I have read alot of threads here on the navy SEAL web site but the question i want to ask hasnt come up yet.
my question is a little complicated but here we go; lets say i was an EOD for the navy, u know; passed all the training, advnaced training ect. and it was time to renlist. and i wanted to renlist as a SEAL, would i have to go to BUD/S and all of the classses required to get to BUD/S, or would there be a different program for people who do that? plz help me out.

If you were a SEAL and wanted to go EOD then you would have to drop your SEAL NEC's in order to go to EOD school. However if you made it through all of that training I seriously doubt that one would want to go EOD. If EOD is your ultimate goal then you need to focus on that.

well i am still looking through all of my options in all branches of the military, and EOD is a possiblity. but my question is the other way around, if i wanted to go from EOD to SEAL.

The answer is that you'd go through the exact same training as everyone else. Just because you would have made it all the way through EOD school doesn't mean for a second that you're going to make it all the way to the teams. You get tested just like everyone else. Hell, even ex-Army SF guys coming over have to go through BUD/S and everything else...and vice versa.

Actually, this used to be somewhat common going either way. More common for SEAL's to cross over as they got older. As missions have shifted, there's really no benefit to switching any more. THose that have both are refered to as Twin Pins.
