<p>A portion of USNA graduates are able to select SEAL training. They do the selection process based on class rank, or at least they used to, and I would assume that is still the case. If, when graduation time comes near, he is high enough on the list as far as class rank goes, he can select what ever area there are billets left.</p>
<p>I knew a number of graduates who selected SEAL training. One went on to lead a seal team.</p>
