Although the film implies that Lieutenant O'Neil is going through S.E.A.L. training, she in fact signed up for the "Combined Reconnaissance Team" selection program at the Navy S.E.A.L.s training center, also referred to in the film as "S.E.A.L./C.R.T." training. The C.R.T., a fictitious special warfare group, brings together operators from across several branches of the service: Navy S.E.A.L.s, Army Delta, Marine Force Reconnaissance, and Navy Intelligence. The latter, of course, is Lieutenant O'Neil. The real-life S.E.A.L. training course is called "BUD/S" (Basic Underwater Demolition/S.E.A.L.). It is six months long, with an average dropout rate of around 75%. The film's S.E.A.L./C.R.T. course was three months long, with a 60% drop-out rate. The film's S.E.A.L./C.R.T. course included many elements of BUD/S. For S.E.A.L.s, the SERE course and training mission are normally part of S.E.A.L. Tactical Training (STT), another six months of advanced operator training that follows BUD/S. Not until completing STT and further testing does a S.E.A.L. candidate actually receive the coveted gold Trident insignia.
