These guys are rule-breakers and unorthodox in their approach to excellence, with undeniable results. I've once seen one say, "We're experts in becoming experts." Can /sci/ recommend any meta books that might sum up that quote, what might be useful in self study and learning of /sci/ related subjects?
but anon, they're fucking morons. basically super athletes of the military world.

Being expert in being an expert is pretty much the same thing has having a high general fluid intelligence which I.Q. is an approximate of.

I don't think this thread belongs here, but you're wrong.
Study math.
Congratulations you now have no useful skills, but can obtain proficiency in every kind of arbitrary bullshit you choose to in a short time.
I wish I was joking.

you do know most of them speak 3 or 4 languages?

welcome to Murica, where speaking <=2 languages is the norm.

They're very well trained dogs, I'll give you that.

>3 or 4 languages
green berets is the only sf unit with language requirements, and the only unit allowed to make autonomous decisions in the field
>experts on being experts
my sides
I'd say a good general rule to success is never accept the status quo until you've personally become convinced that it's valid. Don't be a cog in the system either, play by your own rules.

Military is all about chain of command. To say seals cannot make decisions within theirs is disingenious.
And its experts on becoming experts not experts on being experts. Its relevamt because their approach is valuable to look into. Learning languages and practicing mma while deployed to an active war zone is impressive just not to someone like you who is obviosly a more capable human being.
