Also.

Marcus developed shin splints really bad in BUDS training and his twin brother Morgan actually swapped with him for a week or two to fill in for him.

The NAVY didn’t have a clue.

They found out at the very end of training and command actually was impressed, with his honesty and balls to pull it off, and let him graduate.

They now check to see if you have any twins before entering training.

True story! They did an interview about it.

Morgan said he had to run 6 miles on the beach and do other calisthenics that he wasn’t exactly prepared for.

He said some of the recruits knew he wasn’t Marcus and were cracking up the whole time, but none of the instructors caught on.

The seal brass found out about this later and Marcus had to have a meeting with the admiral, who actually thought it was hilarious.

The drill instructors knew Morgan was coming to BUDS and told him they’d be waiting for his arrival!
