- A few days ago I asked you the viewers to give me some questions for a Q&A session on the Vigilance Elite community tab.
We received an overwhelming amount of questions, we picked a few of our favorites and Sean Ryan former Navy SEAL and CIA Contractor gave some off the cuff answers.
We're calling this Vigilance Elite Mail Call. If you would like to see more of this please comment below.

"Do not make decisions off of emotion."
If you want that to stick with someone a bit better then tell em the goal is to avoid making "permanent" decisions based off of "temporary" emotions. The permanent and temporary is what really made that phrase sink in when my mom told me that as a child.
Winston Wright fruit cake
It really is the best life advice.
Think about all your bad life choices. Then think about if emotions were involved. I'd be willing to bet around 80% of a person's worst decisions come from emotions.
Cool flag
"it never gets any easier..."
"its never gonna make sense..."
words i've lived & spoken too.
sorry for your loss.
Truer words were never spoken. It never does make any sense.
When you talk about death and loss it really means a lot you’re like a tactical Mr.Rogers
rick toretto haha 😂
Was thinking the same thing, going from room to room, was waiting for him to change shoes
By the way Sean, I appreciated your view on moving on. Lost my wife and sweetheart of 42yrs Aug 3rd. She was with me nearly my entire Navy career. I have had trouble moving on and I appreciate your incite on moving on. Congrats on your marriage. Have lots of experience in that area! Keep her close at all times as life is short Bro!
I’m really sorry to hear that. That’s got to be the hardest loss of all to feel. God bless you.
So sorry for your loss. Stay strong, and keep the faith. God bless.
@@kwilliams454 thank you so much!
Sorry to hear about that
🙌🙌
Dude, of course we want this more! Anything vigilance elite we want more of!
I am an old guy. A retired cop. Worked longer than I imagine you have been alive. Now I said that to tell you I never got use to being lied to and that was what I heard everday all day especially as a detective. So here's the deal I really admire your honesty in your presentations. I caught your time with Ritland and have seen you with Rut and other team guys. I've seen you enough to believe you are who and what you say you are and I appreciate that about you. Here is my wish for a happy wedding and successful marriage. Best of luck. Also, I believe you give solid advice ro others.
This was meant to be about you not me. I was writing to tell you I think you are a straight shooter and I appreciate that. And,I think you are a good fellow.
I used to think of myself as a hardass. I’ve found helping others deal with their loss has helped me deal with mine. You might not even realize how many people you’ve just helped. Great video.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Q&A from a no bullshit perspective is always appreciated.
The absolute only channel I absolutely love seeing a 40+ minute video and I’m not skipping a single piece
A lot of young kids probably watch you and listen to you. I thank you for not glorifying war and giving good honorable advise to them. You also give good advise to us old timers who are struggling with things like ptsd. Thank you for what you do and the way you do it. And thank you for wearing that pow/mia bracelet. Always remember never forget
Aloha. C
Charles I agree that's why I like him as well!!
“Come off the gun...” pay attention to your complete surroundings. Excellent.
Man, you are my favorite channel on UA-cam. I would love to see you and Warrior Poet sit around and talk about all the differences of opinions you have. And all of the things you have in common. I love how honest you are. Thank you for your service and your content. Some of your answers here mean so much to me. I know this has been up for a while and you probably won’t see this, but regardless. Thank you for being real in a very fake world.
BEST. VIDEO. YET. More Q&A’s. The way it’s shot, the “realism” really comes through. The personal/intimate settings...all of it. Now I see why it’s called Vigilance Elite Productions. Also, there’s a shit ton of BS gun channels that promote the same shit...so this is definitely refreshing. Keep this kind of content coming, it’s definitely nice.
Guardian it’s really nice to hear that. Thank you
@Just Some Kraken With Internet Access I agree sir!

It brings a big smile to my face to see you talk about what you want to talk about. Your wisdom is always appreciated, but I could listen to you talk about just about anything if it comes from the heart. Your house is beautiful and I hope your wedding is awesome. Keep on keepin' on!
Bit thank you for saying that man.
I'm watching this the day after your wedding...blessings to you both. As a pastor, I will say that your advice about communicating constantly and creating and sticking to a plan as a team in combat, directly transfers into marriage. 11 years of experience myself and countless marriage counseling sessions with couples struggling have given me permission to give this advice. Blessings and thanks for who you are and your honesty.
