CORONADO, Calif. -Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) students participate in Log PT (physical training). Log PT is a demonstration not only of physical strength and endurance, but the importance of teamwork. The intense physical and mental conditioning it takes to become a SEAL begins at BUD/S training. During this six-month mind and body obstacle course, recruits are pushed to their physical and mental limits. Further development of the core values – Honor, Courage, and Commitment – is an essential component of SEAL training, and is weaved throughout a SEAL’s career. (U.S.Navy)
