Man deserves credit. Straight out the gate, no BS, came clean. Respect. Hope he has it in him to saddle up and go again.
The most valuable people to talk with and learn from are those who have tried and failed. They understand. Realize water is the great equalizer. If you are running 20-30 miles a day you should be swimming 10ish miles a day.
Swimming IS ALWAYS the hardest for everyone. To get through BUDS you need to be part fish. Developing this swim ability will also develop your upper body for pull ups. You see swimming is KEY
Hats off to this Man. It takes a man with integrity to be open and honest. Not a quitter! He is a winner.
Absolutely he is winning in the military right now
I could do it.. at forty, THAT'S how tough I am
Good for you@@dusteedawg2915
@@dusteedawg2915no…just no
@@dusteedawg2915 Who are you?
Probably the only video on the internet that actually interviews a guy who quit Bud/s about his experience at Bud/s. Knowledge!
FIRE RIGHT .... I have a couple more of these set up this dude had courage
1990s, I was Marine OCS and tore my knee up. Goal was to be in Force Recon. My knee still clicks. Now I’m an engineer with a great life. Despite sometimes wanting to do go back, I can’t. The Universe has a different plan for me.
At least you tried. You showed up and gave everything to it and took an injury for it. You’re good Sir! Showing up is half the battle and you literally dove in.
this look behind the BUD/S curtain was powerful palpable mesmerizing stunning, you can tell by his voice that his psyche is totally devastated, anyone who is thinking about BUD/S needs to hear this interview, great job taking us on a trip to realityville
Share this bad boy!!!!!!!!!!! 100000% Agree
“Thinking about buds” if your thinking, it ain’t for you. You don’t think. You do or you don’t.
@@vortx1945 absolutely
This info is golden and made me re evaluate my own training and weaknesses, im just glad i found this before I ship out. Thank you so much Jake and Whoever this man was.
Boom I'm glad it helped
@@jakezweig Same here bro !
I appreciate both of you. Jake you should do this more often.
Do this? Inview more people that quit
No, I see your point Flecher. Talk to people who might have had a hiccup and then did something great - not necessarily the people who quit and never try again. I go back to watching 234 - their honor man was a third timer at BUDs and he did it. Most people will either get injured or will have to do BUS twice or three times to get thru.
@@melissabowers6268 they are not letting guys come back now.
@@jakezweig Wow, interesting. Even if you get injured, you are just out?
@@melissabowers6268 i heard you can get med rolled once. But if you get injured again you're done. I'm sure it depends on a few things though.
I wish this content would have been available when i was joining the military. Even though i wasn’t a special forces member this content would have been extremely helpful in my decision making in 2000
Jake Zweig I go way back with you at the Boat school. You were my youngster in 34th company. I remembered seeing you swim all the time getting ready to go to BUD/S. There was NO doubt in my mind you were going to crush it. I am so proud of you brother! This is Lin Walton checking in with you. I would like to get up with you!
LIN give me a call man 734 834 7944!!!!!!! Give me some of that 8-3
@@jakezweig calling now my brother!
I have nothing but deep respect for both of you to endure the training you received. I am a army guy, I had several opportunities to go ranger, and pussed out. I regret it everyday of my life since I etsd out of the army stationed at fort Lewis. I continue to use this as a lesson for others who do not prepare for the physical, and mental toughness you need to make these programs.
Have to bit the bullet
I am ex British army and I was the same. I always wanted to try selection for the pathfinders and my section commander was pathfinder trained and always said I should give it a go, but I knew my weaknesses and one was always rucking and a big part of pathfinder selection is rucking, they actually do the hills phase of sas selection alongside them and I knew I had no chance of coming close to the level of those guys, so like you I have regretted not atleast attempting it but I was happy being an assault engineer.
Much respect to anyone accepted into that program. I played football in college in the early 90s with a beast that quit during indoctrination. The guy was hard as nails and i was in disbelief that he could quit anything. Gave me a appreciation before I knew what navy seals were or thought they were Charlie Sheen.
