I spent 20 years in the SEAL Teams and I am personally guilty of conducting, directing, and overseeing vast amounts of brutal training. The training I led was advanced Unit Level Training that prepared SEALs for combat deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. It required the SEALs to hike long distances in 100+ degree temperatures in the desert. Once at a simulated target, the SEALs would be engaged by Opposing Force (OPFOR) SEALs acting as enemy fighters.
The OPFOR would shoot the SEALs with paintballs. Explosions would be detonated in the vicinity of the SEALs to shock them. Smoke grenades would be set off to cause confusion. CS (tear gas) grenades would also be deployed to further incapacitate the SEALs. Then we, the training cadre, would "kill" some of the SEALs—tell them they were "dead" and could no longer move.
Their SEAL buddies would have to pick them up and carry the "dead" men. Jocko Willink in an undated photograph while serving in the U.S. military Through harsh terrain.
Up and down hills. For miles. While being attacked with paintball guns. It was brutal. And this was just one section of desert land warfare training.
Other sections of training involved assaulting complex targets with live bullets, real grenades, and actual rockets. Retired Navy SEAL and author Jocko Willink Once the desert phase of training was completed, the Unit Level Training continued in urban, mountain, jungle, and maritime environments. All of this training took place while carrying the weight of body armor, weapons, ammunition, water, and other mission-specific gear. The SEALs were always sleep deprived and dehydrated. And the environment was always too hot or too cold or too wet or too dry. Everyone got cuts, scrapes, and

carbonite-encased Han Solo from “Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back” has been masterfully created by a San Francisco Bay Area bakery and aptly dubbed “Pan Solo.”One House Bakery owners Hanalee Pervan and her mother, Catherine Pervan, spent a month after-hours crafting the uncanny likeness out of dead dough, which is yeastless and often used for baked goods like strudels. Displayed outside of their Benicia, California, shop, Hanalee (who served as the sculpture’s model) told the New York Times, “People are just super interested by it, and you see people smelling it and poking it and they’re just like, ‘What is going on?’ They kind of don’t believe you that it’s made out of dough.”A California bakery spent a month making a 6-foot recreation of Han Solo frozen in carbonite, made entirely of bread.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic In what plays like Singapore’s answer to “About Schmidt,” never-too-late-to-live dramedy “Ajoomma” follows a widowed housewife as she steps out of her comfort zone by making a solo trip to South Korea. This upbeat debut from director He Shuming — whose title is the Korean equivalent of all-purpose Asian term of respect “Auntie” — offers longtime TV actor Hong Huifang (“Housewives’ Holiday”) a chance to shine in the title role, which has already netted her a Golden Horse Award nom. Selected to rep Singapore at the Oscars, affable “Ajoomma” is more of a dark horse in that race, albeit one with art-house sleeper potential. Mrs. Lim’s life is light on excitement. What it lacks in drama, she fills by binging on Korean soap operas — a not at all uncommon obsession among Asian women (and a growing number of Americans, thanks to services like Kocowa and Viki). “Auntie,” as most of the other characters call Hong’s character, fusses a bit too much over her only son, who long ago agreed to accompany her on a special tour of Seoul. Now, mere days before they’re to depart, he backs out for a job interview in New York — one that would put some much-needed distance between the closeted young man and his overly suffocating mom.
