As Good As It Gets

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

The Selection is the American version of a very popular show shown in the UK - SAS: Who Dares Wins. Each show is filled with challenges, physical and emotional challenges that the recruits must complete or risk being withdrawn from the course. Interspersed are interviews with the Tier One operators who share their experiences. The format of the show is the exact carbon copy of the UK version, with the challenges, the interrogations and the operators sharing their stories copied from the UK show.

After seeing the participants going through the different evolutions you will get to learn a lot. The Instructors (they all belong from elite special forces ) share their experiences and they also mention the important takeaways from the evolutions and at the same time you can see how different participants react to the evolutions . We all have weaknesses and strong points too,seeing the participants making their way through the evolutions gives you a hell lot of inspiration."ITS A MUST WATCH"it will help you in evaluating yourself about how hard are you working in your domains are you extending your limits ? and then the most important thing "HOW YOU WOULD HAVE REACTED IN THESE CONDITIONS ?" and then observing others and learning from them.

The opening of the show explains the show best. It is taking non-military civilians that volunteer to undergo a brief sampling of what U.S. Special Operations Forces go through for their training.It is not meant to be the real training nor is it to the same exacting standards. People can stop and quit when they want. The instructors can also medically disqualify a person if a medical issue arises that will threaten their life later or if it will keep them from completing later stages of the training.The tasks folks are exposed to are very realistic. Someone pointed out that having women also on the show is unrealistic and I can say from personal experience that some women can handle it for sure but that does not mean they would be able to handle the real thing when you have to have on not 35 pounds of gear but 200 pounds and up of equipment.I know of one woman that tried in real life and she didn't get past the 1st phase of selection; but, that like I said was in real life. This is a show with a different purpose and the women on it are doing as good a job as the men.What I am loving about the show is that it does show how important the mental side is as well as your physical health. Much like an Olympic athlete 90% of it mental.It is worth the watch if you are interested in Special Operation Forces training or what they may have gone through for training.
