I lost my dream job over a year ago and took a massive hit from it. I never thought i would try and get back into it again but about 6 months ago i found DJ and the GBRS family and have been working towards it again. Working out everyday, journaling and studying for tests. This channel and family has made me 1% better everyday and thanks to DJ and his experiences i have a oral board on the 13th for my dream job. Thank you for making me believe in myself again.
Had the pleasure of meeting DJ at the Danny Dietz memorial here in Texas two years ago. Cole and Shawn Ryan were among several Elite Warriors that attended. All phenomenal dudes!!!! 💪 Cheers Brother - Happy New Year 🍻
Anything gbrs group puts out I listen to. These guys are true hero’s. We’re lucky to hear their stories. Happy new year. Also where do I go to donate or join. Thanks again.
I've been obsessively listening to DJs story over the last 2 months... I don't really know or understand why but something just clicks in my head when I listen to this man talk. So damn rights I'm gonna listen to his story again. Happy new year guys
Happy New Year Brother, to you, yours, and the rest of the GBRS Group family. I'm getting out of Rehabilitation this Friday the 3rd and have been walking without a cane now for one month. Doctors told me that I would never walk again, one year later, walking a mile a day. Giving that 1% every day, thanks to the content you guys put out.
I normally watch UA-cam at 2x speed but I had to take this to normal to soak it in. Awesome story! I can’t wait for the next installment. Thank you for your service brother.
Great documentary! Looking forward to Chapter 2! Listening to DJ and Cole helps me so much with my day to day! Manny, great work with the BTS!!! Hope to meet you gentlemen one day and just shake your hand! From NN!
I was recovering from acl surgery and watched Dj’s SRS interview and just hearing about how he deals with pressure n stress ect ect really help fortify my mental health while recovering would love the chance too train with him n Cole.
I have been waiting for a longer episode of this kind of content for a while now, thank you DJ for sharing these portions of your life, You're an inspirational god to a lot of guy's man. I'm so glad I found that Shawn Ryan Show I'll never forget that 3 hours. It changed my life ❤
God bless GBRS! Happy new year! We've watched this interview with my three older brothers, time well spent. Thank you for taking your time to share with us.
What an insane training evolution. Much respect to those who become some of the greatest warriors on the planet. Salute to Navy Seal DJ Shipley, GBRS Group and all the SPEC OPS community. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice. HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🇺🇸🫡
In outdoor recreational sports such as bass angling now in competition, we are witnessing the first ever kind of 'Spartan' breeds of young folk come through the competition system, who are shoving the older competitors aside. And to use a phrase that Mike Ritland uses in battle, he talks about using all of the advantages, stack the decks, he doesn't want to have 'a fair fight' when it is about survival in battle. Sonar in pro competitive fishing is kind of like 'night vision' optics (one angling tournament director at the NPFL who was a helicopter pilot in navy said he recognizes some of the tech now coming through in fishing, at shows or Expo's in 2024 (where you move your head to look in a direction and the sonar scope on the boat does the same). That existed on the helmets of pilots decades ago. He explained that rattled him, and he banned sonar technology on his competitions for 2025. There is huge conversation about that in fishing, these Spartans now 'who only fish' and nothing else. What is this young generation of sports people in fishing that we've created. Is it for the good, or bad? Galloup a veteran angler who related to younger people who worked as guides for his guide business over the years, Galloup talks about needing to re-invent and not become disillusioned, or burned out with the occupation (he described a personality, a little like DJ's were one is looking always for new ways to invent, or think about what we do). That personality can sustain a career in fishing guiding over a longer period. Here is the issue with Galloup's idea (as an angler Galloup is a 'Leonardo Da Vinci' personality type, who floats around and tries out stuff to invent new ways to fish). The comedy 'skit' I would dearly like to see some time, is where Leonardo meets with his friendly 'human resources officer', who challenges him about his lack of application and focus. The young generation in competition, in sports are asked now to play along with the modern 'human resources management' culture (and yes, it's good at making the Spartans). Red Adair who worked 'in the oil industry' fell backways into his job calling (an explosion happened on a job pre- Second World War). Yeah, this guy Red was still around in Kuwait years later. His boss at the oil field in the late 30's said, Red it's not your job to put out the fire. To which Red responded, I don't know whose job it is, but someone's got to do it. Human Resources wouldn't have been impressed by his disregard for 'the org chart'. The talent today is trained not to branch into new stuff, just focus and dominate (stack the deck), in one thing. To the extent where competitive fishing uses tech used by fighter pilots.

