I don't how it was then, but these days only 1 out of 6 applicants to the SEALS makes it through BUD/S school, so what he did was impressive.
you're also reminding me the time in the early 80's a summer project was getting a PDP/11 to talk to a Z80, and having had to learn both Z80 and PDP/11 assembler language so I could talk to the ports & chips (this was healthcare not defense related).
thx for sharing your story about your classmate.
