Two hours of sleep total. You stay awake by constantly moving.

Agreed. There's lots of good/hard training throughout the DoD (add Marine Raiders to this pointless discussion). I had the pleasure of serving with a lot of them at SOCOM. The vast majority are humble, great people who are a blast to work with.
Good and accurate statement.

couple of people I've met that went to BUDS wouldn't really talk about it. They would just acknowledge they went and did some training then change the subject.
You mean the same way everyone does who went to SERE?
You'll hear more about CAG selection than you will the details of someone's SERE expeinece.

Some would say Navy nuke school. To some people ten hours a day of academics is more grueling than ten hours a day of PT.
All that training to boil water.

On the opposite end, you have non-Ranger Qualified soldiers serving in Ranger regiments, it has become more rare especially now that they are used in more direct action than in the past but it does exist.
Most every new private (E-1 to Spec4) to Regiment/Battalion is going to be non-tabbed. This is the backbone of Regiment. Being an untabbed private in Ranger Regiment may be the most god awful position in the military. At least it used to be, can't say how it is now. When you finally get to, and pass, Ranger School it becomes easier, but not easy. You've graduated to adulthood and will soon be put in a leadership position. Untabbed Rangers have always been used in direct action during conflicts where the Regiment has deployed. Most teams consist of a Team Leader (tabbed E-5), SAW gunner (Usually tabbed Spec4), grenadier (untabbed private, and 1 or 2 riflemen (untabbed private). It's not uncommon to have a team with only 1 tabbed Ranger.

Me and some buds used to blow shite up back in college. We made a pipe bomb that destroyed an old 62 Chevy pickup. It looked like a tow missile hit it. One of the buds was an electrical engineer student at LSU and made the remote denator out of a cordless phone and radio shack parts.
