@@EdwardCostiganthat’s an insecure way to look at it, some of us just develop linguistic habits. It’s no different from someone who says “literally” a lot. It’s just a habit that can be reworked. Assuming someone’s intelligence based on a pattern of speech is absolutely retarded.
This man literally gave this young man a blueprint and he slapped it away due to ego. I watch these videos because they remind me how much you can lead a horse to water, but they refuse to drink. You can hear the know it all mentality in this youngin
My dad didn’t let me go to the Navy until I finished my trade school. That didn’t even give me a commission but it still gave me a skillset that I could use anytime things could go south. Definitely a good idea to finish out college first.
As a guy who was an NCO and then commissioned back into my field as an officer…I will say I wish I would have started out as an officer. Good officers give a shit whether they’re prior service or not. You don’t need 4-8 years of enlisted time to figure this out. Also, this kid is focused on all the wrong things. He doesn’t strike me as being terribly resilient which is why he’s trying to control everything instead of just getting to the next right decision. Combat and combat training, in its essence, is being able to function and get to the next right decision. If I think about the finish line and only the finish line in a marathon…I’ll quit because it will seem too big of a problem to overcome. One mile marker at a time…
This dude is going to be a BM or a SEABEE with a college degree. He's ready to get after it? Be ready to get after mopping the same f****** floor about 8 times a day for about 6 months. I don't remember any officers mopping and sweeping the same P-way about 6 times and doing a thousand fashion shows. Even the ensigns. I wish this dude the best of luck. Be the best UNDES sailor you can if and when you don't get through BUDS. Don't make your shipmates pay for your decision by being a shit bag. I get it though... No one was going to tell me anything either. Had to find out the hard way.

You’re right. It’s a different understanding. Excited for the process of changing your life to fit what you gotta do, but that’s that first
You don't learn from someone's successes, you learn from their mistakes. My father showed me that 1st hand. 33 joining next year. I can't shake the calling. Been trying to for 16 years.

Jake you’re the realest. He’s all smoke right now…all talk…no disrespect just trying to help him!! This is shit more people need to hear. The TRUTH. Absolute fire
I know this a year ago but I’m in a rabbit hole watching these videos and i love what you telling these young dudes. You being 10000% honest with them they need that shit. Enlisting wit a degree is so so stupid. And this is coming from a Chief!
Same here though I wonder what happened with this kid, I had a girl I went to rotc with and she would tell me she was joining the marines and I would tell her she’s gonna quit because she can’t get dolled up every day now she’s a veteran and working in real estate and I got one of the first messages saying I told you so, I was so proud of her and glad I was able to drive her, Hopefully as you drove this young man.
Hearing this gave me a new perspective on my goals Jake your the man Boss the way you talk the truth and hold no punches back we need that in today's society
Love how real this dude is if nothing else you gotta love somebody that doesn’t bullshit you and waste your time. He knows exactly what it takes he can tell within 5 minutes talking to you either it’s a maybe or a no. Great videos
Jake, this guy was all over the place. I'm in meth capital of the US here in the midwest and he sounds like he just got done smoking some and then decided to call you. my anxiety was all over the place since he had no direction at all. Love listening to you give these guys a no BS answer

@@jakezweig hey jake! Stuck between being a officer in the reserves or going officer in the army current teacher at a middle school having second thoughts of going either way!
College is an investment, it would make sense to make use of said investment and go in as an officer. Jake your channel is gold. Your one of the most honest people on RUclips no BS. If the kid quits or gets injured at least as an officer he won’t be chipping paint. I learned from this channel as an officer you will have more opportunities and earn more decent/livable salary. Reality vs fantasy is totally different.
I don't know why I'm addicted to watching these. I was a dentist in the navy with the marine corps... I can't imagine enlisting for experience AFTER college. Jake, you put on some entertaining stuff.
18:40 you gave him some true love here. I hope he listened. And I got a lot of respect for you. Thank you for setting this kids on the right path, or at least trying to 😆 🤣 😂
He was so invested on “Dreaming” he forgot about the part it takes to get in the dream, but for real, Dude shouldn’t even of called you Jake, His mind was set before he clicked that video chat button. Keep it hard Jake! Much love from Maryland!!
This guy is FOS, says he has real estate plans, then saying he's used to not having a plan, then tells you he's only going to be in for 12 years & he wants to be an instructor, etc. Ridiculous. He has a plan & he's only saying what he thinks you want to hear. You can see through his BS. Like Mike Tyson said everyone has a plan until he gets punched in the face.
To graduate BUD/S, you need to run 4 miles on soft sand in 30 minutes, swim 2 miles in 75 minutes in Scuba Pro Jet Fins and complete the O-course in 10 minutes.
