Good Lord, people should not answer questions if they have no insight.
First of all, you could not BE a SEAL. Seals are men only, sorry.
Piloting is possible, but you cannot wear corrective lenses and your vision must be perfect or nearly so.
To my Naval experience, you likely would be a superb candidate for a Seaman First Class on a submarine. Shortness is an advantage there.
And the position is a Yeoman, not some rap crap title.
The best opportunities for women are in the US Navy. Good luck.

Depends on the area of the navy you go into. If you go into the Navy Seabees (like army core of engineers) you could try being a "Yo-Man"(can't remember actual abbreviation) which works in an office, or an SK which is supply. I have seen short female builders and steel workers in the Seabees too.

The Navy has over 100 different ratings. Take the ASVAB and see which ones you quality for. It doesn't hurt to see where the Navy has shortages as it is easier to advance there if you wish to make the Navy a career.

There are many jobs in the navy... I myself am in the navy, and it all depends on what you would like to do, there is a job for everything from cooking to working on airplanes... talk to a recruiter and he'll give a list of jobs to pick from and you pick what you want the most...

i agree with Jeff L almost.. subs are not for the week at heart and it's only men on a sub.. ever heard the phrase 30 men go down 15 gay couples come up?? I( would say air traffic control, and yeoman or SK are good rates for females stay away from being unrated.

not sure why you are mentioning that your short, it shouldn't affect anything you do unless you want to be a basketball player maybe....once you take your asvab, that score will tell what you qualify for in the navy job wise. take the test and you recruiter will tell you what you qualify for...good luck

Whatever you have an interest in. Size and gender don't really matter in the Navy.

All the Navy Does is sit in a boat for 2 years in a room with like 4 other people. You train and basically a Navy Seal is taught how to kill anyone with anyone (like a napkin)
