"the reality is if you, if you're truly dedicated to it, both mind and spirit, and you've got the passion and the drive, then you can be whatever you want to be" my kind of wisdom
You can have the dedication,mind and spirit all you want.And what's that other one .....passion.Your still not ever going to run a 4 minute mile.Some people are just better at certain things.Period.
James Fleming To get through BUDs it’s all a mind game. All they are doing is fucking with your mind. For one week you only get like 4 hours of sleep. This makes BUDs seem like it’s never going to end which is what makes many guys lose hope and quite.
Eh I don’t know someone who has never been able to walk probably won’t be able to. It’s a good quote for a lot of people, but it’s important to keep in mind some people literally can’t do things. Passion only gets you as far as your body can let you.
Felipe D Well that's practically what all special forces do. They are deep behind enemy lines, recruiting assets, covert ops in destroying enemy communication lines, destroying enemy fuel supply or weapons caches or disrupting their money flow etc. All the while remaining unseen
They are not causing trouble, every soldier is agent of his government's policy. Force is only means, power is the end. Sometimes it is not power, it is just necessity of forceful act. As an ex-soldier I was also agent of my government's policy. In my case, country was brutally attacked by more powerful enemy and our acting is declared as defensive. Soldiers often need to do dirty work that no one else wants to do. That is just a fact of life. Opposite would be in a perfect world and this world is far from it.

Holy shiet. Excuse my language. So what you're telling me is they make you become the best of yourself to benefit everyone else? Why aren't we doing this in school?
Because the ambiguous _They_ don't want that. The Marxists are breaking the will and taking the fight right out of the Western male. It starts in kindergarten and doesn't stop. When female social behavior is held up as the Gold Standard in school, and boys are punished for the natural differences in their behavior, you're just punishing them for being defective girls. It's even better when you add in Zero Tolerance policies which criminalizes self defense by treating it just the same as assault, or when sharing over-the-counter medicine can be called drug dealing. These boys are now have criminal convictions which sometimes makes them unfit for military duty. They're often subject to long-term suspensions, expulsions, or made to serve time in state facilities are mandated to keep up the educational requirements of the state, doing the bare minimum in most cases because they're not equipped to carry it out effectively. Their budgets just don't stretch far enough to include experienced guards with teaching certificates who also happen to be psych majors. My point is that this is one way to hamstring the national defense of a country over time. Marxist change agents and Feminism are molding boys and into what Jordan Peterson describes as, _"fat [tomcats] resting on top of [their] warm [TVs] , whose moral virtue consists in [their] harmlessness."_ This is part of the _hidden agenda._
"Why aren't we doing this in school" because these are physically fit mentally stable fully developed fully grown adult men who volunteer to do it, I haven't been to many normal schools that are comprised of that. Typically a school is full of a wide range of physicalities, mental states, most have girls and boys, and are comprised of teens who are still developing physically/emotionally/mentally. On top of the fact that normal kids shouldn't be made to go through intense physically and emotionally strenuous training against their will. Like if you want a totalitarian society where kids from a young age are forced into mentally and physically exhausting intensive training while still in their development and remove their choice, sure we should do this in schools, ignoring all the obvious reasons why you wouldn't do this to teenagers. Like what is the suggestion here? Forced body type, mental state, emotional development, self expression, and choice of action? Cause you're not gonna get this as a standard for teens in school unless you make it a requirement for every young person to have well above average physical ability, basically lock box their mental development so that they are prepared to deal with the stress of it, disavow emotions since shocker I know teens are kinda developing emotions with puberty and all so that's a bit of a barrier, completely remove self expression from them so they don't have alternate ideas which any psychologist would tell you is bad, and remove their entire ability to choose what activities they do or don't do outside of what is bare necessity. Without ALL of that then the idea of doing this in schools is total nonsense. And if you were to do that then that would basically be a totalitarian society in a nutshell and would have terrible side effects for future generations development, on top of the precedence set by just how many freedoms you deprive by forcing all these things. Oddly enough in america I'm not quite sure that's gonna fly. I'd rather not, ya know, be dictating someones entire existence under the guise of "it benefits others". There's a million reasons why you wouldn't do this in schools. There is a big difference between grown adult men in physically great shape in a fully developed mental state with a strong handle on their emotions, and still growing teenagers in various physical shapes none of which are even close to done developing mentally who all biologically don't have a complete handle on their emotions. Yeah that's not the group of people you would see much success in with this training. Needless to say, maybe keep this stuff as a voluntary thing that fully capable people are given the choice to do, instead of an involuntary thing that very incapable people are not given a choice on.

