My SEAL movaitor ( seal recuiter ) gave me a booklet and in it there is the training they go thru and the length it takes. He said if all goes well ( that means you dont get rolled back or kicked out.) It could take you 13 months from getting in boot camp to becoming a SEAL, however it usally takes 2 1/2 yrs.

Hello, I'm new to all this so please excuse me if this question sound silly. I just recently sent my son to FT. Stewart NCO
training academy. He is going to boot camp. Since he was old enough to talk he said he wan't to be a navy seal. I have never discouraged him. I took him to all the places and watched all the discovery channel show. Timed him while he held his breather underwater till he would almost passed out. Timed him while he ran miles, swam miles,counted situp's,pushup's, pullup's and what ever else he got into his head to do. Now reality has set in. He is really going to do this! He is finally old enough to join the Navy Sea Cadets and i took him to signup this summer.
I'm getting to the question i promise! Now he is only gone for 2 weeks and i'm driving myself crazy worrying about him.
What can i do to keep him from knowing how i feel. He is only 14 years old. I think he is to serious about all this or am i just being selfish? That is my question.Should i tell him he is to young to spend all his time worring about being a Navy Seal ? Should i tell him how i feel? Should i just be happy for him and let him grow up? Please Help!

I can't really help cause I'm not a mother and I don't know what it is like to have kids but it's understandable that you worry about him, my mother would too. If this is what he wants to do then you should continue to support him the way you have been because it will help him alot. But you should also tell him how you feel, I know i'd like to know what you think, assuming you were my mother. Your definatly not being selfish, it's a mothers instinct to worry for her children. Being in the Sea Cadets is a great way to meet other people also, and they teach you alot there.
I think the best solution would be to talk to him face to face and really discuss if this is what he wants to do with his life, but don't forget it's his decision, aslong as you support him it will make him happier, and if he knows how you feel he might slow down a little, after all, he has his whole life ahead of him.

Yours is more a parenting question rather than a Navy SEALs question. I believe your feminine, Motherly concern is kicking in normally. If your son wanted to be an Olympic Diver, or an Olympic Skier and devoted approx the same amount of time into his goals, would you be concerned?
Unless your son is withdrawing from normal social growth to participate in his SEAL preparation I would say he is OK. There are many alternate activities out there that are worse. At least he has a goal, rather than being led by the leaderless.
If his school work is OK and he has a normal amount of friends he is in excellent shape. And he has a caring Mother.

REESE,
you really don't need to talk to a specific SEAL motivator. Go to any armed forces recruiter, go to the "Navy" office and ask for a " BUD/s warning order". It breaks down EVERYTHING, from the beginning when the UDT's were formed by Kennedy to detailed descritons to the 3 phases. You can also find it on www.seal.navy.mil
It's very informative.
More stuff in the "warning order"- the physical screening test, monthly hazard pay as a SEAL, break down of location of different SEAL teams,training to do before you get to buds, how to stretch, what to eat. Pretty much it's everything you would want to know in about 23 pages.
Hope that helps. good luck
p.s. just to let you know, I'm not a SEAL, I'm actually goin to workout with my motivator today. I hope to be in boot camp by August!!! HOOYAH
