Academy grads will go to mini-BUDS and for a few months prior to classing up, but yes Academy shits will go straight to BUDS.

If your guys is going to the Academy, tell him to try out for water-polo, they have the highest grad rate.

He can also go ROTC, but BUDS is a tough billet for ROTC. Enlisted is the easiest route and least responsibility during class.

Also, ignore recruiters and most other advice. Get your guy in contact with a dive motivator (and there’s no such thing as UDT, that went away with Jesse the body. And certainly don’t hit the fleet for a few years prior to going out west.)
