“If you’re not the kind of guy who can do everything perfectly right, have everything go catastrophically wrong, and come back fighting the next day, you’re not ready for this job.” – former Navy SEAL Commander Rorke Denver

If you’ve read my posts on Navy SEAL training, you know it’s insanely hard. Trainees will do thousands of pushups and pullups. They’ll run and swim hundreds of miles. They’ll carry boats and logs overhead until their bodies give out. They’ll do underwater work with instructors fighting them and sabotaging their air supply. They’ll tread water water for hours. They spend their entire training cold and wet, sometimes to the point that their muscles spasm from shivering. And they’ll go without sleep for days at a time.
