How many platoons in each SEAL Team are HALO qualified? Also, how does one get into an SDV Team rather than a regular SEAL Team? I'd only like answers from actual SEALs please

We don't have HALO platoons, the way Army Special Forces does. We do have a certain number of HALO/HAHO- qualified guys in each platoon, though.
If you want SDV, you will most likely get it. Most BUD/S students and SEALs on Teams try to avoid SDV for reasons we discussed in several different posts. Just a bad perception, I guess. The SDV is an awesome platform, when they let us use it. Right now is a great time to be in SDV, for reasons I won't mention over the web.

Hey, thanks a lot for the answers ChickenHawk- how long were you in the Teams? I'm 17, thinking about doing Naval ROTC but may not- just curious. Thanks again!

Joker: Still in, at 19+ years (18 with the Teams), and currently forward deployed once again.

Chickenhawk: Thumbs up and good luck on the assignment- you have any bias on which SEAL Team is best? Not trying to ruffle any feathers-
Joker, out
