Deuster, Ph. D. , M. P. H.  \nDepartment of Military and Emergency Medicine Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences  \nAugust 1997  \nAcknowledgments  \nThe authors would like to recognize the invaluable contributions to the development of this guide by the following individuals. CAPT Kenneth Long participated in both panel reviews and provided useful suggestions and comments. His meticulous work was greatly appreciated by all. CAPT Peter Toennies reviewed and provided substantive comments about the chapter “Swimming for Fitness”. Mr. Jeremy Levine and Ms. Brandi Schoeber provided information about strength training.  \nImportantly, we were extremely fortunate to receive valuable input from several SEALs throughout the development of this guide. ENS Frances Franky and BM1 George Vernia participated in the first panel review and their suggestions were incorporated in the second draft of the manual. BM1 Vernia helped organize and participated in the second and final panel review. Other SEAL panel reviewers included CW03 John Shellnut, Master Chief Bob Bender, LCDR Pat Butler, and BMCS Duane Noel. Each one of these SEALs provided suggestions and practical recommendations which were instrumental in the finalization of the “The Navy SEAL Physical Fitness Guide”.  \nAbout the Authors  \nCAPT Frank K. Butler, Jr., M.D., developed the chapter“SEAL Mission-Related Activities”. He is currently the Biomedical Research Director for the Naval Special Warfare Command, Chairman of the U.S. Special Operations Command Biomedical Initiatives Steering Committee, and a Staff Ophthalmologist at the Naval Hospital, Pensacola, Florida. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1971, with high honors. His medical degree is from Medical College of Georgia, 1980. Dr. Butler’s Family Practice Internship was at the Navy Regional Medical Center, Jacksonville, Florida (1980-1981) and his Ophthalmology Residency was at the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, MD. where he was Chief Resident (1988-1989) . He completed his Undersea Medical Officer Training from the Undersea Medical Institute, Groton, Ct., 1981. CAPT Butler has been a platoon Commander for Underwater Demolition Team TWELVE and SEAL Team ONE, and a Diving Medical Research Officer at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit. He has published extensively and been a frequent guest lecturer on the subject of closed-circuit diving and Special Warfare.  \nCAPT John S. Hughes, M.D., developed the chapter“Swimming for Fitness” and contributed to “Other Training-Related Issues”. He is a Navy Reserve Undersea Medical Officer who resides near Littleton, Colorado. A graduate of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Dr. Hughes has a Naval Reserve assignment to NAVSEA in Crystal City, Virginia, where he is assigned to the Supervisor of Diving and Salvage. Dr. Hughes has been involved with Navy diving medicine since 1981. He is Board Certified in Occupational Medicine and his civilian medical practice in Colorado and Wyoming involves operation of clinics and health facilities covering a wide range of high risk industries including commercial diving.  \nSpecial qualifications allow Dr. Hughes to participate in the development of the Navy SEAL Physical Fitness Guide. He swam freestyle in the NCAA Championships and won the 1976 Big 8 Conference Championship in the 1650 yd freestyle for the University of Colorado and has remained active as a competitive swimmer. As a mountaineer and cross country skier he has organized and participated in numerous climbs, including two on  \nDenali and Denali North Peak in Alaska. His instrumental work with the SEAL team in developing a winter warfare program during 1982 led him to participate as a staff member of the SEAL winter warfare Greenland operation in 1983. For this involvement, Dr. Hughes received a letter of appreciation from the CO of SEAL Team TWO, CDR Rick Woolar","cbCaijUosz4BaRpn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijUosz4BaRpn","pdf",5353932,306,"English","# Acknowledgments\n## About the Authors","[{\"question\":\"Who edited The Navy SEAL Physical Fitness Guide?\",\"answer\":\"The guide is edited by Patricia A.
