First of all, when you're a junior member of ANY military branch you're going to clean, clean and clean even more because you're the guy/gal at the bottom of the chain.
Second, the Coast Guard is the Navy minus the big ships and the chance to travel the world.
Third, I'm not sure whether you're looking to work on computers or interpret sensitive data. As far as the information technology field goes it's the same in all branches. Computers; setting up networks and maintaining them. As far as intelligence goes, it's similiar across all the services with a few exceptions.
Last, do you even qualify for the military? How old are you? Height/Weight? High school grad/GED? History of athsma, ADD, ADHD? Ever been arrested? Ever taken the ASVAB(score)?
PS: Watch out for your weight. You're over the weight limit for your height in the Navy and the Air Force so you'll have to tape under 25% body fat. Not sure about the Coast Guard, though. Look it up, all branches, that is.

All those are totally different from what a SEAL does also most SEAL's have trained their whole lives to become SEAL's. SEAL's are Special Ops which is different from what your looking for like Intel.
I would contact whatever branch your most interested in and have this information ready like which jobs you really would like and see if they can get it for you, and just go from there if you are able to get the job.
Rich the drop rate is not below 1% lol I have no idea where you get your info from but that is way off. It is some of the toughest training in the world but the drop out rate for BUD/S is around 70-80% not 99% lol.

Seals is the hardest job to get in in all military branch, pass rate of buds is less than 10%. I don't know anybody pass the seals challege, and I talking about the strogest physical in my units. The problem is the intense swim test and brutal physical every day, sometime you might can hande but your body can't. Navy also more job deal with intels, will be more suitable for your need.

My husband is in the Navy, so I know you will not be a janitor. He had considered the SEAL program, but it would be over a year of training so he abandoned that idea. Also, the physical demands are really intense. With intel&com, you'd likely be on a ship.

I know for the Coast Guard investigator to enlist in this program, you must attend the Reserve Direct Officer Program. You must also be a graduate of a basic police or criminal investigator academy and be currently serving as a law-enforcement officer with a minimum of three year's experience.

If you are interested in the Air Force you can always try for OSI (Office of Special Investigations). AFOSI provides professional investigative service to commanders of all Air Force activities. It's mission is to identify, exploit and neutralize criminal, terrorist and intelligence threats to the U.S. Air Force, Department of Defense and U.S. Government.

"PS: Watch out for your weight. You're over the weight limit for your height in the Navy and the Air Force so you'll have to tape under 25% body fat. Not sure about the Coast Guard, though. Look it up, all branches, that is." For the Coast Guard they go off your height and weight to get your weight limit. If you are over your max weight, they tape you to get your body fat percentage. They take your neck and abdomen measurement. If your are under your body fat percentage then you will be fine. I know guys who were over the weight limit, but not because they were fat, but because they were solid muscle.

Navy Seals and Intelligence & Communications are your 2 best bets for undercover work.
Seals are the most difficult and trying of the military. It is solely for those that are physically capable and completely dedicated.
You can do it!!!!

Go to college and get a degree in Finance or Accounting and learn Arabic you'll be on the CIA or FBI's "most wanted" to hire list before you can say Illegal Occupation....