I love this channel and the authenticity. Thanks to all the team at Vigilance Elite. S.R. congratulations on your engagement. This video really had a major impact for me today. God blessed. I look forward to carrying the torch and enlisting soon. Be blessed man.
The 13 that disliked this video probably got offended about their tacticool gear.
D G highly possible.
LOL!
Lmao more than likely that Lucas botkin fella from t-Rex arms or his followers that think they can learn to be combat effective by training w him and all his experience haha 😂😂🤮
I always wonder why people do. Maybe they simply don’t like what he said . Doesn’t mean they don’t like vig elite. Or they got big ass thumbs
The 13 who already knew everything from a prior course...
SEAN: You are a great inspiration for me! I love when you tell the truth and share your weakness, because you demonstrate how STRONG you really are, but you also give me courage to accept my shortcomings and not ring the damn bell. Thank you for making me a better man.
Sean you give a lot of wisdom. You to learn everyday. Constant personal progression. Your presentations are rough but they are a great guidance. You stay who you are your knowledge is inspirational. Keep it up. We are behind you. Glad you realized that family is sooo important. Don’t forget it truly is.
“Don’t eat ass”
Your wisdom is appreciated Shawn!
40 minute Q&A with one of the baddest dudes on the planet. Heck yeah!!! 🤘
Your thoughts on loss truly touched me, and I think you're spot on. I choose to celebrate my husband's life, remember the joy. He was Dudley Do Right most of the time 😉I'm looking forward to your video on this. Congratulations on your marriage. Wishing you both much love and joy. Nell
I really appreciate your candor. Your video seems unscripted and from the heart and I find that very refreshing. It's hard to be real and put yourself out there but definitely makes for the best content in my opinion so thank you.
Sean you tell it like it is. Your honesty is great. I like listening to your opinions.
You chose some really good and tuff questions. Your answers shows your experience and objectivity. Well done.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the questions. I tried to pick some tough ones out that most people wouldn't answer.
@@ShawnRyanShow see my comment later. This is one of if not the best Q&A's on youtube period.
Congratulations on the marriage, best wishes! Thanks for taking the time to hit on a bunch of hard topics. Your direct and real answers truly help this motley crew. Keep on keeping on.
I love the honesty you put out , thanks for your service
I have lost many loved one's myself. And i agree with you 1000 percent. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for all you have done, and all you continue to do. You are an inspiration sir. Appreciate you.
Thank you for answering all of our questions. Your transparency continues to shine throughout each one of your videos. VE4L!!!
The Question of 911 being Fake was Classic 😂
The Slow pause and the look into the camera, then saying "Your'e an Idiot " 😂🤣😂🤣
Whether it was fake or not. It was real for him and people that died for it. That was the stupidest question ever. 😂 you're an idiot was an understatement.
I know this is old but, yeah they are dumb af! I can't even count the number of people our family knew, friends knew and neighbors. Every time I hear that shit it really gets my blood boiling.
People 100% died that day, doesn’t mean it wasn’t a false flag.
I laughed my ass off at that part.
9/11 certainly wasn't fake. What i think he meant was, was it an "inside job". I have no clue personally. But one thing i do know is that there was definitely thermite on that building. Having someone close to me who did building demolition point out the beam that was famously photographed where it clearly has slag on it and was cut at a 45degree angle (How thermite is place on supporting beams during demolition) was eye opening to say the least. I think the most interesting part of 9/11 was actually building #7 coming down the way it did. I never went down the 9/11 rabbit hole, nor do i care to. But some things about that day are definitely fishy to say the least.
Vigilance Elite The way you show your genuine character, you should have millions of viewers. You’ve got it all: great content, production, and attitude; all wrapped up with genuine delivery. Thank you for your service.
This is one of if not THE best Q&A I've ever seen on youtube. Your dedication to complete answers, important questions, not just fluff qa content and connection ability with your audience and humans In general is awesome. Well done sir.
The only channel I have notifications turned on. Love your content
I'd love to see more of this content. Thanks so much bro.
I love the up front, down to earth honesty, I can hear the emotion in some of the answers. Thank you for what you have done and been through, You're sacrifices had not been in vain, there are those of us who appreciate it more than we can express. Again, Thank You Sir.