@JakeZweig , Man I appreciate your approach not only for putting in work to become a seal, but like how to think about the going after these difficult goals and dreams. I'm in medical school now and I find your videos generally motivating for my process as well since this environment requires you sacrifice and strain through hoops and jumps to get to the final goal over many years time, and failure leaves nothing to show for it. This video really stood out to me because like enlisting and immediately becoming a seal as mentioned here, docs have an idealized pathway of 4yrs college, 4yrs medical school, and then residency, but it's not the best or most attainable pathway for everyone. I struggle with comparing myself to that standard and everyone else around me, but I see I'm neglecting what payout I expect to receive for the grind I'm enduring and for those that sacrificed for me to be here. I also got that If I'm so focused on that plan as opposed to the process of reaching the goal, I can fall to the illusion of failure with the breakdown of that plan when the plan may have been the only thing that needed to go so I could embrace the process to achieve the goal. I'm not sure everybody heard you about your personal experience through BUDS man, that because of who you were you were dished out extra unscripted and unplanned punishment with 4k on your head and you ate it to become who you are. With that said, I'd love to talk more about advice you have in going through it.
Sir, you are a breath of fresh air for these young kids wanting to go special ops or even enlisting. People have to live in a three foot world, not this I’m planning my next decade stuff. Out of HS back in 89 I came close to enlisting in the Navy. My dad sit me down and gave me the officer route speech. Graduated with university degree and was commissioned from ROTC. Competed 21 years back in 2015. Some of the best advice I ever got.
I was prior enlisted before officer. I didn't "have more respect" as a prior enlisted. No one gave a s*** I was prior E. All that matters is if you do a good job. Period.
Never thought I could’ve been military until I saw this specific video I always said I had an issue with authority my brother and dad are army and my cousin is marines in high school my mile run was 6:45 without any training sit ups 80 great swimmer only downfall glasses
This kid is a dreamer. I remember being overseas in the Marines and dreaming how great things were going to be when we get back state side. Dreaming everything between family and relationships would magically fix themselves out since I had been gone on deployment. Then you get back and Reality hits. Nothing changed! All the same BS you dealt with before deployment was waiting for you when you got back, lol.
This man could be a Army Ranger officer and transition into Special Forces. IMO, those pushing age waiver territory should consider SPECWAR enlistment - INTO THE GUARD/RESERVES.
He’s not even for sure of himself. He needs to look at other services. Moreover, I’m getting tired of these Hollywood dreamers going enlisted but, want to work their way up from the bottom. Tell these people to stop watching military movies.
Yeah, he's about to put himself between a wall and a hard place. You always got to give yourself a backup plan. Great advice telling him to get it in writing. So many recruits get themselves in a jam going off a recruiter's word.
Jake the way you talk is just straight up hilarious lol “There was a bug in SOAS that straight up ate some people, shit all over themselves” Bro I was cracking up at the tragedy of that but the way you verbalised that.
I graduated from VMI with an engineering degree and enlisted with a BUDs contract. They found something on an EKG during boot camp and I was disqualified from the program. Funny to me that they do not screen for this during MEPs. Luckily I was able to get out of the military. Things pop up other than just not meeting physical qualifications. It is a gamble.
This kid will probably go on to be successful at something. Which is why it's important to hear this from Jake. I would be one angry SOB in life if after I graduated college, I was stuck on a ship doing a crap job. That lesson could be learned a much harder way. I know at that age, I was susceptible to making poor decisions.
Air Naval Gunfire Marine at 17 here. Thought. Many of these kids seem to want a taste of being GI Joe. Great way IMHO to get the taste is Marine infantry reserves. Get hard boot camp, infantry school and one weekend a month and two weeks a year. Learn the basic skills, see if you LOVE the life or only like it. MUCH of it SUCKS. Majority of it sucks. Some love the suck. Find out with a part time try out. Have a bachelor’s? Work on masters while in reserves. Get in mad shape and if you still want to embrace the suck you will be way ahead of 99 percent of kids watching movies and want to get their pee pee wet.
Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans. Not a Lennon fan but that is truth. One day at a time. A planner who cannot live in the now will never make it thru. The only easy day was yesterday is the planners nightmare.
Jake, you had me dying in this one.. “ you’re holding your mom down and shitting in her mouth” 😂 high school dropout here, got my diploma at 25 because I was lucky enough that my school district still offers diplomas to people after 18. I framed house for 4 years in Minnesota winter after winter. I’m still in construction training 7 days a week 25 mile running weeks, 7000+meter swims each week. Giving myself the rest of the year of this grind until I walk into a recruiter
Congrats brother; however, I recommend considering the Army Special Forces Guard or Reserves. Hell, consider getting a "easy" degree (e.g., Homeland Security, Disaster Management, Construction Management, Business) and commission. Military need solid folk like you in leadership. Regardless, best of luck.
