- Andy was born and raised in Northern California. From the age of 11 he knew that he wanted to become a Navy SEAL, and it became the single driving force in his life. He enlisted in the Navy while still a Junior in high school, entering military service in 1996. After completing boot camp he began the most grueling training program in the US Military - Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL, known as BUD/s. Nearly 90% of all candidates are unsuccessful completing the six month program. Andy graduated and began his SEAL career attached to SEAL Team Five, in Coronado California. In 2002 he screened for and joined the most elite counterterrorism unit in the military, SEAL Team Six. This unit is tasked with conducting the nation's most critical missions, many of which have become the focus of Hollywood movies and books. While on a combat deployment an Iraqi insurgent shot Andy at close range with an AK-47. Doctors told him it would be years, if ever, before he recovered the use of his leg and returned to full active duty. In 2006, Andy returned to the Naval Special Warfare Center as the Leading Petty Officer for 2nd Phase BUD/s training. While completing his two year instructor tour, in charge of 13 senior SEAL instructors and 600 students, Andy submitted his package to become a commissioned officer. In 2008, he became the first E-6 selection commissioned through the Limited Duty Officer Program in the history of Naval Special Warfare. Upon commissioning, he joined SEAL Team Three and completed his final combat tour to Afghanistan. Throughout his 17-year career, Andy executed hundreds of combat operations throughout the world in support of the Global War on Terror. He was medically retired in June of 2013. His awards and decorations include 5 Bronze Star Medals (Four with Valor), the Purple Heart, the Joint Service Commendation Medal, The Navy and Marine Corp Commendation Medal with Valor, Three Navy and Marine Corp Achievement Medals, Two Combat Action Ribbons, and the presidential Unit Citation.

I've always respected Andy's no-BS straight-shooter approach. Unlike most SEALs, he doesn't hype the SEAL community, but rather lays down the good with the bad without pulling punches.
“Unlike most seals”? Bruh you mean the tiny fraction of albeit loud seals we see in the public eye?
They aren't movie super heroes. People need to understand that they are all human beings. Thry have flaws, weaknesses and strengths. These guys are just very good at managing those things. The rest of us are not so good at it.
@BatmanNoriega-jf7zlHow can you talk with Andy’s balls in your mouth?
Not to mention he is pretty clever if you listen to what he is saying.
A lot of dick jokes.
You can tell he's been some type of trainer or instructor.
Andy's sense of humor is absolutely tier 1.
The 😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅😊😅😅😅😊
Sarcasm is his primary weapon system
Oh my God yess! Im so dumb. When he said "i traded him for a 5.56 round" i thought he meant that literally like he was offering him a loose round with his hand until the monkey dropped the GPS and took the round instead. Then i later realised that that meant he shot him.😂 I laughed for a good 30 seconds when i realised how he meant that. He got me for a second😂
Eat an entire large bag of ducks! ☠️
Nice pun
Funny how people always forget that this dude was a tip of the spear. Sure, his comedy and fact that he isn't talking about it like others do but, generally speaking a truly remarkable human being. Andy Stumpf is something else.
I didn’t know until recently that andy stumpf (seal team 6 gold squad) got shot on the same op as tyler grey (delta force Cag) got blown up on,they need to get on a podcast and piece their sides of that night.
@@ogspermcellidk if Tyler would be so willing. Apparently was mentioned in the SRS his injury was a charge set by friendly forces which his Unit was working with Andy's team at that op.
@@finaljustice3848 yeah on Andy’s podcast w sean evangelista (he was the one that tended to Andy’s wounds) they go a bit in-depth from their perspectives to piece their version of events together. It’s really good it’s the first podcast w sean evangelista,on jocko Andy talks about how his team set the breach that injured another unit (Delta).
@@ogspermcell remember which episode it was, the first or the second one with Sean?
Wtf did you just say ?!?
The Canseco reference 100% validates Andy as a bro from the Bay.
Andy is the most down to earth, self-deprecating guy on CZcams. Tremendously enjoyable to listen to.
Andy, my ex-husband of 25 yrs served on the PBR Mark I, ‘66-‘67, on the Mekong Delta. He also inserted and supported Seals. Extremely rough duty. We are friends but he is still suffering in silence although has curtailed some of the drinking. The Vietnam combat vets had no help and were not appreciated when they returned home. Their sacrifice is immense. “We the people” should love and support our vets. They give us the freedoms that we enjoy today.🇺🇸 Excellent content, thanks gentlemen!
