Navy Seals
Research Paper-Navy Seals-
By Sumid Nohrer

There are many career choices you can choose from in the armed forces. Like becoming a nuclear engineer, a pilot, or even going into a special ops program in a certain branch of the armed forces. Well there's one special force that is separated from the rest and that's the navy seals. In this research paper you will learn the good and bad aspects in joining the navy seals whether it's for the training, pay/benefits, or for your education. Foremost, the training for a navy seal go through about a year of training becoming a navy seal. "Which starts as the BUDS program, you must be 28 years old and must be in the Navy."(Becoming a seal) "The training is designed to push you past your limits, there's no time to rest just keep on going," Petty Officer 1st class John Vasquez says. The second phase consists on diving, which you train in the cold Californian waters. "By the time you get to the beach you have no clue what's going on just drill sergeants yelling in your ears telling you to strip down into your bear skibbys and get in the water. You first learn how to clear your mask of water when it is completely filled with water. And boy is that water freezing at 5 am in the morning. You're in the water for a good 4-6 hours at a time. That wasn't even the worst part. The worst part on that phase is at the end of the day you and your platoon gather at the shoreline and you sit in the water to about 3ft. and every wave hits you. The first three hit you and your like that's not too bad I can live with this. But once that sun goes down and the wind starts to pick up you start wishing you weren't there. That's when the mental part of the training starts to pick up. Cause you may leave at any time if it's pushing your limits. There's a bell that the drill sergeants like to call it the quitters bell at any time you want out you ring it and you are out," Vasquez stated. "Seals use a wide range of weapon training like a colt .45

The one thing on their mind is to graduate and become a Navy Seal. They know that it "pays to be a winner".

    Post Traumatic Stress Disorder seems far more prevalent in Vietnam War veterans than in those of other wars: fifteen out of one hundred Vietnam Veterans have combat-related PTSD as compared to one out of twenty World War II veterans, a ten percent difference (“How Common is PTSD”). Although it is nearly impossible to pinpoint the root cause for the rise in PTSD in this generation of veterans, there are many factors that could have contributed to this rising issue. Many used to believe that these veterans were simply young, immature boys dragged into the war by the draft and were unable to cope with the pressures of combat: the average age for a soldier in Vietnam was nineteen and in World War II it was twenty-six (Roark 838). However, every…