@@juicechronicled2451 thank you for the solid advice, I’ll definitely look into that route as I’m open to options. However being a SEAL is number one to me, my good friend is a seal officer. I may look into army options. We shall see. Thank you🤙🏼
In any field of endeavor, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong…..Murphy is about to unleash hell on this kid. When I went thru the Marine Corps version of this I was selected to go the MARSOC route out of SOI due to PT scores and what not. All I was told was it was awesome and I would be doing cool shit and be promoted faster than my peers that didn’t go this route. I was fine just being an 0311, but that sounded good so I screened. Did all the psych stuff and about 2 days worth of things. They picked me up and a few others in a van after we graduated SOI and roughly 2 weeks after that SHIT GOT REAL. 19 year old kid without a clue what was happening and too dumb to quit….. This guy needs to throw that future shit out the window and grind. Worry about nothing other than getting to where you want to get to. Then when you get there, worry about everything else……and he has to be an idiot wanting to go enlisted. My god.
Been in 12 years so far , Bees not Seals. Just an opinion but not every degree holding Joe College should be or deserves to be an officer especially what some of these universities are crapping out lately .
The respect that Mustangs that one hears about is going to be your CPO and SR NCOs who instead of taking a promotion to E-7 etc commissioned instead. Usually for one of many reasons. If you enlist and then seek a commission 2-3 years down the road, people won’t necessarily see you in the same way as the service member who commissioned after 10 years of being enlisted. The biggest risk is that you leave a lot to chance in those years that your enlisted
@@jakezweig I agree and I am not certain and correct me if I am wrong but in the Navy when an enlisted sailor seeks a commission he or she is restricted to certain career fields?
Dude should humble himself a bit, like listen up you fool, OG giving him the golden truth on what needs to be worked on for him to be successful and he ain't feeling it
Little late but love the vids, speaking on planning stuff, I'm literally the guy that doesn't plan crap except what I have to, my wife plans things all the time but when I do things I do it by the seat of my pants 😂 maybe I should of gave it a go years ago 😂
If you go to Naval Academy your chances of being a SEAL will go up. They do a great job prepping their students for BUDS. I think they even have some type of condensed hell week type event in their pre buds training
He wasn’t looking for advice, he was looking for validation.
Kid said " like" over 10,000 times. Every time you go to say this word replace it with silence instead, it'll make you sound smarter.
Easy way to tell someone is pretending to be clever. A bunch of “like”, “uhh”. Book smarts mean nothing

This kid will probably go on to be successful at something. Which is why it's important to hear this from Jake. I would be one angry SOB in life if after I graduated college, I was stuck on a ship doing a crap job. That lesson could be learned a much harder way. I know at that age, I was susceptible to making poor decisions.
Please let them know
I love your facial expression while he's running his mouth. 😂
Its hard man
This guy don’t even have a plain B he just feel he’s going to miracle his ass into SEAL training.
There is no plan b brotha
Im stealing that mike ..... you want a miracle ..... try to walk across the pacific ocean if you make it ... go to buds ... new test
@@jakezweig 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“You got your mouth on a crack pipe right now…” 😂😂😂
IT IS CRAZY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love the honesty.
FIRE
Jedi immune haha awesome line
I enlisted in 2013 at 18. I chased the dream but didn’t make it. Now I’m in university majoring in physics
BETTER OFF FOR IT
goddam, love the honesty bro!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sometimes seems like people aren't great at really listening.
Air Naval Gunfire Marine at 17 here. Thought. Many of these kids seem to want a taste of being GI Joe. Great way IMHO to get the taste is Marine infantry reserves. Get hard boot camp, infantry school and one weekend a month and two weeks a year. Learn the basic skills, see if you LOVE the life or only like it. MUCH of it SUCKS. Majority of it sucks. Some love the suck. Find out with a part time try out. Have a bachelor’s? Work on masters while in reserves. Get in mad shape and if you still want to embrace the suck you will be way ahead of 99 percent of kids watching movies and want to get their pee pee wet.
Life is what happens to you when you're busy making other plans. Not a Lennon fan but that is truth. One day at a time. A planner who cannot live in the now will never make it thru. The only easy day was yesterday is the planners nightmare.
Painfully to the point..I like that
This kid is getting good game.
The kid couldn't survive the first day of Bud's. .. 😂 "everybody has a plan, until they are hit."