Sadly the current climate and generation are to arrogant and ignorant to see or appreciate this……
All they care about is tomorrows pronouns and reparations for a useless ethnicity that are destroying liberal shitholes……
My dad was on the pbr in 68 to 69 and he is all screwed up from the war .
@@toddak47 Todd, my ex has been home for 56 years and still battles his demons. A sound, smell or feeling causes him to react. He is hyper-vigilant, nervous, lacks empathy, is uncommunicative and angers easily. Never speaks of his service but is proud that he served. The war follows our vets home so I am well aware of what you endured as a child growing up with a combat veteran Dad.
@@sheilalarkin1291 Same with my father in and out of prison haven't heard from him in 30 years . I worked with a vet that was on the pbrs and they have a association for the men that served on the boats and have reunions once a year or so . Might look into it and see if your x would go could be healing for him to be around the men that share same service .
@@sheilalarkin1291Your description of your ex..is an eerie and accurate description of my father's behaviour. He was a decorated pilot in WW2 and the Korean War. Our family did not escape his war experiences. I did not. For 60+ years things that he allowed to happen to me in my childhood.. I felt they were my fault, that I was no good..well, no longer thank God and doing the hardcore self analysis sh*t work..and thank you for your honest appraisal of life with a combat vet. It wasn't easy..
Andy Stumpf and Chris Van Sant are definitely my favorite two tier one dudes.
100%..Andy is a legit allstar in tier 1 but he tells it like he's average. Vasant same thing. He tells a funny story.
But who is your one favorite tier two guy
I have incredible respect for Andy for giving props to the intel staff and other support staff that make the very dramatic missions possible for the operators .
That’s real leadership.
Let’s see how these navy seals do against Russia, China, Korea..... were not fighting untrained middle eastern men anymore lol
@@B-G556Bro these "untrained middle eastern men" ur talking sbout were dangerous asf and they handed the russians their ass and eventually wore down US troops aswell. Sure the coalition units had better gear, funding and more sophisticated training but they knew the terrain and took a whole bunch of our best dudes down with them. Something tells me u didnt serve and ur monday morning quarterbacking like crazy coz nobody that was actually down range would have such a cavaleer attitude about these "unTraiNed MIddLeeAsTErN mEn". Douchebag! And if we do fight up close and personal in this next war(as opposed to by proxy). I would almost bet money that I wont see u there so humble urself. Dick!
@@B-G556They’ll do just fine. Just as against those Middle Easterners. US SOF units suffered very few tactical defeats in both of those wars. They aren’t the ones that pick ultimate strategy in which the country’s military will move in. That is done by our weak leadership in government and politicians. They are the only force strong enough to make the greatest military force ever in history look completely inadequate due to the imbecile decisions they made and continue to make!
@@B-G556bring it on !
@@B-G556well since Russia seems to be performing so well in Ukraine, I think we have a pretty good handle on their abilities. China is another matter but I have great faith in our war fighters.
Andy is the SEAL all SEALs should be like. He's hard on the community and knows about the BS and call's them on it often. A true leader and smart man. He has a way of thinking about things that'll hit people like "that's wye opening and better than the way i though about it" total stud and legend of the Navy
I’d be willing to bet some of those stories are “sexy”. Dudes just too humble to give himself credit, preferring to give the light to others. Respect
Andy stumpf is probably the 1 guy on javelin and skydiving
#thetrifecta
Carl gustav
His story about blowing people up with a javelin and just taking a nap after is inane lmao
lol, "I spent my time carrying around a .300WinMag and a Javelin and shooting them both at people." They could replace all recruiting commercials with just that statement
😅
You know you’ve reached the top of your game to finally have Andy on your show ;)
how so, you get guests by asking them.....not by scaling the heights of olympus
Andy's advice about making lists of stuff you don't want to do, and valuing your own time really hit home for me.
I appreciate Andy's intelligence, level of experience and knowledge. He has said too many things in this interview alone that I had to sit and think about and ultimately agree with. It's rare to have a person who is confident and humble at the same time and who has the expertise to speak upon things in a matter of fact way at the same time admit to not having all the answers.
Andy is so the real deal. He speaks so beautifully and clearly...love his intelligence, bravery and sincerity. Bless you Andy.
