[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 346392, member: 8"] Len, Montanarifleman pretty much summed it up What the cadre are watching for is the last word, "overcome". They tell you up front the only way out is to "quit". Foot stress fractures are very common and one guy managed to stress fracture both. The guy has casts on both feet and will recycle back through and try again when he is medically fit. Medical is the only way you get to try again. On Day 7, Phil's right foot went into a stump hole in the dark and a bone fractured. He made it through the last three days on that foot. He said the pain at night was so intense he could not sleep and it would take half an hour in the morning before everything would start working well enough to keep on going. Fortunately the intense physical part and passing the PT test was behind him. Humorously enough, these guys actually have to pass a second more stringent IQ test in order to be selected. :D While the videos are of special forces it really applies to everyone from the sniper to the medic to the RTO. I will often poke fun at the Marines, but they also pretty much get through things with just that one thought "overcome". [/QUOTE]
