Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Combat Diving Training
Joe Ga was quite intrigued by the training that Dorian mentioned. He was now somewhat confident in his shooting skills, but he felt dissatisfied with his ability to control himself.
That's the thing about amateurs: even if Joe Ga trained with guns strenuously, he wasn't a professional soldier.
A professional soldier needs polished training and the tempering of actual combat.
Joe Ga definitely couldn't rely solely on groping his way through like Karman did. He felt that, following the modern warfare model, he might not have the stellar luck to last thirty years on the battlefield.
Now, only facing Africa's militias, or at most, a mercenary group of less than ten people, Joe Ga was already beginning to feel some aftereffects. What would he do if he faced even more elite forces in the future?
Endurance and eagerness to learn were Joe Ga's greatest strengths. When he knew there was a way to solve his problems, he became interested.
Once the plane had steadied, Joe Ga looked at Dorian and asked, "What exactly is this training?
"I must learn to control my own state. I can't always be as if I'm on a stimulant when facing a bunch of militias.
"If what you're talking about is special forces training, I think I can withstand it as long as it truly works. I'm willing to invest some time in it."
Dorian looked at Joe Ga with amusement and asked, "Boss, what do you think so-called special forces training is?"
Joe Ga frowned and said, "Don't underestimate me. I have never experienced it, but I have read online. All special forces training aims to bring out a person's potential, so it's very tough.
"But if this training is truly effective, then I could also…"

Dorian immediately shook his head and said, "Don't think like that. The training for special forces is indeed very tough, but it's definitely not like what you see on the internet and in TV dramas.
"If everyone trained the way they do on TV, there'd be no one left alive in the special forces."
As Dorian watched curious Joe Ga, he smiled and said, "I haven't experienced other special forces training, but the toughest phase I went through with 'Leather Headgear' was actually the 'selection' phase.
"Many people apply, and 'Leather Headgear' uses a three-month selection training to weed out unfit soldiers.
"So the selection training aims to push individuals to their physiological and psychological limits, eliminating most of the unfit soldiers.
"It involves 8 to 12 weeks of high-intensity training and 24 to 48 hours of extreme reporting tasks. All these things combined can crush a lot of people's will.
"At that time, physical fitness is no longer important. One becomes mechanical, and without an extremely firm will, it's impossible to pass the special forces selection.
"This type of selection training is applicable globally among all special forces because they believe the best soldiers are those who have both extraordinary physical and mental endurance.
"The hellish training you see on the internet and TV is mostly from the selection stage. Real special forces training involves various tactical and professional skill training.
"In fact, these programs are quite similar to regular military training programs, but special forces training is more intense and the content is more refined and technical."
Joe Ga was taken aback by Dorian's words, then said with a hint of incredulity, "Are you saying that special forces, like recruits, need to undergo two to three months of rookie training?"
Dorian naturally said, "Of course, recruit training is to get ordinary people used to the military's rhythm, while special forces recruit camps aim to filter out the strongest soldiers."
Hearing this, Joe Ga curiously asked, "Then what exactly is the training you said could be useful for me? Do I also need to torment myself like that?"
Dorian paused for a moment, then said, "If you are willing to try, the 'selection training' could actually be useful because it would let you know the limits of your body and mind.
"If there's someone pushing you to strive and someone striving alongside you, with a clear benchmark, perhaps you could surpass your limits."
All special forces soldiers became more confident and honored after going through that intense training, feeling transformed.
While looking into Joe Ga's eyes, Dorian hesitated for a moment, then added, "But you're the boss. Your shooting skills are the fastest and most accurate I've ever seen, so I suppose you don't always need to push your limits."
"The best training for you would actually be combat diving training, which can make 80% of special forces soldiers feel painful and desperate."
Upon hearing this, Joe Ga frowned and asked, "Are you pulling my leg? Is diving training that difficult?"
Dorian's face showed a pained expression as he explained, "If it were just diving with a breathing apparatus, it wouldn't be hard, but combat diving training for special forces is different.
It demands not only physical fitness but also absolute calmness, even including the ability to control your heartbeat in extremis."
"You should know about America's SEAL Team. They have a very famous underwater demolition training that's pretty much like what I'm describing."
"This training isn't just about learning to dive; it's more about maintaining control over your thoughts in uncomfortable zones and calmly handling any difficulty."
"Boss, this training would indeed be the right medicine for your issues, but I personally advise against trying it. Honestly, just engaging in more combat can also alleviate your condition.
Being excited in the face of enemies isn't a bad thing after all..."
Joe Ga now somewhat understood the meaning behind Dorian's so-called 'combat diving training.'
Humans aren't fish. Many know how to swim, and Joe Ga himself was quite good at it, but when facing trouble in water, the panic is much greater than on land.
This training uses harsh aquatic conditions to test soldiers' survival skills in water.
As Dorian said, learning to dive isn't the key; the core point is learning to remain calm when problems arise.
Joe Ga felt that such training was indeed spot-on!
Looking at Dorian's shifting expressions, Joe Ga curiously asked, "Have you participated in this training? What do you think of its effectiveness?"
Facing his boss's question, Dorian sighed and confessed, "I participated in combat diving training in Sardinia, but I didn't pass."
As he spoke, Dorian noticed a look of disdain on Joe Ga's face and quickly gestured, saying, "It's not a problem with my abilities. I feel that it was the instructors there who had it in for me; I mean it, ever since the training started, they targeted me."
Joe Ga, with a disdainful shake of his head, replied, "The American SEALs passed their underwater demolition training, but you, 'Leather Headgear', didn't make it.
But I don't mind that. Can you help me arrange a spot for diving training? I want to give it a try…"
Dorian, seeing Joe Ga's determined expression, hesitated for a moment before answering, "If you're sure, I can arrange a training site for you after we settle things with the Mori Family.
If you're willing to pay, you can train together with special forces soldiers from Italy."
As soon as Dorian finished speaking, Nis reached out and tugged at his arm, saying, "I'll go too."
Antar, showing great interest, raised his hand and added, "If the cost isn't too high, I'd like to go too."
Upon hearing the conversation, Karman looked back and said, "I can swim; I won't go."
Just as Dorian was touched by the team spirit, he paused, then instinctively responded to Karman with...
"Psh~"