I broke my spine in 2007 and his description of how he felt after he got shot in the hip because of the sciatic nerve issue is so spot on. I have definitely told people that it felt like somebody took a baseball bat to my leg and my lower back. Nerve pain is such a B. It took years of physical therapy and procedures and medication defined the right combination where I could live a normal life again. Yeah I definitely feel for this man and hope he has figured it out.
I broke my neck in 2015 and the nerve pain has really f*cked me up, definitely the worst part of being paralyzed [for me].
Really glad you guys did this one.. Andy seems like a truly decent dude, really likeable, and his podcast is only growing and refining itself week by week.. I tend to put you guys in the same category *and* quality level, and it's been great to watch both of your podcasts see success and growth.. I only wish all of you guys continued success and health and happiness going forward.
Andy is one seal who holds the title very seriously and calls out the BS no matter who it is. His honor man was caught robbing a hooters after murdering some people, holds the world record for skydiving in a wing suit, rescued Jessica Lynch and eliminated many terrorist trash
Wtf! 😅
...link please 🙏
@@kxkxkxkxpopo medic did a video on it if you still haven't heard of it but it's on one of his many podcasts and I can't pinpoint it but it's cleared hot or BRCC
Had no idea Andy was in devgru! That’s awesome! Thanks to all vets out there
Team 6, really, I’ve been listening to Andy on and off for 2 years (?) and I never heard him mention Team 6! That speaks volumes.
He’s mentioned it numerous times, but doesn’t base his personality on it. He’s got plenty of his podcasts that have segments of his time at the command. You should check it out!
Im so dumb. When he said "i traded him for a 5.56 round" i thought he meant that literally like he was offering him a loose round with his hand until the monkey dropped the GPS and took the round instead. Then i later realised that that meant he shot him.😂 I laughed for a good 30 seconds when i realised how he meant that. He got me for a second😂
I remember walking to Oceana and a Devgru guy pulled up in a grey Toyota pick up and drove me to the hangar. Snow stacked up I was very thankful. He asked me why I didn't try out. Cool dude I'd help him any day
Old Toyota pickup?
I wonder if it was Beausoleil.
You can tell he’s a seal with his amazing hair. It’s standard issue
Along with the product to make it look that way 😂😂😂
Don't forget the board shorts and flip flops.😁😂
I heard he’s got a book on the way too ❤
I think the hair thing is a basic right for these guys. Could be used as a weapon!
I luv all these comments. Whos gonna play Andy in his movie? Who u got? Lets have some casting options😂
Unexpected episode but a welcomed one !
He even wanted the intro 🥲
This was well worth my time. Enjoyed every minute. Thanks fellas!!
Good one! Cool to see 2 of my fave’s come together🤙🏼🇺🇸
Dude is so humble talking about takin a round in the hip while going after a HVT in country…. Andy is a legend!
Such a cool episode, loved seeing Andy on my favorite podcast. Keep it up guys.
I've noticed that most SEALS and or SF you interview all had low GPA in high school. It's interesting for me even because I had just the bare minimum in school grade wise to be accepted into law school at Georgetown. I ended up 18 years as an Army JAG lawyer however, my first 6 years was enlisted as a MP at Stewart & Drum
I had mediocre High School GPA mainly because I was super unmotivated.
When I actually made it into a Comp Sci program at Uni(by the skin of my teeth). That completely changed because I was in a subject I loved.
I assume that if you wanted nothing other than to be SEAL/SF etc from a young age. You're basically on autopilot during school and focusing more on conditioning your body for BUDS/Selection/RASP.
Let’s see how these navy seals do against Russia, China, Korea..... were not fighting untrained middle eastern men anymore lol
commandergorb8641 Why are you worried about it?
@@B-G556eastern men were veterans to numerous wars. They didn’t have the tech that we have, but they damn sure knew how to fight, and knew how to fight well.
I think alot of us got bored, honestly.
And this sounds horrible but if a recruiter wouldve walked into my 11th grade math class and said "you can quit high school right now if you enlist" I woulda been out the door like a virgin on prom-night.
I'm sure alot of guys wouldve too.
I’m not in the military, I work in healthcare and hearing this gentleman talk about his experiences without sugar coating it is genuinely fascinating. Additionally, he’s matter of fact and seems to be a down to earth guy who’s making a name for himself by putting in the time!
