What I liked best about the episode was the fact it wasn't a day-to-day, drawn out "reality" episode.

We see the students, well prepared, ready to go. Week one, confidence testing - pool time, .......jump to week five, insertion, movement, target, exfil.

Lesson here is for those soon to attend SFAS, Special Forces has patterns in our behavior, (1) "We train prepared soldiers". It is evident that the students were already strong swimmers and getting ready is not easy when you have other ODA responsibilities. (2) Respect for each other, cadre and instruction. No false motivation, no yelling or harassment, just excellent training and instruction. (3) Set high standards, marginal performance is not acceptable, at the end of the day, performance counts.
