He said the books the SEALS are writing are so poorly written that he’s going to start requiring Advanced Writing Classes (AWC) for all SEALS right after BUDS training. You get through BUDS and you’re going to have to pass AWC.

They should have learned to write before they even got out of high school. I used to teach junior-level college students. Writing case studies was an important part of the class. I was appalled to find they couldn't write, even at the junior level. Not only should they have learned to write before they entered my class, they should have learned to write before they left high school.

Snort. Most of my interactions with SEALS over the years were when sharing information. Almost every one had superb writing skills, very advanced vocabularies and were highly intelligent.

Compare that to several fairly high ranking officers I dealt with that - were frauds. One Navy Commander couldn’t write at a fourth grade level.

It was a joke because of the books some SEALS have written. They can write and I didn’t think anyone take it the wrong way.
