When you think of stressful or difficult military training, Navy BUD/S training comes to mind… BUD/S is the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training that some of our nation’s most elite special operators endure, and in talking to people who have gone through this training I’ve been told that–as difficult as it is–what makes it bearable for most is the coalescence as a team, and going through the training together. If you want to make it through stressful times, don’t go it alone. There is synergy in a group effort. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
