I was wondering about being an army diver. I have heard that there arent many slots open, so it is pretty competitive. I was wondering where they train and just how competitive it is. Anyone have any info or experience with this?

4 years active duty and I had no idea the Army even HAD divers. What the hell do we need divers for? The Army doesn't even own a boat.

You sure you're not thinking Navy, bro?

I believe they train with Special Forces in Florida. And yes we do need divers, but it is a very small community.

Au contraire...it has its own fleet of logistics supply vessels, skippered by chief warrant officers. Visit here to see pictures of SMA Preston visiting the SP/4 James A. Loux, and here to get general info on the LSVs.

Back on topic: whatever Major TI says.

oh, by the way... the army has more boats than the navy... just little known fact crom cliff claven

Army has divers they are mostly in SF like TI said.

their completion rate is lower than that of the Seals.

lol I have friends on boats. We have hovercraft too...

Arent the divers on special operation forces and not Army Special Forces? (not to say SF dont get bubbles...)

I stand corrected.

Like I said, I didn't know we had them. But I did say that we don't even own a boat. My bad, and my apologies.

Carry on.

Positive. I think its mos 21d or something. I talked to a few recruiters on the goarmy website and they said it is one of the toughest courses because there are so few slots available for it.
