Tom...questions about BUD/S

Posted by The Usual Suspects on 10/3/2005, 13:35:15

So can you tell we watched the BUD/S thing on the Military Channel?

What kind of time frame do you have to prepare before BUD/S from when you first get word you are accepted?

Granted we know you’re supposed to be in shape, but how hard and how long did YOU work to get in shape before going? And what specifically did you do?

And then still on that thinking, why would someone who knows they are a weak swimmer, try to go through BUD/S? Now before you yell...not saying that they shouldn't try BUT don't they know that if they fail swimming they fail BUD/s?

Thanks!
