no- he is a triathalon freak...i think the odds are (i swear) one in 2000 will make seal....the odds are much, much better for officers vs. enlisted...anybody care to speculate on why?...

I don't remember the exact %'s but something like 10% make it fast the initial tryouts to get into BUDS.

Then maybe 30% of those make it past BUDS without quiting or failing
Then maybe 50% of those make it past Finals

It is tough even if they wear Fem Uni's as Enlisted

Most of the failures are due to Mental strain and not being able to handle the pressure.
Not Physical failures. The physical issues are weeded out in stage one before they ever get to BUDS.

Officers typically are better able to restrain themselves in the heat, understand the team concept or at least fake like they do. Enlisted are younger kids that think they can do it all alone.
Doing things on your own won't fly at BUDS...

No I'm not an Ex SPEC, but as a Navy Brat and a Military fan, I have seen it, Read it or talked to those that have been there.

hey, go eat a dick, I didn't ask for the assignment. (it just happens I'm squared away and look good in uniform) I follow the orders of those appointed over me. I only have 3 months left anyway, and then I'll have my nose in the dirt again.

BTW, have you ever served? Just curious....

Yes, Sort of... I'm like FroRider...
7 years in the US Air Farce.... LoadMaster Asst.

Definitely not BUDS. More like being a long haul trucker.

You put your ass on the line for your country, doesn't matter if you were on the front lines or in the rear with the gear....I respect you for that. You should be proud.....

Yea I guess so.. thanks

A lot of people don't realize how dangerous it is hauling tons of crap in the air.

Stuff comes to you half ass packed on Pallets falling all over the place.
Vehicles that are supposed to be empty come with box's of stuff stashed in the back
You are trusted to ballance out the load and also make sure you don't overload the plane.

Imagine a C5 loaded with Tons of cargo, and suddenly a 4,000 pound Item shifts 6 inches to the right in the bay...
You had bettter have a Pilot that is good and quick to recover.
