BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training)

Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training is a rigorous military program designed to prepare candidates for becoming Navy SEALs. It focuses on physical fitness, mental toughness, and teamwork through demanding exercises, including swimming, running, and obstacle courses. The program also includes specialized training in underwater demolition and reconnaissance. BUD/S is notorious for its high attrition rate, as only a small percentage of participants complete the program. Successful graduates gain the skills and resilience necessary for special operations missions in diverse and challenging environments.
