More Training - Less Bleeding

       If you were to get to know me as a person, you would realize how much of a military orientated man I am.  So, this week, we are going to do a military theme.  Many, if not all of you, have heard of the Navy Seals.  If you have not, they are an extremely elite group of soldiers that run highly confidential missions, ones that we will probably never hear about.  The only Navy Seal mission that I know of is the Osama Bin Laden raid, and is probably one of few that are pubically known.  Below, I have one of the many Navy Seal mottos.  Take a moment to read it.

        At first, you may think, how is this possible?  Run with with more ballistic gear?  Wear more armor?  Bring more bandages with you to stop the bleeding?  Where as these all could be the reasons... I don't think that this is the message that the motto intends to get across.
        So, how does one sweat?  Well, your usually sweating when you are pushing yourself to the limits in some sort of physical exercise.  So, if you push yourself in your training exercise, beyond the extent of your comfortable limitations, you begin to work yourself, and build yourself up to be stronger.  The more effort you put in, the more you reward you will get out.  So, "the more you sweat in training," the better you are going to be when you have to apply it in a life or death situation.
    This leads right into the next part of our quote.  Since, as a Navy Seal, you are better trained to handle these situations, there will be a smaller chance that you will be shot or caught off guard in battle.  You will develop this odd sixth senses, allowing you to have more situational awareness.  The harder you work, the less of a chance that there is that you will be found bleeding in battle.