Always stoked when I see a new Vigilance Elite video with the epic Mr Shawn Ryan! And this one was another great one. Thought you picked very solid questions and gave awesome sometimes heavy sometimes funny answers! Thank you sir.
Keep these new type of videos coming brother. They are real talk and it’s nice to hear!
brody mayse I will
Appreciate ur service ! Love this channel
Brother, you helped out a lot of people the day you posted this video. I see it in the responses and I read it in the conversations within these responses.... Carry on with this good work.
I listened to your session with Mr. Bradley and was blown away for obvious reasons. Will be donating this week to Mr. Bradley's cause. Thank you for bringing his situation to us civilian's attention. It's interesting I listen to you, Mike Ritland, Marcus Luttrell, Dakota Meyer ,Mr. Jocko etc. The information and content that is driven is authentic, real world and "always" supportive to all. I don't know if continually thanking you all for your selflessness, intellect, sacrifice and focus will ever be enough. However, I think the content of Vigilance Elite is terrific and appreciate your work. Tell the beautiful wife that we appreciate her as well. Gods blessings to all. Some of "all" of your philosophies are mimicked by my husband. Very interesting.
Liked before watching as always.
Congratulations on your marriage. I wish your wife and you much love and success.
james heath thank you!
@@kwilliams454 It takes a strong woman to be with a Vet. I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for my wife. Many prayers to you and Sean.
I was hesistant to watch this one took seeing it recommended 3x. Most Q&A's on youtube suck, this however you did an amazing job. Top quality. I would have clicked earlier had I known you were answering only the top questions that had the most meaningful answers.
PLEASE make more of these. Your an excellent speaker and your life experience is invaluable for all of us to learn from.
I will
The “stinkin’ thinkin’”. That kept me aware after I became sober.
Emotions and reason cannot live in the same space!
Congrats on your wedding! I for one appreciate the direction your videos are taking. Keep up the great work! There are dozens of channels who deal in firearms, tactics, and training out there. This doesn't mean you can't do those or that you don't do them well; from those you have done they were great to watch, who doesn't love some hood slide? Your insight into life and the more serious topics of discussions is very engaging.
Loss of a pet(s) hits close to home, my wife and I lost our Shepherd and Lab of 12 years within months of each other 2 years back and even though we adopted a rescue Shepherd a year ago still struggle with them being gone.
Last year my best friend died, and my mother died in the same week. The impact was so hard that I didn't know how to act about it. I think I mourn in moments, here and there, but it's not a constant thing and lasts too long. Thanks for your comments on it.
Love the honesty bro can tell your answers are straight from the heart
That was awesome! Loved the "ambiance" throughout...and the questions were high-performance with real-life answers. Does a vid get any better?...only if Shawn was caressing his favorite lead-flinger! God bless all you glorious patriots
Congratulations and best wishes to you and the Mrs.
Thanks for this! More would be great! Your insight is great. After 22yrs in the Navy many of your responses would be mine. I was originally a Seabee and later a Fleet sailor( Nuke weapons security team) so above all, situational awareness will get you through most situations. Rock on!
Good stuff shipmate. I'm very glad that you're not reviewing charging handles and such. Keep up the real talks
Congratulations, best wishes to you and Katy! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to make a lengthy video like this. Quite honestly, there's tons of tactical guys on YT, teaching this or that? But there's less than a handful of guys that I can actually watch, connect with and listen to that are interesting enough, smart enough and articulate enough? And you're one of them! Thank you for your service, your time out of your busy schedule and your straight up honest answers!
mpireone that’s a hell of a compliment. Thank you 🙏🏻
Shawn, it was really refreshing to hear someone finally talk about situational awareness, knowing your exits, and talking about how shooting your way out is not always the best way out of situation. Sometimes retreating nd not engaging is the best strategy. It was really good to hear that from someone. Keep up the good content brother.
I love humble and competent people who speaks from the heart, like you! Love from Norway
This was a good video. I’d like to have more of these type of videos Sean, have a good one!
Met her in the range. That is a true blue operators love story. Congratulations brother. Many years of happiness to you and yours.
What you said about loss is literally the reason I'm still here. I always kind of felt like I was given an opportunity they no longer had and it was a disservice to throw it away on account of how I felt. One step at a time. Glad to see you're still standing brother.
