What does FOB stand for?
Also, is/was anyone on this site a SEAL? I know the chances are slim, but you never know. Does anyone know one personally?
Fob = Forward Operating Base.. I dont know any seals, but ive met tons ot Army Rangers, and Special Forces types.. Even a couple of Delta boys when i was in kuwait. The training is definitely not easy. if youre going to seriously pursue it, first off you have to make sure ur in amazing shape, make sure u can run like the wind and do pushups and situps for days. Also make sure u can read a map like its nothing and that youre not scared of heights. basically everyone told me the same thing, dring the training there will be days where you will absolutely just want to tap out but the ones that make it through are the ones that just plain refuse to quit.. i know it sounds simple but the crap they put you through in the training is quite unlike anything ull ever experience ever again.
