Summary: HOOYAH, Dick Couch
Review: Dick Couch gives a great in depth perspective into BUD/S Training. he goes over all of the phases of BUD/S in this book. And I mean the 28 weeks of BUD/S, not the 6-month training after you graduate from BUD/S. Every phase is tough and everyone is nervous, some so nervous they dropped out even before the Indoc phase started. The instructors are nice, and understanding but firm when they have to be. The give the SEALs to be advice to follow to make BUD/S easier (not much easier though). Like when you swim in the pool stay near the bottom, this way you can hold your breath longer, and which ever boat crew wins the IBS race dosn't have to "push'em out" with the other teams, this teaches the SEALs that it pays to be a winner. It also gave me some perspectives that are hard to come by, if you make fun of a guy for quiting BUD/S they drill instructors make you pay, big time. I recomend this book for anyone who wants to join the Navy's elite SEAL teams, or anyone who is interested in SOF stuff at all. After reading this I now have more respect for the SEALs than I ever had before.

Summary: Great indepth look at SEALs and BUD/S training
Review: This is a great book. Gave it four stars rather than five because I really wanted more... the last chapter, which is a rather brief look at the candidates' advanced training after BUD/S leaves the book feeling a bit incomplete. Would love to see another book detailing the advanced training, and perhaps some details on non-classified deployments.

Summary: Warrior Motivation
Review: I picked up this book to find out what drives the best to complete the worst in military training. I think reading through this a couple of times will help any prospective Marine or good soldier get some perspective. Whatever training one has to endure is surely made easier when you keep this crucible in mind.It's an easy and inspiring read.

Summary: The BEST book on BUD/S!
Review: By following Class 228 through Indoc and all three phases this book is a remarkably thorough account of BUD/S training. Very nicely written with a straight forward style and no pretenses. If you are thinking about/planning on attending BUD/S you would be doing yourself a great disservice by not reading this book! You should know what you will be up against and this book is the holy grail of BUD/S accounts. It is a must read and a great gut check. Highly recommended. Hooyah!

Summary: It's time to get cold, wet and sandy!
Review: Dick Couch paints such a vivid picture in "The Warrior Elite" that my teeth chattered and muscles ached as I read the punishing account of Seal Class 228's training. A must read for anyone contemplating a career in the Seal Teams or for anyone who wants to experience Seal training sans the bruises, cold and sleepless nights.

Summary: Awesome and Detailed
Review: I have read a good deal of material on Special Ops and this is definately a keeper. A very detailed account of a BUD/S class experience. The best out there.

Summary: Good Book
Review: This is a good book that could have been alot better. The author does a good job describing the 6 month SEAL training program and the daily evolutions that comprise it. What's missing, though, is any sort of character development of the trainees themselves. The physical travails that these guys endure is well told but their emotional journey is left to the readers' imagination.

Summary: tough to be elite
Review: This was one of the best non-fiction books that I've ever read. I am thinking about joining the seals someday and this book got me thinking even more. This is a must have for any special-op enthusiast.
