(합참 3.15) 미 해군 특수부대 SEAL
(군사) 미 해군 특수부대
And Special Forces. An unprecedented look inside one of the toughest military units on earth and who’s specifically they’re looking for. Nightly News begins now. This is NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams reporting tonight from Washington. Watching us tonight. Strap 가죽끈으로 잡아 매다 yourselves and you’re about to see what is generally considered the toughest military training anywhere on the planet especially if you ask US Navy Seal. It’s so brutal 혹독한 무지막지한. Their dropout rate is 75%. Our own Chris Jansing asked for and received unprecedented 전례가 없는 access to the training process for these silent warriors to find out what we can learn from it, who they’re looking for, and just how bad it gets on route to finding that 25% who make it.
Navy Seal training, Kodiak, Alaska, air temperature 20, water temperature numbing 마비시키는. And the Seals are in it up to their necks. Months of lifting 200 pound logs 통나무, pulling 300 pound rafts보트, all just to get to hell week 신입생을 골리는 1주일, 135 hours around the clock torment 고통. For years, fewer than 1 in 4 could make it through.
Now with Seal’s highly specialized skills in demand and under orders to increase their numbers by next year, the Navy has a sweeping plan to reduce the dropout rate. For the first time, civilian coaches are working with prospective Seals at a 3-month training camp in Illinois. Up next, Coronado, California where instructors will break anyone with a weak mind.
These candidates have already gone an early morning cold water swim, got dry, now they’re getting wet again. It’s called “diversity training”, man, this water is cold. They want to see how far they can push them physically and still haven’t performed at a high level mentally. Who can handle it? Athletes, yes. But the elite football and basketball players aren’t best. The Navy is studying the science of mental toughness. And its swimmers and wrestlers, water polo수구 and lacrosse players, most likely to have it.
To reach those guys who typically would never consider a military career, the famously secretive Seals are coming out from the shadows, talking openly in recruiting videos, allowing a production company to film intense training missions for an upcoming movie, and wearing the Seal emblem 기장 when they compete in extreme sports. Early results from the new programs are promising. Graduation rates are up 15%. And these Special Operation Forces have to do it all, jumping out of planes, defusing underwater bombs, hand-to-hand combat and a little swim in Alaskan waters.
