"Are you sure you want to do this? Owen, you have just been promoted to leader of the field team..."
Tony wanted to give some more advice, but Owen's attitude was very firm.
"I have thought about it. This opportunity is very rare. I don't want to miss it. I don't know how long I can stay there. If there is someone you think is suitable, you can give this position to him."
Owen doesn't want to give up this opportunity, but the SEAL training can last from a few weeks to a year, it depends on how far he can persist. But it is impossible for CTU to be without a field team leader for such a long time. How can Tony's work be carried out in that way?
It's not good to always occupy this position.
"Okay, now that you have made a decision, I respect your decision."
Tony expressed his understanding. He knew very well how he came to be the director. Jack told him his plan to let Owen practice as the field team leader for a period of time, and then transfer to other CTUs to take charge of the overall situation.
In time, this young man would be his equal.
Since this opportunity to go to the seals was also obtained with Jack's help, Tony stopped caring about it. Maybe Jack had other plans.
As for the position of field team leader, of course it will be reserved for Irving. He paid for it with his life. He saved the current president and the family of the current Director of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau. Tony believes that even if he reserved it for Irving, no one would dare to say
What.
Irving put his ID in the locker and returned the gun to the locker temporarily. He might be gone for a long time and it was not safe to put the gun in the locker.
"Guys, I'm going to explore the way for you first..."
"Good luck to you, man."
"Don't embarrass CTU..."
"Be careful of sharks biting your butt, hahaha..."
All the familiar friends came up to hug Irving, and Irving said goodbye to everyone one by one.
"Don't forget to practice your marksmanship, otherwise you will have no choice but to follow me and eat ashes when you come back..."
"Don't even think about it. Even if you practice for another 100 years, you will not be my opponent."
Before I left, my heart was pounding and I didn't forget to tease Irving. Irving naturally couldn't show weakness.
This SEAL selection was an attempted collaboration between Jack Bauer and the SEALs.
Just like the police department's SWAT and the Marine Corps have a cooperative relationship, Jack also wants the CTU to have a long-term cooperative unit to train combatants for them.
Tactical teams and field personnel must constantly learn new tactics to adapt to increasingly complex external environments, which the Los Angeles Police Department does very well.
They regularly invite Marine Corps personnel to provide SWAT training and explain the use of new tactics and equipment.
You must know that special forces have specialized tactical research units to research equipment and tactics applicable to various complex environments, many of which are applicable to SWAT.
They only need to pay some fees to directly enjoy the results. Although the special forces' things are not limited to urban warfare, many things can be applied to SWAT combat scenarios with slight improvements.
The Navy does not reject this kind of cooperation, and since Jack Bauer is now a popular figure in front of the new president, the Navy is happy to help and make a good relationship.
In fact, Jack had his own considerations in choosing the SEALs. The SEALs and Delta are the two strongest special forces in the United States. The SEALs are affiliated with the U.S. Navy, and Delta is the U.S. Army.
However, some time ago, he fell in love with the interest group, which included the Army, so he did not consider Delta. Moreover, another advantage of choosing SEAL is that it has bases on the east and west coasts. Once cooperation is completed, various branches of CTU will
It is much easier to train.
This time Irving went to the SEAL training base on the West Coast, very close to California, on Colorado Island on the outskirts of San Diego, which is the "Underwater Demolition Basic School" of the Naval Amphibious Training Base.
…
One day later, Irving appeared in San Diego. CTU had already submitted the registration materials for him. He only had to arrive at the specified place at the specified time, and naturally someone from the SEALs would come to pick them up and enter the base.
Owen is not the only one waiting here, there are many. They are all members of other units of the US Navy, either voluntarily or recommended by the units, and entered here to prepare for selection.
No one knew each other, and no one talked much.
After a while, a military vehicle drove over, and everyone got on the vehicle. The military vehicle took them to the beach, and then they transferred to a transport ship and entered Colorado Island.
When we arrived on the island, there were people everywhere who came to participate in the selection like them. Although Colorado Island is in California, it is a military base and outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering and snooping is not allowed.
Therefore, no media has revealed the specific appearance of the island. This is the first time that Owen has seen the true appearance of Colorado Island.
The group of people lined up and were led to a courtyard, where Owen received a number of his own - 3367.
Owen looked around. It looked no different from an ordinary courtyard, but on the wall of the courtyard was written "The comfortable days were only yesterday". Owen had heard of this slogan.
Although every candidate was clearly informed before entering that everything they experienced here was a military secret. Regardless of whether the selection was successful or not, they were not allowed to reveal a word after they returned, but a few words would still leak out in society, including
There is this slogan.
The selection of SEALs is notoriously difficult, and those soldiers who have experienced it but ultimately failed and were returned to their original units probably understand this sentence well.
The comfortable days were only yesterday.
It not only shows that the training of SEALs is much more difficult than that of their former troops, but also reminds everyone that during their time here, the training intensity every day will be more intense than before, and only those with great perseverance can persevere.
Irving and his team were sorted out quickly, and everyone received their own number plates. The whole process was fast and orderly. After all, they all came from various troops, so the order was pretty good.
Then a sergeant came over and took them to arrange dormitories.
Owen and others were organized into a class of 150 people, with 30 people per tent. They were arranged in 5 military tents, and each person had an independent bed and a small table.
During the whole process, no one paid much attention to their living conditions. Instead, most people were staring at the badge on the sergeant's chest. It was a trident badge. With this badge, you can proudly declare to others that you are a seal.
Commando warrior.
Everyone's reaction was seen by the sergeant. The sergeant didn't care about the envy in the eyes of others. He once came here with the same dream as these people, but most of his companions fell behind. Only
He persisted.
In the end, he succeeded in owning this trident badge through his own efforts.
"Okay, rookies, gather outside at the playground in five minutes. You can use this time to take a rest. Believe me, this is the only good time you have.
But I don’t recommend that you make friends, because someone will be kicked out soon. Also, I would like to remind you that you’d better remember the way the bed looks now, because you will have to fiddle with it every day from now on..."
The sergeant left after saying a few words. Owen sat on his own bed. Although the quilt on the bed was not folded like tofu like in his previous life, it was neat and tidy, and there were even a few wrinkles on the sheets.
nothing.
Looking around again, except for a bed and a small table for each person, there is nothing extra in the tent. It seems that the US military has very strict requirements on internal affairs.
