I've often heard of BUDS Navy Seal training that its not IF you break a bone or get hurt its WHEN. I agree it takes a certain personality.

I've heard people say similar things about SERE school (e.g. "they're allowed to break one of your bones"). It's not true.
Anyone who thinks you can go through BUDS/RASP/RIP/Q-Course/whatever injured and "fight through it" is a delusional fanboy. The reality is that it has very little to do with willpower and everything to do with your physical condition before the course and your genetic potential.

If you get hurt, you are out, and you are checking gates for 12 hours a day or go regular infantry. Yes, there are second chances, but that's another story.

all of your stuff for at least the last month has been shadowbanned. idk why.
It seemed to start after sctb said "We've banned this account for repeatedly breaking the guidelines and ignoring our requests to stop." 37 days ago.
Makes sense. I missed that when I was skimming through their history :c
Thanks for the heads up. I have no idea why either, but I appreciate knowing.
