NAVY SEAL
By: Sam McLaughlin
A Navy Seal is trained in underwater demolition and can operate from land, air, and sea. To become a Navy Seal you have to go through a 6 month training course called B.U.D.S.. While there, you can run up to 175 miles and swim 20 miles. The first phase of training takes 7 weeks. In this phase, you learn to work as a team with your comrades. In the middle of the phase you go through ‘HELL WEEK.’ ‘HELL WEEK’ starts at midnight Sunday and ends midnight Saturday. During this week Seals are permitted 8 hours of sleep and many times sleep in 15 minute intervals. The instructors make you carry logs over your head and run 10 miles plus many more difficult things. On the final day, Seals are expected to crawl through a land mine field.
