I am not a recruiter, I went to recruiter school, but refused the job. I am working as a network security technician right now.

The easiest way to describe SBU is like SEALs little brothers...
Official U.S. Navy SWCC Information Web Site
SWCC Workout - Special Warfare Combatant Crewman Training

As for your chances of getting Green Berets... They'll take you into the training. They are pushing hard for young fresh SF soldiers. From there it is entirely up to you.

Good. Do you know what the training is like, I can't find a whole lot about the training. They don't say much on the Army website. How much longer do you have left in the Navy?

What are you leaning towards? I bet they're throwing you a huge bonus, right?

I am pretty middle of the road right now... They are offering me a nice bonus, and probably a Promotion, making me a chief (E7).

That's awesome. Chiefs are E-9 in the AF. I didn't realise that you are so high up there in rank. How do you like the Navt uniforms? I see the Navy everyday, and everyone makes fun of their uniforms. I didn't realize they wore those things in basic training, they can't be very comfortable.
Godbless, Tadpole.

Well I don't where the utilities (which I am assuming you are refering to)... I wear woodland BDUs. But I hate the utilities. When I was in bootcamp I wore dungarees, I loved those.

I am well versed with the USAF Rank structure.

The AF basic is such a joke, was Navy's hard. They spend more time screaming at you for not having your stuff folded than making you push. I almost had to make reasons to make me push.

Navy's was tough when I went through, but it's getting softer. I've heard about AF boot, I heard they can't even curse at you...

Nope.

They can loose a stripe, or their hat if they curse at us. It's ridiculous. I was embarresed to be there. I actually gained weight while I was there, and it was by no means muscle. And warrior week for the AF is the biggest joke. I actually know less about being a warrior since I went there...
