These are just the crews that man the small boats that transport the Seals. They won’t be going to BUDs.

That is what I thought. Boat squadrons are part of special warfare command, but not the same as SEALS, That is what I have been told by sailors.

Another woman, who sources say is a junior in an ROTC program at an unnamed college, has applied for a spot in the SEAL officer selection process for fiscal 2018, which begins Oct. 1

Just the crews... Really? You might want to tighten up and do some SWCC research before you piss off more than just this one!!

*******************************************
In the Navy a sailor that crews and maintains the small boats dispatched from large ships is called a Coxswain (Cox’n).

They did a great job getting us back to the carrier anchored a mile or so from port when we had Cinderella liberty in the Med., (especially during rough weather).
