<p>There is a triathlon club at USNA. Do i need to try out to get in? I know you need to try out for the boxing club. Do you suggest a Plebe to do triathlon club(the way to i'll prepare myself for BUD/S when i graduate) ? Or what kind of club should I join as a Plebe?
Also what is the mini-Buds course. What do you need to go there as an advancement training?</p>
<p>I am interested in becoming a SEAL. If i'm cut, is it still possible to do avaiation or even switch over to the Marines?</p>
<p>The Triathlon Team is a club sport. Tryouts are during reform in August. There are many intramural sports that you can pick to play as a Plebe if you do not make a Varsity or Club team - a Varsity, Club or intramural sport is required of every midshipman each Semester. There is no opportunity for Triathlon during Plebe summer, however you can run cross country during afternoon sports. Unless you validate Boxing during the summer, all Plebes take a boxing class - where they are encouraged to "let the inner beast out!" There were many times that I told my Plebe that mom didn't need to know how his or the other guy's bell got rung! (Son's roommate had his shoulder dislocated!)</p>
