The graduation scene makes them SEALs or CRT?


At the graduation scene they are handed a badge that says 'CRT' for Combined Reconnaissance Teams, not a SEAL trident. Upon graduation, would O'Neil now be able to refer to herself as a SEAL or as a CRT?

Nit-picky question I know.

The fat lady has sung, she's done and is being dry-humped in her dressing room.

CRT is not a real thing...they couldent have a story where a woman goes through SEAL training and graduate because women aren't admitted to SEAL/BUDS school....at least as of now...

She is wearing a trident at the end but they would be CRTs, which like the above poster said is not a real unit. To earn the trident and the honor of saying you are a SEAL, you must graduate the 6 month long BUD/s, SERE school, US Army Airborne School, and then 6 month long Seal Qualification Training program. Upon all that training then you must go in front of the trident board and be allowed to join the teams by fellow SEALs. It takes about 18 months for an individual to earn their trident (assuming they pass everything first time of course).
