Do you sleep during Hell Week?

What is Hell Week in the Navy?
It is held early on – in the 3rd week of First Phase – before the Navy makes an expensive investment in SEAL operational training. Hell Week consists of 5 1/2 days of cold, wet, brutally difficult operational training on fewer than four hours of sleep.
The third week of the Navy Boot Camp schedule is dedicated to hands-on training. You’ll learn basic first aid and self-care. You’ll also learn ship nomenclature, semaphore (flag signaling), and so much more while on the training ship. In the classroom, you’ll learn about military citizenship and ethics.
What percentage of Navy SEALs make it through hell week?
On average, only 25\% of SEAL candidates make it through Hell Week, the toughest training in the U.S. Military. It is often the greatest achievement of their lives, and with it comes the realization that they can do 20X more than they ever thought possible.
Week 1. After P. week, the real Navy training begins, and if you think your RDC was tough during the first couple of days, wait until the first week officially begins. The first three weeks of Navy Boot Camp are clearly the toughest (physically, and stressfully). Get through the first three weeks, and you’ll almost assuredly graduate.
