NAVY SEALS......ADVICE WANTED.....

[nativelover]

lifes gunna be rough for awhile.

serious, it is 90% mental and 10% physical buts its 10X's harder than anything you've done before. 8 days in the field with 2-4 hours of sleep a day gets to you.

enjoy long hot showers, 8 hours of sleep, laundry washer and dryers, food and bathrooms whenever you need them cause for the next 5 months to a year your not going to have that...

Not much you can do to prepare for a training program designed to weed out nothing but the strongest of candidates.

Make sure you're maxing your PT tests, eating right, and doing a lot of extra PT every day to prepare for it.

If you've never been out on field training - then get ready for misery hygiene wise.

Don't push yourself into the point of injury is the only real advice I can give. Accomplishing your goals is all good and fine - but getting a disability on the side isn't worth it. (I broke my hip pushing too hard in RIP).

Thanks for the advice everyone and yea a week ago I had actually trained to hard and pulled a tendon on my bicep and it swoll up pretty bad. So I let that heal up and im training smarter now. I was told to increase ur speed in the water train swimming in current but I dont know any way of doing that this time of year...all the indoor pools have no current.

Good Luck bro! Im Army and been through some hellish training... however even the guys I train with said some horrible things about Seals training. 1 thing I will have you be prepared for is to be purposely drowned... You will black out... you will be fine though.
