I tell ya what it means to me....
I have my moments where I want to bitch about life, and say how hard it is....and then I see this kid, and it helps me realize how so freaking easy I got it.
I don't know jack about going to BUD/S...never will. I am sure it is hard....but this kid didn't exactly have it easy, either.
I imagine, on some level...there are guys who passes BUD/S...who might not have passed this test.

I wish him the courage to keep fighting, but if his maker calls, the courage find peace.