One of the very best narratives about this elite force. Eloquent, crisp, descriptive and humble. Great respect for these warriors and patriots. God bless you.
Amarion Johnson pool is nothing compared to the other part. the beach stage. You have to sit there and get wave splashed to ur face in the night. And then run like dozen of miles. All wet and tired. Then u have to join a group with couple of soldiers, all tired and wet. Get a boat off the beacg and try to paddle through the waves. At night when the tide is at its highest. Its fucking gruesome
Alex H Holding your breath isn’t what gets people to quite. People lose hope in being able to untangle that knot, thinking they’re eventually gonna run out Of air they come up. The pint of the whammy knot is to enforce that “die before I quite” mentality which is the most important thing in the field.
I’ve always wanted to go into the us military, ever since I could talk and I’ve always been the trouble maker, I and the class clown. It gives me hope to know that a navy seal was like me growing up and still went into the navy.
I remember in basic when they asked me if I wanted to do the SEAL challenge. I said “But who is going to be road guard?” My Chief dropped me so hard my mother felt it.
I went to college, became an engineer, and joined the navy as an officer, and I have lots of respect for the SEALs, but I am really happy I can enjoy life from a different perspective...good for you buds, good for you.!
This is a great explanation of exactly what I needed. I am dedicated to become a SEAL. I've always been looked down at because of my size, I'm 5'3 and 15 :/, even my own parents doubt me. That doesn't stop me though. I'm so excited for the future and what it holds for me.
if you really want to be a seal you should get your info from somewhere other than buzzfeed. i would look at the navy seal subreddit. its a great community and often real seals will post and answer questions. bunch of great training advice too.
Schmorc hey man the smurf crew is for guys that are 5'5 and shorter I believe so there are definitely some small guys that make it. Not only that but you'll probably grow a few more inches.
Height doesn't determine your strength or determination. I'm about 5'6-7 [which I assume is considered "small"] and I'm going for the Marines in 2 years, likely as a Corpsman or EOD. Hopefully you can get through buds though :) Good luck man, maybe you'll even have a shot at DEVGRU after serving for a bit. Just don't give up, that's what will prevent you from becoming a seal. You can't quit, no matter what.
Great video. Thank you for this. My son is considering BUDS. I was a SAR Swimmer in the Navy. I regret to this day not attempting BUDS. I know 2 people who served in the teams and they tell me that it was life changing.
Let me put it this way guys, I'm a United States Marine, and before I enlisted I wanted to be a SEAL. With that said, even as a Marine, I'm definitely not sure if I could make it through BUDS. Those SEAL's are so tough. That's real sacrifice in my book! It seems to me that these men are willing to die if only to become Navy SEAL's. Let alone the service they actual carry out with all their extensive training. After becoming a Marine, I couldn't have been more impressed with the SEAL's as a group of Men. So Goddamn tough. Again, nothing but respect from this Marine!
Thank u to all the guys serving right now for all yall do If It wasn't for yall I wouldn't be walking right now getting up every day doing what I want to do for my free time
I remember when my cousin and I went fishing and we were on a boat out in Coronado Bay in San Diego next to the military base and we saw them training in the water. They'd go down for quite some time before resurfacing so I'm curious as to what they were doing in the water.
super late here, but they were probably in buds. depending on what you saw them doing, they might've been doing surf torture, which is basically lying down in the surf and letting it washing over them, they might've been getting a sugar cookie, which is rolling in the sand while wet, so you're covered in gritty sand, or they might've been using one of their inflatable rafts and doing stuff with that.
I have been wanting to be in the army since I was 7 and I am 11 now. That has not changed and this is an inspiration that even though that is gonna be the hardest thing ever, it is going to be worth it if I do it right.
Just to clarify, he went into the navy a while ago, now a days, you join the seal challenge program and go straight from boot camp to Naval special warfare prep course. If you try to cross rate into Naval special warfare from the regular navy it will be much harder and there is NO guarantee that you’ll ever get that shot. After BUD/s you go to SQT (SEAL qualification training) and once you graduate SQT you will join your first SEAL team, unless you’re a medic then you’ll go to special operations medical school. The process is much more streamlined now, all the additional training after buds is included in SQT
My brother went to bootcamp in Chicago. It's crazy strict there. When they tell them they can't have any alcohol they really mean it. A guy got kicked out cause he had mouthwash with alcohol in it.
