Whew...well...first of all, i respect both. Secondly I wouldn't marry you whichever you were and I don't care how cute you are lol. I personally always dreamed of flying and I've got to say I think A10's are pretty neat. I could see flying being a lot of fun. SEALS are the ultimate if you want to be trained as an all round warrior. I can't imagine anyone using the word fun to describe being a SEAL though. Training is very demanding and you'd better be absolutely convinced you want it because getting through the training is a matter of pure will. It comes down to what role you see yourself in and what your abilities are. AS far as how many get in and how many get through training I can't give you specifics. Both will fail people in training. The SEALS will fail a much higher percentage. I would say if you are qualified mentally and physically it would be easier to successfully complete flight training than SEAL training. That's about all I can tell you. Hopefully someone will be along with more complete answers for you. Good luck.

They are both equaly respected and hard.
If you are one of them, you belong to the best of the armed forces. Many apply for these jobs and few are accepted.
Im my opinion, being a SEAL is harder, because there is even more physical fitness required than from a pilot.
Being a SEAL is also more dangerous, because you are conducting ground operations whereas a pilot sits in his jet and is hardly shot down.
I would prefer being a SEAL, because I prefer physical efforts and ground combat.
10% of those applying to the SEALS actually make it.

Both jobs are both considerably hard and highly respected. The difficulty of either jobs depends on the individual. Some people were born to fly and it's like nothing to them, while for others, it could take some getting used to. To be a SEAL, it is generally more physically demanding than a USAF pilot due to the fact that you have to operate in land, sea and air and also operate without the use of any vehicles as well. With this being said,to be a USAF pilot, it is also physically demanding due to the high G maneuvers that you have to perform in dogfights. As for respect, I think both SEALs and USAF pilots are both highly respected people by friend and foe alike.

You, sir, are an idiot. Learn basic grammatical structure, write in complete sentences, stop with the run-on nonsensical sentences, and do some Googling.

That said, I know an Air Force Fighter pilot. And out of thousands and thousands of applicants only around 200 graduated in his class. He is the best of the best of the best. Its very hard to be a fighter pilot, and if you aren't genetically and mentally what they want, you won't make it, no matter how hard or long you work.. The Navy Seals are also selective looking for certain qualities, and their training is tough, but it is harder to become a fighter pilot, I think.

Well, personally, both are fine professions to go into, assuming you can get in either one. Both of them are really tough to get into, and you have to be pretty fit and gung-ho to survive in them.

If you don't have perfect 20/20 vision, you might as well not even consider being a pilot though, cause the Air Force is pretty strict on vision standards (cause if your glasses fell off, or got fogged up, you'd be hindered for a few moments, which may be just enough for you to get taken down by that enemy pilot, or crash into that mountain cause you weren't paying attention).

If you're looking to get more "in your face", then a Seal is the way to go. They have pretty strict physical requirements though, so most likely you can't just join them right away. Whereas a fighter pilot is far up in the sky, a Navy Seal goes down on the ground and does the stuff that needs to be done with his team (and you always work as a team, don't believe that "lone wolf" BS movies may have you otherwise believe). Anytime a mission requires a Seal, then you'll be on the job, and your tasks will vary depending on what you have to do, be it rescue a hostage, or take down some guards to help secure an area.

Of course, if you want to do that kind of stuff, you might as well join the Army and join the Rangers or Special Forces. They're the ones that usually get to do the "fun" missions, fighting behind enemy lines and doing those top secret missions that you don't get to hear about either. Plus you don't have to spend the majority of your time cramped on a ship.

Navy seals are harder to get into, and harder to complete the training. Air Force fighter pilot is paid better, and get's more respect because air power is the biggest force we use since the 1st Gulf War.

Eternity ~ Class of 1989

Married couples in the US Armed Forces end up with a lot stress and if they have children it can get worse. First is the money problem. Second is the temptation for adultery is hard especially the the deployment of their spouse gets extended like they get such as a West Pac Tour which ranges from six to eight months. Third is if the spouse dies whether peace time or war time are legal documents such as Power of Attorney done correctly and how will they live. Once that spouse(s) are dead they can NO longer live in a military base,they get kicked out[the US Government will call it displacement or relocation]. Fifth is another tough: children. They move a lot and hardly get to keep any friends especially if their parent(s) are career people.

Employers no longer give preferrance to US veterans because all they care is how much money can they make by hiring them. Even those that earned the Medal of Honor,M.O.H.,do not get special treatment.

If you decide to enlist or get a commission,make sure you know what you want to do. The best respect comes from oneself in knowing that all acts were done without conviction and will never regret it. You have a better chance of seeing other cultures and visit places that as a civilian costs too much money. Be All You Can Be.

how about a navy pilot? Top Gun did better at the box office than both Iron Eagle and Navy Seals combined!

Both are very high on the respect scale I would say the seal has the most respect. The pilot however has the most money. Pilots are officers and in the military it's rank that determines base pay. If you want high respect and high pay become one of the elite either a marine or navy pilot they both operate from a carrier. Operating from a carrier separates the men from the boys.

seal by far

Mr. Mauser

Being an Army veteran, I can only hazard a guess that it would probably be the Navy Seals. I'm pretty sure they're pretty much like the U.S. Army Green Berets or Rangers. I'm not sure if the Air Force has anything like them or not.

Navy seals are more of a search and rescue/search and destroy type element. Air Force Fighter Pilots fly around and bomb stuff, there is no real need at the current time for fighter pilots to be around...unless they are doing Air to Ground attacks, if you want to be in combat, then I would suggest being an army pilot (A-10 Warthog is a cool plane, it attacks tanks and fortifications). Or a navy pilot, they are the best of the best. Back to Navy S.E.A.L.s, S.E.A.L. stands for Sea, Air and Land. If you wanted to be a hardass be a seal, if you want to be smart and get a job other than security or police work after you get out be a pilot.

I love 'em both. However I think the Navy Seal would be considered harder physically as you are often in hand to hand situtation. I love pilots, but they do have the protection of being able to shoot enemies down from a distance....Navy Seals have more variety and a different type of danger. I respect them both and are very thankful for their service..

I will say this though......fliers have some techniques that are incredible ...haven't tried a Navy Seal yet....

Country Girl

I would say a fighter pilot is hotter...the whole Top Gun thing. Plus you'd be around more for a marriage than if you were a SEAL.

Personally, I am a PROUD Army wife! Seek what your heart is after; that's the only way YOU will be happy; you have to be happy to make anyone else (especially a spouse) happy.

God bless and Best of Luck!!!!!
