I'd be an 'AL' as I'd gladly jump out of a plane at FL300 but not so much jump into the sea.

I understand that!! I'm currently working on getting me a contract that will allow me to do just that in the Army.

Swimming skills can be learned/taught, don't give up on something just because it looks daunting.

LeadHead:
You can learn to swim good quick, with the right determination! Chris Kyle was never a good swimmer and he hated water. He learned real quick how to swim in basic before he got to BUD/S. He was lucky that he got a delayed BUD/S class date, or he wouldn't have had the extra time to learn. Given that very short time, he was able to get good enough for SEAL standards. He called himself a "L". A SEAL without the sea and air, he hated those.

Is this so

I can do a lot with my own body weight so that's very beneficial for training but I am poor in the water. I do LOVE air though. I feel like I have the determination to succeed, but I didn't really think that's something that can be taught. Thanks for the enlightening, I'll look back into it

Air force

but I thought about following my grandpa and uncle into becoming an army ranger, my mom won't sign off though unless I go through the ROTC. I don't really like college though at all, but I'm keeping my mind open.
