Then again, they had issues carrying a heavy rucksack and operating without sleep for too long (which I found odd, considering the training they do back at their school house). Look, I felt that they all had the ability to do really great. They simply didn't care and did not show any regard for this course. Some displayed a certain air of superiority. I am hard pressed to imagine any of our guys ever doing something like that in another service course. If they ever did, and it became known to us, you know what would happen.

From my experience I've noted a lack of maturity in both the O side and senior NCO corps of the NavSpecWarCom folks. Not all but more than would be healthy for the community.
A "Too cool to train unless it's our training" and an overinflated sense of self that comes from believing everything they write about themselves.
This attitude, IMHO, is a direct contributor to the amount of casualties they take from Panama thru today they overextend, do not execute to opord, and just get their ass in a crack.
They are brave, physically fit, individually skilled in mos but tact/tech deficient in collective skills i.e. SUT like events, planning executing unless very straightforward.
