I enjoyed your sea stories. I graduated Class 99 (Oct '78). I was a 32 yo Ensign so I was an old guy to my classmates. I laughed my ass off at your completely accurate description of the San Clemente cactus. During the FTX (Final Training eXercise), my squad was moving down a gully near Wilson's Cove. I stumbled and fell full stretch into one of those cactus patches. My guys pulled me out and we finished the op and the 7-mile patrol back to camp. My squadmates then had a fun time pulling over 500 cactus spines out of me. I had completely forgotten about that until your 3rd phase story. Hooyah 99. But the way, I served with Al Huey in UDT 11. He was a Senior Chief at was about to retire with 38 years of service. A real legend.
WOW ... I could listen to your stories for days and days !!! Sadly I'm hitting 73 and I wish that I could have become one of your personal friends but that's not in the cards !!! I truly hope that the people lucky enough to be close to you can understand and appreciate how unique and special you are !!! God Bless you for all that you have done and for what you continue to do for this Country and it's Constitution !!! Bobby Noll
So proud that my country has such brave, strong men. I mean mentally tough also. My nephew tried for Navy Seals but there was something wrong with his hips and he couldn’t do it. He was in every sport there is since he was about 6 years old, but came from a rich family and never had to face any hardship. From your videos I can see why he would struggle. I am 56 year old female but you are inspiring me to find ways to work mental and physical toughness training into my life. Thanks to all our military out there, vets and still serving.
Thank you for sharing that. Idk what @donramanayake1505 deal is. Being dramatic about someone else’s comments about their thoughts and experiences is really pathetic.
really interesting stories. i was a policeman for 30 years, but no military service. you guys deserve your reputations. that training is no joke and it takes some incredible tenacity and ability to weather hardship to complete. much respect...
You SEALS are the absolute best America has to offer and your sacrifice, heart, commitment, and determination is second to none. As a US Navy veteran (not a SEAL) I feel honored to have breathed the same air as some of you guys. Hooyah!!!
I enjoyed these videos on BUDS so much. I was a Marine and went through PI in 87. I’ve wished over the years that I’d gone the Navy route and tried the SEAL thing at some point. It’s something I’d love to know if I had what it took. Oh well, maybe another life. I do hate the frigging cold and for me, that sounds like the worst. I respect all you guys for being able to push yourselves through all that stuff. I could listen to your stories all day. Thanks for sharing it with us as well as your service in the world’s toughest military training.
I’m actually laughing out loud, knowing as you’re telling the running story what the consequences would be! Too funny! You’re a hero for doing this Channel. You’re helping many.
Thanks for the great content, Chadd. I enjoy hearing another country boy telling his story about his journey in the military. I appreciate you being a humble, Christian warrior. Appreciate ya, brother!💯🇺🇸
I like how the certificates are done by the simplest printing method, the simplest graphics, no fancy 5th colors, watermarks,.....yet everybody knows, how freaking precious this paper is for every owner.
Wow i went thru a cake walk in 1968 basic army training compared to the hell you went thru! You are a Superman! You are a rare breed! Thank you for all the great story time!😁
I never thought one day I would see a Navy SEAL with a ZZ top guitarist beard style (I know, Chadd is a former Navy SEAL but to me, once a SEAL always a SEAL). I'm kidding. I really appreciated to listen to you talking about what going through phase 3 of BUD/s does really mean and how challenging it can be. Keep up the good work 👍🏻.
I love hearing about every aspect of what you Navy SEALS go through in order to become SEAL! Very intense and educational! I'm sure you inspire quite a few young men to want to go into the teams and hopefully they will be better prepared than they would be if they hadn't heard what they're in for! for!!!
I enjoy your videos and can confirm there is no smoke blowing here. :-). I did not personally go through it by some of my blood has and it was like hitting replay on the stories. Thank you for your sacrifice and service. 🔱
Great listening to you man. Respect to your honesty and attitude. I was best man at a seals wedding years back. He never told me any stories. Just the way he was.
i enjoy listening to your stories!! my dad was in the navy during WW2...i remember alot of his stories, thank you for your service & for sharing these great tales from your past!!!
Respect to you sir, I spent 15 years in the RAF supporting special forces all over the world with secure comms and have some idea of how hard you guys work. Hope you enjoyed your time in.
Inflatable Boat, Small training. I was coxswain. I had my hands on the motor, my M-16, a PRC-25 on the deck. We went broadside coming through the surf and capsized. I held onto the motor and my rifle. Lost the radio. I spent 8 hours in the surf looking for the radio. This was on Coronado. I enjoyed the Rock but I wasn’t in BUD/S. Regular Navy Remote Sensor Team. I learned a distaste for cactus.
Very interesting. I am amazed how much endurance some people have and what they can endure. I would for sure have dropped out already in the first phase. So I really admire the stamina of those people who make it to the end.
