The Making of US Navy SEALs
You have seen how the [Israel girls] protect their country, and the [Russian Troop]’s training. This is how the infamous US Navy SEAL was made. The Navy SEAL training pushes men to limit to prepare for ever-tougher missions.
The United States Navy Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) forces are the Special Operations Forces of the U.S. Navy, employed in unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, direct action, Counter-Terrorism, and special reconnaissance operations. In many countries, US Navy SEALS would be described as naval commandos. (Wikipedia: United States Navy SEALs)
Most of the pictures are selection from the book, “The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday, Making Navy SEALs“. This book is the most complete photographic essay ever done on the training of the Navy SEALs. BUD/S as it is known is a lengthy progression of physical and mental challenges that requires the utmost in dedication. This book captures that commitment and gives the reader a real insider look at what it takes to become a Navy SEAL

island is the type of class A fucktard that would have washed out at the 4.01 millisecond mark in BUD/s.

SEAL’s stand for “Sea, Air and Land.”
Pretty rigourous training, physical and mental. Full respect to all those who get through.
Same goes for other special forces around the world too.
