To: Kathy in Alaska

I had an “invitation” to attend SERE school in 1968 before heading to Asia. We arrived at North Island and the first thing I noticed was that the poor b**tards there could not stand; they had to be jogging in place even when at rest. They were working those legs virtually their entire time awake.

Those poor b**tards were UDT/trainees hoping to be selected to attempt to become SEALS. Only the select of the select of the select actually become SEALS - them are some bad dudes!

I have respect for all Spec. Forces guys, but incredible respect for SEALS.
