This was a fabulous book! I've always heard how hard SEALS training is, but was shocked at the brutality. Every time an instructor gave another order, I'd feel almost sick about it, thinking these guys have had enough, but they just kept pushing harder and harder. I'm amazed that there are men who are willing to put themselves thru this nightmare, but realize that it's a huge challenge in their lives, and if they can make it thru this, they can make it thru anything!! I think anyone who is willing to train to be a SEAL deserves hugh respect, but you gotta be a little crazy, too. Thank you David Reid for giving me a first-hand look at how tough you guys are. (
