From all my friends who had become SEAL's when I was in, most didn't get into the training program right out of Boot Camp, but instead were accepted into the program after two of three years of active duty. Having been stationed with the seals for several years, the average age seemed to be about 21/22 years. And no, I was not a SEAL. You might be lucky and a current member might respond with a more accurate answer, but in the meantime, I hope this helps.
SDV Teams and NSW Units. There are other specialized teams of SEALs called SEAL Delivery Vehicle teams (SDVT). SDV teams operate in areas where it is too far out for a SEAL to swim and carry gear. Using underwater SDV watercraft, these teams increase the areas in which SEALs can operate. SDV teams usually deploy from submarines, but can also deploy from shore-based stations or surface ships. There are two SDV teams.
