Can a soldier in the US marine corps switch to be a united states navy seal?

Answer 1

Any U.S. Serviceman can become a SEAL, as long as the educational, physical, and madical requirements are met. In the case of a Marine first said marine would have to serve his obligated contract with USMC, or get a waiver and sign new contract of enlistment with the navy. Just talk to your career counsellor and get guidance on proper course of action. But the answer to the question is, YES a Marine can become a Navy SEAL, there are just a few more steps to climb. In any case if being a SEAL is the goal then that person will find a way. I know several former Marines that are in the teams now.

Answer 2

No - only Navy and Coast Guard males are eligible to volunteer for the SEAL Teams, and the CG eligibility hasn't been in effect that long. Prior to that, SEAL candidates were not only limited to being Navy, but had additional rating restrictions as well. Only non-technical rates could serve as SEALs. That has since changed as well.

Answer 3

No, Navy SEALs are members of the US Navy. The Marines are a separate branch of the military. You do not become a SEAL by joining the Marine Corps.

Answer 4

No you cannot do that. The Navy SEALs is just that the NAVY. You would have to finish your enlistment in the Marine Corps and then join the Navy.

Answer 5

No, not at all. Seals are part of the Navy (they are an elite Special Operations group), whereas Marines (while technically a Department of the Navy) are their own branch of the military.

Answer 6

Yes but you might be deranked or up ranked depending were you where in the Marines.

Answer 7

They would have to end their commitment to their branch, and then join the US Navy.

Answer 8

Yes if they switch and enlist in the Navy
