WNED WNED WNED zero is a good idea records George the status of like an old man taking back seat at a diner this particular day out of ten carried a rock forty five pounds of weight we've been training together for twelve months that's a pretty good experience we had ours under her belt he's forty five pound rocks we're to be carried for miles your deep sand
this scene there pounding on the shores of west coast California pumping up the spray in your face water was really degrees Fahrenheit coal at that time I am answering wasn't ready to well it was swell and my knee was swallowing my arms were trembling under the weight of this rock I had a moment where I honestly didn't think for the first time in my life I
can go any further that week was to head whatever it may be sealed structured parking orders at me he said it's easier to keep up the tax ups man let's go my team Sir to move out I held behind down on one knee it's rock the weight of it crushing two years before I sitting at elm cafe and that was it on the patio joining a
cappuccino a half hour of contemplation to myself they get a little a beautiful family a thriving business of give life was the sun was not please god don't work never received a phone call when everything will change your many of you have phone calls blankets you know it feels like my mother's voice primarily on the other line my sister had cancer I'm not a big hug
please use a young mother their daughter was only three or three years old at the time and so we all know that she would fight this we would help her fighting and we would win six months later I was at a cancer clinic with my sister she lost any pound through returns every member in this cancer clinic carrying her from room to room she weighed next
to nothing in my mind I thought I will carry for as long as it takes I will carry you for ever if I have to if we can think that this data tapes of carry a singular hospital bed a few months after that her hand in mine she said you're how can I let my little redhead taller grow up without her mother how can I possibly
she passed away I was left in the wake of grief as many of you have that in your lives I'm sure not sure what to do you much harder Waterhouse should I pick up a bottle should I just bury this thing and move on should I get lazy I think you're going conversation with mine sensitive twenty years a mentor friend even council we sat down I
said what should I do I feel like I'm left with such huge to spirit ways of crashing or Tom and he said fight hardship with hardship but it's a what do you mean by that he said fine something tough it requires a team people around you to accomplish go do that ill give you a sense of direction focus one thing led to another I chosen yeah
possible aventure with navy seals that require twelve months the training to prepare I recruited eighteen that we went down to the last you're two hours sometimes four hours a day of training in preparation for what would become what we would call our crucible we're pretty excited about this opportunity in that year was a good one for providing me with that direction well it's something to honor
my sister with every push up every birdie every single plot ideas I thought of the pain she had to endure and even my cleaning a little less so there we were after all this training standing in this incredible silly cold steel case matter market divine former seal team three commander own and operate this facility he allowed us to come and find out what it meant to
be as he said the real deal with these firstly days at this camp were part of torture part GI Joe part find weapons training hand to hand combat we do a lot of us training simulations long runs on the beach we don't want to find it was tough but we knew that the seals were preparing us for what would become our Christopher the crystal was modeled
after hell week for those of you that have watched any Hollywood navy seal movies you had a question just imagine now I need to to our minutes or two hour sessions on the beach writer three or fifty power logs which rocks on what's called the great rivers the cement concrete pad a training facility this will be an endless hour after hour regimen it was intended to
break ups and the idea was that when you meet your end the learning starts so there is is dead the beginning of what would become our crucible not sure what would happen to this hands on her back waiting in anticipation F. navy seal but we've never met before smaller men ripped shredded arms tattoos everywhere he started pacing back and forth I bollocks so the Canadians are
here find out what it was like he had navy seal I hear your top you don't look tough because I need you know I've made man and women waking tougher than you truck within the first four hours of my little senior if you don't navy seals do about Memorial Day Morrigan around the incident happened he said no we don't we celebrate the lives of the men
to be lost we're sisters or brothers we have a barbecue we toast then I lost it men the last twelve years but I'm not with it because I think bottling told to come out here and spend some time with that Canadians you want and need the seal experience oughtn't one biggest media you better not waste my time all that was the first time since I was
four years old the little trickle appearance it would begin for America there were three profound moments over the next thirty six hour journey now you know it animals with a four minute racist the only thing we have to recover Gary and state parks I swear to god if anyone here has a big burner helped you breakdown there were three profound things beginning in this experience the
first first happened when we were asked to go into the high plains which is essentially this position if the highest plank position the push up position many of you probably tried heard structure said Smith your team what's your Max hi quite it is a twenty five seconds we definitely so pick a number between twenty nine thirty he did related items like position at minutes six thirty
says after about twenty two hours of reading we gotta get it out I looked over my body Bennett eserver shake it like this zeal struck a plea bargain added start shaking Bennett it'll help at minutes seven he said okay we are gonna cheer together the following easy David we've got this Julia we started sharing this chap together I want you to find a life feel what
it felt like for an experiment where it's here this together camera free for four different rounds restate easy day we've got this Julia live steer clear gloves at the citadel volume one you trees each leann each day yes you dare we heartless each day we who energy we all felt that we chance of that probably one thousand three hundred seven times then we looked out shaking
Apollo of the sweater we realize that we have made it thirty one we celebrated the celebrations were short lived nnova during one of the next evolution assassin who's after serve torture %HESITATION and then just before each wars we were asked to link errors and headed for the water was three o'clock in the morning and the night was long darkness it's not your friend on the beaches
with five navy seals and as a team you linked arms were asked back into you shares pounding waves in the search and later heads down on the sand and let the waves crash on top of this over and over and over again and still claim that we would be able to last at least twenty minutes his position every time we crashed on top of us three
cheap water you get a brief you can see you can escape his Santa was in places that I didn't even know I have legs arms I started in on this self talk of hitting thought to myself why did I do this leann I am idiots that's horrible I can't do this anymore soul coal I was actually sharing it so badly that one of the %HESITATION instructors
say that's not shivering of Jack Henry Jack hammering live it was it was the so called post Craig that might my body next to you would be in the water and then I had a moment when my structure said if you're focused on yourself right now you'll last another minute your job it's very the man next to you his job you get out of here had
voice profound as soon as I started focusing on one gathering to my right swindlers announced was to protect I ask how you deal with everything we got assistance hold on hold on because inevitably and it changed yeah listen with rocks is called the will to live our instructor who said he the reason this evolution it's called the will of the latest because if you don't think
this is the life or death you'll make it through the first month within ten miles of hiking and what we see sweat on your faces we're clean water we see is that stares in the valley critical test over the stairs to see if big from a standpoint of you enter rocks well by this time we were delusional but this time we were thinking product over fate
nnova Gatorade as it was pouring out of our course we look like it Potton asks then take their hair one of our teammates had a smoking casually and blood all over it with blood all over your shoulder securing its loss we were disaster Smith do you need air to keep plugging jacks up there was a Moroccan wouldn't be my hallucination was that I was carrying my
sister but this time I can carry weight he sat keep going further I thought I'd be stuck there forever also one of my teammates came up behind me this hammer back months with god this dude medic unit circle back you put their hands on my back if their hands on each other and we carried Iraq's spinach nine miles not one step did I not have some
of the end on my back my challenge for you it's not seek out happy moments see god tough moments hardship crisis yes is where we learned when we need our end the learning begins the transformation pockets okay or whatever challenges it doesn't matter if it's a moment's silence for three days doesn't matter if it's a marathon is nervous trade needy seals flying your town go do
