Navy SEALs or Special Forces, or CIA?
first i was into navy seals and i hav a work out plan for it, but now im wondering wich i should go into? i hav lots of experience with computers, i hav experience with: Blender 3D, HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, Network hacking(with telnet and stuff, and on my own network, lol)... and alot of other stuff.
like if that helps in the cia at all... im 14 right now.
every day i hav a marksmanship practice hour, with a .22 cal rifle, pellet gun, and .20 ga shotgun(i practice that with clay pigeons). and i hav no real idea if this helps lol.
my workout is:
2 sets of 60 situps
60 pushups straight
when i can a 250 yr swim
and i alternate every other day between 1.5 mile and 3 mile run.
so i was wondering wat any1 elses suggestions are?
my plan was to graduate when im 17 then go into BUD/s and be a navy seal.
but now im wondering if i should go into SF or CIA instead?
and i dont care much for the money or things u get for joining, but if u do know id like if u could say that
so.. Navy SEALs or Special Forces, or CIA?

First is that when you say Special Forces you are referring to Army Green Berets. All other special units such as the SEALs, Air Force PJs, Force Recon, Rangers, are called Special Operations. To be in the SEALs enlisted you need to wait. As an officer in the Navy you can go straight there. In the Army you can get a contract to go to Special Forces school right away but many are unsuccessful. As an officer in hte Army you have to wait until your a 1LT promotable to apply which takes about 3 years. As for your strategy, its a good start for a 14 year old. Being special operations though is more than just physical its mental. You should focus on doing the normal things kids your age do such as sports and working out as well as getting good grades. Continue the workout but do not injure yourself. Just stay in shape. When you know your going then you can start getting really in shape. No special operations is easy and I have seen many friends who are Rangers not make it through SFAS. Then again I have seen non experience NCOs make it. Depends on your dedication.
In summary, if being Special Ops is your dream do not give it up no matter what others say. Get in touch with a recruiter when your older. For now, be a normal teenager and enjoy high school. get into a good college and become an officer so you have a degree later on.
(As far as I know about the CIA, they normally recruit straight from within or from the military, I dont know too much though and could be wrong.) Good luck and keep up the hard work.
Navy Seal To Cia
FIRST you have set a difficult path.....SF and SEALs want professional career soldiers......usually those on their second enlistment and have demonstrated leadership ability ( Sgt or higher)
You can enlist for 18X (SF) but you will never be on an A-team until you pass the Q course and are at least an E-5 (Sgt).....
SECOND... you will not find the CIA recruiting at your High School graduation.....they recruit from the universities and you need a very high GPA...... While there was some talk about the CIA forming it's own SpecOps unit.....they usually recruit SpecOps operatives from SF
THIRD..... your marksmanship training is probably a waste of time.....and might even hurt .....you form bad shooting habits that must be unlearned.... As to your PT program....you can never be in too good of shape.....keep up the good work .....You must be able to swim 50 meters in boots and full combat gear including weapon..... Your computer experience might help in the CIA (??) but has little application in SF or SEALS.......to get into SF you must have at least a 110 GT (intelligence).....so work hard at your school work.....learn all you can and keep a good GPA
FINALLY My suggestion to get to your dream the fastest is..... (CIA) get a university degree with high marks and apply out of the graduation .... (SF)..... Enlist Infantry...Airborne......get assigned to the 82nd Abn Div.... work hard and get promoted to E-5..... volunteer for Special Forces (keep your plans a secret.....many people in the division do not like "green beanies"....)..... If you really want the best....volunteer for Delta.... (write me and I will help you get passed the Q course)..... As to the SEALS....not sure but my guess is it will not be any easier than going SF......all the SEALs I worked with were outstanding......I met no "duds"
Seals sneak in from the coast deal with demolitions and sneak out. They don't get caught. Green Berets go into countries and train things like rebels and negotiate. They are the first ones into a country. Rangers do the most fighting and the most killing. They are elite fighters (they all are but the rangers do it the most.) They are skilled at going through the toughest environments to keep fighting. I would have to say Green Berets is the hardest to get into. Then Navy Seals then Rangers. Green Berets always speak more then one language. Usually languages like Russian and Arab. Like the Navy Seals they have grueling physical training. You need to slow down before you start rushing of to the CIA.
With the navy seals you have to be in the navy for some time before applying for the seals and it would be better to be an officer . Marines have force recon . The CIA can be to political . There are civilian camps that will give you the experience and training before enlisting check it out .
Navy SEALS ARE the Special Forces of the Navy. The CIA has their own Special Forces unit called the Special Operations Group, or Special Activities Division.
You will have to succeed in one of the Armed Forces before pursuing Navy Seals or Army Special Forces.
To really achieve what I assume you want in the CIA you would need to have a successfully have served in the Armed Forces.
However the CIA uses all kinds of domestic skills to achieve their missions.
Semper Fi
You are either an eighth grader or a freshman. I don't think this decision needs making right now.
All of those are extremely prestigious, by the way. How are you in school?
Also, most people in these organizations are quite intelligent, and it shows. Just letting you know, people understand intelligence more when you actually type whole words.
This is so funny. You do not even have basic grammar and compostion and spelling skills. You will not choose, you will be chosen,. Your exercise program will not even qualify you for the selection process. Wait until you are old enough. Then, if you are accepted to the military, if you are at the top of your class, if you are chosen, if you have completed all of your training, if you make it through the preselection process, if you make it through basic training, then you can ask someone who knows.
"and be a Navy Seal".. how easy do you think selection is?
No matter how much pistol training you give yourself you will never match up to the standards of special forces by the way SEALs ARE special forces, you could train all your life and still not pass selection.
