Hell Week has officially been secured!!!

He would never boast of his achievements (as it should be), but he's in the last hours of Hell Week in BUD/s. Looks like he'll make it through First Phase of becoming a SEAL!!!

Super proud of him for not quitting and making it this far.

quote:

BUD/S is a 6-month SEAL training course held at the Naval Special Warfare Training Center in Coronado, CA. You’ll start with five weeks Indoctrination and Pre-Training as part of a Navy SEAL Class, then go through the Three Phases of BUD/S.

First Phase is the toughest. It consists of 8 weeks of Basic Conditioning that peaks with a grueling segment called “Hell Week” at the midway point, where you’ll be tested to your limits.

Hell Week is a test of physical endurance, mental tenacity and true teamwork where 2/3 or more of your class may call it quits or “ring the bell.” Physical discomfort and pain will cause many to decide it isn’t worth it. The miserable wet-cold approaching hypothermia will make others quit. Sheer fatigue and sleep deprivation will cause every candidate to question his core values, motivations, limits, and everything he’s made of and stands for. Those who grit it out to the finish will hear their Instructors yell the longed-for words, “Hell Week is secured!”

There will be an exceptional few with burning desire who persevere when their bodies are screaming to quit, yet continue on. These men experience a tremendous sense of pride, achievement, brotherhood and a new self-awareness that, “I can do anything!!” The most outstanding among them — that man whose sheer force of example inspires his classmates to keep going when they’re ready to quit – is the “Honor Man” of the Class.

I was hesitant to post anything, not so much out of fear of jinxing him, but more so because it's not something he would want broadcasted. That said he'll never read this and I am just too damn proud of him not to share it.

Based on conversations with him, his background and leadership skills, I never doubted that he would make it. Too actually do it though is amazing to me.
