i know im doin my best in studies & my fitness trust me im serious bout this goal too serious. I'm learnin some tactics from my uncle who's in SEALS right now. Got a swimming class too at my school so it helps me alot.

your correct, it is 90% mental. and the attrition rate is just over 80%, apprx 140 men class up day 1 at indoc and around 20-35 graduate, including med rollbacks.

SEAL standards are a bit higher than that. There is a 500 meter test, but you also have to pass WEEKLY mile-two mile open ocean swims. Obviously your heart rate goes up while your swimming put your missing the point here. If your a swimmer, your leg muscles are not used to pounding. When they start doing so much running, their legs break down with shin splints or stress fractures. Plus they are two completely different types of cardiovascular exercises. You need to train in both areas.

an average around 100 very fitted people sign up but only around 10 make it. its not so much about psycical its a mental thing. so u better in the best shape of your life

dude when you swim your heart rate goes even up then running and ofcourse i forgot to say running because in Marines and Seals there is a 5km Fit test Every year if you fail you go home, there is a i think think 500 meter swiming test you fail you are off the Force thats what my buddy told me and he is a marine..!!

"Overwhelming Force" that doesn't include howitzers, mortars, LGM's, RPG's, or even hand grenades? What the hell is the target supposed to be, a daycare? I'm doubtful it was a good tactic, but it sure as hell won't be after this is broadcast.

you are very wrong. you dont swim any more than you run or PT, most swimmers dont even do well in BUD/S because the second they start running high milage they break down with shin splints. although you do need to be extremely comfortable in the water for drown-proofing and pool comp. bud/s is 10% phyiscal and 90% mental, all that truly matters is if you can handle it when your body is hypothermic, deprived of sleep, and chafed to the point of infection. how bad u want it? ull answer that urself.
