I don't want to make it sound like I think it's a bad thing to not make it through BUDs, I didn't even make it *to* BUDs or anything like it. I just thought it was interesting that this guy had been former Navy and had done BUDs before he became a multimillionaire through poker:

rolled back to the beginning of training on a safety violation. He made it through a second only to be dropped three weeks before graduation ‘for no real reason,’ he says, other than ‘p***ing off an officer.’
‘It’s probably the most brutal military training in the world and I finished two hell weeks, ‘ he says. ‘And that was after I’d broken my leg.’
His leg was ultimately so damaged, and his refusal to stop had such an impact on his health that at the age of 22 he was rated 60 percent disabled and medically discharged.
‘I did 510 days SEAL training. It’s meant to be a six-month course, only to get dropped.
‘Maybe it saved me life though,’ he says. ‘Because a whole lot of my buddies in my class died.’
He sold his guns for $750, turned that into $10,000 across four days on a gambling boat in St Petersburg, went to Vegas and played for three weeks straight turning that into $187,000.
Playing online, he says, ‘There were weeks when I’d make $90,000 and I’d be thinking, “What the hell am I doing in college?”’
