I had a very similar mindset when I joined the Marine Corps. My goal was to fly attack jets F-4s and later F/A-18s. What sealed my determination was my father telling me I was crazy, I’d never ever make it. He cried like a baby when I made it.
I was in the Navy. Not a SEAL. I still say that most of this holds true. I saw sooo many cheating spouses, divorces, and craziness with relationships. I knew early on, that having a girlfriend or a wife while enlisted was not a good idea.
I knew this when a guy who was in army boot camp and his girl was at my apartment looking for love. I'm from a Navy town and Navy wives were known to be easy. So yes, millitary men very often get bottom of the barrel women. I think the millitary encourages it, by giving apartments and housing allowances to married men while forcing single guys to live in a barracks and eat galley food. They just marry the 1st one that's willing to, so they can get off the base.
I was in the Navy as well for six years, served two warships and "lived" on the entire time underway or in port because I was not married. I would NEVER advise anyone to get married while in the Navy it will most likely end in divorce or other trouble. Its not "the Navy" that causes the issues it just the amount of time away and most people are young, stay single till you get out. As far as having a GF try not to fall in love or have kids togther you will not want those ties when it comes to end. I went on three major deployments at sea and saw plenty of dear john letters and missing loved ones on the pier when we got back.
I wish I had this advice back in the day. I was prepared in every other way but this. Because of this, I've lived behind enemy lines since my daughter was born. I agree 1000%. Ditch everything. Nothing else exists. The Trident is all or nothing. You are not special. You are not the exception. You earned it or you didn't. I failed.
I left the navy after my enlistment ended because all I did was clean the engine room everyday. I resented it. Why did I go to sub school, A school, and C school so I could wipe down the engine room everyday for three hours. Our Captain and the ward room treated all blue shirts like garbage. And then seemed offended that I refused to sign up for another six years of abuse.
Dude, you're absolutely right about the marriage and GF thing. I'm not an operator, but I knew a guy who went to PJ Indoc who told me this kid quit at week 7 because his GF was going to leave him. The kid was on track to graduate and even the instructors tried to talk him out of it. Guess what happened, his GF left him anyway. He gave up on his dream because he didn't see the big picture. I would say that if you're going to join the military don't get married period. I saw so much infidelity on active duty that I'm glad I stayed single for all four years.
Week 7 though….you still got a hell of a long damn way to go before you’re a SEAL, even if you make it fully and get on a team a lot of guys get washed out of there.

Good advice about getting rid of everything. When I graduated USAF OTS, except for the uniform I had on, everything I owned was in my duffel bag. Also, I never had a Plan B.

Very true about relationships. Its better to be single qhile in the military. It's hard to have a physical relationship when you're gone practically all the time. Very few people will be faithful and determined enough for that lifestyle.
I'm glad to hear you actually discouraging people from joining that shitshow, and yet still giving out advice on how to do what you do best. Don't join the military.
I know I bug you in every video with my comments but here we go I love these videos. I’m 53 now and retired from USAC sprint car racing last year and had to have neck surgery so these videos have helped me have something to do now even though I’m an ironworker. I had a wife when I signed up in 92, she was a titty dancer so signing up was my way to get away from her, lol. I was racing at perris California in 07 when you got in. I wish I had your address I’d send you one of my racing t shirts cause I only have a few left. Your vids have helped me and yes I’m a Norse pagan so I like giving gifts to people that have helped me. Thank you brother!
not going seals I'm on a marine recon contract(I ship one month from now) so a little different but very similar but what you are saying is very interesting because I was praying about how to go about getting to recon and my original plan was to go infantry and volunteer because then if I quit then at least I would end up in the infantry. but god changed it and my recruiter gave me a recon contract instead now i have no plan b if i quit my contract becomes an open contract so now i can't quit i have to make it, and now my motivation is that this is where god wants me. thanks for the motivational, tips, and instruction. and god bless.
This is single handedly the best and most honest information about this subject I’ve seen on RUclips to date. I won’t call it advice, on account of it being 110% fact. Let’s pray your words reach open ears.
That is the best advice I've heard to date and applies to many other career choices as well Always appreciate and enjoy your honest opinions on life my friend Be well and God Bless You and Yours
WOW!! Just give up all that I am now????? Give up my Guitar, my Car......I cannot do what you did. You have more discipline than me.........GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!
So true!!!!!👍 Thank you for your service. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 I saw the Discovery special back in the day and class... had this one guy that quit because he went home that weekend to his wife and kids. He came back and started making excuses that this was not for him. Physically he was still there but mentally checked out. Great advice in life. Period!!!!
Total commitment! It's absolutely amazing what a person can do when they have no other options. I'm guessing it's different when a person chooses it vs. having it placed on one.