Wasn't his Teammate he didn't even know him. And so, what? Death did them part. What was she NEVER supposed to meet anyone? And it makes sense it would be a SEAL being that's who she knows being a gold star member.
Sometimes when DJ talks about his childhood it sounds like his father set his life before he was born and he just road the rails to the job. He ended up in a good place, but I empathize that his parents walled off any other options when he tried to pursue them.
at the end he had a choice and pass it. When he joined the Navy @ 17 years old he was undesignated and NO SEAL contract. Meaning if he didn't pass the SEAL test at Boot Camp, he was going to the Fleet for 4 years in a different rate.
@@Jessyisfat462 Maybe he will. Its not to late he's so young he wouldn't even remember. No 1 knows what's going to happen with that and shouldn't it's no 1s business. for all we know he did fix that already
You definitely have no ideea how narcissists "operate". First off all narcissists have some really really bad vibes, I could spot it true the screen. GBRS it's nothing like that, It's the opposite. They seem to have a warm, family, fun, cool vibes. You should take from them what it's good for you, be thankful and move on.
DJ, you should do an episode with the difference and similarities between DEVGRU vs DELTA and end so much misinformation on social media. Be honest from your experienced . You have like 3 former Delta operators trashing publicly DEVGRU. I won't mention any names but they sure want to call attention. They compare Delta selection to BUDS instead of Green Team. I wonder why?
That seems to be a thing with old school Delta guys and no one who was in fairly recently. Some act like Green team just doesn't exist. But I do think it's weird how DEVGRU guys never have anything bad to say about Delta, but some Delta guys certainly have plenty to say about DEVGRU. That can be interpreted two ways though.
@@Tehz1359 I was a former Navy Sub Hunter with the P-3 Orion Squadron at the end of the Cold War. We didn't have another community from another branch doing the same thing or similar, so We never had any competition or rivalry for funds or missions like the SEALS do with the Army side. The only competition We had was from the different platforms within the community from P-3 Orion, S-3 Vikings, Helos but it was healthy and respectful. What I hear by some former Delta operators is not that they have an issue with a particular operator or operators but the whole DEVGRU community and make it sound like they are inferior to them but never give any details other than say Seals tryout for Delta but no Delta tryout for Seal when they know full well Navy doesn't make a path for Delta or anybody to crossover or compare Delta selection to BUDS and ignore Green Team exists. You would expect Tier 1 operators to know basic stuff if they are going to make comparison in public but for me, I'm interested to know the difference and similarities between DEVGRU and DELTA and why does JSOC has two TIER 1.

Dis delivery is actually inviting and welcoming.
He is probably a phenomenal instructor!
Are you in Virginia or California?
Virginia
Can Dj review the Bruce Willis movie “Tears of the Sun” wanted to know his realistic take on it how close it is to actually orders.
I have always equates DJ to King Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae.

DJ surely misses his dad. It’s quite clear that he deep down wants a relationship with Don. Reach out bro before it’s too late!
Dudes rule
Um Hum
SEALS are still the coolest to me. There's a different vibe about them and the culture.
They are the tightest compared to other communities.
Did he mention his kid he doesn’t raise, or marrying his dead ex teammates wife?
Wasn't his Teammate he didn't even know him. And so, what? Death did them part. What was she NEVER supposed to meet anyone? And it makes sense it would be a SEAL being that's who she knows being a gold star member.
T. woods????....... s if its same guy fukn stud! Didnt know how he passed. Fuk! He was a awesome guy. If same cat. Great human being.
Yes sir
Sometimes when DJ talks about his childhood it sounds like his father set his life before he was born and he just road the rails to the job.
He ended up in a good place, but I empathize that his parents walled off any other options when he tried to pursue them.

Too bad DJ won’t even acknowledge his kid Phoenix that he had out of wedlock with another Goldstar wife. He just hit it pop smoke and dipped.
@@Jessyisfat462 sounds like a personal issue that involves another adult that We have no details about.
@@Jessyisfat462 Maybe he will. Its not to late he's so young he wouldn't even remember. No 1 knows what's going to happen with that and shouldn't it's no 1s business. for all we know he did fix that already
This runs a fine line on narcissism.
That’s a chic word.
How?
You definitely have no ideea how narcissists "operate".

GBRS it's nothing like that, It's the opposite.
They seem to have a warm, family, fun, cool vibes.
You should take from them what it's good for you, be thankful and move on.
As Andy McNab said...... "were more like good psycopaths"

Dude sure loves the sound of his own voice. This is like the 12th DJ origin story video. 🙄
Then don’t listen.
Don’t worry bro someone will listen to you someday
What stories you got to tell me about hero? Exactly fuck all keep quiet and move on
We are glad to have you here.
And you heard them all huh? So don't listen to the 13th.
