Perhaps you should mention some of the other entertainments that Navy UDT/Seal had in store for SERE trainees.

Sleep deprivation, no food for five days (unless you could find some whelks and seaweed off Coronado or some squaw potatoes and wild onions at Warner Springs), heat and cold (Warner Spring was high desert, in the 80s during the day, around 40 at night.), duck walking.....for hours, hands on punishment for any perceived infractions, hands on punishment for looking bored, hands on punishment...just for the hell of it, the hope of getting a sandwich, a drink and an apple for successful escape, hope denied, hands on punishment for escape. Then there was the promise that you'd have to repeat the course if you failed it the first time.