I'm not either hell I can't even join the infantry. The recruiter turned me away for taking medication. I guess I can never experience that brotherhood and bond you forge in basic and in the field.
Can we get some other military guys involved? Someone other than SEALs? Like Marines, Rangers, Green Berets, etc. I mean SEALs are cool, but its good to switch things up.
It seems like the only people that don't sign NDAs are SEALs. They can make these videos and write books. My brother-in-law was in Force Recon in the Marines and he signed a 50 year NDA. Can't talk about his training, where he went, what he did, nothing. He did show us the cool handshake with his buddy and the SS on his chest that they carve out themselves. SS stands for Scout Sniper, in case you didn't know.
I heard somewhere that 'Rambo' type of guys are first to drop out during BUDS training. It's always the quiet, fiercely and mentally strong guys that make it.
There's a documentary about BUDs training. It goes over a lot of stuff. Gives a great idea of the attrition rate and just how difficult it is. Class 224.
Just learned how to swim... I think highly of myself. I know I can be a SEAL if I put the work in, it just hasn’t been in my thoughts. The Air Force and Army were always my favorite branch. Space and Cyberspace have always intrigued me, but I salute you for your service and this very informative video.
I’m a 54 yr old female. This looks fun as all get out. I love it when my day sucks. I love it when it’s tough as hell. Thank you for this video and thank you for your service! My bucket list starts with Jumping.

Ishan Ali Actually I think it’s the tone of his voice, he constantly has a straight face throughout the entire video and his tone of voice is very boring it’s deep and never changes, almost like a robot.
Ishan Ali Did I ask.
Ishan Ali I saw u on the U4
Starwars Geek maybe they are even train to do that..lol....getting in to our mind
Ishan Ali Muhammad Ali?
Thank you Navy Seals for protecting
Our country, we are so proud of you.
One of the very best narratives about this elite force. Eloquent, crisp, descriptive and humble. Great respect for these warriors and patriots. God bless you.
He’s not a seal he’s a human this is click bait
butterflyflyhig IT WAS ALL A LIE! You’re right. He’s not a SEAL.
butterflyflyhig
Huh, it states Navy Seal.
ProudNavyDad SWO r/woooosh
ProudNavyDad SWO ‘‘twas a joke
ProudNavyDad SWO Oh may I ask, did your son go through the Naval Academy then go through BUD/S? It’ll be awesome if you can answer. Hooyah
I don’t think I could do the pool test
i'd drown most likely
Amarion Johnson pool is nothing compared to the other part. the beach stage. You have to sit there and get wave splashed to ur face in the night. And then run like dozen of miles. All wet and tired. Then u have to join a group with couple of soldiers, all tired and wet. Get a boat off the beacg and try to paddle through the waves. At night when the tide is at its highest. Its fucking gruesome
Amarion Johnson Same
Amarion Johnson vthen you cant. Because you fail without faith
I believe in you
I have a lot of respect for this guy.
When he said that’s prolly the longest 20-30 minutes I was dead 💀 I almost drowned
watching him swim I would not just “keep the air in my lungs”
Alex H Holding your breath isn’t what gets people to quite. People lose hope in being able to untangle that knot, thinking they’re eventually gonna run out
Of air they come up. The pint of the whammy knot is to enforce that “die before I quite” mentality which is the most important thing in the field.
Nephew just finished buds and jump school now in sqt kids been a superstar at everylevel in his life
I’ve always wanted to go into the us military, ever since I could talk and I’ve always been the trouble maker, I and the class clown. It gives me hope to know that a navy seal was like me growing up and still went into the navy.
Follow your dreams, what branch you think about?
Kevin C you got this :)
Sounds like an A type personality. Check! Move to the next station.
remember dont get discouraged cus ur a class clown cus the military is literally last oppurtunity for people way worse than u, its not for geniuses
I remember in basic when they asked me if I wanted to do the SEAL challenge.
I said “But who is going to be road guard?”
My Chief dropped me so hard my mother felt it.
JurassicGecko bruh lol
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IM CRYING
Wait please explain this???
I don’t get it
lmao, who's gonna be yum yum po?!?
I went to college, became an engineer, and joined the navy as an officer, and I have lots of respect for the SEALs, but I am really happy I can enjoy life from a different perspective...good for you buds, good for you.!
What did you do in the Navy?
He may seem tough but can he withstand the wrath of his mom

Everybody gangsta until mama arrives.

7:37 Man, great and really inspiring message from a hero who achieved what he sought, need more advice like this!
This is a great explanation of exactly what I needed. I am dedicated to become a SEAL. I've always been looked down at because of my size, I'm 5'3 and 15 :/, even my own parents doubt me. That doesn't stop me though. I'm so excited for the future and what it holds for me.
if you really want to be a seal you should get your info from somewhere other than buzzfeed. i would look at the navy seal subreddit. its a great community and often real seals will post and answer questions. bunch of great training advice too.
Schmorc hey man the smurf crew is for guys that are 5'5 and shorter I believe so there are definitely some small guys that make it. Not only that but you'll probably grow a few more inches.
Schmorc The shortest SEAL was 5’0. Go for it.
Schmorc, Good luck son
Height doesn't determine your strength or determination. I'm about 5'6-7 [which I assume is considered "small"] and I'm going for the Marines in 2 years, likely as a Corpsman or EOD.
Hopefully you can get through buds though :) Good luck man, maybe you'll even have a shot at DEVGRU after serving for a bit. Just don't give up, that's what will prevent you from becoming a seal. You can't quit, no matter what.
Thank you all for your service! God bless you all and God bless America! I love our country let’s not lose it.
I'm a fan of seals. A sealing fan.
Great video. Thank you for this. My son is considering BUDS. I was a SAR Swimmer in the Navy. I regret to this day not attempting BUDS. I know 2 people who served in the teams and they tell me that it was life changing.
This video uplifted me on respect to be humble and reach my goal for seal 🦭🫡
Let me put it this way guys, I'm a United States Marine, and before I enlisted I wanted to be a SEAL. With that said, even as a Marine, I'm definitely not sure if I could make it through BUDS. Those SEAL's are so tough. That's real sacrifice in my book! It seems to me that these men are willing to die if only to become Navy SEAL's. Let alone the service they actual carry out with all their extensive training. After becoming a Marine, I couldn't have been more impressed with the SEAL's as a group of Men. So Goddamn tough. Again, nothing but respect from this Marine!
Rah
Much respect to you as just a Marine. You guys are no joke yourselves. Appreciate your service.
Really really cool information. Thank you for sharing your experiences, and thank you for your service!
Complete 100% dedication to the Navy, you're team members, and unconditional complete dedication to senior personnel. There is nothing less.
These men deserve my salute
Before watching this video I was think thinking of joining after high school.
Keyword: Was
Scared you off?
Jared Benson yea😂😂
Joining the seals or the navy
the whole jump school thing .... nah I'm good
The Thing both. I was thinking of joining but I don’t think I’m made for it
Thank u to all the guys serving right now for all yall do If It wasn't for yall I wouldn't be walking right now getting up every day doing what I want to do for my free time
I literally ran out of breath while watching the pool test
katia garcia dam you fine wats yo ig
I remember when my cousin and I went fishing and we were on a boat out in Coronado Bay in San Diego next to the military base and we saw them training in the water. They'd go down for quite some time before resurfacing so I'm curious as to what they were doing in the water.
Omg ur so lucky
Edit:cuz u have seen the navy seals its my dream!!😍😅
@@therealleviackerman8949 weird dream but cool i guess, hopefully one day you see them
super late here, but they were probably in buds. depending on what you saw them doing, they might've been doing surf torture, which is basically lying down in the surf and letting it washing over them, they might've been getting a sugar cookie, which is rolling in the sand while wet, so you're covered in gritty sand, or they might've been using one of their inflatable rafts and doing stuff with that.
Dauntless initiation.
I have been wanting to be in the army since I was 7 and I am 11 now. That has not changed and this is an inspiration that even though that is gonna be the hardest thing ever, it is going to be worth it if I do it right.
Thank you for so much for sharing this good information thank you for your very valuable service and sacrifice
Me attemps this*
2 mins later
Friend: *Why are there bubbles rising*
Don't try this at home
This sounds sooo fkn intense!!
I can only imagine it would be equal measures of horror... and elation!
Mad respect!🙇🙏
So intelligent, a well executed lesson here, I enjoyed listening to him
Just to clarify, he went into the navy a while ago, now a days, you join the seal challenge program and go straight from boot camp to Naval special warfare prep course. If you try to cross rate into Naval special warfare from the regular navy it will be much harder and there is NO guarantee that you’ll ever get that shot. After BUD/s you go to SQT (SEAL qualification training) and once you graduate SQT you will join your first SEAL team, unless you’re a medic then you’ll go to special operations medical school. The process is much more streamlined now, all the additional training after buds is included in SQT
When’s hell week ?
