It depends on how far you've advanced in training, and what your Navy rate is; DOR's (Drop On Request) can be initiated by the candidate at any time during BUD/S training; not everyone who successfully passes Basic Underwater Demolition will necessarily pass SEAL training as well. If the candidate passed BUD but not SEAL training, they'll have an option for joining one of the UDT teams.
However, most DOR's are during initial BUD/S training, and as such, when the member is dropped, they are returned to their previous status (rate/rank) for reassignment as deemed appropriate by the force detailers. Being dropped isn't a bad mark on your record by any means; the Navy recognizes that the percentage of candidates who successfully become SEAL's is extremely low.
The options today are far better than they used to be years ago; for many years, only those in non-technical rates could apply for SEAL training, of which there aren't many in the Navy now, or then. Typically MS's, YN's, GM's, BM's, etc., applied, and if you didn't make it, you couldn't apply for a more technical rate. Today, any rate can apply, technical or not, giving the candidate better career options if they don't pass.
