    SEALS are the tip of the spear.. getting that trident is a lot of Blood Sweat and Tears. I wasn't a SEAL,.. but my first school was on Coronado Island, in a critical Billet, top secret security clearance. I had a couple tours over in Lebanon during the bombings, Grenada, 3 years NATO Europe. Thirteen of us graduated that first school. I cannot even begin to feel so fortunate, that I was one of that small group. People fail for whatever reason. The military is not an easy go, and that goes true for many ratings. Honorably discharged I came back home and lived my life out in the sticks and raised my kids here. I'm a grandfather now. A lot of success is all inside of you... But also in the quest of the military, there are people that fail out and that's just the bottom line. The SEAL Teams will push that to the Limit. No one is a failure for making the attempt ... not every person is going to make it through many types of military training. Be proud of whatever you choose , and be humble that you are one of the 1%, that have served our great country. Special memories to my father, 7th Division army, Korean War 1950 through 1953

    This is an SQT graduation. The "300" on the billboard in gold is shaped out of their "tridents" (the SEAL insignia they wear on their dress white uniform) they revieved sometime towards the end of the ceremony. BUD/s graduation does not award the trident. Only SQT. They are simply on the grinder of the BUD/s compound because that is where day one of BUD/s begins, and as we also see ends once completed.

      KyllJoy BUD/s is 24 weeks long or 6 months long, and SQT is 28 weeks long or another 6 months I believe. So in total the whole SEAL training is 1 year total or even more, that’s if you get rolled back due to injury or not passing an evolution. If you’re thinking of joining, don’t look at the months ahead simply focus on the present day. As they say “One evolution at a time”.

      It's hard enough just to be considered for training, let alone get selected for training, actually making it thru BUD's along with the extra year(s) of training to actually earn a Trident and be called a SEAL.

      It's quite clear this is SQT graduation, the Tridents making up the "300" will be pinned on the left breast of each new SEAL. Seems everyone knows about BUD/s but still don't understand what it is which is merely a phased stepping stone for a candidate to move onto SQT, only after SQT does one become a SEAL.
