DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW ANY INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED PRIVILEGED OR WOULD IN ANY WAY JEOPARDIZE THE SECRETIVE DYNAMICS THAT MAKE UP A SEAL TEAM. I simply want to know about "personal time" during the training phases prior to becoming a SEAL. No information provided to me will be published in any way, it will solely be used for the purposes of aiding me in setting the scene for this book (and others to come).

Hello all! I am in the final editing stages of True Love's Secret! Though this book is entirely fictional, I want to be as accurate as possible when it comes to certain circumstances surrounding Navy SEALs' training, so I am reaching out to the public for any retired or active duty Navy SEALs (or even the gentlemen who have gone through the training and discovered it wasn't the career path they wanted to continue down). Even if some of their brave girlfriends/wives want to throw in some information about life as the girlfriend/wife/fiance of a Navy SEAL in training, I would love to hear from you as well!
During the process of writing this book, I have done very thorough research on the extensive training these courageous men go through to become SEALs, but I cannot find anything that would lead me in the direction of their lives outside of training. Clearly the training is very extensive and I'm sure leaves very little down time, but I'm curious of the following:What does a typical day of training look like? How long does it last? Do you have any "down time" during the training phases? I couldn't even begin to imagine the exhaustion you must feel by the end of the day but if you were up to it, would the possibility for a date every now and then arise during the first few phases of training (assuming your woman is in the same area near you)? A man's gotta eat dinner sometime, right? What does it feel like to complete such intense training and actually become a SEAL?Does Hell Week come out of nowhere or is it scheduled and you know when it will occur? (I have seen articles that suggest both) Have any of you maintained relationships before, during and after the training process? If so, how difficult was that relationship to maintain? Or, how easy was it? What did you do to hold the relationship together? And what was your significant others' reaction to your training to become a SEAL?  To the women who may respond:Tell me exactly what went through your mind when your man told you his plans to become a SEAL, what kept you sane during his training and how do you manage to continue the relationship now that he has accomplished his goals? - I would imagine those of you who have stood by your men are extremely proud among many other emotions that come with the territory.  Did you do anything in particular to keep your men motivated and confident?I appreciate any information regarding the above that anyone is willing to divulge. Please feel free to email your responses to me at the following link: Contact KD Hanes
I would also like to say thank you to each Navy SEAL as well as all other Military Men and Women for all that you have done and continue to do four our country. Thank You.
