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 and SEAL Training Class 144 “Reveals an intimate look at the rigorous training.” -Nick Carbone, Time “Great to relive, remember, cringe, and laugh over so many of those memories. Steve does an exceptional job of bringing key aspects of BUD/S training to life in an eloquent, realistic, humorous, and thought-provoking manner. Whether you serve a day of your life in a military uniform or not, the lessons he conveys from his time in SEAL training are valuable, life-learning insights for all.” -Mark Beder, BUD/S Class 144 Leader, SEAL Assault Team Leader/Lieutenant Commander (Veteran) “When I read SEAL Training Class 144, I thought I was doing it again—oh, hell. It was like watching a movie—I remembered everything. I think readers will be hooked and love it. Good job, Fire Team Templin!” -José Duque, BUD/S Class 144 Honor Man, La Infanteria de Marina (Retired)

By Vadermedic As a former Naval Air crewman and Rescue Swimmer, I thoroughly enjoyed the personal accounts regarding Stephen Templin's training to become a Navy SEAL. His writing is to the point and gritty, helping the reader imagine, if possible, the rigors of BUDS training. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in Special Warfare as it will provide a realistic image of the mental fortitude and physical strength required to complete the training. I also suggest this to anyone like me, middle age, working hard to stay physically fit while balancing family and work, to help stay motivated and free of any pity party material.

Great read about BUDS and how to overcome any obstacle By Gregory Lynn I found it refreshing to read a first-hand account of what BUDS training was like for a young man. The book is organized in an interesting fashion with some very brief chapters, but I felt the structure matched the context of the story well. The chapters organize really as lessons. I had previously watched videos of the Navy SEALs in BUDS and found new information in this narrative along with reinforcement of other points. This is not a book about the military, this is about one individual's journey through what is the hardest screening mechanism on the planet. I think it's a must read for anyone who wants to know more about mental attitude, perception, teamwork and introspection. Well done.

By Kindle Customer Reality check ahead from food, obstacles, commanders, trainers, wet sand, eating bugs, tests to Congratulations Seal!Navy Seals are so intriguing. When you hear the words, you picture *cue music* big, strong, tough men, faces painted with black grease, bodies carrying survival and assorted weapons of defense, always on a mission at anytime, anywhere, any place. Whatever the assignment, it will be completed by the extraordinary ones. Our soldiers of the night. *end music*This book is an easy and interesting read. You may feel scared, laugh a lot and bugs and wet sand...there's a lot. Mean and nice people playing their parts to help keep the soldiers from hurting themselves. BUD/S Training.....wow!All of us know that all of these men go through years of extreme training to earn this right. They are the best of the best, brothers for life, no matter what. We are so busy putting them on a pedestal that they deserve, lest we forget that each member is also a person, just like you and I. We do not consider each of their personal struggles and sacrifices to get that designation. We don't think about them crying or suffering from loss, from individual pain. *enter Rambo*Stephen Templin gives us a truly personal view of what and how a soldier becomes a Navy Seal. To be frank, I never thought about the process as much as the result. There are some god awful times, sad times and times you will bust a gut. In a way, it reminds me of being in school, which I guess it is. After reading this book, I have even more respect for Navy Seals for the fight they face on a personal level, for their pain, for their bruises, for their extreme sacrifices, their worn out bodies, their nausea, their vomitting, the days they have to stay awake, the tests they take, their discipline, their frustration and their tears. What is amazing is that people who never met before and those you have, form and bond in a comraderie and support from each other to get through every day better than the one before. The strength is takes mentally, physically, emotionally and every other -ally.I really enjoyed Stephen Templin pulling us into his story so we can see exactly what it takes and what it means to want something so bad, to be better than the rest, to want to give up yet to keep going, to struggle, to daily keep your fingers and head away from ringing the bell which says I've had enough, to be tired and hungry and grateful for a little sleep in wet sand and an astronauts pouch of food. There is also a poignant life lesson to us all. Sometimes, we don't really know what we want or are seeking in life. Expectations can make and break you. If you really want something, then son go for it balls to the wall. Never give up. Most importantly, many take their days for granted having no clue what others go through in order for you to have this safe feeling, this life. Before you pass judgment, speculate or talk about our military and special forces, you better damn well know what they do for you and each one of us. Trust me. Not every problem, battle or war is covered by CNN. You know why? Because of our protectors who believe in and love this country and all of us. Are you willing to give up your life and tear yourself apart for strangers to live a safe and happy life? Some of you have and do.Thank you Stephen for another great book. I will keep this to remind me that at the basic level, we are all human. Never forget that. To become a Navy Seal is an honor and a very, in-depth process. Only the skilled few are ever meant to get through. And a few only get through.If you are not heart and soul serious about serving your country, please stay home. If you know you can do this heart, body and soul, Stephen guides you through from beginning to end. Good luck to every foot touching that sacred and revered training ground. Stay strong because you are in for one hell of a ride. To be the best of the best, you have to earn it. By the time you get from the front to the end of this book, you will know for sure if this is your calling. If I were younger and in tip top shape, I would have run out and signed up for sure. This book pumped me up, but then, wore me out!Personally, from this readers heart, I thank you everyday for the things we never hear about because you do what needs to be done, period. I love my country and the men and women who protect it everyday with their lives. My son and his best friend signed up and will leave next year. Thank you, Stephen for explaining the process in real life terms. To them and all our military, be safe and Thank you!And as Stephen would say, HOOYAH! He loves to hear from you so please leave a constructive review. We both thank you in advance!
