Inspiration...ex navy seals speech

I have the utmost respect for any one who can make it through the training. It takes dedication and toughness that is getting rarer and rarer in a world that seems to breed mediocrity. They truly live this: "The only easy day was yesterday"

It just starts with the training. The unit that was on my base did six hours of PT to start their day and then did whatever they were going to do. I would had out liberty cards and then bike to the beach most days. Often I would see those guys practicing getting in and out of their inflatable boats at high speed. This was after 5pm and they would still be at it when I left after sunset.

Awesome speech! SEALs are badasses plain and simple. Doesn't get anymore rugged then seals. And i agree it doesnt matter size. The small guys are badass and this also is seen in hunting and mountain climbing.

Still takes a whole lot of dedication to put in that kind of training. There is a reason for the high drop out rate. Just not a lot of guys willing to put out that much effort. Makes me just plain old laugh at my workout regime. : )

23 years ago I'm sitting in a room at San Diego's Balboa Naval Hospital waiting for my first appointment with the orthopedic surgeon for my knee. In walks this Commander in Navy White's and the only thing I see is his gold Trident on his chest. I'm thinking....."what the heck"? Well, he was a SEAL then went to medical school and became an orthopedic surgeon. Impressive to say the least. Heck of a surgeon and overall great guy. Three years later I'm in Monterey and I get a phone call. It's him. He says he has a medical conference up there and wants to get together and check out my knee. Seriously? WOW! Now that's service. Last time I saw him in 2002 or so he was a 2-star Admiral. Those guys just never quit.......at anything they do. I could use one of those guys as a hunting partner.
