It would be more accurate to compare apples to apples...Rangers are some fit individuals, but again compare SEALS to their equals

Army Special Forces Underwater Operations School makes its mark on Key West

Maybe one needs to write a book or go on a speaking engagement trail to complain about how good they have it so we know they were the one....

I heard that it such hard course that in every Special Forces Battalion within a group have a select diving company and its a pain to request for.
