Lone Survivor Update pages 1-194

    So far in the book, Lone Survivor, we have been introduced to the struggles of being part of the US Navy and all that it intails.  Marcus takes us through his journey in training to be a Navy SEAL and it sounds nearly impossible to do the things that he did.  As a kid, marcus knew that he wanted to be part of the Navy Seals and was influenced by his father and a different man in his town, Billy Shelton.  Billy Shelton was previously a Navy Seal and now he spends his days training young boys in Texas to prepare for the Navy Seals camp.  Marcus and his brother spent a huge amount of time working out, running and going through hell in order to reach the physical shape that they had to for the Navy Seals.  After a while of training from the local, Billy Shelton, Marcus thought that it was time to really enter the Navy.  Marcus entered the Navy Seals training camps which are necessary in order to become a Seal. While at the Seals training in Michigan then Virginia, Marcus sees that his hard work and training has paid off.  While others were struggling, puking and hitting wall after wall of intimidation and thoughts of giving up, Marcus was able to stay focused and complete the tasks at hand.  Marcus is a fighter and continues to attack the rigerous training and problems that they face in the trainig camps.  The training that the Seals go through, both physical and educational, are almost inhumane in my opinion.  These men face problem after problem, and barely have any brakes inbetween thier intense training.  This inhumanity is made visible when the team enters Hell Week.  Hell Week in infamous for being the hardest and most vigerous training sequence in America and possible the wold.  The training Seals had to go a week, with less that 12 hours of sleep while facing terrible tasks.  Men were dropping out and quiting left and right.  The tasks that they faced were brutla and as it says in the name, resembles hell.  Marcus continued to fight and somehow managed to hold on and fight through it.  Marcus made it through and finally became a US Navy Seal.
