The way you train mentally and physically is the way you will operate during physical or academic tests and ultimately in combat.

Self motivation is crucial, you cannot depend on other teammates to get good run, swim or obstacle course times.

Learn to focus on the "how", not time, distance, repetition or hearsay.

If someone feeds you information in training, and you ask them where they got the information they will tell you "well I heard..." or "he said..."

Any excuse will work, pick the one that fits your personality.

Do not go to the Dark side and do not think negative. These thoughts are contagious and they are nothing more than a weak state of mind.

When you are starting to hurt and feel sorry for your self, look left then right. If the guys to your sides can do it, why can't you?

Keep your ego in check, be confident but not cocky. Listen and learn, put in the hard work and you will be successful!

The worst BUDS class is always the one coming through and you are never the reason the instructors are coming down on your class.

Think of yourself as part of a greater whole and not just the tip of the spear. Any job in specwar is part of a team and elevated to the best of what they do!

This is the game of BUDS, an obstacle course of mind games to convince you to give in to your weakness. Do not give in and fight tooth and nail to stay in the program!
