Used to be 50% failure rate. I believe standards are lower now.

I was an Air Force Pararescue candidate back in the day and "drowned" (blacked out) three times in one day.....Although the instructors respected that I didn't quit, I was promptly washed out. LOL

Wow that’s some dedication, I’d have given up after the first time or second time …

Only way out of NPS (8204) was BUD/S.

I do not know those numbers, with the wayback machine, 3353 and such comes to mind. What's the deal?
