Most of it was fun. A little sore in the butt. We did add some cushioning to the seats shortly after.

I hear that the SWCC guys have to have some really good seats in their boats.[.

Yes, that would be true. Rugged was the prime criteria. But, considering going 200+ miles and the bouncing around on the ocean, we felt they needed something to cushion the ride. Back then I was pretty physically fit and my butt was sore for a week.

They say it is like going through car crash after car crash over and over again.

That's a pretty good analogy. It just depends on how rough the sea is. The prime criteria in the design was 50+ kts in 3 - 5 foot seas. We did a little over 60 in those conditions. On calm water we were clocked doing over 70 kts.

But you can find all kinds of books on SEAL guys. Missions, training, etc. The Lone Survivor for one, The Finishing School for another. Dick Couch has written a number books on the SEALS.

That probably because there's not a lot of glammer running the boats.

Sometimes it's nice being in the background supporting the front line troops. You'll learn that the logistical support you get will determine if you can have a successful mission.

I've been told to be real nice to the support guys. They can be a big help or a big pain.
