Hi, I’m a woman in her 20s and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL.<br />
<br />
What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? If you had to go to BUD/S again, how would you prepare differently? What books or workout programs would you recommend?<br />
<br />
Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course. Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress…

A woman made it to day 4 of BUD/S first phase recently but she quit on day 4. That’s the farthest a woman has made it. Her BUD/S classmates told me that her class hated her and ran her out from under the boat because she was a boat ducker. Nine women have entered the SEAL pipeline since 2016. Any SWCC Dads here?tag:navydads.com,2019-08-18:2150375:Topic:5206382019-08-18T09:24:51.548Zmarcthe5https://navydads.com/profile/MarcGMermel
<p>Wow! It's been 5 years since I've posted here. Since graduation my son has become a SAR (Search and Rescue Swimmer) and is now in SWCC training.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Hope to hear from someone whose son/daughter is either a SWCC sailor or is presently in training.</p>

<p>My son just finished BUDS and will be graduating SQT later this year. Can someone fill me in on how the banquet and graduation process works? There are family members that would like to attend but we don't know yet how many can attend.</p>
<p></p>
<p>We just arrived home last night after spending the week in San Diego. He has found a family in California that takes care of him pretty well. Since we are from NH this is like his West Coast family. So thankful for those who step in for us…</p>
