Description:
The Warrior Elite takes us deep into the longest, toughest, and most relentless training process in the military, one that is designed to turn young men into the Navy's, and our nation's, ultimate warriors. Dick Couch, a former Navy Seal, follows the trainees of Class 228 as they struggle though the 25-week Basic Underwater Demolition/Seal (BUD/S) training course at the Navy Special Warfare Training Center in Coronado, California -- from the day that 150 men sign on, to the day that only 11 graduate to become Navy SEALs.

What drives talented, intelligent young men to voluntarily undergo grueling training and intolerable conditions, and still insist that they would rather die than quit? The Warrior Elite reveals who they are, where they come from, and why they commit to a harrowing process that takes them to their physical and mental limits.
