I'm not especially surprised about that; the nearest example characters I have have about 150 points in skills. You can, of course, chop the skills budget and keep the same skill levels by raising attributes. 3e Special Ops was keen to keep the levels of attributes "realistic," but the thinking has changed somewhat since those days and raising attributes as the result of lots of varied, intensive training is accepted by many people these days.

That makes sense, but if you compare books, the attribute ratings are actually lower for the 4th Edition SEALs (SEALs in Vietnam) (IQ & DX of 13) than for the 3rd Edition SEALs (Spec Ops) (IQ & DX of 14).
What's the reason for the change?
