That reminds me of Patrick Henry's speech when he spoke of the battle going not to the strong, but to the vigilant, the active, and the brave. I caught the last acronym but the first two UDT-14, BUD/S I'm unfamiliar with. The second is basic traning of some sort?

Is BUD/S pre navy seal training I believe I mentioned earlier on this thread some ROTC buddies not making it through BUD/S.

BUD/S Basic Underwater Demolition/Seal - This is the training program that all members of underwater demolition and seal teams undergo. UDT-14 is Underwater Demolition Team 14 (It was redesignated as SEAL TEAM 5). The UDT teams were the foundation of the Navy Seal TEAMS. All members of Seal Teams went through BUD/S and some individuals were assigned at different times to both Seal and UDT units.

The person I was reffering to I served with in UDT fourteen.
