    My buddy from Texas was a "smurf" and he said the surf torture was one of the worst things he experienced. He said that he would have died before he got up. That is a lot of mental toughness that is hard to imagine.

    Back in the late 80's I went through a period of instruction that lasted months. We were asked multiple times over that timeframe 'What is the meaning of brotherhood?" Near the end of the cycle we were told that when men work together shoulder to shoulder there is no room for any to turn back. The weak derive strength from the strong, and the goal is accomplished by all. This is the true meaning of brotherhood. For whatever reason this was engrained into my mind during that time and I've never forgotten it. No idea where the quote originated. But definitely gets at the heart of esprit de corps for those that go through trying times and come out the other side together.

    Another great message from you TCAV.
    Very motivating video.
    I’m a French guy and I’m proud of that but if I would’ve been an American, I know that I would’ve love to join the U.S. Armed Forces (If I’m so sure about that it’s because I tried in the French Air Force, unfortunately a sight problem stopped my dream from coming true) especially the Navy just to be a SEAL. When you say BUD/s is not impossible, very very tough but not impossible, when you say "if the guy next to me can do it, I can do it", you probably don’t know how motivating is your message for those who want to try it.
    You’re a good guy T, don’t let anyone convince you that you’re not. Force et Honneur

    There is one essential component that needs to be stressed with this lesson: you linked arms.
    This key component will ultimately be the glue that forges you against all odds.
    However, when isolated, as many of us are, remember: the force that creates the power of momentum is just that- pressure.
    Onwards! The only easy day was yesterday.

Like a night mass tac combat jump at 1,000 feet w a machine gun strapped to your leg, or rucking up a mountain in kandahar. You gotta be there to get it: SALUTE!

    “The path of least resistance creates crooked rivers”
    Got a lot of time for ye Tcav but l disagree with this statement, l think it is a testament to rivers, part of their own journey to navigate around and through a variety of geology over thousands of years in order to get to the Ocean, kind of like freedom.
    In Ireland we say “There are many streams to the Ocean” in other words there are many ways to live but we all end up dying, we all reach the Ocean.
    You must be a navigator in this life, rivers can cut straight through rocks, move rocks along with them, be a bit boring if every river was straight.
    The old ones say, when you do things from your soul, you will eventually feel like a river, the great journey from the mind to the heart.
    Be a navigator Tcav.

      The statement does stand true, 🙌, but rivers only take the path of most resistance when no viable alternatives exist, rivers are intelligent.
      We even started our alphabet with the letter A which is a pyramid above the River Nile Delta, that’s the kind of symbolic etymology behind the letter A.
      You are one hell of a guy Tcav, with a firm handshake 🤝 Ed.

    Hey Good Morning Taylor. Well I can relate. As you know Marines doing indoc/rip school stays along side ya'll at Coronado during our first n third phase, and I was I a winter class. There's nothing colder than that Coronado surf in fricken January. I don't know what they do now, or what Marsoc/Raiders training cycle looks like, I left active duty in 95' they weren't spun up yet. We got wet regularly up on San Clemente Islamd as well, and I know you guys would be up there for your 3rd Phase.
    There's probably not much in the world more bleek, and hopeless than sitting in the surf at 0230 in January 🇺🇸SF
