The notice states that applicants must be male, in the ranks of E-4 through E-8, have at least two and a half years of service remaining in their enlistment, be 21 years or older, and score high enough on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test to attend a briefing to be considered for admission. (Protip: There are no 21 year old applicants ever accepted into training for DF.)
The ASVAB requirements are strict and rightfully so, but there are three other aptitude tests given that carry much more weight.
And they most certainly do accept 21 yrs olds into the program. Happens all the time. Doesn't mean they'll graduate all phases of the program, few do, but there have been plenty of 21 yrs olds who have entered the program.

No. They don't. There may be people who say "yeah sure I was 21 and got into orientation phase" but that shite does not happen. There will never be a contemporary operator who is 21 years old unless he is especially gifted. That's why most of the time they're not accepted.
And 21 is a much better age than 17. "Plenty" is something you're going to have to qualify. Is that 40% of a class?
20?
10?
5? I'd say any given class may have 5% of its applicants entering at an age before 24, let alone at 21.
I've personally met 17 year old SEAL candidates.
