recruits are trained to swim 350 feet underwater with their hands and feet bound. they re taught to survive in arctic conditions, even submerging in freezing water. they also have to endure exposure to tear gas. only men ranging in age 26 to 33 try out to become one of the 2,500 s.e.a.l.s. training takes two years. 75% don t make it through. even if they do, they need years more experience in the field to even be considered for the elite squad that double tapped bin laden, team 6. by the time that you get to six, you will either overcome any weak points that you have in any of those disciplines or you will wash out, and say you are a good s.e.a.l. but you are not good enough for this. reporter: he should know. he started team 6. on missions they may jump from a plane 11 miles up,

we froze it and enhanced it. that s petroleum jelly on the left. eyedrops right next to it. this one an antiseptic cream for cuts. and the box, we couldn t read the writing so we went to a local pharmacist and showed him the image. do you have one of these? yes, we have. reporter: he pulled out the same blue box. what is this? a nasal spray. nasal spray. yeah. reporter: it s only a quick glimpse of one part of the house but there appear to be no serious medicines. despite years of rumors about bin laden s poor health. outside the house, we found evidence of what the bin ladens ate. two cans of imported olive oil. two cans of local sunflower oil. and in the pantry, it s hard to see, but brightening the video reveals enough food to sustain a family for weeks, including dozens of eggs. bin laden never had to leave. always protected by 15-foot-high walls.