I never was that great of a runner, but that all changed as I progressed through the Navy by running the mountains on my off time. Came in first on one of the Parts and was appointed by the Chief to become a Command Fitness Instructor. Wanted to go Seals but didn't think there was anyway I could ever hold my breath for six minutes
This was the best series to listen to about buds that I’ve seen. If I was prepping for buds I’d be so glad for these videos. The older doc is cool but this to me is better even without visuals, your explaining about everything I can actually just imagine it. Greats videos and thank you for your service.🇺🇸🤘👍
Again, big, big, thank you for your dedicated service protecting our lives, rights, freedoms and values as an American Navy Seal....Bravo. So much appreciation! Cool vid's, Man!
The more and more I hear about BUD/S, th more and more ny hat goes off to all the badasses who conquered it God Bless all of our Warriors! Shoutout to ya Chad!! Much love and respect from Oklahoma
Awesome videos. Gave me flashbacks of very long, very arduous land nav courses. The worse I remember was a night course after a wicked storm. Lots and lots of deadfall, which makes it so much more fun. Respect for your service.
I try to show people my favorite few minutes of one of the channel's videos anytime I can that could possibly benefit or at least enjoy watching. Get a ton more interest from sitting with a group of people watching one. I'm asked all the time, “ hey, Hey HEYyyy Man what have you got your face in? you missed the last 4 conversations….”! That’s one way to try to share a channel though at least. Anyhow keep going I know for me and probably a lot of guys and gals that you have great teaching ability in you. I don't blow smoke I had a couple teachers that had your passion and talked/projected things similar and sure made class fun and I always magical reasons learned from them things I remember today.
You’re a good, stand up man, Chadd. It would be a pleasure to meet you some day. I enjoy your videos. I’m claustrophobic and couldn’t do what have done. You have a right to be proud, and I think it’s the coolest that you’ve kept a journal of your experiences. Your blue ‘80s Land Cruiser is tops as well. Take care and God bless.
These Videos have been really interesting. Most people , myself included could not even imagine the kind of adversity you and your teammates fought through. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
This series has been great. I was discharged during land nav. I had the huge Alice pack on and I slipped on a rock, removed 2 lower lumbar units from my spine. Paralizised me for 6 months
Good morning. Going to be a new sub. First , I would like to say thank you for your service. I live right next to Ft Bragg and have friends that are active duty and retired Army. A knee injury in hs knocked me out of the ability to serve in 89 so I feel like I missed the brotherhood that I see that is so strong across all the services. Thanks for sharing your faith and stories. I follow a lot of guys that are prior service and special ops. You all rock. Keep these videos coming. Much love from Raeford NC. God bless you. 🤙🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing. Only regret I will have is not serving my country. The way things are going I still might be able to do something for my country. God bless you!
The former Rhodesian Special Forces unit called the Selous Scouts also did a tough selection course.It is a tough training and mental mind game no doubt.Well done to you Chadd enjoyed your 3 phases.
Love your stories I’m going into Border Patrol soon and my goal is to become part of Bortac, I’m currently part of swat team but from what I hear Bortac selections and training is pretty tough , your stories help me prep my mind for the future feat to overcome
Remember that time Shields lost his 2 front teeth after the paddle slammed into his mouth when his boat team got pummeled by the breaking wave? Good times that sucked, lol!... A mutual class brother (AR) said you started this channel. I get a kick out of your stories. Keep up the good work! #HOOYAH278
No matter how deep, wide, cold, what weapons I have, sea life always freaks me...alien environment. Your story describing tides and the raw power of the ocean brought back memories ...I can picture all the equipment on the beach...lol..thanks for making the videos.
Thank you for sharing the BUDS portion of your training with us sir. Personally, I found it fascinating, and would enjoy hearing about some of your advanced training as well? At least what you can elaborate on.
Incredible story! What a mind f_ck that entire series of brutal training you volunteered to participate through! I'm a disabled Army Tank commander and went through a variety of schools. The most difficult school for me was NBC/ Chemical Warfare only because of the academic portions, no physical stuff, you just had to be a somewhat intelligent. I went to the NATO/Warsaw Pact weapons school while out Troop occupied our border camp in Weiden, West Germany but I loved participating in that school. They didn't hold a shoe string compared to the brutality y'all suffered! I salute you and thank you for your Service!
Keep up the great work brother. I love listening to you on my way home from work at 2:30am. And it's about time I hear someone that talks like I do. May God bless you and yours and God bless America 🇺🇸.
Went through "fire school" to become a certified firefighter...sounds like we got 1/10th of the time/training, and 1/1000th of the abuse you guys got. Much respect, I know I couldn't have made it through 1st phase of BUD/S. I did, however, not fall for the "Let's go get some barbecue at Melear's!", but we had former trainees tell us the puke stories. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!! Wish I was man enough to make it through what all of you went through.