FACTS makes girls out of Grown men
I hear ya... I played with a guy in the early nineties that freakin won state twice for swimming in highschool and STILL got medically dropped from BUDS due to an injury from a swim evolution. It's Russian roulette who makes it through training, it seems...WTH??
@@adampaape6894yeah thats the biggest turn off unfortunately. I get it’s not for everyone but there comes a point where it seems the only way to get through is to not get seriously injured. At that point it’s out of your hands.
Crazy realism and unbuyable insight. Always love coming to your channel from time to time. Stay safe, thanks for the informal upload.
1000% Stay Safe!!!!!!!!!!!! Long live the brotherhood
Thanks for sharing. With an attrition rate as high as BUD/S has it takes guts just to go.
Stupidly if your not ready
6 months would not have made a damn bit of the difference as the result woulda been the same!!
Hats off🎩 to him for steppin up and sharing and all the best to him with his future!!
There are two things that these kids need burned into the deepest recesses of their soul to make it through....
1) Want to be a SEAL more than ANYTHING in their lives!!
ANYTHING!!!
2) Never EVER QUIT!! As you stated ad nauseam, you got kicked in the nuts, literally and figuratively, more times that you can count, however you GOT UP AND GOT BACK IN THE FIGHT/DRILL EVERY SINGLE TIME!!
If they cannot accept that Murphy's Law and adversity are gonna be beside em every step of the way, they got no chance.
NONE!!
Continued Success Brotha👊

Fire man
Thanks for sharing your story E-5, good luck in your career! Another outstanding video, Jake! I appreciate you trying to school these folks!
Thanks so much!
Great video. Most people hit a wall before they achieve their goals, not everyone does it the first time in the game of life. It is good to know about these people and the lessons learned. I hit a wall getting my professional engineering registration, but I kept trucking. This guy could have gone all the way - his mind set him back. A lot of this is mental. If the mind ain't right, forget about trying to make the body do right.

@@jakezweig I love this blog just read all the posts. Amen thank you brother
Great story! I was at North Island with Helicopter Squadron (1991). I was AE3. My coworker and friend tried to convince me to buddy up with him and apply. We started to train... when D-day came to join, I knew my running was not strong and chose not to go. Yes, I regret not putting more effort in to at least try it. My buddy got accepted and made it to Hell week but got a severe injury.... he took a medical discharge. Big Hooyah to all my Squids no matter your rate and proud that that you attempted SEALS!
BOOOOOOOM thank you for your service
You too brother!
S/O Jake Zweig. This was awesome. Would love to hear more interviews like this with people who failed or made it through training.
I have one more coming in a couple of months
Great information and the hidden warning signs of BUD/S training for Navy Seals, Jake, the old saying goes like this, the more prepared one is the better off, the less prepared, the worst off especially when it comes to both basic and advance training plus BUD/S
Absolutely
What many civilians don't fully understand
(especially young men around High-School age)
is that active-duty military life is 24/7, 365...
and they are not even BS-ing around about that.
And that especially becomes
all the more amplified & difficult
in the various Combat-Arms MOSs...
...and it's about 10-fold so in the
Special-Operations Community.
(where its more like 48/7... not 24/7).
And it doesn't get any easier
once you make it out to the Teams
(assuming that you do make it).
If anything...
it only gets harder.
Like Jake said...
Special-Operations
(and especially BUD/S Training)
is not "Call of Duty".
FIRE ASS COMMENTSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much respect to all the guys and Jake for telling these stories. I think it can really help a lot of guys who want to be in the teams. If BUD/s has a standard, gather as much intel as you can as to what the standards are for swimming, running, cold exposure, sleep deprivation etc. and try to mimic that stuff so you understand the shock of it and what is going to do to you mentally and physically. It may save you time because you realize it's not for you, or you can harden yourself to give yourself the best chance for success. The information Jake provides through these interviews is straight INTELLIGENCE about what you can expect!!!!!! It's free intel baby!!! Use it!!
