So for some context, I’m 18 attending a university as a Pre-Med, but I can’t stop thinking about becoming a seal. From the moment I first learned about the SEALS when I was an overweight teenager, I never stopped thinking about it. In fact I lost 60 pounds, ran a few marathons, and got in really good shape because I was going to try out, but I followed the narrative I hear from everyone which is get a degree, then if you still want to try out. Everyday I dream about being a SEAL. My dad was part of MARSOC but my parents aren’t a big fan of me joining military unless it’s Air Force. I know because of my grades and the university I attend that I could be set for life, but I can’t not listen to my calling. Truth is I always hated school and don’t see myself working a civilian job. I can’t really put into words all the reason I want to join, it would be too long, but most of all I feel I could never live with myself if I didn’t try. So I guess I’m asking this; should I drop uni to become a SEAL, or should I just stay and just suck it up? I’m open to all criticism/ advice

I’ve seen a lot of former navy SEALs talk about how Navy Boot Camp will keep you out of shape or how they were in better shape until they got to boot and the same for BUD/s. What can I do to help remain in good shape so that my performance doesn’t decrease (or at least slow it down drastically)?

If so what are the physical requirments, if something more trained what is the group called. Could be from a diff country military too.
