Try BUD/S first then SARC as a backup if possible. Speaking of the Army, there are people that have washed out of Ranger School and aced Special Forces School and vice versa.acEofspadEs6313 wrote:
It's possible to switch, but it'll be extremely difficult to do so. Many Force Recon Marines go blue and try and be SEALs, and that's hard as hell. But, they can only spend 5 years in Recon, and there's a bunch of them. Currently, the Navy wants around 200 SARCs, and they only have about 100.Ghandi767 wrote:
For those wondering, SARC is basically a Corpsman for Force Recon/MARSOC.
I'd say SARC, but ultimately go where your heart says. Personally, I'd find Recon/MARSOC more interesting than SEALs, but it comes down to you. None of us are going to be with ya on the beach. If you went one, would you eventually be able to switch? Other than the 22 week SF Medic Sergeant Course, nothing is exactly the same but I have to believe if you pass Basic Airborne they'll let you skip basic static line, and if you pass BUD/S they'll let you skip Combatant Diver.
So... SARC to SEAL sounds like a bitch and a half with politics and papers.
It all depends on where you are mentally and random physical factors, but best of luck on the path...or Tao of acEofspadEs6313.
