What does it take to be a SEAL?
Here is the Navy's "warning order" for any applicant. It describes the training and offers a pre-BUDS training progran to get prepared.

1. I'm amazed that anyone
can actually get through BUDS and very impressed by those who do.

4. I read a book about a BUDS class...one of the guys went through "Hell Week" twice!
He got rolled back after "Hell Week", and went through the entire BUDS training, again!

Absolutely amazing!!

2. That would kill me.
I don't mean that figuratively either. If I attempted the tryout process outlined there, I'd end up dead. My body couldn't take that kind of abuse.

Hats off to those who can. Here's to hoping that I never piss one of them off :toast:
