My dad Kevin Williams is the smartest, most honorable man I know.
I would love to know if there are any other videos out there of him that you know of? Amazing speaker!
And that, sir, is what dads live to hear. I know he is more honored by your words than all accolades in these comments.
100% agree ❤❤❤love my cousin

Dang proud to call this man my nephew equally as proud to call him, my friend. He is a great example to people of the world wherever he finds himself. Thank you for your service
People like Kevin prove that there are still honorable people are out there. Thank you.
I love this guy, he's an amazing speaker
Yes!!! Of course, character is the ultimate test. I always talk about mission-orientation.
This world is insane. Just like in Seal training, the regular world will push us to our limits. When we come to that limit, how will we act?
Will we have character and act as we believe in our innermost, or will we lash out and destroy?
Living life to it's fullest is much like the crucible of Special Forces training.
When put to the test, will we be who we wish to be, or will we devolve into basic instincts?
Great talk. It doesn't matter what your credentials are, everything boils down to your character and your deportment and how you handle situations.
Incredible, insightful talk. Thank you.
That teacher was brutally deep xD
One of the best talks ever.
I can believe it.
Today's conflict is a lot of mentally and spiritually training on how far you can go.
Overcoming the fear and keep on going with your brother in war
This is good. Because, from what I got it gets down to the very Essence of being. This is what I teach. Very well said.
I freakishly love this speech
Go Mrs.Packer!!
wow, good one...'DISCOVER DIAMONDS NOT CREATE THEM'......that brought tears to my eyes...wow..can he 'discover diamonds' within himself without 'looking for them?' or 'making them happen'?...why sure
"The girl that I had a crush on, that girl was ... Mr's Packard"
He stands "ready for action" ... gotta love military guys, once drilled, never leaves them.
Great talk.
This was enlightening
Thanks Kevin.
He hit it on the nose!! Business leaders need to take note
Actually, he hit her in the ear. Pay more attention. :)
Sharp man God bless our navy shout out to delta
Great. Never mind the big suit. Just listen and learn.
Something likes Buds or ranger school or SAS selection might be a good thing to put political leaders through before they are able to enter elections. It might be a good way to reduce those who lack decent character, regardless of where they lie on the political spectrum
Teachers to, as so many anymore have none.
NIce, brother frogman!
Good one !
I need sleep, so No seal training for me.
Thank you Sir. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This guy is brilliant
Opera non Verba...deeds not words....spent 29 years in the cop world....a quality respected by all....
So good
amazing
well said
I've always thought of the expression "proving grounds" to mean how well you impress others by your performance.. but after watching this video, it seems that this process is as much or more to prove to *yourself* what you are willing and capable of doing.
One other comment... it seems to me that the early-grade teachers tend to be the most passionate and compassionate in their work "teaching". But we cannot solely rely on our teachers to provide the whole environment for our character development.. it is up to the parents and guardians to equally strive to give the same level of attention, care, and nourishment whenever they are with their children.. even if life limits the amount of time spent.. it's more the quality and not the quantity.
'why i am here isn't connected to my value system, necessarily'..Seal training sounds interesting sure produces wonderful dynamics to occur...the logic to support 'bullying' is specious to say the least...
Respect
I’m here from Mrs Evan’s class 😎
No way me to
16 salty common core teachers disliked this video.
Papy McBites most common core teachers don't even like common corr
*Pushes up glasses* “u mean 29?!?!?!”
now 35
Hold on...I’m still using the common core method to count the tally.....
.....Stand by.....
.....just a little longer.....
.....what was I doing again?
Ms's Bee, Kindergarten. Preschool is a bit too tough to remember
Jens Kidman is doing TED talks?
coloca a legenda em portugues!!
His pants are too big. Great talk though, splendid!
Maby he likes the baggy. I like my clothes baggy but I wear a belt. Baggy but not saggy.
He just most likely has huge quadriceps that you can't see
@The Swede A suit with bangstick and extra bangs under it needs to be baggy.
Zoot Suit?
You swedes love some tight pants... Think i saw a swede in oslo the other day wearing miss sixty's
oh boy, and I never went to Kindergarten or SEAL training... explains it.
Half expected the TF2 soldier to come out on stage
Everything I know I learned in kindergarten. I know alot of people who have this in common. Hahaha
It stays for life .....
This sounds like a speech for a military graduation. I have no idea what he was trying to convey or how this would apply to my life in business, etc.
Sounds as though you don't know who you are
Can't remember going to a kindergarten
God bless kindergarten teachers every where. BUDS Class151.
Why does he look like the villain from IRON MAN (1)
I got that, too. Still a great speech.
As RADM Tom Richards once said about BUD/S, "We don't instill enthusiasm, we distill it." AMEN
Wow....
Can’t even make snowballs at school at all
In seal training one of the first tasks is learning how to pay your taxes
Brandon Gaedke he said he learn d everything he knows from kindergarten and seal training, in kindergarten they don't tell you how to pay taxes, so he must've learned it in seal training
I think that's more towards the end, towards the 'how to fit in with civilians' week.
You pay taxes cuz you don't think about not paying. Intmidated much?
shout out to west Virginia 😉
Go Mountaineers! A-co 3-15 here.

That kindergarten lil gal got lucky. She missed a guy who couldn't shoot straight.
I did not even have to god to kindergarten. I taught myself.
We were on vacation
A vacay*
Iffuwilll
Two hours sleep?????????????????
Yep.
I know of guys who were put in their locker to sleep in the barracks because their buddies wanted them to pass an evolution but knew he wouldn't wake up for it. Guys sleep standing up and any chance they can but yea you get maybe 2-3 hours max.
what a bummer
Ok so your headphones arent broken chill
whats on his shoulder??
Brownie

chip? I don't see it.
It's playing tricks on his mind but, he didn't quit
Secret weapon
At this point I want to know where a Christian religion has to do with character because I am a buddhist today.I will do a presentation for my brother and sisters in the dharma and want to see who will tell me to give up the idea.

JUST STOP...... not everything said is a attack on YOU....
@@johnbolton3711 Now do you still feel with all that has happened.
I don't have to speak on something that has been a system that has pushed a people to point of no return. It is a challenge that won't stop to point it has hurt families around our nation.
That explains how much education you need to become a seal then.
Spit polished tools of death. Wasted lives
english please?

You've fooled yourself.
Dylan, I know but it is important these hate monger know they are not going to spread their lies unchallenged. When he dies and wakes in hell he won't be alone but in the meantime .........
30 people who had the ability to adapt mattered more than the bad move throwing snowball.
What you are is not what you did in Kindergarten😊
That's good. I would hate it if everyone remembered I said I was having puppies😂because I had a very mean big sister 😊.
I miss her so much . Wouldn't change a thing.
Even if she told me our dog knocking me down and going
" humpy" meant I would have puppies!=D so like any kid ...
I told my friends so they would be excited for puppies=)/=D Yes!
boring
