Passing this course only gives you the right to start training with the Naval Special Warfare Forces. 75% will not survive the cut.

   #3 - US Air Force Special Operations Dive School

   S2:E37/25/2011

   Air Force Special Ops is a small but highly valued asset of the Special Operations community. If you are in trouble, these guys will survive any climate to get you out. Water is the most unforgiving environment and they need to be able to operate flawlessly in it. Students are pushed to the limit as they struggle to learn the art of staying clam in adverse underwater conditions. Both open circuit and closed circuit systems are mastered here, but the biggest skill required is surviving pure chaos where there is no air. 1 in 3 will not survive the cut.

   #4 - US Army Sapper School

   S2:E48/12/2011

   Army sappers specialize in punching through an enemy's defensive lines. It's their job to take down whatever stands between combat forces and their target... by whatever means necessary. To earn the sapper tab, soldiers must endure 4 weeks of intense physical punishment, science, and special demolitions tactics training. Sapper school moves fast and furious. There is no heavy equipment to help them break through: what they carry on their backs is what they have to work with. Soldiers suffer through weeks of demolitions testing and physical torment, then fight through a week of nonstop missions with less then 10 minutes of sleep a night. Carrying 80 pound packs, they must struggle up, over, and through any obstacles the instructors put in their path. Only on the final day do they learn their fate. Over 50% will not earn the coveted Sapper Tab.

   #5 - US Army Special Operations Aviation Regiment Enlisted Green Platoon

   S2:E58/19/2011

   When America's most elite Special Operations Forces need assault and attack helicopter support, there's one unit they want to provide it: the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). They have the equipment and special tactics required to get the job done, often under the most remote and hostile conditions. They take the riskiest missions with the most severe consequences. Every soldier in the regiment must be Special Operations material. Green Platoon is where they prove they have what it takes. For six weeks, they are pushed through a barrage of mental and physical stress testing: escape and evasion, long-distance land navigation, hand-to-hand combat, special weapons, and emergency medical response skills are front and center. If you can't achieve these skills while under the pressure of non-stop punishment, you will not survive the cut. 1 in 3 will not make it.
