“We don’t have a firm definition of what constitutes a Navy SEAL,
however, I view the Navy SEAL as a unique individual; a guy who’s a little
bit out of the ordinary, who wants to do things that other people don’t want to do.
He’s physically oriented. He likes to run, workout, shoot, dive, and jump out
of airplanes. He likes challenges. A lot of these guys are pretty independent sorts,”
Smith confessed. “They’re hard chargers who want to go out there and operate.”
B.D. Smith, commanding officer of SEAL

“It’s easy to quit-you’ll be gone the same day because they don’t want to keep you around. It’s not like you were forced to do it.”
