Thanks Scriptwriters John Glenn and Spencer Hudnut for finally writing an Episode that depicts what U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s actually do as short duration (measured in hours) Direct Action (D.A.) Missions and Training.
Unlike the other S.E.A.L. Team Episodes that have Bravo Team attempting to do the U.S. Army Special Forces Mission, that require Cultural Anthropology for each Nation in Area of Operations and Area of Responsibility as long term Missions (Deployments "Tours" that can last for Years) including the Covert Operations while attached to the Central Intelligence Agency's Special Activities Directorate ("Division") and or the Central Intelligence Agency's Special Operation Group or as under the Operational Command of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Why only an 8 rating and not a 10? I rarely rate anything that high 10 "Walk on Water", I don't inflate my ratings, just like I do not inflate my Ratings of Subordinate Officers, NCOs, Enlisted The glitch is that U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s are trained at the very start of becoming a U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. to handle explosives as Basic Underwater Demolitions/Sea Air Land (S.E.A.L.) aka BUD/S aka "Buds". The other glitch, is where is the Bravo Team's S.E.A.L. Team Commanding Officer? aka Required Fall Guy held accountable and responsible for any Mission Failures?
"All SEALs are BUD/S graduates; are dive, parachute, and demolitions qualified; and have completed an advanced 15-week SEAL Qualification Training." - U.S. Navy, and the training I survived.
