potential eligibility to potentially become an NSW recruit (Navy SEAL 
or SWCC), to determine which information is most appropriate to send to 
each prospective NSW recruit (e.g. how to improve their swim times, 
profiles of Navy SEALs similar to theirs, general information about 
Naval Special Warfare), and the alignment of an individual's profile 
with historical success at Navy SEAL training.