SOCOM ATHLETE HELL DAY
Great interview. And to the fella (E-5) that’s in the fleet. When I was in… same thing. It’s all what you make it. You didn’t say what your Rate was, just that you made rank fast. First off that freaking awesome. Bro you’ve got so many options still in front of you. One idea could be to work with your detailer and raise your hand, ask them for out of rate or some cool optional assignment when your up for orders next. (The dudes you work with, the lifers / LPO’s. It’s not their fault, they don’t know cause they are just a few years ahead of you). In the grand scheme of things you’re still a young dude. You don’t have to do a life of 4 (years on ship or 2 ships) w/ (2) years on shore rotations for the next decade. In reality you think you’re old and you don’t want to go back to Boot Camp but technically, option 2, you could finish a year or two from this point within the Navy and then turn around and go join the Army! Get orders to a unit (ranger, or SF contract)go back, try again. Nail yourself up you one of those 11 bravo contracts you don’t need to be the greatest swimmer. Or reg Army and Try to get in a scout platoon see how you enjoy that then go from there.
What I’m trying to say if you want to be a ground pounder, a highly trained door kicker, CQB, and train and all sorts of weaponry then go for it. It’s not too late, you can do any of these options that you want to do aside from being a seal and that’s okay. 🙏👍 or like me you can do your time in the Navy, get out go to school and have a career in IT. At 49 I have lived a good life and then now as an old guy and for fun, I turned turn around identified that I love tools tactics and procedures in having to do with firearms and training. Funny part is I trained with SF, Delta, Seals (Vickers, Pat Mac, Dutch, Jeff G, Brian Zins, Karl Erickson, many bad ass$$) in classes each year for fun. My motto for you young cats, is to Live life to the fullest. Let’s stay away from the drugs and alcohol and don’t do dumb shit. Enjoy life, travel the world on the government’s dime. Take a MAC flight we all heard of them but never took advantage of them while on leave. Don’t run back to your home town, haul butt to Thailand, Singapore, Australia, And explore. You’ve got tons of options. Finally, to all you NAVY squids, don’t feel like you’re the “ol Salty Dawg” just yet, that title is officially reserved for JakeZwrig and I❗️
Hope you get this message. Now go and be great. Good luck to you
He has a kick ass job now and we stayed away from it so no one can id him!!!! 🔥 ass comment
@@jakezweig Right on Bro. Love your work. Forever Forward..
Thank you for this
There’s nothing to be ashamed of. You should be proud that you attempted it. I know that I wouldn’t have even lasted a day. Thank you for your service.
Dude is back on his feet killing it now. Just not as a navy seal
Your audience will learn from the success stories as well as the “failures”.
No need for the air quotes, without those failures we wouldn't have those success stories, of which many were also failures at some point.
Think about this Jake. You talk about being in the best shape in March/April while being on the wrestling team. And then when you got off the ship you were in the worst shape. But your worst shape was still probably better than 90 percent of the people out here. That just shows how much special forces selection is a different beast.
yah my ashma crushes me if i dont run. 38:50 4 mile is 9:45 miles .... but you are right i hit he road and got into very good shape
He not lying about trying to cut over. Came in as a IW officer. Then deployed with the army and was like I can do more. Navy wouldn’t give me the billet for BUDs because there aren’t enough IW officers. I saw this only to say it is easier being on the street versus when you are in. I loved being an officer in the Navy. Best job in the world.
I signed a Navy reserve contract to become a Navy Corpsman. I wanted to become a seal, that's why I joined. I had a kid try to talk me out of it. He said that I should get a spec war contract, I didn't listen. Anyhow my contract had me going to the Marines. I taught myself to swim and how to do pull-ups. I went from 0 to 12 pull ups in 2-3 months during corpsman school (COVID no PT). And I learned the CSS(got up at 4 to use the pool). When I got to Marine Corps training I had an opportunity to do recon. And I didn't volunteer. I think about that shit to this day. Matter of fact I was watching you're videos and I realized I fucked up. People would kill for the opportunity I had, and I wasted that shit man I absolutely fucking wasted it, I left UNI to join the Navy but by that point I had already quit. I was gonna get out and join the NATTy guard. But no, no more quitting man. I got a good job and I'm gonna go back to swimming, I'm going to earn my FMF pin. No more quitting from me. Thanks for these videos.
P.S there is no reserve to active duty contract don't listen to your recruiter...
