Lt. Gen. Fran Beaudette, head of Army Special Operations Command, said they have loosened some restrictions on who can try out for special forces units  which included requirements on the amount of time in the service or in rank a soldier had done. The standards for passing the course havent changed, he said, but at least the applicant pool is more diverse. ADVERTISEMENTFor the SEALs in particular, leaders say young minorites may have less access to pools or be less focused on swimming and may not be attracted to jobs that require high levels of water expertise. For some of the special operations jobs, as much as 20% more applicants have expressed interest in going through the selection process. Now, all special warfare recruits go through boot camp with the other sailor-trainees.
