What, if any, schools/courses can be omitted for prior service guys (PJ)? To expedite answer, I have the following schools and curious if I have to "re-do" the dick-dance: SF CDQC (key west '04), Airborne '04, US Naval MFF (at Otay Lakes '04), USAF Survival (SV-80), USAF Special Survival (SV-82), USAF egress (SV-84), and others but irrelevant (maybe) to SEAL pipeline. Don't mind having to, really, as training is a blast when looking back on it all, but would rather be downrange... Also, Im not trying to be a medic anymore, so can I avoid that or will the Navy find out and put me in a Corpsman slot?

You will have to complete BUD/S Dive Phase (2nd) in its entirety because it is integral to the process. You will not have to repeat S/L or MFF. We run our own version of SERE tailored to NSW so you will also have to take it. If you make it to the end of SQT just be honest with the training cadre about not wanting to be a medic anymore. I don't see them forcing you because they haven't forced anyone else.

It may be quite obvious, but just to expand upon what Senior said, you will have to complete ALL of BUD/S in its entirety not just second phase. ;)

Frog, if you were you referring to SV-80 and SV-82, my apologies for the format. The 80 and 82 are course numbers.
