"THE ONLY EASY DAY WAS YESTERDAY"
SEAL Motto
US Navy SEAL Training
The US Navy SEAL training course is one of the most arduous courses in the world. Success rate is less than 30% with more than 70% dropout, failure to maintain academic standards, or physical breakdown rate. No other course demands as much of men. No other service demands as much of men.
SE = SEA A = AIR L = LAND
On SEA, in the AIR, or on LAND the SEALs are the BEST!
