re: Does anyone have any BUDS stories?

Watch the BUDS Class 234 documentary. It’s 4 hours long and covers every single phase from Indoc through Phase 3. One thing that’s super common among students is SIPE (swimming induced pulmonary edema). Since the students are in cold water for prolonged periods of time, their blood pressure gets so high that the alveoli in their lungs rupture which causes internal bleeding.