This is the second Q&A I've now watched. I'm enjoying taking a "little walk" around the ranch while we chat, well you're really doing all the talking, but I'm listening with great interest. It works out well.
There was a lot of life packed into those answers.
I fuckin love the honesty when Shawn speaks, never biased, always gives credit where it's due, and gives no fucks to admit his own faults I love it. Not to mention hilarious
Outstanding show. Thank you for Everything and God Bless you and yours.
Your content is outstanding. Your honesty is an example that being brave and vulnerable are not conflicting traits. IMHO you are helping as many with your content as you did with your exemplary service in the SEALS and CIA. Congrats on your marriage and thank you for your continued service.
The .22 answer. Nothing is more true than that! Thumbs up, man!
Hey brother, I'm digging the Q&A. It is really refreshing to not see fluffed up "GunTuber" bs on your channel. I always know its going to be a good vid when you drop a new one, congrats on getting married man.
Sean, I appreciate the content you put out and your manner of speaking and projecting yourself. Some of the most deadly men I know are soft spoken, experienced people that all know 1 thing; that we don't know everything! One one my favorites is a tiny little white haired Irishman (love and miss you, Uncle Pat!) that spoke with a whistle and a New York accent that taught me many things about fighting with a gun because he was good at it, and I always enter any new training evolution with an open mindset. An open mind, and an honest inventory of one's personality traits, just as you bare to us, is key in this life. Please continue, brother, the example you provide will help more people than you can imagine!
I couldn't agree with you more on the loss. My wife passed during the end of April. Myself and our 5 little ones as you said honor, remember the good times and move on in the manner she would want and expect from us. Thank you Shawn. I look forward to that video.
@@lifeadventures7531
Truly, I thank you.
I lost my 8 month old son may of 2019. Sids. I have a 5year old son and a 3 year old daughterr. I bought my first ar 15 4 months later. Going to the range with my oldest son helps us cope.
I lost my 1st and 2nd.
My 1st was on my 30th bday.
My second was on mothers day the same year. They were both miscarriages. It was hard after hearing their heartbeats.
My 3rd was born with downs syndrome and a heart condition. He was revived on the operating table at 5 months old. We almost lost him.
My 4th has autism.
Everyday is a struggle. The sorrow I feel is so vast.
I am sorry for your loss. I hope you find joy. And I hope your angel visits you often.
Tears for your loss.
I’m sorry to hear that - I hope you are all staying strong, and nothing can compare to your pain. Keep faith that everything has a purpose. My best piece of advice is to keep faith, whether it’s in god, family, or faith in what you do in life. Much love.
Faith in Jesus Christ has got us through
Im sorry for your loss. I talk to them. Sometimes outloud.
Congrats on the upcoming Marriage. Hope you guys have many years of love & lots of laughter.
Excellent sincere answers. "Someone may have put somethin' in my drink..." yeah, it was the bartender & it was alcohol. I worked at that Mall. I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale. Not at Mayor's, I worked at Chess King. But i was the best of the best at Chess King. I was elite in the dark ops world of young men's fashion retail. I've been a comedian now for 36 yrs. I've met Joe Rogan twice. He was very nice both times and I find him really inspiring. I'd lay a bet he'd love to have you on his show. Thanks for sharing & for your Service.
What a mentor you are.....!....Thanks!
This has fastly became my favorite channel. Very much appreciate the honest content
I appreciate that!
@@ShawnRyanShow absoloutely. Content is to the point no BS. Hope to come train with you guys in 2021. You in TN?
Really enjoyed this Q and A style video. Congrats on getting married! God bless y’all!
I love your no BS honesty and how you keep it real, which is something a lot of people don't understand and need to hear.
Really enjoy the content of all your videos. But, the current videos i must say are amazing. I thank you for your service. But I can really appreciate you connecting to us your viewers as a regular joe. Very honest and down to earth. Looking forward to the next one. Congratulations on your wedding.
Damn brother, this was an amazing video on these Q&A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I salute you 👍🏼🇺🇸
Congrats on the wedding 👊🏼I wish you and your wife nothing but happiness & great life together
Sean Montoya thank you!!
"She shared her tater tots with me", and the rest is history hahah. I knew you were a romantic. 😂
Tater tots being code for.....?
