Navy Seal experience. What can I expect when I become one.

This question is basically for a Seal or friend of a Seal.  I have looked up everything about training but I want to know exactly the life of a Seal once he is in.  Please don't respond if you're speculating or using what you've found on the internet.  I've already viewed it most likely

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

A good place to ask, would be at this address thru snail mail:

Commanding Officer
Naval Special Warfare Center
Coronado
San Diego, Calif. 92155-5036
ATTN: SEAL Recruiter

Some websites that may be useful are:

After almost 20 years as a Army Officer I can say that every time I have worked with SEAL teams their actions and support of our missions have been beyond our expectations, Good Luck at BUD/S.

Well, since there are probably not a LOT of Navy Seals on Mahalo Answers (yet). I will ask if you have seen the Discovery Channel special about Navy SEALs basic training. It showed on the channel under the title "Navy SEALs: BUDS Class 234." It is still on from time to time (I just watched it the other day) but you can obtain it from their store as well:

Navy SEALs Training DVD Set

But since this was about Navy SEAL life and not training, I will direct you to a book called "Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10" by Marcus Luttrell with Patrick Robinson.

Luttrell was the only survivor of Operation Redwing, the extraordinary firefight that led to the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history. It was on the best-selling list and is a very recent book that details Navy SEAL life.

Also, Dick Couch has several books about Navy SEAL life. I'm not sure how accurate they are, but you/your friend, might want to check them out.

Finally, the Untold Stories featured several Navy SEAL stories and they are also available on DVD

Sorry if this isn't exactly the answer you wanted, but I figure I would at least make you aware of those non-Internet sources.

I read Lone Survivor and yes I've seen the training of Class 234 extensively. As for the other books I will check them out. Thank you for your input and you will get best answer most likely.
