Uhm, ,So what is so special here????? the age of 20??? My son graduated BUD/s at "just" 19. And...well, EVERY SEAL has a bio. Guess you want to meet them all.

well...yeah! haha
I was just starting off how the guy's bio started off. not implicating specifically that him starting at 20 is unique. Any SEAL story, IMO, is special. they do what 80%+ of the entire USA can't do. a little more because not all Americans tryout for BUD/S. f*cking beautiful! And I've read on your earlier posts that you have a son that graduate BUD/S at 19.

ADDED: I'll add as much clarity as I can about why I'm posting certain things and where I'm coming from in the future so save us some time.
80%+ of the entire USA can't do
More like 99.99999999%

lol he probably did mean that but hes definately right! 80%+ dont make it through BUD/S. I wonder if that is a motivator for anyone, to show the world you can do it and be good at it at the same time. I know it is for me!

You must be clear when posting. One canot interpret "intent" only what is said. I say again, as to what was posted, 99.99etc% and that figure continues to rise as kids continue getting fatter.

Statistically, is BUD/S harder or easier then it used to be? Like, do more people graduate nowadays then in the past?
