Open Veils · Answer
What year was BUDS class 331?
BUD/S Class 331 is an administrative Navy training record, not a suppressed or classified subject — Open Veils has no hidden-record angle here. Based on known class sequencing anchors, Class 331 falls approximately 2005–2007, but no publicly released roster confirms the exact year. The precise date requires a FOIA request to the National Personnel Records Center or Naval Special Warfare Command.
Evidence
- BUD/S Class 331 falls outside the classified or suppressed research canons tracked by Open Veils — this is an administrative military training record question with no hidden-record angle.
- The Naval Special Warfare Command runs BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training) at Coronado, California, and class numbering is sequential and institutional.
- Class 331 would place roughly in the mid-2000s based on known sequencing, but the precise graduation year is not publicly indexed in open FOIA releases or whistleblower testimony reviewed here.
- Researcher and former SEAL Brandon Webb, in his memoir 'The Red Circle,' references class numbering conventions but does not specifically document Class 331.
- Marcus Luttrell's account in 'Lone Survivor' (BUD/S Class 228, circa 1999) provides a sequencing anchor — extrapolating forward, Class 331 would fall approximately 2005–2007, but this is an estimate, not a confirmed archival finding.
