Would You sign up

So I was browsing reddit.com/r/scuba, and tis guy posted you tube clips to the Combat diver show on Discovery: Link here parts 2 and 3 are linked to the side.

And I thought to myself "Now that is a serious of stress test". My question to you guys is if there was a course like this (minus the actual invasion) available to citizens would you be interested in testing your skills? Would you like to do a weekend warrior course like this. I started talking to a couple of friends of mine and they are super interested.

Clearly I have about 40lbs of fat to lose and gain about 50lbs of muscle to gain before I did, but I'd like to see how far I could push myself.

I'd give it a try. I'm in no way special forces material but I think I could do a large portion of the challenges. Just not in the way of being recycled for failing any test. Maybe by some scoring for each completed test.

Nah ... I'm an old dude ... when I go underwater I just don't want to work that hard ...

Nope, way too lazy nowadays.

My brother is ex special forces and has a few contacts. I just got off the phone with a retired diver supervisor. He'd be interested in doing this and setting up a point system. No wash outs and penalties no where near as severe as depicted in the video. I'll let you guys know more as I try to work out some sort of weekend "boot camp".

What would you not want and what would you like to see. I realize this is a lot of work, but I feel like it could make me a more prepared diver for that unforeseen situation.

Piss on THAT! Vicious. More power to them, but none for this old fat guy.

Part 2 has a nice shot for a potential Spare Air video ad. "Good enough for the Special Forces, Good enough for You!"

I'm shocked that no one has blasted them for using split fins yet! lol
