'(25 Oct 2011) HEADLINE: SEAL-mania grips nation in wake of bin Laden raid --------------------------------------- CAPTION: Interest in Navy SEAL fitness classes has skyrocketed since members of the elite commando unit killed Osama bin Laden in his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan at the start of May. (May 13) ---------------------------------------- (Location: Encintas, Calif. May 12, 2011) 2011) (Source: AP) [Notes:VO -----------] A NEW KIND OF \"SEAL MANIA\" IS GRIPPING THE COUNTRY EVER SINCE U.S. NAVY SEALS KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN IN EARLY MAY. MORE AMERICANS ARE SIGNING UP FOR GRUELING FITNESS PROGRAMS OFFERED BY FORMER SEALS TO GET A GLIMPSE OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BE ONE OF THE WORLD\'S TOUGHEST FIGHTERS. [Notes:SOT -------] INTERVIEW (ENGLISH): Joe Stumpf, Businessman, of Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Calif.: \"If you really want to find out what¹s happening in Afghanistan, you want to get a taste of it, you know, and you¹re never going to be able to go over there and do it, but you might be admiring what¹s going on, you can come here and get a little taste. I like that thought, that I¹m getting a taste for something a lot men are putting their lives on the line for. [Notes:VO --------------] MARK DEVINE THE FOUNDER AND CEO OF SEAL FIT HAS SEEN THE NUMBER OF INQUIRIES DOUBLE SINCE THE BIN LADEN RAID. AS A FORMER NAVY COMMANDO, DEVINE INITIALLY CREATED THE TRAINING PROGRAM TO PREPARE SAILORS AND MARINES INTERESTED IN BECOMING SPECIAL OPERATORS. [Notes:SOT -----------] MARK DEVINE- ³On our application, we require everyone to write a 500 word application, and they write, I¹m gonna be a Navy SEAL I¹ve been thinking about it, or of wanted to do it since I was 14, and they come to our camp, and they either quit, or its such a miserable experience for them, that, at the end of the camp, they tell us in our debrief, that, no way in hell are they gonna go on that route anymore. [Notes:VO -------------] NOW SEALFIT IS OPEN TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN TRAINING LIKE A NAVY SEAL. PROGRAMS VARY FROM DAILY HARD CORE WORKOUTS TO MONTH-LONG LIVE IN ACADEMIES WHERE CAMPGOERS EXERCISE FOR TEN HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. THOUGH FOR SOME, THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CHALLENGE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH. [Notes:SOT -----------] INTERVIEW (ENGLISH): Joe Stumpf, Businessman, of Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Calif.: ³You know, it¹s an adult fantasy camp. For a guy like me, you know, who, physically, I like to take on the challenge. And there¹s just not a lot of things available out there that you can be with young guys that push you this way. Because, I can get around with guys my age, but they don¹t push you like these guys. Just to hang with them, that¹s the challenge.² Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_Archive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/APArchives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/APNews/ You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/88b827b58fc7bbd067ac576dfb298a23'
