The only easy day was yesterday... The United States Navy's Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training is some of the toughest military training in the world. In this behind-the-scenes account, readers join New York Times bestselling author Stephen Templin in his journey as a trainee in Class 144. Templin and his classmates endure Hell Week: five-and-a-half days of swimming, hallucinating, enduring frequent hypothermia, running more than two hundred miles, and doing over twenty hours per day of extreme physical training-having slept only four hours total for the week. After Hell Week, they face more challenges. These experiences, Steve's insights into some of the psychology needed to overcome seemingly impossible challenges, teamwork, and an unexpected conclusion, make this a memorable adventure. PRAISE FOR STEPHEN TEMPLIN "As action packed as a Tom Clancy thriller . . . harrowing . . . adrenaline-laced." - New York Times "Reveals an intimate look at the rigorous training." - Time "Great to relive, remember, cringe, and laugh over so many of those memories.
