If so, what was it like for you ? Should one train for a year prior to joining the navy and eventually going to bud/s?

I know someone who has gone through. He went to Pensacola for basic and had a chief help him get ready for buds.
If you go make your mind up to go through with it. It ain't easy.

Navy basic training is in Great Lakes, IL, not Pensacola.

I know a guy who was a former SEAL. He went to the Naval Academy and played football there. The Academy has something like a "pre-SEAL" curriculum where you are mentored by current or former SEALS to prepare you. He was an athlete, in supreme shape, trained for 6 months solid before he entered, and knew exactly what to expect. He still said it was brutal as frick and kicked his arse.

He said what washes out a lot of guys is the next phase which is water/dive training. As a SEAL you have to be comfortable in the water. A lot of guys who could cruise through BUDS fail in the next phase because they can't get comfortable and operate in the water in stressful, dangerous situations. City boys country boys aren't used to it and fricks with their heads.

How old are you?

Do you have prior military service?

Why do you want to go to BUDs?

Depends on what type of conditioning you plan on doing. How do you think you are going to get in? Its mostly done by invite so you may not even get he chance to try.

I don't think you understand the phases very well.

Find a bell in your house and ring it a few times. You're done. I think this is a non-starter for you.

I swam in college... 0% chance I'd finish buds. I hate cold water with an undying passion. Besides that aspect it would've been relatively smooth sailing, from what they tell me.

What the frick did you just fricking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the frick out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fricking words. You think you can get away with saying that shite to me over the Internet? Think again, fricker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fricking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable arse off the face of the continent, you little shite. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fricking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shite fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fricking dead, kiddo.