CRAZYNESS

Jake, you had me dying in this one.. “ you’re holding your mom down and shitting in her mouth” 😂 high school dropout here, got my diploma at 25 because I was lucky enough that my school district still offers diplomas to people after 18.
I framed house for 4 years in Minnesota winter after winter. I’m still in construction training 7 days a week 25 mile running weeks, 7000+meter swims each week. Giving myself the rest of the year of this grind until I walk into a recruiter
Congrats brother; however, I recommend considering the Army Special Forces Guard or Reserves. Hell, consider getting a "easy" degree (e.g., Homeland Security, Disaster Management, Construction Management, Business) and commission. Military need solid folk like you in leadership. Regardless, best of luck.
@@juicechronicled2451 thank you for the solid advice, I’ll definitely look into that route as I’m open to options. However being a SEAL is number one to me, my good friend is a seal officer. I may look into army options. We shall see. Thank you🤙🏼
10000 it will make those winters framing look like icecream parties
@@jakezweig I believe you 😁
Airforce got a 50k enlistment bonus for their special warfare program.
I dropped my SO contract. Navy ain't happy. THEY ALMOST GOT ME
In any field of endeavor, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong…..Murphy is about to unleash hell on this kid. When I went thru the Marine Corps version of this I was selected to go the MARSOC route out of SOI due to PT scores and what not. All I was told was it was awesome and I would be doing cool shit and be promoted faster than my peers that didn’t go this route. I was fine just being an 0311, but that sounded good so I screened. Did all the psych stuff and about 2 days worth of things. They picked me up and a few others in a van after we graduated SOI and roughly 2 weeks after that SHIT GOT REAL. 19 year old kid without a clue what was happening and too dumb to quit….. This guy needs to throw that future shit out the window and grind. Worry about nothing other than getting to where you want to get to. Then when you get there, worry about everything else……and he has to be an idiot wanting to go enlisted. My god.
FOG OF WAR is pitch black
@@jakezweig facts
I wish I had messaged you back when I was in the Navy.
What are you doing now?
@@jakezweig I'm doing crossfit now because I am medically retired from the Navy but I'm going to start school to get a business degree soon.
Been in 12 years so far , Bees not Seals. Just an opinion but not every degree holding Joe College should be or deserves to be an officer especially what some of these universities are crapping out lately .
ONE DAMN DAY AT A TIME!!!!
I’m on the same boat as this guy. 3rd year of college but I’m going to become a seal then a pj after a few years. Then CAG. Then CIA ground branch.
I like the way you think
BOOOOOOOOOOM just saying it sounds so crazy
Is this before or after you become president in 2024?
I hope your joking. You might even be the first astronaut to explore Space with no space vessel of any kind and just alone and free.
@@justinlewis5282 I was reading your comment like was is this guy talking about then I started laughing
The respect that Mustangs that one hears about is going to be your CPO and SR NCOs who instead of taking a promotion to E-7 etc commissioned instead. Usually for one of many reasons. If you enlist and then seek a commission 2-3 years down the road, people won’t necessarily see you in the same way as the service member who commissioned after 10 years of being enlisted.
The biggest risk is that you leave a lot to chance in those years that your enlisted
I agree, but look at the numbers.
@@jakezweig I agree and I am not certain and correct me if I am wrong but in the Navy when an enlisted sailor seeks a commission he or she is restricted to certain career fields?
Nothing wrong with finding exactly what you're trying to do. The realism doesn't seem to set in with a few of these gentlemen.
No it does not
Ahhhh...
the infamous "crack pipe" video
Jake was talking about when he laced up
and schooled the Pre-Med Student.
Dude should humble himself a bit, like listen up you fool, OG giving him the golden truth on what needs to be worked on for him to be successful and he ain't feeling it
Little late but love the vids, speaking on planning stuff, I'm literally the guy that doesn't plan crap except what I have to, my wife plans things all the time but when I do things I do it by the seat of my pants 😂 maybe I should of gave it a go years ago 😂
I'm the same way unless it is something big
This fool has a perfect life with a great future and he's going to fuck it all up in the Navy. SMDH.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm trying to tell him
Like like like like,,take a taquila shot every time dude says like 🤣
gonna see him on the news trying to burn down the next boat after being designated rust checker
also 12 pull ups lol
FACTS
Oof
@Sayin wat based
If you go to Naval Academy your chances of being a SEAL will go up. They do a great job prepping their students for BUDS. I think they even have some type of condensed hell week type event in their pre buds training
Nope 121 qualed for 30 spots. SOAS is open to everyone. Prep then hit SOAS
