I resemble that remark...ha ha. About 75% of the EOD guys are BUDS-Duds.

Just for the record it is a WONDERFUL recruiting tool. This is how it goes:

I'm your recruiter...I offer you SEALs. You get all worked up and excited about it. You can't believe that YOU are being considered. Then once you get to BUDs they have about a 90+% drop rate. Once you drop...guess what, the Navy has you for the next four years to do what they want with you. It isn't like you can say; well I gave it a try and it didn't work out for me. Then walk away. No, you are LOCKED into a four + year contract. It's a great recruiting tool!!!

Just have the right mind set when you enter--as everyone has already pointed out.
