First I would like to say hello to everyone on the forum! I've been lurking around for awhile and reading all the great information the members offer. I've read many questions about the physical demaning part of SWCC training and gained a lot of knowledge from them. My questions is do any SWCC members recommend anything as far as intelligence wise of SWCC training, or did any members find any part of SWCC training difficult other than the physical demands?

The hardest part for most of the guys academically was probably communications. You can't really prepare for that. Just go in an work hard. The studies aren't really that hard. You will get more mental stuff when you graduate.
As for other than physical things. You will find that most of it is a mind game. The hardest part is getting your mind to decide that it will still work when tired. You see, the point of training is not to make you strong, but it is to make it so you can think when you are under stress. If you shut off your mind in stressful situations, you won't make it through SWCC.... well you may, but there is a saying:
If you are going to be dumb, you had better be strong.
Always think though you actions. Caveman logic is not what they are looking for. (Me SWCC. Me Bash!)

Hey man,
SWCC is way more than just physical. there is alot of metal stuff. i am about to class up in about a week. there is alot of metal stuff that you have to memorize, like boat commands and stuff. but dont forget about the physical stuff. its alot just be ready in all aspects.
