Exactly what Guppy said. You wont touch a dive rig until second phase, so get stronger, faster, and more injury resistant so you stand a chance of making it there. Also, your probably going to learn bad habbits. Go in a clean slate.

And something doesn't check out. You dont just join as a SEAL because your recruiter let you push your date back. you have to earn your contract for SO to go to BUD/S by having killer PST scores amd qualifying CSORT. Im amazed your NRS would let you move a ship date for what is still a big maybe for you. Unless your already a competitive athlete the PST isnt something you will do well at over night, let alone over a few months. The consensus is it takes about a year of solid, dedicated and specific training to put up optimal numbers in the draft.

There is a huge difference in seeing a movie and wanting to be a SEAL and being ready to actually do the necessary work to become a SEAL.
