navy seals are an elite fighting force and much of what they do is... uh discreet? So much so that their identities are concealed; all this goes to say that it impossible to know the casualty rate for what I am going to corando to become. All the same cause its a little boring knowing the outcome all the frigin time. ---Crazylozo Going to Corando to become? Purhaps but not likely. Life expectancy of a Navy Seal, 485. Old and ugly.

No, you have to be in the Navy to be a SEAL. The army has its own special operatives, however. Delta Force is the absolute best the army has to offer. Many consider them to be superior to the SEAL operators.
The life expectancy of a soldier landing in the streets of Normandy was about 3 seconds. Every three seconds a soldier would die.
The life expectancy of the servicemen depended on the job position the service person had. For instance if you were a ball turret gunner your life expectancy was three hours. If you were a General you were expected to live to see the end of the war or at least get close to the end of the war. If you were a nurse or doctor you could expect to live through most of the war but if you were a "medic" or rather an army corpsman you had a life expectancy of 3 hours too.
Some may, but being a former Vietnam POW does not automatically mean that one has a shorter, or longer, than normal life expectancy.
Approximately 3,403,100 US servicemen served in Southeast Asia (2,594,000 of those men served in country); nearly 60,000 didn't make it back. Those are your "life expectancy" figures.
