One thing that struck me was the lack of any talk about SEAL Team 6 Selection. The way it was presented, it seemed like Team 6 just interviewed some SEALs with good records and then brought them into the team. There was no additional Selection course above and beyond BUD/S. That surprized me. Also, it was interesting how he described the Delta Operator's reaction to him after the Battle of Mogadishu: he said they were surprized he would shoot/fight because he was a SEAL. They didn't expect much of him... which makes me wonder why Delta had that opinion of the SEALs.
There is a special on the Discovery Channel call The Secret of SEAL Team Six. It mentioned their selection process. Supposedly, potential members have their names put up in a hallway. Current members that know them put a green check or a red x by their name. If you have more checks than x's, you get to go to Green Platoon. Green Platoon is their "selection"/training course. It seems a lot of guys still wash out at this point.
I think when you're reading ST6 memoirs it depends on when the member joined. In the beginning, Marcinko handpicked his team through personel files and interviews due to the short timeframe to get operational. I believe the process has become more formal through the years. The first group supposedly had some newbie SEALs in it. Now I believe you have to have five years service or two combat deployments as a SEAL before joining.
