the BUD/S Training

BUD/S, or Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training, is a rigorous training program for candidates aiming to become Navy SEALs, elite special operations forces in the U.S. Navy. It includes intense physical conditioning, swimming, and obstacle courses, as well as survival tactics and teamwork exercises. The training lasts about six months and emphasizes mental resilience and teamwork. One of the most challenging aspects is "Hell Week," a grueling five-and-a-half-day segment with little sleep, designed to push candidates to their limits. Successfully completing BUD/S is essential for those who wish to serve as Navy SEALs.
