 Hi, I'm SB1 Jake Foynes. I've been a special warfare combatant craft crewman for 10 years now. I grew up in a small town, never thought I would leave. I worked at a machinist shop and decided I needed to do something better with my life. So I decided to join SWCC and then I finally joined at 20 years old. The thing I love the most about the SWCC community is the people I work with. SWCCs in general are some of the hardest-working people and just being around this atmosphere makes every day that much more enjoyable. One of the hardest parts of SWCC training for me is buddy toes. Do you have to go save a drowning victim, which is the instructor? You fight him underwater and then you tell him back to safety. During this evolution, I failed every single one. When you fail, you do have a chance to make it up. So instead of accepting failure, I went out, I trained and then I came back and then I crushed it. Failure isn't an option.
