Have You Ever Been A Tadpole?

August 2, 2013
Mark Divine No Comments NSWC

Have you been to BUD/S?  Do you know someone who has been to the most difficult military training program in the world?  Are you currently in BUD/S?  We want to hear your story.

Not too long ago, a reader approached me about gathering some experiences from those of you who have been to Coronado for SEAL training and did not make it.  Your unique experience will provide valuable insight for those who may wish to enter the program.  Whether you left for personal reasons, were injured, performance dropped, or rang the bell, we want to listen to your story; absolutely no judgement here.  We would also be very interested in hearing where you went with your Naval career after leaving the BUD/S program.

If you would like to share your story with our readers, hit me up at [email protected].    Your story will be posted anonymously.
