Not all of the guys in it are even in NROTC, some of them want to to EOD and some just want to be in good shape. The most I heard was that one year 8 guys went to BUDS from A&M, 7 of them were in platoon and the only guy who didn't get his trident wasn't in the platoon. Then again, some years nobody goes so it really depends.
Alright thanks bro
Do you know by chance how many guys went this past year? And I understand this is a pretty difficult question to ask, but do you think there is a better SEAL officer training program out there? Thanks again.
...your Sn is awesome btw, RLTW!
Yeah, I've only heard good things about it - few years back I heard all 16 members of SEAL platoon went on to get their tridents...as you said, the best training that goes on outside of USNA. Or at least IMO.
Did you See Joe Kapchiewski's new book? Solid book on Ranger batt, I'd recommend it to anyone.
Speaking of which, Are you still in college or are you AD? If the latter what unit are you in? Have a good one.
For any Aggies, recent grads, current cadets, can you shed light on the SEAL platoon? From what I understand, it's probably the best SEAL officer prep units in the Country. For example, I had read a stat that said that the 16 members of the SEAL platoon (class of 2012, maybe earlier than that not entirely sure) received all 16 NROTC SpecWar billets and all later received their tridents. Is that true? I also hear that they schedule training trips, Scuba, Rifle/Pistol shooting, etc, - any truth to that? Thanks,
You might want to keep asking this question, try and find some answers from current cadets and grads rather then high school students. Reality vs Research can be a big difference.
True, the reason as to why I created this thread was because of that. Are you a Cadet/Grad? Thanks.
Is it possible for a Freshman to transfer into Texas A&M's corps of cadets? If so, is it a 4 year school, or is it still considered a 3 year school (because you transferred)? Thanks.

This. I only know this stuff because I asked guys in the Corps there as well as the head of the NROTC department, I suggest you do the same.
Sent you a PM.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate the advice. By chance, did you receive a scholarship to TAMU? And can you answer some of the SEAL questions I had posted above? Have a good one - jct95
Yes, I received both an Army and a Navy 4-year scholarship. I accepted the Army one, so most of my research has been for AROTC. You might contact Navy LT Heru Mansell [hmansell(at)navy(dot)tamu(dot)com] for NROTC questions. He might put you in touch with some current SEAL Platoon members as well.
I had emailed the public affairs office, is that him? Thanks.
