Lao language - History. 1  The Lao language is descended from Tai languages spoken in what is now southern China and northern Vietnam in areas believed to be the homeland of the language family and where several related languages are still spoken by scattered minority groups.
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.
Odds of Completing Training. The odds of you completing SEAL training are not favorable: 1 in 4. Each year, about 1,000 recruits make it to SEAL training. About 250 complete their training and join approximately 2,000 more active SEALs, who work among nine active duty teams. Some SEAL candidates choose to drop out of the program, and some are forced out. Candidates who fail to complete training are reclassified to other jobs in the Navy.