Man this makes me wanna talk about my experience in the PJ pipeline. It was short lol but similar to this guys story. Just want people to be more prepared and realistic when going into this type of career field. Thanks for the video. This helped me be at peace with what happened
Dude you should get in touch with jake I’d love to hear your story
How was it? Would love to hear your story. Were there fighting “fight clubs” and getting jumped after a day of hard work as described in the “harsh reality of army rangers” video on this channel?
Had the same experience in boot camp. Went to San Diego running 5 miles at an average of 6 1/2 minute miles and came out of boot gasping at running a mere 3. I’d get in trouble on purpose just to get the extra workouts/beatings. Extremely disappointing….and boring. Got to Guam for my first duty station and hit it hard…4am runs/pt, swim and more pt after work. Ocean swims on the weekend…loved it!
I didn’t know boot camp was this easy
Out of failure comes success.
That rotator cuff thing is no joke
I have had both of mine redone and the labrum.
YES SIR
Its cool you had someone on who tried and didnt make it. Because I feel like a lot of people forget most people dont make it More people drop then dont
70-80% failure rate
Great video team. I’ve been truly busy but, I just had a neighbor quit seal training and is out in the fleet as undesignated. As a result, he wants to quit the navy since he crap-out on SEAL training. I told him before signing that contract look at other services and if your motivation is only becoming a seal then you should not join the navy. I was only being real with him but, he learned his lesson and now have to deal with the consequences. Smh
Yup just had that Convo yesterday
I dropped my SO contract and will apply for a Special Recon Slot for the Airforce.
I'm losing no sleep over it.
The juice ain't worth the squeeze at the Navy for this man!
You ain't gonna catch me Undes at the fleet at 26!
@@burbsl1672 what I like about the Air Force Spc Ops is they are helping you with recruiting stages to enter the pipeline.
@@Mc007- honestly too I don’t think it’s talked about but AFSOC pipeline is harder from what I’ve heard. CCT pj and SR all go through A&S together, reason SEAL has drop rate is since more knuckleheads join AFSOC is more kinda niche career and even the guys who really know what they want still don’t make it. On top of that the schools you have to pass after. I never heard one of those guys say buds was harder than being a PJ not that they are comparable and I’m not spec ops guy but being around that in my job just what I’ve heard
Thank you for sharing your story sir. I have all of the respect in the world for anyone who tried Buds. Best of luck to you.
Booom
I got med dropped in basic once they realised i had a bleeding disorder, i wish ppl talked more about contact work
real reality check that I need to go harder.
Man, every time I listen to this I miss a part..He mentions that level of GRIT. Damn, My teaching tool for GRIT is [ Grow Resilience Into Toughness]. I listen to this over and over..I love it..I thank this guy for sharing..
BOOOOM 🔥
@@jakezweig , thanks Jake..👍🏽
Dude just didn’t prepare properly . It’s sad because his integrity is needed
Currently on a Jake Zweig Buds failure binge. Really good to learn from the other side.
Yes sir
The bottom line is that majority of people
(75% and above) who begin BUD/S Training
either will quit or they will fail.
Also...
you have to APPLY in order to go to BUD/S
and pass that screening-process first
and that Screening-process is no joke.
Point being...
the fact that every applicate who
successfully makes it to Corondo,
boots on the pavement for Training-Day-1,
is a pretty solid individual.
So...
to think that 75% or more washout
is a testament to just how relentless
(and brutal) that attrition rate is.
I argue that you can get to day 1 and not be ready physically. Then there are the large group that can not handle the stress of being in the program.
@@jakezweig
Strange how an applicant
can successfully pass the
initial BUD/S screening test...
but not be physically ready
by the time they do arrive at Coronado.
IYHO...
do you think that the Initial Screening Test
gives a false sense of hope or security
or is otherwise lacking??
Do You think the IST should be made
harder and more difficult to pass??
@@jwsmith1470 1.5 test run 500 yard swim then you get to Bud and 4 mile test and a 2mile swim are the test the run is 166% great and the swim is a waooping 800% great now fins don't make that big of difference
Your videos are extremely motivational. People can use these examples in civilian life.
