I don't think there's anything specific to train for here, other than to be sure that you can run, swim, and do every bodyweight exercise imaginable over and over.

Thanks for the advice. I understand what you are trying to say. I have been making little changes in my life like just recently i have figured out that i cannot stand cold water. It is a huge weakness to my goal of being a SEAL so now when i take a shower i crank it as low as it can go in temperature for every shower and am going to start taking ice baths. But i also believe the mental strength i will have from knowing i have pushed myself farther than i have ever thought possible before BUDS will get me through it if you know what i mean.
