After returning from the Army Airborne School at Fort Benning, the group all had joyful smiles on their faces. They passed the most difficult part of the SEAL selection, and there was a SQT training afterwards, but the elimination rate of this training was not very high.
High, if they can persevere, they can become a real seal.
Owen will not become a SEAL, but he is also happy for these comrades. After nearly 8 months of getting along, everyone has developed a deep relationship.
On the familiar beach, the students lined up neatly, but now there are less than 30 people in the original team of 150, but everyone is full of energy.
"Welcome back to Colorado, boys. You have made it this far. You are all the best. There is still one more sqt left. I hope you can all pass..."
This time, instructor Rogge actually changed his usual style. Instead of yelling and swearing, he gave his own encouragement.
Those people in the past may not be able to penetrate his discernment, but those who are left now will basically become seals in the future.
If pst and bs are more focused on screening and elimination, then the following sqt is more like training, training these basically qualified soldiers to become familiar with the seals themselves.
SQT, the full name is SEAL Qualification Training, lasts for 19 weeks.
During this period, the remaining trainees must continue to improve their basic skills and at the same time learn new tactics and skills for truly professional special operations.
Only after this stage can you truly grow into a SEAL.
At the same time, various tactics training will be carried out, various types of light and heavy weapons learning, individual soldier tactics, group tactics, detachment tactics, marching according to the map, advanced blasting, tropical cold zone training, frogman tactics, etc.
As a special force that can operate around the clock, its members must be proficient in these to ensure that they can complete any tasks assigned by their superiors at any time and in any place.
Instructor Brown briefly introduced the subjects that would be conducted later and then disbanded the team and everyone dispersed. Although they had only left this place for three weeks, there was still a sense of intimacy when they returned here again. These guys had completely forgotten
He knew how they were trained to death here.
Owen also wanted to follow the others back to the camp, but was stopped by instructor Rogge. The three instructors took him into an office in a rare move.
"Owen, I'm glad you persisted. Your performance was very good, especially in obstacle running and shooting. You have achieved results that surprised even the official seals..."
"Thank you, sir."
Owen knew that the three people who called him in were definitely not talking about this. It was just an opening statement. Sure enough, the three instructors looked at each other, and finally instructor Rogge said: "But I'm sorry to inform you that your training is over.
…”
Owen was stunned...
Ten minutes later, Irving came out of the office, rang the bell unwillingly, took off his helmet and put it aside.
For special reasons, he gave up.
The students ran out of the camp with surprised faces, wondering who would give up so well at this time. When they saw Owen, they all had expressions of disbelief.
"Why?"
A student who had a good personal relationship with Owen came up and asked. The two of them were always next to each other when standing in line, and they were often assigned to a group to complete tasks together. During "Hell Week", Owen wanted to give up several times, but he slapped him.
The one who wakes up is that he is the person who can’t understand Owen giving up the most.
"gather"
The instructors did not give them a chance to ask, so the team members were urgently gathered and started training. By the time their training was over, Irving must have left.
Owen sighed, but the reason was actually very simple.
Because Owen is not in the Navy, he cannot join the SEALs.
He was just the product of an experimental cooperation between CT and the Navy. Originally, everyone thought that he would be eliminated in the early stage, but surprisingly, he persisted and made it to the last step.
But SQT is different from the previous training stages. This is a training unique to SEALs and is highly classified. There is basically no elimination quota at this stage, which means that those who participate will definitely become SEALs in the end.
Owen is an outsider, how could Seal expose his core secrets to him?
Looking at the departing team and then looking at the blue sky, it has been nearly 8 months since he left Los Angeles. Due to the system, he can only talk on the phone once a week. His mother, Amanda and Monica are all very worried about him.
, it seems it’s time to go back.
…
That afternoon, Irving returned home to Los Angeles.
He didn't notify anyone in advance, and neither his mother nor Amanda were there. Owen took a hot bath for himself, and then had a good sleep. In the past eight months in Colorado, he had hardly had a good night's sleep.
In addition, I soaked in sea water almost every day, so I had a strong smell of sea.
At dusk, while Owen was still sleeping soundly in the room, her mother came home from get off work. She noticed something was wrong at the door before she even had time to walk in.
Owen told his mother about the incident where Jack Bauer's family was abducted before. Her mother felt that the alarm system was unreliable. It was actually shut down at the critical moment. It seemed that she couldn't completely believe it, so she had to add her own
of insurance.
After consulting McCall, McCall taught her a method, which is to sprinkle some powder evenly at the door as soon as you enter. The powder may look inconspicuous, but it can play a key role.
If someone sneaks in while they are away, there will be traces left.
She and Amanda usually pay attention to this and don't accidentally step on it. Originally, there was no change at all in the past few months, so he almost forgot about it, but today he saw this conspicuous half-footprint as soon as he walked in.
My mother was immediately startled and broke into a cold sweat.
Someone had come in when they were not at home, and this person had not yet triggered the alarm. In an instant, the mother sounded the Jack Bauer home experience.
The mother's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't panic. She first silently took out the Luger LC9s in her bag, and when she saw that nothing unusual happened for the time being, she quietly left.
Outside the door, my mother gently closed the door and hurried towards the McCall's house opposite.
The two were in a relationship, and she knew a little bit about McCall's identity. He was a retired CIA agent. Her mother immediately thought of him.
Two minutes later, the mother hid in McCall's bedroom, standing in front of the window and observing her house across the street with a worried look on her face. At the same time, she held the phone in her hand, ready to call the police at any time.
The black uncle McCall quietly appeared outside the kitchen of Irving's house with a pistol. He first put tape on the glass, and then smashed the glass.
Because of the tape restraint, the broken glass made no sound. McCall entered Irving's house quietly and began a silent search.
Ten minutes later, McCall opened the door to the house with a smile on his face, followed by a sleepy Owen.
"Steve, you bastard, why didn't you say anything when you came back..."
The mother's mouth was angry, but her expression was clearly full of surprise. You can imagine how happy she was that her son, whom she hadn't seen for more than half a year, suddenly came back.
"Sorry mom..."
Owen gave his mother a hug.
Mother and son reunited, McCall left knowingly, and Owen winked at him.
"Robert, remember to come over for dinner later..."
"certainly."
McCall left with a smile on his face. Owen also hugged his mother and re-entered the house. Looking at the broken glass in the kitchen, Owen said to himself: "Well, I will have to find tools and mend this later."
, where is the spare glass?”
He really forgot about it after not coming back for a long time, but he heard his mother say: "There is it in the basement. When Robert replaced the glass in the basement last time, there was some extra leftover."
"Wow, he came to help replace the glass. It seems that you got along well during my absence..."
Owen couldn't help but tease his mother.
My mother was not shy and said openly: "Of course, Robert comes to our house every night to have dinner. He is full of praise for my cooking."
Seeing his mother smiling happily, Owen was sincerely happy for her. It seems that the two of them are getting along well so far. Owen and Amanda also like this neighbor very much, and hope they can have a good outcome in the end.
