Gratulations. But out of curiousity. How do you get along with the authority there? When i was serving my 9 month here at the Bundeswehr - i´m sure that´s nothing in comparison what you do ^^ - i always had trouble with my superiors, i even was nearly two weeks in jail for beeing undisciplined. Well, since i know German superiors are much softer than their US counterparts - we trained next to some US Rangers who trained for Afghanistan and i never would have liked to swap - how do you get along with them? Must be really hard.
United States Navy SEAL In times of war or uncertainty there is a special breed of warrior ready to answer our Nations call. A common man with uncommon desire to succeed. Forged by adversity, he stands alongside Americas finest special operations forces to serve his country, the American people, and protect their way of life. I am that man. My Trident is a symbol of honor and heritage. Bestowed upon me by the heroes that have gone before, it embodies the trust of those I have sworn to protect. By wearing the Trident I accept the responsibility of my chosen profession and way of life. It is a privilege that I must earn every day. My loyalty to Country and Team is beyond reproach. I humbly serve as a guardian to my fellow Americans always ready to defend those who are unable to defend themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work, nor seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession, placing the welfare and security of others before my own. I serve with honor on and off the battlefield. The ability to control my emotions and my actions, regardless of circumstance, sets me apart from other men.Uncompromising integrity is my standard. My character and honor are steadfast. My word is my bond. We expect to lead and be led. In the absence of orders I will take charge, lead my teammates and accomplish the mission. I lead by example in all situations. I will never quit. I persevere and thrive on adversity. My Nation expects me to be physically harder and mentally stronger than my enemies. If knocked down, I will get back up, every time. I will draw on every remaining ounce of strength to protect my teammates and to accomplish our mission. I am never out of the fight. We demand discipline. We expect innovation. The lives of my teammates and the success of our mission depend on me - my technical skill, tactical proficiency, and attention to detail. My training is never complete. We train for war and fight to win. I stand ready to bring the full spectrum of combat power to bear in order to achieve my mission and the goals established by my country. The execution of my duties will be swift and violent when required yet guided by the very principles that I serve to defend. Brave men have fought and died building the proud tradition and feared reputation that I am bound to uphold. In the worst of conditions, the legacy of my teammates steadies my resolve and silently guides my every deed. I will not fail. This content is protected .......................

Good Question, Im in the delated entry program right now I have not left yet, but when I do I will gladly let you know. The seal training program I have been doing in my state, the drill instructors master chiefs are pretty hard. Although I respect them alot and know they bring out the best of me, they defintley have almost broke me a couple times. I better get used to it since it will be far worse at Buds. I just gotta block it out, not let it get to me. Soon I am going to start practicing underwater and cold water resistence training. About Buds, Yes it is going to be Hell. only 20% make it through, odds arnt in my favor. All I can say is I am going to give it 100% effort mentally and physically while im there, and push myself beyond my limits and well see what happens. Its a rough road ahead.
