Patience is a virtue

Since I was a kid patience has been beaten into my head by both of my parents. Even today I still have a bit of patience…but I can get a little impatient at times..don't tell my parents that. What I am really trying to get at is the fact that anytime you are thinking about going into any of the armed forces you have to have patience. I think the SEAL’s have to be the most patient people out of anyone. In the book Lone Survivor SEAL team 10 is instructed to get on a C-130 which is a huge military plane. The SEAL’s end up sitting on the plane for countless hours. Each and every one of the SEAL’s has a way to keep their mind off of the long trip that they have. Once they arrive at their destination there is no time to waste. They end up going to a small stake out point and staying there for a long time. I do not think I would be able to sit and wait there for like 12 hours. Sometimes snipers have to spend up to two weeks just looking for enemies and collecting Intel on their targets. After sitting there for quite a while they then make their way up towards a small village where they steak out some more! I completely understand why they are waiting, but I still do not believe that I could do that. I don’t think I would have anything to do for that long . I know that I have repeated a lot of things but that’s really what I am reiterating. All in all the SEAL’s have amazing patience which the average person would most likely not have. CHILLIN
