Then I read a comment. Something along the lines of "SEALs are looking for recruits in these types of competitions because unlike other Spec Ops branches, the SEALs refuse to lower their standards."

Does anyone take offense to this? Has SF lowered their training standards in the past few years? I mean, I know the Army has. I see it everyday around me.

Forgive me if I've stepped on any toes here. I wasn't implying that SF has softened up. Just wondering if it has changed it's requirements some.
Before you post again read a bit more. (You attempting to live up to your screen name?)

Your question has been answered, more than once. This post came very close to ending up in the "Hallway".

Next time think before you post.

I/We will not warn you twice.
