BUD/S stands for Basic Underwater Demoliton/SEAL training, and it is the first stepping stone on the path to becoming a United States Navy SEAL.
BUD/S contains three phases, with the 1st focusing on physical conditioning, the 2nd focusing on combat diving, and the 3rd on land combat. Arguably the hardest part of BUD/S is the five day long Hell Week. Hell Week puts each trainee to the test with only a few hours of sleep.
After BUD/S, prospective SEALs move on to Army Airborne School, SEAL Qualification Training, and other schools.
