He graduated SQT this spring and has his bird. He's doing his last training before he is sent to his team in HI. i know his training won't always be there, but I would like to be so I can see him during the short breaks he has. All your advice is really helpful, ladies. I appreciate it so much. I love him enough to put up with this and knew what I was getting into from the start. I'll be one of the 10% who makes it!

ktwitch, I thought I'd add a comment on marriage for SEALs. First it takes a really long time (aprox. 2 1/2 years) to earn their Trident. During training you need to be prepared for constant schedule changes and very little private time. Training never stops, Trident or not. They deploy in a different manner than other Divisions. I'm not sure where you got the 2 year rotation info but it isn't current. He won't be training in beautiful Hawaii. The best advise I can offer is learn everything possible about SEALs. Ask question from those who've been through it. Read books. (PM me and I'll give you a list.) Watch the 7 videos on Class 234. The special on the Discovery Channel a couple of nights ago quoted a divorce rate of 90%. That's true and it takes a very special woman. Once you've researched everything you can, make a decision on how to move forward.

No matter what at some point of our husbands or boyfriends careers we will all have to deal with deployment special ops is just different because they really can't talk to you as much compared to deployment on a ship either way there is loss of communication and even when on a ship they can't tell us where they are going. As someone who is wanting to be a wife you have to understand the sacrafices that are going to have to be made as a wife your job is keeping a house a home and taking care of all the things he doesnt honestly have time to do . Yeah they are tired most of the time but they love us. Just think positive and encourge marriage when it comes up in conversation.

Yes that is what I was saying you get to move where he is going to be training since it is going to be longer than 20 weeks when you are married you get a lot the navy is very family oriented. Sometimes.

Be married, you can be movied to his training school with him and you two can more or less live with each other. and you would recieve BAH. I think thats what she was getting at. The fact you can have time together

Thanks, Skell456! That's a nice thought to know there is support even if it's through internet! Good luck with your man and his future, too.

What do you mean it's better if they're married? SEALs are gone a lot and normally have that 2 year rotation where they're on training and deployment...my man is on a special team so I don't know if his will be the same or not....

Oh man I cannot imagine what you ladies are going through.  I ccan a little because we all have to have time apart, but that much time must be miserable.  I hope I  do not  have to go through any of that.  My husband talks about doing different things like the SWCC program and things, but I just always say we will save that for the future lets get through this first.  Why argue about it when he can change his mind by then who knows.  Good luck to all of you ladies, and know we are all here!!!  That has helped me a lot

Hey ktwitch my husband is in Bootcamp and he wanted to become a SEAL and he has a dif job right now but in the next two years he wants to change to SEAL's I bought him many dvds about the SEAL's and their training and I watched them with him. When he had talked the recruiter before there was no discouragement with being married its better if you are because where most of the training for SEAL's is they will staition him. I heard that they are gone for a long time . I went to the dentist and the receptionist husband was a SEAL and she said he was barely coming home after 2 years. My husband wants to become a SEAL and i will encourage him but also let him know that it is already hard being without him
