Sample Book Insights:
#1 The truth is, SEALs are not superheroes. They come from all walks of life and from all parts of the country. They are expected to be physically fit, mentally strong, psychologically resilient, smart, and ferociously devoted to the cause.
#2 I wanted to be a Navy SEAL when I was young. I couldn’t explain why, but I felt that joining the military would give me access to girls. I wasn’t particularly athletic or skilled in sports, so I didn’t have the background required to join the military.
#3 I grew up in a trailer park, and I never felt sorry for myself because I knew I had less than many other kids at school. I was a self-sufficient kid who knew how to work hard. I was proud that I didn’t ask my parents for things they couldn’t afford.
#4 Working for my father was not the best experience of my life, but I did not let it affect my performance on the job. I was terrified of heights, but I had to conquer a significant level of fear to do the job well.

#1

The truth is, SEALs are not superheroes. They come from all walks of life and from all parts of the country. They are expected to be physically fit, mentally strong, psychologically resilient, smart, and ferociously devoted to the cause.

#2

I wanted to be a Navy SEAL when I was young. I couldn’t explain why, but I felt that joining the military would give me access to girls. I wasn’t particularly athletic or skilled in sports, so I didn’t have the background required to join the military.

#3

I grew up in a trailer park, and I never felt sorry for myself because I knew I had less than many other kids at school. I was a self-sufficient kid who knew how to work hard. I was proud that I didn’t ask my parents for things they couldn’t afford.

#4

Working for my father was not the best experience of my life, but I did not let it affect my performance on the job. I was terrified of heights, but I had to conquer a significant level of fear to do the job well.

#5

I had decided that if I stuck around my little town, I would likely not amount to much. I had no interest in college, so my options were limited. I knew that if I enlisted in the Navy, I would become a SEAL.

#6

I enlisted in the navy, and after graduation, I went to basic training in Chicago. I was excited about starting a new life, but my plans went off course when an instructor noticed my intention to enter SEAL training.

#7

I wanted to be a SEAL, so I was told that if I wanted to go to BUD/S, I would have to attend submarine school. I was surprised to find out that submarine school was not preparation for BUD/S. It was a completely different school.

#8

I had signed up for submarine school, but if that meant I couldn’t be a SEAL, I wanted no part of it. I tried to explain this to the instructor, but he told me that I was stuck. I would go to A school to study information technology, and then on to submarine school.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

I had done my research on BUD/S, and I knew what to expect. However, I was mistaken about the boot camp portion of the training. It was mostly an exercise in boredom, and I got fat. I was nervous about whether or not I would be fit enough to pass the PST.

#2

The five exercises are completed consecutively, so it’s more like a pentathlon than a series of individual tests. The standards are minimum qualifying standards, and you must meet them to enter BUD/S.

#3

I was one of only a few men from my boot camp class who qualified for BUD/S. It took me more than one attempt. I was inspired by the older students who had survived the intense training so far and were close to graduating.

#4

BUD/S is a six-month training program that determines who wants to be a SEAL and who is prepared to be one. It is not uncommon for a candidate to graduate with a later class due to injury or illness, or failure to meet a standard in one of the required exercises.

#5

During Indoc, the class becomes immersed in the world of BUD/S. It is five weeks of intense physical training and conditioning, and mental strain, designed not only to prepare the class for the rigors of BUD/S, but to introduce the customs and traditions that are part and parcel of the entire experience.
