Surviving the Cut (2010)

Episode Overview

Basic Crewman Training is an intense five-week program aimed at filtering out those who can’t handle the pressure. Participants face a series of grueling challenges, including confidence-building exercises in the pool, exhausting runs along the beach, demanding obstacle courses, and a relentless 50-hour endurance test in the frigid waters off Coronado. This rigorous experience ensures that only the toughest individuals make it through. Successfully completing this course merely grants the opportunity to begin training with the Naval Special Warfare Forces, with a staggering 75% of recruits not making the grade.
