Chapter five “Life’s not fair. Drive on.” Seal team trainers would randomly pick one recruit out of the bunch and shout, “sugar cookie.” The recruit would have to roll around in the sand and pile sand on his head and in his trousers and run around all day like a “sugar cookie.” This was not a punishment, totally random. And the point? Life is not fair. So what. Get over it. The next day another random recruit became a sugar cookie. The whole point of the training was to drill into the heads of the seals that they cannot be effective in their work if they are always concerned about what is fair and unfair. Get up. Do your job. End of the story. I can think of a few people who would have benefitted greatly from seal training. Myself being one. God does not promise fair. He does though promise presence. And that is enough for me.
