Also, have y'all read that 3 Coast Guard Officers have earned the SEAL Trident, and are currently serving in the SEAL Teams for 7 years? Oh, I'm feeling a custom coming on.

If someone wants to be a special operator, Navy SEAL is second to PJ in terms of time starting training to actually going on missions. Marine dive school is 35 training days or 2 months long (depending on the source). Why in the world would a marine go through BUD/S for dive training and put up with an extra 4 months of other B$. In that extra 4 months he could be finishing jump training and preparing to deploy with his unit. BUD/S is for people who want to be Navy SEALs. Nobody goes through for fun.

Side Note: Supposedly two coasties should be graduating SQT in the next month or so.
It's come up in different contexts before. There was controversy; because, the CG was supposed to use these guys as the core of their own spec ops program. But 7 years is a long wait to get started.