Stop living vicariously through others. Why are you talking about your family in public forums to get likes?
Thank you for sharing that. Idk what @donramanayake1505 deal is. Being dramatic about someone else’s comments about their thoughts and experiences is really pathetic.
Hardship comes in many forms; no one gets a free pass. "All comparisons are odious."
really interesting stories. i was a policeman for 30 years, but no military service. you guys deserve your reputations. that training is no joke and it takes some incredible tenacity and ability to weather hardship to complete. much respect...
You guys deserve your reputations too
@@bigmarty11288 thanks. both are kind of dirty, but necessary jobs.
@@brucehelppie6119 that wasn't a compliment, class traitor.
Hey “big marty" (🤣)
You're quite the A Hole, aren't you?
@@brucehelppie6119yes I agree. Very necessary jobs indeed. Thank you for your service as a first responder.

That thanksgiving story sounds like something out of Paris Island. Awesome stuff Chadd. Thank you
You HAD to know it was coming😂😂😂

A true humble legend that is walking the earth as we all live thank you for all your sacrifices and helping keep us all a little safer
I respect our seals, but you sir are my favorite!!
@@jasond1648 I agree
Thanks for the great content, Chadd. I enjoy hearing another country boy telling his story about his journey in the military. I appreciate you being a humble, Christian warrior. Appreciate ya, brother!💯🇺🇸
These stories are outstanding. It makes me realize just how special people can be. It’s so inspirational. Thank you sir.
W O W. . . 4:20 . . . Well Said…!!!!
I like how the certificates are done by the simplest printing method, the simplest graphics, no fancy 5th colors, watermarks,.....yet everybody knows, how freaking precious this paper is for every owner.

Respect from France.

Man, I have really enjoyed these videos!! My son has had it in his heart to try the seals for a long time!
You’re preaching good, integrity, do what’s right when nobody is looking.
Doing the right thing isn't always the easy thing, but it's always the right thing. Great story!

Hopefully this isn’t too late, but on Mike Ritland’s podcast he interviewed a BORTAC dude. (Might be informative for you)
You are one tough dude. 👍👍
Thanks for sharing...only th elite warrior survives...congratulations!

Thanks for taking your time to tell me us that amazing story, nothing like a real inside from a real super hero
Congratulations and thank you for your service. Much respect.
Thanks for taking the time to tell the stories !!
USMC, platoon 2078, 2003, San Diego. Cheers from Alaska. Stay Hard. 👍
Do some videos about after buds, and after getting your trident!
I've heard a lot about Buds and hell week but never any of the rest of these things. Love the stories keep it up
Thank you for sharing the BUDS portion of your training with us sir. Personally, I found it fascinating, and would enjoy hearing about some of your advanced training as well? At least what you can elaborate on.
I love these stories. Thank you Chadd
Love this dude. Goes into a lot of detail. Love this channel
Love San Clemente Isle. My boys Scout troop had a dad that was a helo driver and had a weekend of VIP treatment …
I been on the rock as well when I was in the corps. We used to pull abalone off the rocks to eat for a change from C-Rats. Mid 1970’s
DANG! They pulled a frickin Captain Sobel on ya'll. Brutal!! "Fill your bellies gentlemen. We are going to give you the day off..."
I like spaghetti, you?
Love this channel. Hope it grows bigger then you expect
You have a talent about sharing experience!!!! So enjoyable!!
Love it Bro.
Heck yea, we enjoyed it!
That was real interesting .. Didn't know who this dude was, but feel like I know him a bit better now after hearing this incredible journey.
Hey Chad. Brutal, man.
Mind blowing stories, amazing insights and great photos!
Incredible story! What a mind f_ck that entire series of brutal training you volunteered to participate through!
I'm a disabled Army Tank commander and went through a variety of schools. The most difficult school for me was NBC/ Chemical Warfare only because of the academic portions, no physical stuff, you just had to be a somewhat intelligent. I went to the NATO/Warsaw Pact weapons school while out Troop occupied our border camp in Weiden, West Germany but I loved participating in that school. They didn't hold a shoe string compared to the brutality y'all suffered!
I salute you and thank you for your Service!
Keep up the great work brother. I love listening to you on my way home from work at 2:30am. And it's about time I hear someone that talks like I do.
May God bless you and yours and
God bless America 🇺🇸.
Went through "fire school" to become a certified firefighter...sounds like we got 1/10th of the time/training, and 1/1000th of the abuse you guys got. Much respect, I know I couldn't have made it through 1st phase of BUD/S. I did, however, not fall for the "Let's go get some barbecue at Melear's!", but we had former trainees tell us the puke stories. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!! Wish I was man enough to make it through what all of you went through.
Salute Brother F F
That was a Cool Fuckin Sea Story Brother! Love this Shit!!! I was a runner too, but never a Sandbaggin SOB!!!
