You can't "join" the SEAL teams - you enlist or get commissioned in the Navy and apply for the program. It use to be 35 years old was the cut off for enlistment. If I had a dime for every SEAL team or fighter pilot that ended up working for me in the last 20 years ... I'd have enough for a Big Mac meal super sized!
Detachment 13 was aboard as of yesterday (the rats are leaving in droves as we sail past Hawaii) so tonight at dinner if I see one of their CPO's I'll ask - the CPO's are in their mid-30's at least. |

I guess "join" was the wrong term to use. Replace this with "be accepted into." Thanks for looking into this in advance Paul.

35 in the Army to be accepted into Basic Training. If your already in the sevice you can take these different schools when your pretty old.
In my Ranger Class there was a guy in his late thirties and I know I saw guys older than that at RT. SF seems to be the same way, I`m not SF Q but I`ve seen guys fairly old going to Benning to start their training. |

Force Recon will also take you till 35. If you go the Reserve route you don't need to "try out" as you join the FR unit. Kinda nice that way.
