Thank you Stephen!!  I will view the video. I absolutely agree with you in that they are a special group of men.  My son wanted to try for SEALs when he first joined the Navy coming out of High School, but with the help of his recruiter, we encouraged him to select a rate he could make a living on after his naval career was over.  And with that idea, try for SO after spending some time in the service.  He has excelled in his career as an IC having received several awards for his efforts. But, the dream of becoming a SEAL never left his thoughts. So, he has spent the last couple of years or more preparing for this opportunity. Even having been on deployment with his ship for the last several months, he has been working aggressively to maintain a strong physical and mental stamina.  I am so proud of the efforts he as put forth to chase after his dream.  He is highly motivated and driven to succeed and my heart tells me this young man will go the distance!

Thank you again for your insight and support.  I am excited and scared for him all at the same time, but oh so proud of his accomplishments.  I will follow this group closely and am glad I have a place where I can share my son's journey with others.

You must be very proud of your son and congrats that he is able to pursue his dream.  It's a long hard road, he sounds like an exceptional young man to try this endeavor. Good luck to him and I hope you are able to navigate this most unique journey.

Hello, I'm new to this group.  My son has been active duty for nearly 6 years as an IC (Interior Communications Electrician).  He is following his dreams now and has recently received orders for BUD/S.  He heads to BUD/S Prep in August, but I don't yet know what his class number will be.

Jeff - I have been to Coronado to visit my son several times and have ran on the beaches up to the SEAL base and never noticed the gold glitter you refer to.  Asked my wife about it and she said - absolutely....the sand has gold glitter... Guess I'll have to check it out next time back there.

Also there recently.  Attended the graduation of Class 300,  Was amazed by the number of legacy graduates in this class.

Visited Coronado several weeks ago.  Brought back a lot of good memories of the graduation of our guy.  Maybe I was distracted by all the activity but I never noticed the gold glitter in the sand.  Anyone else notice it north of the Hotel Del?
