John Carl Roat’s is an ex-Navy SEAL of one of the youngest graduating classes.  He endured “Hell Week” and all that BUD/S Training had to offer, and later served his country with honors as a full fledged Navy SEAL.  Upon retiring Roat’s composed an exciting first person account of what Navy SEAL Training was like for his graduating class.  This work of art is known as: Class-29: The Making of U.S. Navy SEALs.

In recent history there have been dozens of first person account novels released which cover the ups and downs that various Navy SEALs experienced while going through BUD/S Training.  However, Roat’s takes a new direction with his work that is very intriguing.

The story begins with John Carl Roat’s own endurance and highs and lows while attending BUD/S Training.  Then it switches directions when John Carl Roat’s actually is permitted to view the training techniques of BUD/S Training today.  With this information Roat’s compares and contrasts the way that things used to be done and the way in which they are done today.

He remarks that the instructional lessons and equipment has changed, but the physical demands and mental stability needed to pass BUD/S Training are as tough as ever.  This is by and far one of the most sought after and brilliantly crafted stories that paints a clear picture of what you can expect to face when they enter BUD/S Training.

“Throughout training I kept having the thought, WELL, ALL THEY CAN DO IS KILL ME. It seemed to help.” This brilliant quote sets up the backdrop for this exciting and page turning novel that will have you desiring more!
