I've been led to believe it's on par with that of special forces, including the US Navy SEALs (minus the hand-to-hand and small arms stuff of course), so it's probably no surprise then that he did some training with them. My wife's cousin is a bubble head too. Those guys can get a little nuts.

That was in '98 off Peggy's Cove, not far from Halifax. I know a few guys who pulled the bodies out, and yes it was pretty grotesque. I helped to set up one of the makeshift morgues. That was a helluva crash.Hunter368 said:Not sure what year it was but I am sure you will know NS when that airliner went down off the east coast of Canada. He was one of the guys diving down to the plane and pulling bodies out of the ocean. He said it was pretty sick sight to see, many dead.
What weird is that making the cut into Spec War Operations usually has nothing to do with ur size, but with ur willpower, self-motivation and ability to ignore pain....One thing that suprised me was when he told me that the majority of the special forces people weren't the large muscular types, often they were smaller and lean.

I worked with guys that were 5'5" 160 lbs and 6'5" 225 lbs.... There was no common size... There were 3 big guys like myself in my BUD/s class, 2 of us made it through...
