SFAS on television
I hope the presentation reflects the serious stress inducement and testing/evaluation that is taking place, perhaps by looking "over the shoulder" of the evaluators as they pull out clipboards/notepads, take notes and point out the motivational, leadership and stamina skills present or lacking in the candidates.
It would be too easy to simply describe "two/three weeks of hell" and make it look like an out of control frat party hazing, or a meaningless "manly-men doing manly things in manly ways" rite of passage instead of a finely tuned ASSESSMENT that has led to a pipeline of the finest UW warriors the world has ever known.
(And no, being a gray hair, I didn't have to go through SFAS. Ours was a less structured -- but I believe no less intensive and demanding -- individual selection process).
