[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 491192, member: 8"] Go to You Tube and watch "two weeks in Hell" [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTVLKGsZCKc]YouTube - Two Weeks in Hell (Part 1 of 9)[/url] And then watch [IMG]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO_hyqbJWLM[/IMG] See if you think his shoulder will hold up. Watch the log drills! In part 1 look at the instructor-- he is just as skinny as I was. :D There is an extreme amount of psychological testing to include darkness, claustrophobia etc. Any mental phobia that would keep you from 100% efficiency is looked for, including a imprisonment/torture phase. The attrition rate is 60+%. Then you are in a infantry slot for the duration of your enlistment contract if you don't make it. Nothing wrong with infantry as I am as proud of that as any other dodad I have. Two benefits is that we are really good at staying alive in extremely dangerous situations and we know very well what grade of steel our spine is made from. As a father the first benefit is important to me. As an old geezer I wish the rest of me was made of 340 steel. :D Getting into dive school is dependent upon which ODA (A-team) you are assigned to and you cannot guarantee the you will be assigned to a dive ODA. My ODA was just plain Jane ordinary with no extraordinary training required. [/QUOTE]
