Special Forces Training Comparison

Paresh offers an unparalleled insight into the rigorous world of Navy Seals and Green Berets.  In a candid conversation with John "Rain" Waters on The Afterburn Podcast, Paresh delves deep into the contrasting natures of BUD/S training and the Green Beret's Q course.

Paresh began his career in the military after 9/11 and attempted to make it through BUD/S but did not make it through.  That did not stop him.  He became a Navy Corpsman and served in a Marine Reconnaissance unit for several years before separating and joining the Army.

After joining the Army, Paresh shares his journey with the Special Forces Group (Green Berets), ultimately becoming a member of the elite Special Mission Unit (Delta Force). Paresh speaks of the intense, performance-based nature of BUD/S, where every moment tests one's mettle.  In contrast, the Green Beret's Q course emerges as a prolonged, cerebral challenge demanding physical prowess and mental fortitude.
