What makes the US Navy SEALs selection course so special?
That is the course with the lowest admission rate.
What will the candidates encounter during the training period?
What are the qualifications for those who pass this tough selection?
The above questions affect the group, organization
Or is the status of being selected to become a SEAL a mysterious and intriguing one?
And I'm sure there are many more questions similar to the ones above.
In the hearts of all applicants who are selected to become
One of the world's top special operations groups.
But what if we ask from the perspective of a training and evaluation supervisor?
The one who sharpens a lump of iron, the one who refines a man into a top-notch special agent.
What do they look for in these trainees? 
- Team effort -
While the SEALs selection course may seem like a challenging one,and individual limitations
But what the trainers are looking for is a "personality that is socially responsible."
"In the circle of SEALs, there is one person who is brave, with immense strength,
Never got through hell week, only team play.
To help us get through hell week."
Former Navy SEAL Sean Haggerty said
"It's like sports, where military operations have something in common: teamwork.
It is the ability of a person to let go of his personal pride.
To understand the importance and success of the group.
It will certainly yield better results than running to the finish line alone."
Vincent Jackson, a leading American football player in the NFL.
Repeat what the trainer had told him.
The collective good is often overlooked in SEAL selection training.
In the selection training, the concept of a heroic hero is
There is almost no chance of passing this training obstacle.
Not to mention completing the mission if it can be done by just one man.
The level of pressure and difficulty of the missions that SEALs are assigned to
It is almost always necessary to rely on teammates who have different abilities.
The bonds and relationships of classmates from the beginning, knowing each other, sharing destiny
Overcoming all the hardships, pains, whatever the instructor provides and imposes on you.
And reaching that common goal is what makes the best special operations possible.
People who will embrace each other and overcome whatever they face.
This is what we look for in candidates.
- The power of a resolute mind -
In addition to being concerned with the greater good and having unity, another element that is a qualityThe key to being selected is “mental strength”.
"In the SEALs selection process, we don't have any physical potential testing criteria.
No matter how strong or fast you are - the only thing we expect is to never give up."
"The only thing we will allow him to come and be our brother is
Endurance does not ring the bell and surrenders.
Because of a period of life as a SEAL and the selection training
You will encounter unbearably cold weather.
The clothes and body were soaked and covered in dirt and sand, irritating the skin.
You are pressured to make you suffer disappointment and failure.
We just need people who can persevere through these things."
Admiral William McRaven speaks after an interview about the 2011 mission to kill bin Laden.
According to General McRaven, what every instructor expects and looks for is:
The trainer's "unyielding spirit"
It's a simple thing, but it's the heart of success in a military career.
SEAL recruitment training is designed to be extremely physically and mentally stressful.
And if they make it through, they will make it through the real battlefield and return home alive every time.
"In fact, strength is one of the qualities that can help you overcome obstacles.
But it's only part of it. You'll get to the point where you realize that social status, skin color, ethnicity
That doesn't matter anymore. The only thing to remember is
It's about not giving up, no matter what happens."
- Being a Navy SEAL
It means never thinking about giving up.
A person who has overcome indescribable hardships
Victor Frankl, who was a casualty of World War II
Having endured countless tortures, he toured four Nazi concentration camps.
It has been over 3 years and he is the author of the book "Man's Search for Meaning".
It was said briefly but with great meaning to the mind:
"If you cannot control or change the circumstances or environment that cause you suffering, know that you can become the thoughts and intentions in your mind.
- If one cannot change a situation that causes his suffering, he can still choose his attitude."
and
"A man who clings to the reason for his existence, that man cannot be brought down.
- He who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how"
Frankel's testimony further emphasizes the character and qualities of Navy SEALs. 
The aim of the selected students is to be decorated with the trident badge.
In the eyes of outsiders who may praise your prowess and excellence
Of the person wearing this pin
But for these pin-wearing brothers, just their eyes met
They can trust each other with their lives.
Because of all the training and obstacles they've been through together.
Press them to see that
Surrendering to physical and mental torture and walking away
That is easier than persevering and overcoming obstacles.
All of the above is very simple, but at the same time it is also a combination.
Personnel create love and unity and are "people who never give up".
