I expected better from them. In fact, I expected to see the normal range of performance that you see in any group of trainees - some do well and some don't do as well. But, sadly, as a group, they really sucked. And, I guarantee that it was not because they are incapable. I'm sure that if they had really cared about the training here, they would have done great. But, they simply showed that they didn't care. I've seen international students do better. It really made me shake my head when I got the instructors' feed back yesterday.

Please, I mean no disrespect, please do not take this the wrong way.
But SUT is Small Unit Tactics correct?
SEAL Teams work in teams of 2, to teams of 16...
And a SEAL Officer didn't care about the training? WTF?!?! You mean an Officer is going to be in COMMAND of a SMALL UNIT and doesn't care if he knows WTF he's doing? Do SEAL Officers mentally contemplate the small fact that his men might actually have to depend on him to have their backs? Did those SEAL Officers mentally contemplate the fact they may actually be in situations where things that are covered in SUT may actually come into play?
What ever happened to the "Never Quit" attitude? The whole "Push your limits and do the best you can every opportunity you can" Mentality they get in BUD/S?
I've only spoken with two SEALs one on one throughout my entire life, and those are what they always went into whenever I asked them about the SEAL Training Pipeline. Their Officers have equal, if not greater responsibility to their men in knowing their stuff as an ODA Commander/WO.
No offense, but WTF???
Going back to the shadows.
