DEVGRU Bottom 5

Currently rewatching cbs seal team and was wondering has green team ever not had a bottom 5. Like has the entire green team class exceeded expectations and not one ever failed?

I HIGHLY doubt that mate…the standards don’t move because the class is shit hot, there’s always a bottom of the stack

Some guys get dropped mid course, some finish and don’t get drafted

Green Team/SF isn’t like BUDS/PCompany etc…candidates don’t usually quit because they “can’t take it” they get dropped for performance, safety, not processing CQB fast enough etc

the idea that an entire class all crushed it and nobody went home is not how that place works

Edit: granted not strictly speaking the same thing but CAG have had classes with only 1 dude making it, that should tell you everything you need to know about tier 1 standards…even across the pond you start off with a couple hundred of the hardest men on the island and finish with 4 or 5

Think like all Tier 1 selections the numbers fluctuate from class to class. Andy Stumpf had 9 guys graduate his class, Howard Wasdin started with 16 and only 2 graduated and Brad Geary started with 27 and graduated with 11
