After a prospective SEAL passes BUD/S, can he still be dropped in STT Training?
Yes - it happens all the time. Tadpoles are not SEALs until the successfully pass STT. There then used to be a team board which included written and oral exams. I think I heard that they recently changed the process so that the Naval Special Warfare Center now controls STT (versus the individual Teams) and the students get their tridents after STT - but the Team can still boot the new guy if they screw up...anyone else have input on this??

Oh yeah. There was this officer that passed BUD/s and all. When he went to the Teams, he got booted out. I guess its his attitude.
