Surviving SEAL Training: A Brief Guide to Surviving Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Training

by Steve Watkins

Lean and mean, this brief guide focuses on essential mental aspects you need to develop if you want to pass the BUD/S training course and become a member of the elite brotherhood of the Navy SEALs. BUD/S is the 26-week boot camp required to become a United States Navy SEAL, and it is notoriously grueling. If you can get through BUD/S, you can get through anything. You don't have to be an exceptional athlete to make it through SEAL training, however, and former combat decorated SEAL Steve Watkins shares simple, but brilliant insights into how you can trick and train your brain to survive BUD/S and become a Navy SEAL.
