragging among the membres of the various groups, but only in a joking way the way you would brag about your high school being better than another high schoool.\n\nThe two groups are both elite in their service, Special Forces in the Army of which I was once a member and the Navy Seals. \n\nThey are trained for two different missions, but both are highly trained units with lots of the latest weapons, escape and evasion techniques as well as languages of various regions.\n\nSpecial Forces are taught to jump from airplanes as well as helicopters to secure an objective,like airports, ammo dumps, political buildings, recapture prisioners. They also gather intelligence of ground troup strenght or an area. They might also be sent in to train the people from a certain country and set up groups to fight.\n\nSeals do the same but mostly in and around the sea or other water areas, though they might also find themselves on the ground doing a job also.\n\nSo to say that one is better than the other is not something that you can compare,since each are given different missions and goals to accomplich.\n\nA person should be proud if they are selected to become a member of either of these highly trained units. They are also opened up to women now. You must join the Army to become a memeber of Special Forces and the Navy to be selected to be a Navy Seal\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck

The physical training is out of the world, and women, who have their monthly "issues" would prove to be a grave deal. SEAL's constantly train, train and train, we train in water, land and air. Its very hard for a women's frame to deal with a 85lbs ruck sack, and along with that to carry a 22 lbs Sk25 automatic rifle.\n\nWomen also could not face the extreme mental exercices Navy special forces go through because its defined through men emotional set standards. No offense to women, but you all have a high emotional level. Put a man and women, of ABOUT the same physical features, but mentally under stress of war zone and all, and quick thinking about protocol, the man would win, because he is more likely to survive in war zone under mental capabilities. \n\nMen also in general have a better body muscle, and can endure war zones better than women. It is a proven study by Loyola Medical University in Chicago, Illinois that anyone in the desert storm, going through black op missions as men do, would not be able to cope with 1. the heat 2. extreme pressure 3. the ability to maintain a clear objective in mind\n\nWomen are seen more as a family moderated human being. You have never heard of a woman mass murderer, and frankly with all honestly, women can't shoot, run, PT, and drill harder than women at the 18 - 35 range. No offense. \n\nI've served 10 years in, so if you have any questions, feel free to email me.

The easiest way to differentiate them is their primary missions and average duration. Seals are small commando units designed for immediate insertion and extraction. Sustained mission times are primarily 24-48 hours. Delta Force are guerilla-style inserted units that act as forward battlefield commandos and liaisons between friendly and local resistance with normal mission times about 30 days. Standard Green Berets primary mission is training of locals for national resistance. Their mission time can be a year or better. Rangers are normally platoon to company size elements designed to be inserted and hold key battlefield terrain until larger combat units can reach and relieve them. There normal mission times are from one week to a month. Combat Controllers are closely related to Army Pathfinders, they operate in small squad size elements designed for forward battlefield close-air support. Their normal operational time is one week to a month. One of the biggest mistakes that are made when dealing with these types of units is the attempt to make one of these units perform a mission that is outside of their primary missions (sort of a one-size-fits-all thought process; a specops unit is a specops unit is a specops unit). It is also normal to hear people try to compare them which is nearly impossible since they are like comparing apples and oranges. Each has a different specialty and is trained to perform differently. Trying to determine which one is "better" should be expanded to "which one is better for X mission".

If this is a joke, ha ha.\n\nIf you're serious about being a SEAL, forget about it.  SEALs have some of the toughest training and physical requirements of any military program in the world.  Even among the applicants they accept, the dropout rate is very high.\n\nWhen you can run 10 miles, swim 2 miles in the ocean, and do 200 pushups, all without breaking a sweat, then think about becoming a SEAL.

You will get basic discipline out of it from your schedules.  Waking up early, getting certain things done in a short amount of time.  Keeping your area within certain specs.  You learn to be more aware of yourself.  Depending on your tech school (career choice), you may get more discipline there.  Security forces is a little tougher.  Para jumpers will have more.  I think that you can make the right moves to make you more disciplined.  The Air Force is definitely more geared towards brain than brute however.

The UFC guy. Why? Because the Navy SEALs actually spend very little time on hand to hand. Remember, the military assumes people have guns and knives. Even according to a marine combat instructor I know, the combatives program is actually meant until your buddy can show up to shoot them. Besides, knife fighting is still more emphasized than empty armed combat. That is not to say that a SEAL isn't a very good fighter, it just means the SEAL combatives program isn't very in-depth and detailed.

There are search and rescue operations, leaders of navy seals and underwater demolitions, there are tons of officer positions in the navy for qualified rescue personnel.  Its all about how much training you are willing to ut into your career.  Have you thought about specialized sub rescue that is operating and commanding deep sea rescue vehicles which might have saved sailors on the kursk?  I am a licensed respiratory therapist and paramedic from the army back from desert storm, I don't practice anymore but I still use my skills and I'll never forget my war time experiences, don't worry about getting your hands dirty, right now we need men like you to save lives.  The Navy has good benefits and good training. I just moved from a house right next to sub-base Bangor.  Everyone was a submariner or on an aircraft carrier out of Bremerton.  Look into it and join up.  The service years were the best years of my life.

First you join the Navy. Then if you stand out among the best you may be asked to try out for the Seals or you may see or get the opportunity to try. Not many that apply, make it through training.

Navy Seals as well as Deltas all have the capability to insert by sea air or land.  However Delta's in by invitation only.  Meaning not just anyone can become a Delta.  Seals are open to all active duty Navy men.  \n\nThe process of becoming a Seal for what its worth seems easier, (Time and paperwork wise, not physically)  however Seals get all the perks.  \n\nWhen it comes to Seals you get everything from un-FDA regulated performace enhancers, to pills that make you not have to sleep.  Aside from that you get extensive weapon training and the possiblity to earn more confirmed kills.  \n\nDeltas usually return to normal duties after war, however Seals return to thier commands (NAVY SPEC WAR BUDGET WAS 2 Billion Last year)  They get great duty station choices, and the respect that comes with being a Seal.  \n\nWhen Seals walk around in uniform, they are celebrities within the Navy.  The Gold Trident can be seen from 100 meters away.  The girls are all over them.  I dont know about Deltas, however I would rather be a SEAL.

People who do not have any military background often do not make the correct distinctions between different types of units.  They are just not as familiar as military personnel with the correct terms.  There are, however, a surprising number of military personnel who don't understand the differences either.  I would assume that comes from being stationed or assigned in units that are not near any of these types of units.  I think you are not differentiating between an infantry soldier (or any other type of soldier for that matter) that has been to Ranger school and one that serves in Ranger Regiment.  75th Ranger Regiment is not "Special Forces" but it does fall under the Special Operations Command (unlike 10th Mountain or the 82d ABN).  The difference is between the term Special Operations and Special Forces.  Special Forces are comprised of 18 series MOS personnel who have attended a series of schooling to qualify.

Air Farce has better training opportunities, but if you're hard-headed and need a kick in the butt to get motivated you need the Marines. I'm Navy, wish I were AF.
