He must have endurance. That looks different than physical strength, maybe? And that specialization might be all it takes to get a seal escort to do his thang?
The naval seals training won't be a walk in the park. A tough loss for us Iowa wrestling fans but a great get for the country.
If this kid is serious about becoming a Navy Seal the last thing he should do is spend 5 years at any Division I wrestling program. Injuries are one of the big factors that eliminates guys at BUDS and any serious health issues that occurred during college wrestling are likely to reappear in that kind of environment.
No truer words can be spoken WRT recruiters. While most are 100% ethical (I'm being generous), their priority is getting qualified - and sometimes not qualified - applicants to join the military (and ship). Those who don't ship; don't count. It's difficult to get a kid to sign his life away; it's even more difficult to get a kid to sign his life away and actually ship out to basic training. Back in the old days those were called DEP losses (signed up but didn't ship) which of course counts against the recruiters' quotas.
Amen to that. And the guy (Kyle Mills) that took up the Mitch Rapp series after Vince died is OK, but not comparable. And if you ever listen to the Mitch Rapp series via audio book the narrators for Vince's writings were exceptional; those reading Kyle's books suck. Sad to see Vince go!!
That's how it works in the Army. Saw many young men (no GI Janes during my days) thinking they were going to be the next Delta but ended up being your average combat arms soldier...or worse yet a chemical soldier or a cook. I even saw it when I attended ROTC (2 year Green to Gold program) at Arizona State (after I had served almost 8 years enlisted in the Army). Had a few ROTC buddies who thought they were all that because they were part of the ROTC Rangers program. Two in particular chose Infantry upon graduation thinking they were going to join the Infantry, go to Ranger School, get the tab, and then set the world on fire. Of course it didn't go that way...both went Infantry, failed out of Ranger School and eventually left the military after their 4-year commitment. Knowing what you want is important, but when it comes to the military you need to know what you want and know that you have a really fricking good chance of achieving all that's necessary to get what you want. The military life can really suck for those going in with unrealistic expectations. It can be a great life - was for me - if you know and accept for the most part what the future could hold.
OMFGeee… That’s a sure sign that he’s done.for.good. He’s not a quitter and will finish the season.
I’m not convinced this means Nate is wrestling. It could be one of those expected entrants lists that will have multiple changes. I’ll believe he’s back when I see his entry in TrackWrestling.
If stars are aligned correctly, could be rematch; Jesuroga (SEP) vs. Davino (SCE). Both seem to be at 126 lbs. Cheesehead always tough, this could be a loaded bracket.
To be in good enough shape to do the job might be different than being tough enough to make the initial selection.
This looks like it was just pulled from MatScouts rankings and has nothing to do with actual entrants. Hope he’s there, that would be a great match with Davino.
SMH at anyone who took this Tweet to mean he’s wrestling. Be better, people.
I have seen that throughout this thread and it still surprises me. I picture SEALS as like... Jack Campbell clones.
I kind if thought they might have some sort of size requirements as well….. And of course physical as in can you carry a fellow soldier if need be but they do work as teams
Give me a whole bunch of bull riders and you'd have a helluva bunch of SEALs, Green Beret's or Delta.
If the guy you are carrying is small, then a little guy will have no problem. I think most of the difficult things they do require conditioning more than strength - swimming 2 miles, hiking miles and miles, climbing up and down walls and mountains etc.
In my defense it was 3 am and I had gotten into my moms eggnog. Here’s her eggnog recipe: scotch
Running in the sand and singing with dual tanks on your back after a very long swim.

I’ve read his book twice. Very rare I’ll read a book twice, but dam it was good.
