[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 64927, member: 123"] Whew! Tough entry requirements! My nephew (a hard-charging, physically fit 19 yr old) recently graduated Navy Air Traffic Controller school in Pensacola, and I saw him this past weekend when he was home. He mentioned he would like to be attached to a Marine unit as a ATC. He did the SEAL Challenge in Boot Camp and passed all of the events except the swim (500 yds I believe) due to his time. He's a strong swimmer, just couldn't get the time down. I told him that at least he had the gonads (I used a different word) to try it, instead of sitting on the sidelines and just wondering if he could do it. He is now on his way to his first ship, and I'm sure he'll do well, if he doesn't get bored, lol. [/QUOTE]
