I was engaged to a marine, who as we all know have egos that are HUGE beyond any measure, but he said that the 'seals' were a cut above and more that they were a group to deserve the respect they demanded. I think that even getting into the beginning phase is a very huge accomplishment. Not sure all the torture tactis are necessary, toughness is built in many ways not necessarily by pain and discomfort.

You're a good sibling for trying to understand.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, I found that everything good sprang from my own failure, but it's still very hard to swallow. I'm 43 now and I still, from time to time, day dream about trying to get back there somehow.<BR/><BR/>On the positive side, perhaps you can remind your brother that many guys who eventually made it into the Teams went through BUD/S multiple times.<BR/><BR/>I know a guy personally who quit Hell Week twice, but made it on his third try and just got back from his third tour in Iraq.<BR/><BR/>In any event, thanks so much for the kind words.Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06691766827578927691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179595007554980645.post-60137789305606737912009-02-16T19:08:00.000-08:002009-02-16T19:08:00.000-08:00My brother just DORed from Hell Week in a similar ...My brother just DORed from Hell Week in a similar fashion. I googled "The Steel Pier" when he didn't seem to want to talk and found your blog. Speaking as a civilian your writing gives good insight into what you guys experience. I would assume that it resonates with those who have actually lived it...Feeling Minnesotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08911822591282259448noreply@blogger.com