Yes sir thank you
A man is not defined by his failures in life. A man is defined by his successes.
Absolutely always learning from Ls
Outstanding ! Reality will bite you in the ass if you not prepared. 12-p’s!!!
You do excellent work and provide outstanding content. However, in my personal opinion this is the BEST video you've done. I admire you for allowing someone to tell that things don't always workout. Admire the guy's guts to tell. You provide excellent motivational content. I'm in my 60's X military. Sometimes things just don't workout and these kids today need to hear reality. Rock on Man!
Thank man !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yea I wrestled in high school when I was in middle school I spent hours n hours balling hay. Worked concrete later and I know I couldn't pass that test. Still served on the IKE CVN 69. Never was brave enough to go get crushed. Takes a special kind of mindset.
It was not that big of dela
That's true about boot camp. It makes the strong weak and the weak strong ish.
Another great program Jake Zweig .I served over a decade in the army. Its a special kind of person to served in any special operations. I have much respect for those guys. Also.served in Iraq with the first infantry division. I'm glad you are breaking things down about Seal and special operations training. I Jake I remember you from.the show dude you are screwed.
Thanks for coming over here to watch this crazyness
He definitely should have waited 6 months. He should have been on beast mode in the gym, running the miles, got to some huge body of natural water and put on fins 2 or 3 times a week, made sure he was in compliance with any and all known to the public requirements they have. You know these folks are going to try to deprive you, rip you apart, and break you.
I learn from mistakes not success. Idk why but thanks for this
Str8 🔥 telling ya rn you do not want to be undesignated man
10000000%
Great video with a great personal story. Thank you both for sharing.
Thank you
This sht is as important if not more important 4 future prospects wanting this life. These dudes actually went to buds. Good on u Jake 4 prioritizing these life lessons.
Thank you man
These videos make it easier for the next young man to get through Buds.
No such thing man
Just for context, I'm a 62 year old, 1 enlistment former Army Huey mechanic.
I know every dude that starts BUD/S knows that most people will fail. And those that don't make it shouldn't be embarrassed. A thousand or so try, hundreds pass. How many thousands of others just talk about it, but don't even have the brass ones to show up.
Two other things struck me about this video:
A. The guy got out of Navy Boot Camp OUT of shape... what? Maybe not in BETTER shape given the training he'd done, but worse? Someone in the training command should be embarrassed.
B. They need to figure out a way to have some people that some familiarity with SEALs working with these guys when they go to the fleet. I actually got pissed that a bunch of Chairborn Warriors who's big achievement for the day was not spilling their coffee were treating a guy that went after a goal like that, and put in some serious work to get ready for it, as if he were a loser.
Yah man it is a crazy dynamic if you don't make it
can't imagine how many people you've saved...... thank you for setting up future SEALs for success
100000% Saved from the chippping paint monster
Don’t join any military just to do one thing give yourself options like officer route via college. Mature in the military as a officer then look at Spc-Ops. However, in the Army there’s so many opportunities in the Spc-Ops community.
PREACH!¡!!!
Yeah there's so many special ops units in the army, especially when you look at USASOC and SMU.. the oppurtunity is there beyond SF, Ranger, and SEALS.. theres CA, Psyops, EOD and other classified units. There's alot of BUDs Duds that go army and become very successful in very elite and respected units
I will have to agree with some of this… but no one who has completed any kind of selection will tell you it was their physical ability that put them through. It’s important that if you are going to buds in the future that observe that attitude of someone who didn’t make it. Someone who wants it refuses to quit no matter what, a navy seal is an average man with an extraordinary mind.
yah GRIT
Real talk.. thanks Jake
I was in pretty good shape before boot camp, after that and especially after school I was completely out of shape! Best thing to do is get to your first command, make sure it's shore duty, THEN start crushing it for about 6 months!
Yes sir good luck with that request
It's tough to come back from an injury for any athlete...not just the physical side and rehab. but the psychological journey. SEAL training is not for everyone....being physically fit is not enough. They want people who just won't quit under any circumstances. Thanks for sharing...that took some courage. Others will benefit from your experience. Drive on...
