 Everybody here has a variety of reasons why they came in the Navy. So you guys have been trained for 37 weeks. You're going to get underway on some of the most sophisticated crafts in the world. A SWCC, a special warfare combatant craft crewman, is special operation commands, premier, maritime mobility, insertion, extraction, element. I am a special warfare combatant craft crewman. I am a quiet professional. I am tested and dedicated to achieving excellence. I am disciplined, confident, and a highly motivated warrior. A lot of times folks see guys zipping around on boats and they assume it's SEALs, and when in fact it's actually SWCCs. SWCC is really the best kept secret within the entire United States Navy. A completely different pipeline, completely different capability than the SEAL capability. We operate with some of the most elite special operations forces in the world. My heritage comes from the sailors who operated the PT boats of World War II and the combatant craft of Vietnam. We trace our lineage back to World War II. You know, we didn't call them SWCCs back then. But the type of person that operates the craft, that legacy is what's carried forward. There's only 800 special warfare combatant craft crewmen in the entire Navy. The SWCC community is a community of professionals that have been forged through very demanding training and they are the kind of operators that will get the job done no matter what. I am ready for war. I will close and engage the enemy with the full combat power of my craft. My actions will be decisive yet measured. I will always complete the mission. I will never quit and I will leave no one behind. SWCC training I believe is some of the hardest training that the military puts on. It covers the gamut of physical and mental training. We have a 60-65% attrition rate through this course. So out of this course you really get the best of the best. Most of the training we do here at basic training plan is high-risk. I think folks get here and they realize, wow, I didn't think it was going to be this hard. This is an audition. We add stress, we add, you know, being tired. We expect that perfection day in and day out because that's what's going to be demanded of you when you go down range on the plane month after month to get the good missions and to continue to take the fight to the enemy. When our candidates graduate they're going to receive the basic special warfare combatant craft crewmen insignia. So what that means is they are prepared to move forward to a special boat team and to operate at that basic level. So these pins are significant. You're going to earn them but they don't belong to you. This community owns that pin. And I can promise you if you do anything dishonor and disgrace it your brothers will take it back from you at a lot quicker than the 37 weeks it took to earn it. It's inherently dangerous. We operate high speed craft during periods of darkness. We employ heavy weapons systems and we do it better than anybody else in the world. So the type of candidates that we're looking for are both physically and mentally at the top of their game. We're looking for somebody that has that never quit attitude and will do anything to complete the mission. Right now we are looking for fleet conversion. We're looking for getting those experienced sailors that are currently out on the ships. We're looking at trying to get them to come here and take the SWIC challenge. Never forget where you came from. Never get the brothers of gone before you. On time, on target, never quit.
