| No Chance Outside | Give this forum a search. There are a lot of threads regarding personal fitness. Look for posts from KJ as his advice is pretty solid. And don't forget to get good grades. Don't know if you should stay with hockey. If you get a bad injury, it's over.

| Primus Pilus | Do you have some way to get around the fact that you're Canadian? Not that that's a bad thing, but SEALs are pretty picky, and foreign citizenship can hurt or eliminate your chances for a security clearance.

| No Chance Outside | Foreign citizenship WILL deny him a proper security clearance inside the US military. It's the reason why if you do not become a US citizen during your four year enlistment, you cannot re-up and you cannot make the rank of E-5 or above. |

| Primus Pilus | Is there a Canadian special forces team that you could try for instead, or do you have an inroad to US permanent residency and citizenship? |

| No Chance Outside | Of course there's a Canadian Special Forces team. |

| Primus Pilus | I wasn't asking you. I wanted to know if there was a special reason he wanted SEALs. |

| No Chance Outside | Probably some kind of movie or video game motivated him. |

But if you really do want to join an SOF unit, you should know that you don't just walk into the recruiting office and say 'I want to be a (insert SOF team here)'. In respects to both Canadian and US militaries alike, you first have to join the military as a typical grunt, and do boot just like everyone else. After a few years of service you can apply to go through the basic SOF training of your choice. For Canada, it's JTF2 or CSOR (JTF2 being more special than CSOR). For the States, it's all dependant on what branch you go. If you really want SEALs, you'd best like the idea of joining the Navy. From my perspective, you'd be better off joining the Canadian Forces and then later on progressing to JTF2 or CSOR than trying to join the USN and jump through the hoops of becoming a citizen just to be a SEAL. Whatever you do, I wish you the best of luck.