OUTSTANDING TALK!
Thank you please share it
I remember when I was in boot camp, our swim test was conducted by Navy Seals. They were intimidating AF!!!!! Wow! They were intense!! Had jokers squealing like lil girls!
True facts
Speaks TONS about this man's character, just for having made the attempt. He made the commitment to at least try to serve his country at the highest level. On top of that, he was man enough to admit to himself that it wasn't for him. At least not at that time in his life. It's not for everyone. If it was and was easy, then everyone would be Seals / SF. He's one of about 5 people in the world that actually quit BUD/S. Everyone else was med dropped, apparently. Mad respect and be proud that you at least tried and that you're still serving!
GREAT DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What these applicants have to understand is these Navy Recruiters are recruiting for the Navy, not the SEALS. They are to meet shipping goals for the Big Navy.
YES they are and they use the SEAL carrot to get them suckers in the door!!!
The big man himself has dropped another bomb ass video
BOOOOOOOOOOOM
I joined DEP last June and got a good taste of recruiters and NSW mentors. My one and only pst was pretty mediocre, minimum push-ups, sit ups, run, 15 pull ups and then I had a decent swim time of 9 minutes. And boy did they blow smoke up my ass, recruiters said I had excellent scores and offered me a contract and that I could ship out as soon as I graduate High School. I called up my mentors and said I’m not ready, they spent awhile trying to convince me and that’s when the straight lies started popping up. They said if I quit now when I graduate and go off to college, if I wanted to come back they’d accept me back in the Navy but I wouldn’t be allowed to try for any special warfare jobs anymore. Just a lot of different BS. So I DEPed out, I’ve got a long time before I make any decision. But yeah that’s just my little experience.
YUP you have to watch that smoke
You just made the best choice of your life.
DONT RUSH
Not a seal but I enjoy your videos!
Was a marine from 09-13. Just did my 4 and got out. Defitnely wasn’t as hard as buds but it had its moments. Props to this guy from coming on here and doing this, takes alot to do this.

Appreciate your videos. I'm 36 now and when I was 19 I could have maybe maybe done RASP. You have showed me that at no matter your age consistency and extra work is paramount.
Don’t fool yourself, maybe maybe done RASP, RASP is a special operations selection it is not easier, it’s a different type of hard.
Good honest talk. I passed the entry test (2x) but never went to a class - I wasn't sure if I could even though I had none of the outside issues (family, school) to distract me

This Talk helped me in more ways than one👊🏾👍🏾🔥
I know I don't have the mental fortitude to even think of buds. I really love the honesty and truth telling from Jake and his guests especially.
Lessons to learn...Pllllllleeaassee listen to Jake.
I appreciate you, Jake.
I appreciate you, E5 guy.
Save as much money as you possibly can while you’re in.
If you don’t have one already, try to get a physically active rate, so you can continue with your track record of constantly moving your body.
If I was in your position, I’d try to go SeaBee BU, or any of the SeaBee rates to stay outdoors, on land, and to keep my body moving like it’s used to doing.
I hear they have interesting and enjoyable deployments in unique places, also.

I was a BU. I loved it. You definitely stay busy with projects.
Nobody likes a quitter.. Fuck that.. There is NO SUCH THING as putting out 101%. You can ONLY give 100% and that 100% is ALL GRIT like you did. Zweig, Thanks for this video. This is REAL and Yes.. Dude, keep your head up and move on. Semper-Fi
Fire for effect
One of Jake’s best videos
Dude may have quit but sounds like he is doin great in the fleet. E5 in 3 yrs is good for any branch....
I wish I’d taken the time to research prior to entering the navy. I fell for the old you can tell them you want to be a seal in boot camp. Lol.
I did, too.
I got sent to separations on processing day-4.
22 days on my DD214.
Bad man
Respect for being honest
Thanks man, this was helpful.
I’d love to see you do a review of the Buds 234 documentary that was on the discovery channel.
That is a great one
My cousin was a SEAL for 12 years but prior to that he served a 4 year stint in Marine Corp infantry..definetly helped him out making thru Buds..maybe if more dudes would do something like that before they try..just a thought
HE PUT IN WORK
Awesome content. Water makes cowards out of most men.
