    What is your point?

    70-85% drop out, over a 56 week time line.

    After receiving the vacine, 65% dropped out in the first week.

    What you are referring to is biological sex. That's not the same as gender.

    Boot camp is 6 months 24-26 weeks.

    However, additional training of 6 months to a year is required before they join a team.

    I believe it. The first few days after getting the vaccine are rough.

    Luckily you're normal after that.

    I don’t know if this relates to the specific class you mentioned, but it’s about the right time period. A study was done on the higher dropout rate and it ended up being attributed to one new officer who was a real hardass.


    “The report also touches on a period of heightened attrition seen at BUD/S during 2021-2022 that started shortly after Basic Training Command, which oversees BUD/S, had a change of command in the fall of 2020. Beginning with Class 346 in January/February 2021 attrition during the first three weeks of 1st Phase began to “noticeably increase beyond historical averages,” the report states.

    It adds that “attrition due to candidates dropping on request during weeks 1-3 of 1st Phase rose during 2021/2022 to 48 percent and 49 percent respectively from the historic average of 30 percent.” This heightened attrition continued throughout the course of an unnamed officer being in charge of 1st Phase, until returning to normal levels by Classes 354 and 355.

    Exit interviews of those classes with heightened attrition rates showed that 91% of students who didn’t make it cited “physical limitations or a lack of motivation” as the reason for quitting and 8% cited specific injuries. The leadership of BUD/S, however, attributed the heightened attrition of Classes 350-355 to COVID-19, an increased intensity in how the curriculum was administered, including the addition of ruck runs to training, and “overly enthusiastic class leadership creating extra work at the expense of rest.” In other words, the student leaders of BUD/S classes were pressuring fellow students to drop out, and putting demands on their fellow classmates above and beyond the BUD/S curriculum.”

    The only class with the very high dropout rate in the first week was class 351.

    As you posted. Other classes around that time also had higher than normal dropout rates, due to positive covid tests. Sadly, when one classmate tested positive, his roommate also had to drop out. Even if he tested negative. This greatly increased the normal dropout rates during the entire training period.

    The covid policys in place at the time made it next to impossible to train the team concept so important in the seals.

    Remember, those tests can be reused hundred of times. So when you get one, share it with your friends, your family, or the homeless guys on the street corner.

    And if you use the same nose swab, you can guarantee that if your test comes out positive, so will theirs!

    Crap. I supposedly can get free test kits since I am on Medicare but no one had any so I broke down and bought from Amazon.

    Good of you to cheer for someone's death. In case anyone was still unclear about what sort of person you are.

    Definitely cheering.

    There is no evidence these deaths have anything to do with being vaccinated.

    I predict that everyone that got vaccinated will eventually die.
