Hoo-f'ing-yah December 4, 2009

Great illustration of BUDS. Whenever I need to get fired up, I dust this one off and go for it.
Compelling and awe-inspiring June 12, 2009

Now this is one book I proudly display on my coffee table (keep those beers away!). Chronicling a class through BUD/S indoc, hell week, and beyond (a mere fraction of the training potential SEALS must endure before their first op), every photograph in this massive book is interesting and sometimes shocking. I sat down and flipped through it in one setting and was exhausted afterwards. Navy SEAL's are absolute studs and any man who can make it through BUD/S was blessed with godlike MENTAL toughness and gets my respect. Anybody thinking of volunteering for BUD/S should look here first. Hooyah!

Fantastic book; and excellent read, extremely accurate.
I recommend this literature to anyone interested in the REAL DEAL about the Navy SEAL.
Can't get any closer than this. Terrific! January 5, 2009

Let's face it, we don't have a clue - not unless we've been there. Most of the pictures we see, the stories in the press, they only tell half of it, if at all.
We don't know what it takes to want to be one, a Navy SEAL, not really. And we don't have the slightest idea what hardships these men have to go through to be able to be called one, in the end.
I needed stories and pictures for research I'm doing on a manuscript. I found a handful of great books on the Navy SEALs and Special Forces, but photographs - and I mean those that tell a story - they were hard to come by - which of course is logical. These guys don't wait around for someone to snap their picture.
Then I found this. It's huge in every sense of the word. Richard D. Schoenberg sure knows what he's doing. Not only do you get tons of pages with just about anything you would want to know about Navy SEAL training. Richard won the trust of these young men so his portraits show you a depth that is hard to find, most certainly during the harshest training conditions imaginable.
Sure, in the end we still don't really know what it's like cause we have not been there but with this we get as close as we can get.
If you're interested in Navy SEAL training, this book should be in your hands and on your shelf.
Excellent... Pictures are worth a thousand words! January 31, 2008

I would recommend this book to anyone seriously wanting to get an idea of what it takes to become a Navy SEAL. This photo essay chronicles the journey of an actual BUD/s class from start to finish. While I have read other accounts, the pictorial evidence really clarifies some of what happens and why so many would-be SEALs drop out during the process. Only the most determined and mentally tough make it through these lengthy, grueling tests of strength and character. These men have my respect and my admiration.
