The GOON SQUAD

Goon Squad: In Naval Special Warfare training, especially on long beach runs, the students that have a hard time keeping up with the head of the pack, are peeled-off and administered extra PT work, while the “Gazelles” stretch, relax and hydrate, the Goon Squad gets their asses handed to them a few yards away.

Some students will spend their whole time in training getting “Gooned” but never quit despite all the extra attention, making them, arguably a little “harder” than the rest.