Never heard it put that way
However, despite him ringing the bell, he should prep himself again. However, the key is if he really wants it, he gotta do try again. Failure is not an option if his heart is in it . Thats a testament to the Seals. Its not for anyone; its only for the best in my opinion. I was just a 11-b infantry grunt. But I wad the best goddamn infantry grunt

TRUTH FACTS
Awesome discussion! Really great.
I have watched many different channels and videos about making SEALS. The one quality that pervades the men that make it through...they trust that the trainers will challenge them to a safe limit. Most importantly...the trainees..and actual SEALS put their mission before their life. They have no fear of death. I have heard severel combat hardened SEAL say that in the moment..they "didnt care if they lived or died." Thats what the instructors are looking for.
WHAT !!! I saw 15 to 20 people get CPR and the class behind me had 2 deaths.....THERE IS NO TRUST YOU MUST BE WILLING TO DIE
@@jakezweig You have experience in the teams. My knowledge comes from having one in the family...and listening to DOZENS of them relay their experience. You are the only one that I ever heard say that the TRAINING is unsafe. I cant imagine that injuries wont happen when men are pushed to their limit. The lack of fear of dying...in combat...is talked about on almost every podcast site. Maybe they are all making it up but you know differently.
@@rogerwhiting9310 it is part of the life.....safe and needed do not go together....I will say thing nothing in training is extra....if you didn't have SEAL would die in the teams. The teams don't have safety life guards.
Mmmkay bruh make mmmkay camo t shirts im buying a few bro much respect
Working on it!
@@jakezweig 💪💪 we’re waiting
Everyone is hurt always. Everyday. Train around the injury. Gotta want it.
No question about that
Is 29 too old. My pull ups and push ups are well above the challenge numbers for any age. I’d just have to get running and swimming down. Wasn’t Riveria 33 when he did it guy was an absolute animal.
He had been to buds 4 times I believe
You better have your times flying because your recovery is going to suck and your going to get slower
@@jakezweighow the hell does this happen. Is this even allowed anymore
@@Jojodabaker12 what allowed?
So I have a question sort of I guess. I believe that by the time buds class 300, it will be so predictable and candidates would be much more prepared or schooled about the course. Most of the older generation 70's or 80's, and early 90's had no prep course or anyone holding their hands (showing them the tricks of the trade). Back in the day, most showed up at buds with little prep-work and they had natural grit and determination. They may have done some PT on their own or with their buddies for a couple months. These older generation went through the course were a different breed I guess (super genes), they don't make them like that anymore. It seems like now days, you can almost get a 2-year degree in Bud's training and predict whats going to happen next - this includes the naval academy. The colleges and academies have extensive prep courses (to toughen them up before hand) to get them ready so that they can handle the physical / mental aspects and they also have an idea whats going to happen next. But I believe that they maybe physically prepared to pass the course but the mental (strength) aspect is somewhat lacking. I dont want to stir up anything but just think about it, compare the a young buds graduate from class 100 vs class 299 with associates degree in Bud/s training. I believe the class 100 graduate would possess the mental strength and ability to handle changing/un-predictable environments - better at overcoming adversity at all levels. The older generation had to adapt physically and mentally, no prepping at all and they probably got hammered for it too. So if a young guy was motivated and wanted to join a special operations unit and he has gone through extensive prep courses -- does he (she now days) set himself up to experience something less predictable or less mental taxing. I am Just curious to know what others think.
Prep course do not help unless you have the GRIT, you can know everything about the pipeline and still have no chance. It is to hard for most people
Is it a such thing as special people to go in clean and get out clean?
“People out here playing cod thinking they could run a top Steve for 40 minutes in the real world” lol oh lol OL
YAH MAN
Why were you at the recruitment office if you were not ready?
Good stuff man
He is right....a BUDS quitter is still way above average in the world and will still be very successful.....nothing to be ashamed of at all....some do some don't some can't...you got to find YOUR way in this world....SEALS have problems too they are not immune.....
This is fantastic thanks to both this trainee and Jake. Wish this guy the best of luck
