Given the job/missions they will be tasked with. Serious extreme Physical & Psycho testing is a must.

Does anyone think the "voluneers" for ST or the SFOD-D Q-course, DON'T already know that the qualifications and testing are all extremely Nut Bursting serious?

#3 No officer would want to be accused of making it easier (except maybe for women) and just keeping it the same is not putting his / her own imprimatur on the command.

So, of course, the answer is to make it more dangerous than it needs to be.

#7 ...Fastest way around part of this is to do IMMEDIATE UA on everybody who's made it through Hell Week. Once a few guys not only lose everything they've worked for, but get thrown out, that crap will stop PDQ.

SEAL training is a legendary nightmare, because it HAS to be. That said, these guys ain't saints.
