Hooyah! to proud americans

This book by far gives the best look at whats in store for future BUDs students. Like myself, if you are planning on entering BUDs, I strongly suggest you read this book. Not only will it give you a good look of whats ahead, it will also help prepare for your training. From cover to cover this book paints a clear picture of the steps it takes in becoming a Navy class="textlinks">SEAL. It brings alive there motto "the only easy day was yesturday." Hooyah!

wow

All aspiring class="textlinks">SEALS or just anybody that wants to get a feel for how tought it really is for thos going through BUD/S should read this book. I had some aspirations of this sort, and I found the book very inspirational.

HOOYAH, Dick Couch

Dick Couch gives a great in depth perspective into BUD/S Training. he goes over all of the phases of BUD/S in this book. And I mean the 28 weeks of BUD/S, not the 6-month training after you graduate from BUD/S. Every phase is tough and everyone is nervous, some so nervous they dropped out even before the Indoc phase started. The instructors are nice, and understanding but firm when they have to be. The give the class="textlinks">SEALs to be advice to follow to make BUD/S easier (not much easier though). Like when you swim in the pool stay near the bottom, this way you can hold your breath longer, and which ever boat crew wins the IBS race dosn't have to "push'em out" with the other teams, this teaches the SEALs that it pays to be a winner. It also gave me some perspectives that are hard to come by, if you make fun of a guy for quiting BUD/S they drill instructors make you pay, big time. I recomend this book for anyone who wants to join the Navy's elite SEAL teams, or anyone who is interested in SOF stuff at all. After reading this I now have more respect for the SEALs than I ever had before.

Mandatory reading!

An acquaintance that is an active duty class="textlinks">SEAL, upon learning that I was attempting to join the teams, strongly recommended that I read this book. Simply put that was some of the best advice I had received in quite some time. Having read the book, I see why. I strongly recommend anyone wishing to join read the book, it definitely will give you a reality check!

Stay alert, pay attention to detail

This chronicles an exhaustive review of modern day class="textlinks">SeAL development and training. So much so that I had to take a "medical" from how well Captain Couch depicted every evolution, to every swollen joint and sleep deprived hallucination, these men kept going to accomplish the mission. One cannot but be floored by the level of dedication and commitment of these young men, to endure the most "hellacious" test of the human spirit. To be the best our Warriors have to put up with the worst. These men do it without any modern day pronouncements of political correctness, lowered standards based on race or ethnicity, or ashamedly no such notion of "an Army of one." These men win together, are the best and the brightest, and I thank God they are Americans. I wouldn't want to be be on the other side knowing there might be a few SeALs on the loose.
