"By Monday afternoon, I thought my legs were broken. Not even 24 hours. I literally believed in my head that my legs were broken—like, right in the middle of missions." "Drown proofing... So they tie your hands behind your back, your feet together, throw you in the deep end. You sink to the bottom, bob for five minutes, float for five minutes, swim across the pool and back. I fundamentally could not float... I ended up getting rolled for it, so I failed." Dino Mavrookas
