No, but a broader pool always leaves higher chances of finding what you need. Why choose only from those who are trained when you can choose from virtually any healthy male who lives in the country legally. You never know when some rando off the street could be trained to do a SEALs job better than a man who is already in the military.

Basically, they have the time and resources to search a large pool, so they do. No sense in narrowing the initial search when it's simply unnecessary to do so.

you really shouldn't bother trying to get big. once you're out of boot camp and have access to all that delicious, nutritious protons and vitamins, you'll get told by the Cole's LPO that prebuds can't take supplements.

You only need to worry about getting circumsized since you'll be working for Israel anyway

Can you really not take any supplements in Pre-Buds? I know you can drink protein shakes in BUD/S but why not Pre-BUD/S?

He is right. It's better to be lean than big. You will be starved, dehydrated, and sleep deprived in buds. Big dudes need more food than smaller dudes. Just keep running amd swimming.

He means roids.

i never found out why, nor did any prebuds i met kno definitively. but they do inspect prebud barracks to see if they have supplements, cigarettes/chew, etc.

your recruiter is correct lol. Dude trust me you dont want size. That will only fuck you on the O-course, soft sand runs, swimming, and drown proofing. Do some weight lifting twice a week for upper and lower body, thats it. Look up Stew Smith he has all the fitness advice you will ever need. As someone who is 20 and going to start the enlistment process to get my SO contract, the game is mental. You need confidence in your abillites and be able to push through and preform even when in pain. You'll be fine. Pre BUD/S will put you in great shape for indoc/phase 1
JUST DONT FUCKING QUIT
do you want to be a SEAL, or just say it? think about that.

Hooyah man! Maybe one day we will be in the same TEAM. The only thing I want in life is to be a SEAL. Being able to call myself one is only a perk.

pic related, Im the faggot in the center with the Buzz cut. Look up SEAL fit Kokoro camp. I was the youngest grad in my class (18) so I have a taste of the pain/sleep deprivation of training. Gotta want it more than anything.

160 lbs at 5'11" is pretty big. Not big as in strong. You're definitely skinnyfat. You're not fooling anybody, buddy.

t. 5'10" 160 lbs before I started lifting

Well before I started training I weighed 128 pounds, most of the weight I have gained is from Muscle.

I had this dream once OP, . Please be a seal for me.

>thinking the military wants mass
kek

They want someone who can walk 20 miles without dying of exhaustion, not a SSGOMAD hulk of roided gainz.

>SEAL challenge contract
You do realize that all special operators are chosen from the best of the people already in the military right?
You don't get picked up at random, you put in a packet after you reach your duty station.

>thinking SEAL training is anything compared to Mossad training
You goyim don't know shit about real trial.

t. jew

You don't want to bodybuild. All that obstacle course work will be much easier if you're light and can move your bodyweight a lot.

Just read and watch what they do in BUD/S. Never at any point do they have them lifting stuff that would be difficult to move for ten reps. It's always a whole team of guys dragging a boat, or doing some pushups with scuba tanks or running with something heavy overhead.

Weight will also make you more susceptible to stress fractures, which are the leading cause of medical dropout.

Why do you care about being the skinniest guy there? They talk about how college football stars get dropped the first week for having trouble with the o-course.

You do realize the SEALS have a civilian pathway where you get a contract before you go to bootcamp if you score high enough on the pst and ASVAB right?

Buckle up, embrace the suck, and don't give up. That's pretty much the only advice anyone can give you - whether you use it or not, it's all up to you

>Weight will also make you more susceptible to stress fractures
Good goy

Don't lift weights, eat soy and nofap.

Test is bad

I would imagine core strength gains would be good to focus on because carrying heavy logs and running on sand is gonna work that core and legs.
My 2 cents: a ton of calve raises to keep you upright when you no longer want to stand upright in that horrible sand.

Yeah, getting big biceps will prepare OP for Cardiofest: San Diego.
