Captain Bissett is the officer who recruited my son. The physical requirements that you must meet before he will recommend you for a slot at BUD/s are tougher than what the Navy requires. My son was not able to participate on-site as he was finishing up his Senior year at Princeton. My son knew before he went to OCS (Officer Candidate School) that he would be going to BUD/s upon receiving his commission -- would not have joined otherwise.
And, to brag a lot -- he was the Honorman (first in his class) of his BUD/s Class.
it ain't bragging if he did it. you just needed to have 6-7 more sons dang it..... and they need to have a bunch of young ones... God Bless him, I'm sure you worry about him.
My wife is living in fear, because our son loves the Marine Corp,can run forever, has a nasty habit of sticking up for the kids that are picked on.... and doesn't mind going to the deck with a bully.....
I think it's genetic, some dogs are poodles and some are German Shepards.... I'm more of a Pug..hahahahahaha
Hope your son has a long and successful career as a "meat eater". I've always respected the SEALs, they don't hand out anything that isn't earned.
