Can a Navy recruiter promise Dive School in writing in a contract?

You don't have to enlist first then submit a request for being a Navy Diver. They only say to enlist in another job field first then try for Diver because in the case of you failing out of the program they won't have to try and figure out where to place you in Fleet. That's the only.. reason. Make sure you have that in writing in the contract that you ARE a Navy Diver candidate. They are apart of the Naval Special Warfare anyways, so most Navy recruiters don't know much about SEAL, SWCC, EOD, or Navy Diver. Don't let them try to tell you otherwise. You have to pass the PST's required for it first though. If you don't while at MEPs then you can enlist in as a Diver candidate.
