I wrestled at John F. Kennedy High School in hisland, New Jersey and then also for Millsex County College in Edison, New Jersey. I believe it helped me get trained up a little bit more. It definitely helped as far as my ability to handle pain. One of the big things in wrestling is you have to be able to deal with a lot of pain. It's a very good experience. It definitely helped me understand where I can push myself too. Right now I just finished doing three platoons over at a certain five and now I work at Advanced Training Command and I teach combats. Anything you come into a house and you have to put hands on to somebody. This is the system that we use on how we can do this. I remember when I was in Buds, my nemesis was the drum proofing. I didn't know how to swim before I came into the teams. You know I'm from the West Indies, I'm from Trinidad and Tobago. And Trinidad everyone goes to the beach but it's not really to go swimming. You go to the beach just to hang out with family, eat food for about two and a half years. I had to learn how to swim, swim well enough where I can pass the screen test. So learning how to become comfortable and relax. That was a major challenge for me when I was in Buds. I explicitly remember a couple times wanting to quit. I learned a lot about myself during all my training in Buds. A lot, a whole lot. A lot of people for them when they think about Buds they think about Helwick. Helwick is not the only part of Buds. There's a lot of evolutions where you are going to be in a lot of pain. You are going to be tired. You're going to be driven to a point where you've never been before. The stuff that you've already done in wrestling practice is going to be very similar to the types of pain that you will be experiencing here. It's not that much different. 90% of the guys that I know that were wrestlers made it through the program. And a lot of that was just their ability to be able to deal with the pain. The guys that have been the wrestlers when you come to the evolutions, like log PT, carrying the boats overhead, those should be not necessarily easy exercises, but you've already been there in a place like that before. So it shouldn't be anything where, okay, I can't do this. There's nothing here at Buds that somebody who's a wrestler who has that type of pain experience won't be able to deal with. Doing this program and making it through this training has taught me that there's nothing that I can't do. There's nothing that I can't accomplish. This is a very exclusive opportunity. Don't let you fear of the water or something like that. This swayed you from trying to come to this program. This is an amazing community. The BNI have no regrets about doing what I've done. I'm very, very happy that I'm a Navy SEAL right now. This is a life achievement for me. I'm AJ James and I'm a US Navy SEAL.
