I have been stationed at the JFK School of Special Warfare in the late 60's and knew SF personnel in the reserve's in the 80's and attended a class at JFK in the early 90's--and that's the first I've heard of waterboard training for SF or any military personnel.

Secondly, the military itself has said it doesn't want to be apart of these activities lest our soldiers experience the same.

Thirdly, over a 33 year active duty and reserve military career with my primary MOS in the Infantry I have never seen, heard of, or engaged in any exercise or training involving "running 5 miles with an 80 lb. pack" on one's back (Hike maybe, yes).

Additionally, although the actual submarine down times are classified, my daughter-in-law's father is a retired Submarine CPT and 6 months under water is not the way it goes.
