      Truly shape and fashion these;
      Leave no yawning gaps between;
      Think not, because no man sees,
      Such things will remain unseen.
      In the elder days of Art,
      Builders wrought with greatest care
      Each minute and unseen part;
      For the gods see everywhere.

    I enjoyed your sea stories. I graduated Class 99 (Oct '78). I was a 32 yo Ensign so I was an old guy to my classmates. I laughed my ass off at your completely accurate description of the San Clemente cactus. During the FTX (Final Training eXercise), my squad was moving down a gully near Wilson's Cove. I stumbled and fell full stretch into one of those cactus patches. My guys pulled me out and we finished the op and the 7-mile patrol back to camp. My squadmates then had a fun time pulling over 500 cactus spines out of me. I had completely forgotten about that until your 3rd phase story. Hooyah 99. But the way, I served with Al Huey in UDT 11. He was a Senior Chief at was about to retire with 38 years of service. A real legend.

    So proud that my country has such brave, strong men. I mean mentally tough also. My nephew tried for Navy Seals but there was something wrong with his hips and he couldn’t do it. He was in every sport there is since he was about 6 years old, but came from a rich family and never had to face any hardship. From your videos I can see why he would struggle. I am 56 year old female but you are inspiring me to find ways to work mental and physical toughness training into my life. Thanks to all our military out there, vets and still serving.

    I enjoyed these videos on BUDS so much. I was a Marine and went through PI in 87. I’ve wished over the years that I’d gone the Navy route and tried the SEAL thing at some point. It’s something I’d love to know if I had what it took. Oh well, maybe another life. I do hate the frigging cold and for me, that sounds like the worst. I respect all you guys for being able to push yourselves through all that stuff. I could listen to your stories all day. Thanks for sharing it with us as well as your service in the world’s toughest military training.

    Inflatable Boat, Small training. I was coxswain. I had my hands on the motor, my M-16, a PRC-25 on the deck. We went broadside coming through the surf and capsized. I held onto the motor and my rifle. Lost the radio. I spent 8 hours in the surf looking for the radio. This was on Coronado. I enjoyed the Rock but I wasn’t in BUD/S. Regular Navy Remote Sensor Team. I learned a distaste for cactus.

The most difficult school for me was NBC/ Chemical Warfare only because of the academic portions, no physical stuff, you just had to be a somewhat intelligent. I went to the NATO/Warsaw Pact weapons school while out Troop occupied our border camp in Weiden, West Germany but I loved participating in that school. They didn't hold a shoe string compared to the brutality y'all suffered!

I always tell people that do not know, BUD/S is just the basics and begining, You still have airborne school and SQT, then you have to get to the unit and then the real training begins. Its like basic training for the US Army, Your not a real soldier just because you complete basic training, You still have Advance individual training, possibly airborne school. then you get to the unit to start doing your real job. Training never stops. Great Video.

    You should be proud of yourself. Thank you for your service. The sacrifices you and your teammates made to complete BUDS, join a Team, complete your specialty classes, train for war, and then go to war and bring it are the reason America is free and protected from the booger-eaters, and those wishing to do our country harm! I thank God everyday for my wife and I and our family for men like you, keeping us safe, fighting for our freedom, and sacrificing everything your mind and body could give. Chadd, no matter what you go through in life and the PTSD and loneliness you may be going through, all you have to do is look in the mirror and smile at the image you see... For the rest of your life, I wish you peace, prosperity, and love in your life. You've earned it. Keep living for us. We need you. Men like you provide hope. I pray that The Almighty blesses you... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    Capt. Morgan was in the Hell Box 2/2010. I am not a seal or even in the navy but did visit the Island for a bit. You took me down memory lane. One of my guys did take Capt Morgans arm off by accident, don't worry it went right back on. The instructors gave us Arrogant Bastard Ale, not sure if that is what you had, i thought it was good. To any Seals that were there Feb 2010, i might have hit some of those golf balls.

    Thank you for your sacrifice and thank you for telling us your story. As I watched and listened to what you went through some of the few stories that my father had told me about becoming a marine raider during WWII came back to mind, some terrifyingly life changing for him and some quite humorous such as your run up the hill. My father was 17 when he went into the marines, I was wondering how young you were? Anyway no need to answer, enough said other than thank you for helping bring some memories back to me about my dad as they are fading. For him I say to you Semper Fidelis !

    You have to be so tough to make it through the training, by itself. It sounds miserable. I didn’t know you are not a seal yet after you finish Buds. Really enjoy your experiences.

    I had a Navy buddy from Wisconsin. He had never been in the Ocean when he first came to the ship. We took him to the North Shore of Oahu in December, when the surf is huge. After being turned away from 3 beaches by lifeguards, we found a beach for him to swim in. Being excited, he jumped out of the Jeep before we could stop him and ran right into the water.... he got caught in the "washing machine" of the surf and spent about 20 minutes, trapped, getting beaten sensless by the crashing waves. It was so bad that he ended up getting an audience of like 10 locals laughing their asses off at the stupid Haole.
