The assessment process for the green team to select new members is not strictly an assessment, but more like an advanced version of the special warfare professional system training.
The entire selection process lasts for 9 months. During these 9 months, new recruits need to learn a large number of advanced special operations skills, various necessary professional knowledge and auxiliary skills, etc.
Only those who can keep up with the learning progress can continue to study and train in the green team.
During this 36-week learning process, the top 5 and bottom 5 will be used to eliminate the worst newcomers every week for the first 24 weeks.
In the subsequent three-month and 12-week "internship period", some unqualified candidates will also be eliminated.
This also means...
Each newcomer must not only keep up with all courses, but also perform better than other newcomers in order to be eligible to continue to stay in the Green Team until they complete all training courses and become a member of SEAL Team Six.
This may not sound very difficult, but in fact the competitive pressure is extremely high.
The number of newcomers who are eligible to come to the green team for training will not exceed 40 each year, and the entire training process will eventually eliminate more than 24 people.
The elimination rate exceeds 70%, and less than 1/3 of the people can finally stay.
This elimination rate is simply unparalleled!
Although the people who come for training are called newcomers, in fact they are all veterans for at least five years, and they are all from the 8 brigades of the Poster Commandos.
The SEALs are one of the top 10 special forces in the world. Each member of the SEALs is a special forces soldier with top-level individual combat capabilities. They are all ruthless characters who have killed people on the battlefield with real swords and guns.
Less than 40 people were carefully selected and gathered in the green team to compete again for the strongest one.
The competitive pressure is so great that it is no exaggeration to call it hellish.
Long Zhan, Brian and Clay all knew what the Green Team was like, and they were fully prepared both physically and mentally.
Although he talks about going to the bar to have a party, in fact he just talks about being addicted.
That night, we had a few drinks at the bar, chatted with each other and deepened our relationship, and then returned to the barracks before 10 o'clock with a tacit understanding.
Don't talk about romantic encounters or anything like that, even if you have it, you don't have the intention.
One night passed.
"Bang~bang~"
As soon as the sun rose above the sea on a new day, two gas bombs were fired into the dormitory from the window, officially starting the new training of the Green Team.
The newlyweds, who were awakened by the pungent smell, cursed unceremoniously while looking for clothes and equipment.
"Fake, Bitchi, Shete..."
All kinds of beautiful words come and go in an endless stream.[space]
The seemingly solid double bed with an iron frame made bursts of overwhelming friction sounds under the torture of these strong men's rapid movements.
Long Zhan's movement to get up was a little violent, and his shoulders hit the bed frame of the upper bunk.
With a loud banging sound, Long Zhan's rough skin and thick flesh looked fine, but the poor iron frame was completely bent.
It was not an exception for them to bump into Zan during the Dragon War action, the clanging noises in the whole dormitory never stopped.
And this scene just explains why the double beds here are so miserable.
As for why they didn't turn on the lights first, everyone here is an experienced veteran. They can guess the instructor's method by just using their brains.
Instead of struggling to turn on a light that won't come on, it's better to seize the time and get things done quickly.
Although Long Zhan had a small accident when he got up, it did not affect his getting up action at all, and the impact of the tear gas was not too great.

The other newcomers are generally similar to Dragon Suit, although they are a bit messy but they are all very fast.
After all, they are all carefully selected special forces. They have undergone special training on tear gas and shock bombs countless times, and their resistance ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Even though they were suffering from tears and snot, they still completed the assembly within three minutes.
Long Zhan roughly counted the people gathered, and there were a total of 38 people standing in the team, which meant that there were 38 competitors.
At the same time, right in front of the team, I saw the two "BOSS" who would try every means to torture them in the next nine months.
One is Adam Silver, chief master sergeant of the green team. He has reached the peak of the military rank, E9 level - first class sergeant major. He will serve as the special training instructor for this time.
The other one bears the rank of colonel, Malcolm, who is the commander-in-chief and chief instructor of the Green Team.
The combination of an officer and a senior noncommissioned officer is the standard configuration of the US military.
It is similar to China's company commander and instructor, where the military and political workers work together to manage.
As the "top of the pyramid" of the Green Team, Malcolm is naturally indispensable for the necessary procedures.
Generally speaking, it is similar to movies and TV shows, using all kinds of scary words and training rules to highlight how difficult and painful training in the green team will be, and how much rewards you will gain after successfully passing.
The big stick and candied dates are used at the same time, giving all the new trainees a start.
Long Zhan didn't know if others were scared, but he wasn't scared anyway.
I even had to hold back my smile!
It’s not that Malcolm’s speech wasn’t profound enough, it’s mainly because the actor who played Malcolm’s chief instructor is the same person as Yondu, the villain in The Avengers.
It just so happens that in Long Zhan's mind, the image of Yondu is more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
When Long Zhan was watching the TV series, every time he saw Chief Instructor Malcolm appear, he would always be reminded of the "Smurf" Yondu.
Now that I have seen the real person with my own eyes, the feeling of the drama is even stronger. It is impossible to match the serious image with the Smurf in front of me.
Fortunately, the big boss usually has a grand scene, and in order to maintain the mystery and majesty, he will not appear for too long.
Chief Instructor Malcolm "finished the cup" in a gorgeous manner, and quickly left to catch up on his sleep, leaving all the remaining matters to the special training instructor Chief Master Sergeant Adam Silver.
"Get ready for a morning run, walk five miles around the beach and set off."
Chief Master Adam seemed to be the type of character who spoke little but was ruthless. With an expressionless order, the 38-person Green Team training team was ruthlessly driven out of the camp.
He himself sat on an ATV and followed behind to enjoy the sunrise scenery.
Long-distance running on the beach is one of the basic trainings for the Green Team, and it is also one of the most physically demanding running methods.
The feet step on the soft and wet beach, and each time they are lifted up, it becomes more laborious. In addition, the waves come from time to time, and when they cover the insteps of the newcomers, seawater mixed with sand is poured into their shoes, further increasing the number of newcomers.
The effort required each time we lift our legs.
If you want to complete a 5-mile long run on the beach, you will consume more energy than running 20 kilometers on the road.
This kind of more difficult advanced physical strengthening training designed by the green team specifically for new participants is not just about beach running, but has formed a complete system.
It is also equipped with an exclusive name to name this advanced version of physical training.