@@Bman897third week of first phase lol.
I have respect for this man taught him everything he knows.. fun times
SEAL's are such badasses. Unreal!!!
My brother went to bootcamp in Chicago. It's crazy strict there. When they tell them they can't have any alcohol they really mean it. A guy got kicked out cause he had mouthwash with alcohol in it.
Melo No shite mate. They need obedient men, not comedians or rule breakers
Little Napoleon it was mouthwash, you said that like he did it on purpose or he did it to be the cool guy in the class. He could have just not known
*Hey You, Lemme Talk To Ya* Bruh......
Little Napoleon mouthwash is hilarious
Its Cause They dont want drink people with acces to weapons.
I've been practicing to hold my breath for a minute but I always end up passing out and waking up hours later.
WYNOLLO TV lol so relatable
Thunder Gaming ive learned to wear a helmet for these type of situations
WYNOLLO TV smart thinking
"An adult profession of roaming the planet, causing trouble, and not getting caught." Damn, what a badass!
Deipatrous wont be saying that when u have an m16 pointed at ur head
Thank you for your sacrifice! And thank you for giving insight into the training.
Great video. Love the detailed breakdown. Good job and thank you for your service.
"Are you tough enough and smart enough to be a Navy SEAL?"
No. I am not.
Respect and gratitude for those that are.
I'm not either hell I can't even join the infantry. The recruiter turned me away for taking medication. I guess I can never experience that brotherhood and bond you forge in basic and in the field.
great lesson is to know how to stay calm in a stressful situation thanks veteran
Never Quit! Perseverance, strength, endurance!
I didn’t know it was different back then. Now you have to pass a certain score on asvab and pick seal/os as your rate.
Good luck to you young men whom wish to pursue this.
If only you knew the true extent of horror that awaits...
Can we get some other military guys involved? Someone other than SEALs? Like Marines, Rangers, Green Berets, etc. I mean SEALs are cool, but its good to switch things up.
Id like to hear about SWCC dont hear much from them
It seems like the only people that don't sign NDAs are SEALs. They can make these videos and write books. My brother-in-law was in Force Recon in the Marines and he signed a 50 year NDA. Can't talk about his training, where he went, what he did, nothing. He did show us the cool handshake with his buddy and the SS on his chest that they carve out themselves. SS stands for Scout Sniper, in case you didn't know.
They should check out the MARSOC Snipers, the SEAL snipers train with them
girl scouts?
Jon Collier no marsoc trains with the seals, remember marsoc was invented in 2006, but regular marine scout snipers teach seal snipers how to shoot.
I heard somewhere that 'Rambo' type of guys are first to drop out during BUDS training. It's always the quiet, fiercely and mentally strong guys that make it.
4:08 got em
That's a neck
I didn't look at it I swear
HeckinnTV lol 😂
Pulled a sneaky on ya
Outstanding move
Navy seal. I Pray my son can win that training someday like his dada.
My parents were both navy F-18 Fighter Pilots!
Airesto that’s so cool omg
Airesto noice
Cool!
Keep the tradition going 😅
Airesto respect
God bless America and God bless our troops
Thank you thank very much for your dedication and service 👍🏼
There's a documentary about BUDs training. It goes over a lot of stuff. Gives a great idea of the attrition rate and just how difficult it is. Class 224.
Just learned how to swim... I think highly of myself. I know I can be a SEAL if I put the work in, it just hasn’t been in my thoughts.
The Air Force and Army were always my favorite branch. Space and Cyberspace have always intrigued me, but I salute you for your service and this very informative video.

ahh I should go to sleep. I worked so hard today complaining about algebra and I’m exhausted.
This guy
I’m a 54 yr old female. This looks fun as all get out. I love it when my day sucks. I love it when it’s tough as hell. Thank you for this video and thank you for your service! My bucket list starts with Jumping.
he makes the process sound so much easier than it is
It's because you can't describe in words how difficult it is until you actually experience it.
@@daemonzap1481 exactlyyyy
The knowledge part about the training is where I pray
The punisher is real
I thought punisher was Marine Corp
Harry Dowd he was also a SEAL
Izaiah Florés the Punisher was a Marine
Im in awe of these men. They are like real life super heroes to me. Unfortunately i would never be anything like them 😢
Excellent video!! Thanks for making it!
