The writer is very good with word choice at every point in the book. Every possible second, the book never fails to remind you that the training you’re reading about is brutally difficult. (WS)

If had to predict how things wind up I would predict that at least 5 more people in the class fail before training is complete (p).

Something interesting I learned from this book is that staying in the water for hours on end for one straight week, also known as “drownproofing,” is one of the most beneficial experiences a Navy soldier can have in training (f)

Hen it is determined issue was a possible reason for failure, he was asked if he wanted to be scheduled for the next class beginning in a few months. He replied yes to this and ended up also so so becoming a Navy SEAL.

The marines run over 15 miles a day to earn the right to eat, along with brutal team training and obstacle courses among other things. How would you hold up during this ruthless marine training day in and day out?
