The origins of the Navy SEALs go back to World War II when the United States Navy saw that in order for its troops to successfully land on beaches it needed brave men to reconnoitre the landing beaches, take note of obstacles and defenses, and ultimately guide the landing forces in. As a result the Amphibious Scout and Raider School was established in 1942 by joint- Army and Navy at Fort Pierce, Florida. It was intended to train explosive ordnance disposal personnel and experienced combat swimmers from the Army and Marine Corps, becoming the Naval Combat Demolition Unit, or NCDU.

No – 80-90% of ALL potential BUD/s trainees drop out.
@l3lip doesnt matter, its not based on how many over all its based on that training unit
@iluvwesto
Yeah, because not as many try out…
Its been proven that static stretching = bad
OK well guess what, time ~ 0:31 —– its not the most challenging… USAF Special Operations Pararescue and Combat Controls drop out rate is btw 90%-95%
this guy was on fight science, crazy bastard
@moviedude
Thank you for agreeing mate.
@civicmike01
I do believe you are right sir!
You should never bounce when you stretch, no matter what, even if you take it easy its a bad idea. Its fact and any sports physio or decent military PTI will tell you that.

These camera angles in the beginning are hilarious.
That press press fling is a horrible and dangerous stretch. Can tear muscles like that.
Dont do them
they filmed this at fort hancock on sandyhook NJ, not to far away from my house. I wonder why they chose to film there?
