Someone was just telling me recently that a lot of Navy SEAL training boils down to seeing how well you can handle being cold. (Which would have sounded like a fun challenge in my 20s, but today I hear that and am, all, "Fuck that!" Which I guess is part of why they take people in their 20s!)
@caitlinburke, that makes a ton of sense about SEAL training and cold. They're going to spend a lot of time in the water or wet under adverse conditions and will need to retain capabilities.
And yes to the coldness, fuck that. Just watching outdoor swimming practice the other morning left me puzzled.
