Has a 38 year-old ever been.

Accepted into the BUD/S program and if so, did they make it and who were they?

I want to talk to them and find out how they did it!

1) Yes.

2) No, he didn't make it, but it was not because he couldn't perform physically.

3) You will not find many people willing to list names on a public web site, especially here.

Dont't know about Buds but Doug Fane (Red Dog) graduated NCDU at Ft. Pierce when he was 37.

That was then, this is now. The BUD/S cut off is 28. BUD/s has changed quite a bit since CDR Fane's day, and even mine when the cut off was 30. The cut off to join the Navy is 32. If you are 38, then you missed the boat. Sorry, you can still probably serve the nation in your local police force or fire department. The USCG Auxiliary doesn't have an age limit as far as I know. This ain't WW II boys. There isn't a draft and it's getting real competitive to even be in the Military.

Sorry, you can't talk to CDR Fane, in this life anyway.

Not half as sorry as I am . Planned to visit him last year but alass misse him. Still do.

Sorry, you can't talk to CDR Fane, in this life anyway.
