Phenomenal
By razzie_88
In the back of this book, the authors include a pretty comprehensive reading list for those who are seriously considering becoming SEALs. While I have only read two of the books from the list, they both came from the "Required Reading" section. Those books include "The Warrior Elite" and "The Finishing School" by Dick Couch. I bought this book last night and finished it an hour ago. This book belongs at the top of its own revised "Required Reading" list. Half of this is due to the fact that it describes in detail a more updated version of BUD/S, and is therefore a bit more relevant. The other half is due to the sheer frankness and honesty of the coauthor and narrator, Mark Owens.
I've read quite a few other books about other post-9/11 SEALs and their exploits. All are fascinating, but sometimes I've felt they stray into the self-indulgent territory. Not so in this book.** This book is the most refreshingly honest and objective thing I've ever read about BUD/S and what it takes to make it through. Mr. Owens is an officer and describes his personal route via OCS, but also details the exact steps an enlisted man would take and the best way to prepare for either option.
Like many men, I've often wondered if I had the ability to be a SEAL. It's something that I've wrestled with for a long time, but Mr. Owens did something that no other SEAL author was able to do. Through his forthright accounts, he made me realize the SEAL lifestyle is not for me, and for that, I'm grateful.
I gave this book five stars because it educated me in a way no other book on the same subject has done. Through this education, it answered a burning question and also made me laugh out loud from the politically incorrect humor the Team guys share. If being a SEAL is what you actually want, this book will get you there. If you think being a SEAL is what you want, this will answer the question and then, if it's right for you, it will get you there. If not, it will at least give you a reason to laugh and appreciate the guys who do what most people, such as myself, can only dream of.
**To be clear, I've loved all the books I've read about the SEALs, pre- and post-9/11. They served as fascinating character studies and made me relieved that we have so many great men volunteering for such a demanding and necessary job. The last thing I would ever be is critical of a real man doing a real man's job. I am, even by comparison to an Army mess cook, soft as baby sh!t.

The real deal for wannabe SEALs
By Joe W
The title of this book says it all: “Breaking BUD/S: How regular guys can become Navy SEALs.” The author is an active SEAL, writing under the pen name DH Xavier for security purposes.
If you have a young relative who's thinking about becoming a SEAL, by all means give him this book. It's a first-class "weeder-outer." If he’s truly serious about becoming a SEAL, this book will help him achieve his dream. If he's not truly serious about becoming a SEAL, this book will discourage him from trying and wasting his time.
"Breaking BUD/S" covers its subject as thoroughly as any book I’ve read on any subject. It lists the four possible paths to BUD/S training (Naval Academy, ROTC, Officers Candidate School, and regular enlistment), giving the pros and cons of each and a step-by-step guide for following whichever path is chosen. The rest of the book describes, in minute detail, how a candidate can survive BUD/S once he's been selected.
Xavier spells out what a candidate should do—and not do—to prepare himself for the challenge and survive it. He covers both the physical and mental aspect of everything: how to interact with instructors and fellow candidates; how to conquer the frequent, overpowering urge to quit; the least difficult way to run in soft sand; even the proper way to super-glue the thread on a uniform button to keep it from coming off.
Throughout the book, he illustrates his advice with real-life examples of candidates who succeeded and failed—and why. He even gives tips on how a candidate can outmaneuver his instructors/tormentors (cheat), and explains why instructors/tormentors admire candidates with that ability. Xavier also touches on the politics of military life, especially for officers. It’s a vitally important subject, as anyone who's served in the armed forces will recognize, but one that’s usually ignored.
The book’s strongest point is that Xavier is brutally frank about everything associated with the selection process. Here's his description of how a candidate begins Mask Appreciation training: "On the pool deck...you lay with your head hanging over the water and your feet pointed away. You lean back, dunking your head in the water at JUST the right angle to force water to surge up your nose. While your head's underwater...you fill your dive mask with water and put it on."
I never wanted to be a Navy SEAL, but if I had, I would've dropped the idea after reading Xavier's book. So will any young wannabe who's watched "Sole Survivor" 24 times and thinks he wants to become a mighty warrior. If you have a young relative who fits that description, do him—and the Navy and SEALs—a favor, and give him "Breaking BUD/S."

The ultimate BUD/S guide!
By david alarid
This is a truly interesting read. I'm a Navy SEAL candidate. I've read every SEAL book worth reading, browsed every SEAL website worth browsing, watched every SEAL show worth watching, spoken to SEALS, and even worked out for a little bit at SDV-1 at Pearl Harbor. I thought I knew everything there was to know (not to sound arrogant). I was convinced that there was nothing else left to learn before I left for BUD/S. A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I figured I would give it a shot, and couldn't put it down! This book is AMAZING. It not only tells you the basics, like how to work out, what the training is like, etc, but where this book really shines is telling you the LITTLE THINGS. This includes:
-How to maximize much needed sleep every night
-Where to have your uniform dry cleaned
-Where the best barber shop is
-What to look for while preparing for inspections
-How to keep your gear in tip-top shape
-How not to attract extra unwanted attention
-What kind of guys typically make it
-How to be a team player and not screw over your boat crew
-Fun things to do while waiting to class up
-Drown proofing techniques
-Navy trivia you should know going in
-TONS of other priceless information
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying because you read this book, you're gonna pass BUD/S. That is entirely up to you. What I will promise you, is that this book will cut down on many avoidable beatings, and will give you the tools to make BUD/S as easy as the hardest training known to man could possibly be.
