Before a sailor can go to Navy SEAL or Special Warfare Combatant Craft Crew training, they get sent to the Training Support Center in Illinois.
This is where they get their first taste of the Naval Special Warfare training and lifestyle, preparing candidates for the real deal in Coronado, California.
It is a long and thorough process to earn a contract to attend BUD/S or SWCC school. Those that do receive a contract go to Navy Boot Camp and are assigned to 800 divisions.
These 800 divisions are comprised of SEAL, SWCC, EOD, Navy Diver, and Air Rescue candidates. The purpose of these divisions is to hold candidates to a higher physical standard and to begin grooming them for the tough training they are soon to endure.