Dealing with loss. Shawn, thanks for just putting yourself out there. Now I've seen a side of you that we have in common. Not only have I lost my friends, but my kid brother. Your right, it's never easy and it doesn't get easier, but we do learn to continue living our lives even with our losses. Yes, we move on because that's exactly what they would want us to do. If we spend too much time living out yesterday, day after day, we will never get around to today or tomorrow. Good advice, Shawn. Congratulations to you and your bride!
These mail calls and the anxiety videos are the best! And the stories!
Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. I just got married this summer; best day of my life.
@Tom S Yes how embarrassing that my wedding was the best day of my life. Must suck living life being so stupid.
@@vegetathesaiyanprince4724 honestly
So, the next day was anything different? I ask because all my buddies have gotten married & i'm still dating the same girl 6 years later. I guess I don't see the point of getting married because what's going to change in my relationship other than the fact I would now lose half of my shit if I decided to leave?
@@flipgunderson1946 just shows trust in one another
@@flipgunderson1946 no nothing was really different the next day it was kind of surreal to just know we're married now but it was nice to have that permanent connection with someone and there's always a prenup if you were worried about losing half your stuff in divorce. Plus it's nice legitimately being able to say "my wife" rather than girlfriend.
Watched this whole thing and then I realized it was 40 minutes. Shawn could make the dictionary interesting
Hey Shawn. You were asking viewers to comment whether or not they like these style videos. Hell yes! I am not a veteran, but I love your advice and your answers, you're someone people trust and have a lot of respect for! I've heard that some people don't like to talk about their time served often, but I try to listen as much as I possibly can when they do. Many people in my family are veterans of several different branches, and it is hard to catch a story, but when you can, you have to fucking listen because it's sometimes your only chance. Keep them coming, brother!
Excellent video! Thank you for your Service to this Country and Thank You for your honesty and straightforward answers.
You should come out with velcro patches for hats! I would love to get one 👍🏻
i love you Shaun!
Thank you for all you do. You are truly the best of us. Risk your life for our freedom and come home and help people in need and become better. Im new to your channel but have learned so much in a short amount of time. Thank you.
Thank you for the segment on loss.
My brother committed suicide back in august and I've been struggling to deal with it.
So hearing about how you've dealt with all the loss in your life gives me a bit of guidance on how to deal with it in mine.
"Move on and don't pretend to morn because you feel guilty about what everyone else thinks about you"
I didn't know i needed to hear that, but I'm really glad I did.
"Your an Idiot, Next Question" hahahaha. Thanks for putting that one in there, and great stuff Shawn! Hope to make it out to one of your classes one day
I love that you referred to someone as a “turd”. I use that word too and feel like no one does 😆
Haha 😂 💩
I have come to really enjoy all your content. Most of all your honesty and candor. It’s refreshing. Thank you.
Great video. I appreciate your no BS approach. I thought about sending in a question but couldn't think of anything worthwhile. Besides, you've addressed social anxiety and addiction, which I struggle with to this day. Thanks!
Man, my moms basement looks nothing like that.
papa Garand thumb has some tips for sprucing it up
@@broja4387 ooooooo
MIKE U.S.N. Haha 😂
Is that the bat cave ?
Will there be more flannels available soon sir?
We're hoping Black Friday.
Check
Bet. Black friday I am getting one. Life isnt going well, flannel should help with that.
If you cant get a flannel get ya some of that hans de fuquo
@@ShawnRyanShow Fuck I'm gonna have to be on the ball, then. They're going to go instantly.
You honor those we have lost by carrying on and living life!!!! I keep a list of the fallen from my life. Some days I just look at to remember them!!!!
That part where you talked about loss really hit home for me. This years been rough and I’ve lost 4 close people to me this year. The one out of the four actually passed away today. Thank you for your words of wisdom Shawn. I appreciate all of what you and Rut have done for me this year with y’all’s videos and Instagram posts of inspiration, laughs etc. By the way congrats to you and your soon be wife brother. Y’all stay safe and God bless🤙🏽💙
Your response to the rock that asked you about Seal team 6 and the Bin Laden raid was priceless. "You're an idiot!" Hahaha!! 🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸
LyricalXpressions.Wordpress.com 😂
I waited and waited for the ROCK'S question. Fuck I am idiot also.🤣 Was no less entertaining tho.
I felt like I was over for a steak and a glass of wine lol like this series,
Thank You for your service Sean.
