<p>I’m a little confused by your question. Through the USNA and NROTC programs in college, the Navy trains future officers to fill their needed roles across ALL of their communities - surface warfare, submarine warfare, aviation, the SEAL community, Marine Corps, etc. All of these communities are equally important. If your son has an interest/passion for being a SEAL officer, I can only see that as a positive when seeking an appointment at the academy. You mention that SEAL’s draw primarily from the enlisted community. Are you not aware that ALL SEAL teams are led by officers? I was a navy pilot and have several friends that were Navy SEALS, commissioned through the USNA. I can assure you that the Navy does not have any negative prejudices against anyone seeking a career in any of their communities. Having a passion for being a SEAL officer commissioned through the academy can only be positive factor in his seeking an appointment there.</p>