A good friend was a Master-Chief in the Sea-Bees at Port H. (CA) He retired in ‘12, I believe. He recommended an E-4/5 for a Commission and that guy went to San Diego.
I believe my friend deployed 7 times… much respect to all of you guys !!!
😂 “There was a fucking monkey in my backpack and had taken my GPS and was up in a tree with it, so I traded him for a 5.56 round” dude I’m fucking 💀
Glad you had Andy on. Solid interview fellas 🇺🇸
Great interview, glad y’all connected
Andy is a cool guy. I enjoyed a convo with him.
Fantastic series of questions by Jack and Dave.
BIG fan of this man. Every second he spends talking in public is a win for our country. PS: nice fucking hair, not fair.
Great interview! I love Andy; so unassuming.
Just another great show! Appreciate it fellas!
And my is one of the most articulate team guys I’ve ever heard speak. Always good content!
I absolutely love his pod cast
Great show and awesome guest. Prayers for his success
Love my Seamaster, great podcast guys!
Andy is such a stud!!! Great interview guys. Keep it up!!!!
Hopefully Andy's visit brings far more followers to this channel.
It blows my mind how this channel is so small considering the stories told and the guests that have beem on.
Like early marvel comics...slept on while they rack up hundreds of incredible stories, every one of which could make several awesome movies if handled correctly 🎉 plus the audience is also excellent
Exactly. They’ll get their recognition one day.
Straight legends. Ty for your service
Let's drink to the team house getting bigger. You guys deserve it. David and Jack seem like some of coolest down to earth dudes around.
Team House getting bigger… any bigger and Dave is going into labor.
@@veritas6466 lmfao
Wanted this one for a long time. Very interesting gentleman, never thought I'd see cause of Brendan Webb so respect
Mike Glover is the one who swore never to collab with Brandon or Jack.
Which I Actually respect him for. Cause I'm pretty sure SOFREP was bigger than Fieldcraft at the time
@@vitigaymer1053 Andy had a few episodes detailing his issues with Webb and SOFREP. I like the Team House podcast and Cleared Hot and I really appreciate them having Matthew Cole on. It shows a lot of integrity to have a civil in depth discussion with someone you may not agree with and I learned a lot from it
Great episode as always gents.
Outstanding show as always.
On a lighter note Andy with no baseball hat so formal 😂😅😂.
God bless Andy Jack Dave thank you for your service keeping the tradition going and your channels podcasts.
Notice the new way the military is recruiting. Ex-Spec.Ops guys just telling awesome stories and how great it was to be a badass.
All of these podcasts are part of this.
Project Mockingbird.
They should be paying us then
@TheTeamHousePodcast Ya absolutely.
Most people don't know how a lot of this stuff works other than just thinking you march and shoot guns.
Explaining how these MOS work and how to qualify for these positions was very helpful to hear.
They pay much better than the average enlisted too.
I thought you had to be a E-10 to male 60k+ .
What
Tier 1 operators are ALWAYS so humble, straight-forward and honest....even when nobody would know the difference if they 'fibbed'!
Lets not go that far. Andy is the exeption not the rule. There is a lot of bullshitting that goes on at damneck. The Sixers will tell u that themselves, even whiteside do a lot of fibbing like marcus luttrell for example. Lets not take this away from Andy.
Rob O'Neil might be on that list. In tje book Alone at Dawn Dan Schilling talked about how John Chapman, an Air Force Combat Controller, recieved the MOH but there wads alot of behind the scenes conniving by ST6 to keep it from him. It's a bad story and worth looking up.
I feel the exact opposite, very few DEVGRU are humble, Andy is the exception.
Nothing but respect for Mr. Stumpf and you all. Keeping our shit safe in life our familiies and shit. Props.
Love listening to you guys. Great energy and insight. Andy is so well spoken its ridiculous. Well done!
Andy really grows on you. At first I thought he acted like he was smarter and better than everybody else. After further observation I realized that he is in fact better than the rest of us. #tier1human 😂 🇺🇲🙏🏻💪🏻
It’s his bone-dry sense of humor.
“Cause men aren’t allowed to have feelings, they just go build things with their bare hands. Or tear things down.”
I’m 28, and I can relate to that way more than I want to.
Love Andy and all Navy Seals!...you guys are awesome.....
Andy is so smart and brings it.
DAMMIT MICHAEL!

Yes he is finaly here!
I don't know if there's ever been anyone cooler and more down to earth to announce themselves as a Richard Marcinco SEAL Team 6 member. Seriously appreciate this guy. His demeanor makes me smile. Guys a MF'ing DAWG, and always a hype intelligent conversation to listen to. LOL! I did delayed entry too..and completely think the same thing. But coming out of bootcamp an E-3 pay grade does matter. But no one could ever explain my "WHY" for enlisting in the Navy and taking that path. Andy is about a year before me. I wish I would have met him when I was there.
don't know how you feel about it. but you need tp do a podcast with Shawn Ryan. You're an awesome human being. More people willl trust get it once they listen to you. You've saved a lot of lives man. Your delivery of facts is soooooooooo honest most people don't realize it.
Ive watched what I think is almost every single podcast Andy has done Rogan on down the line. This is almost certainly the most honest full forward interview ive ever seen him done.
Great interview, super interesting stuff. As a pasty IT nerd lady whose most important job characteristic, as measured in third grade, was "work in an air conditioned place", the exact same age as Andy, fascinating to hear about a totally different path through the world.
We all do our part ( in whatever ur field of employment is) As long as u work hard,ur disciplined,treat people right then that's all u can do.And we all have a story!,
Great interview
I always like to hear Andy talk about things....
Love Andy Strumpf . . . just no non-sense and honest.
I love Andy dudes hilarious 😂 🤣
glad to see you brought jack back 😅
If this guy played a special forces operator in a movie people wouldn't buy it because he's too perfect.
Just found this channel. Military special ops guys telling really stories and just being real men! I love 💘you heroes...kisses ❤!
I can listen to this guy talk for a long time.
Love the cross over content!
I’ve noticed all these seal team guys talk way faster than regular people.
He speaks at normal pace. You might be from the south...
Brain is set to a very high rate of work, years of high stress.
Andy is smoother than water laid across a rock.
I’m Ukrainian operator. I wood love to b on their show. I started out as a reconnaissance specialist in the naval infantry «Marines», 36th brigade of the 501st battalion. I went to the Q course for SOF in 2016 as one of the first classes to go thru our new SOF course. I have 7 rotations to Donbas and now 4 rotations around Ukraine since 24 February full scale invasion. Im On rotation now and I love this show during down time. That wood be cool if they invited me on the show once I retire and can show my face and reveal my name
Stay safe and good hunting.

Great episode. I watch both podcasts. And some podcast from some dude who wakes up at 0430 every morning.
Interesting that Buds now does peer review like ranger school and similarly now all rangers (officer and enlisted) go to RASP together like in Buds 👍 good to see best practices spread
Great video. I would love to see chapters, though, if possible.
Could listen to Andy all day. Tier 1 classic
Big time respect to Mustangs everywhere! Andy is a contender for BadazzMoFo
Legend
I was an OS in the Navy. His sense of humor is definitely OS caliber. Every single OS I have served with including myself, have his sense of humor
pure class
I respect both podcasts and their respective host(s).
I'm impressed but not shocked to see these two shows crossover and cross promote.
Good on you folks.
Andy, can you please sign my Jack Carr books...maybe as Jocko or Glover?
Great dude

Keep up the great work Jack #DOL #RLTW #ATW
The DEP program allowed me to start my time in service from the time I signed up and this gave myself 11months in service before I ever went through basic.
Dang he didnt talk about the bar incident. That one is legendary!
@1:44:25 B Webb 😅
Still remember his talltales of sniper ops in Afghanistan - stalking and assasinating Taliban Commanders on SOFREP.
Then his spotter, Chris Osman comes out and completely debunks it. Revealing they didnt fire a round the entire deployment.
Woah, I’ve known about Andy for ever now, and I never realized he was devgru.
Andy is a bad ass !
❤❤❤ Brings back memories all the time
❤How did Iforget so much❤
Stumpf is a very interesting veteran! I like his don't give a damn approach.
Man I hope he tells The Tandem Terp story 😂
He tells it in one of his podcast episodes. It’s hilarious

@56:34 … That’s pretty fuckin cool. Although I’m not 100% on this, I’m pretty sure he’s referring to using SIGINT related platforms to triangulate bad guys cell phones.
This was such a fuckin cool podcast! . Andy is the best 💯