I am a retired US NAVY Chief P.O. I like your channel and have pretty much a like-mind! Having a GF while in the Navy is hard, and having a wife while in the Navy, if good, is golden. I still keep a pretty good haircut and shave though. You are your own man. God Bless, Jesus is King!
So fucking true, i had a wife that hated i was in buds, left buds to please her and ended up divorced anyway. I will never know if i would of made it through. I still retired from the navy and not one day goes by that i think what if.
Chad that was awesome video. I never served in the military and I doubt I would of got through Seal Training if I had of chosen that life when I was young. I had a problem with authority telling me what to do but that being said everything I set my mind to I was able to be successful. Chad you are appreciated!
Giving up all those distractions and worldly things sounds liberating. To a lesser degree, while I was deployed forward, I did experience alot of that mental freedom. When I went back to the big FOBs on occasion, I was dumbfounded to find many service members who had recreated all the stressors of the world with internet bills, internet shopping etc. Felt sorry for them.
That is one hell of a topic nobody talks about. I would go a bit further and say it's about the same even for other armies where selection process isn't even that hard. Still need to dump everything else, at least for a while.
Wise advice, before leaving for marine boot in 1994 I broke up with my girlfriend (got a couple nasty letters during boot) and gave my junky car, everything, to my little brother. Had no plan B either. Never got married during my enlistment (being stationed in the desert of 29 Palms between deployments helped), marriage was HIGHLY discouraged for anyone below a staff NCO. Minimizing complications helps with focus.
Absolutely 100% true. I think you have to discipline yourself minimum of two years , exercise every day, swim every day, learn a different language, learn about medical, learn about the weapons how to shoot, learn about nothing else but the seal team. Only life or death. no exceptions. You’ll run until your feet start bleeding you punch punch until you have nothing left, and then punch some more. It is not for everybody .
AhahHa I love your minimalism rant. I almost did all of that before going army infantry in 2008. I gave my little sister my car, donated all my clothes, but kept a few cherished family items and my hunting guns. The down side is that when I came home on mid tour leave I was like “aww shit I have nothing to wear!” Ahaha
Heres the dilema i fond my self, im a supposed perfect fit for seals. I have no relationships, i own very little, im not sure how my plan A is working out, and i find my plan B wanting to be a seal. I want civilian life to work for me, i want to be wealthy, have a woman, have kids. But in my 23 years of life, i find myself unsucessful in those things. Ive always thought about being a seal, about how i would have a purpose finally. I sit here now looking at the scope of a civilian life, and the scope doesnt look good. But neither does being bossed around by a corrupt government. I guess the benefit is they train and pay me to be one of the deadliest weapons on the planet. I feel like my mind is already made up, but at the same time i feel like its not. I know i have what it takes to be seal, my mind is there already, but i dont know if i have what it takes to be a star citizen(no pun intended for those who know). My biggest thing id leave behind if i became a seal is my videogames, they are the grease for the ever turning cogs in my head. But maybe being out where i feel i really belong will grease the gears. My goal in life already is to be prepared for anything, and be the deadliest person in the room. Bud/s would give that to me.
I’m glad USAF pilot training wasn’t as difficult as SEAL’s because then I didn’t need to sell my new GTO. I didn’t have a wife or a girlfriend though, so I could concentrate on my drinking and chasing the girls at the nearby college. Washout rate was 50%+.
I honestly have no interest in doing Buds as my long distance running is terrible. Still interested in this youtube series though and wondering how much do you love the water in general Chadd? I notice you live in the woods now but do you love the ocean?
when he talks about the plan b (such as college) if you attempt the BUDS program, youd still have to enlist in the Navy and be committed to 4 years correct? Like i couldnt just get to BUDS and not pass eventually and go back to my degree right?
As a record holding employee at work that mentality and training still holds true today. I have 160 hours vacation and 40 hours personal time saved up on my file record. In my experience people with kids and even worse if they are married always have a excuse not to come to work or to leave early. It's ridiculous actually and lame BS excuses usually. NONE of these people would risk their own lives or livelihood to save anybody or anything. Many are hypochondriacs as well and just have poor work ethics. That's why they aren't the one with the guns IN THE BUILDING and I am handpicked by top management and the CEO because they have access to my past and files.
I think you should be honest and say even if you give up all these things like girl friend, wife, plan B, possessions including guns that’s no guarantee you will succeed in Buds. That’s the real story here!
That’s not true, cus guys that have a plan B always quit cus it’s easier in big Navy. The guys that made it, went all in. They trained hard for it, and made it a commitment for them. They matured and trained their mind as well. All in, no plan B.
Yep one has to train they're own mind just to make the move into the military. You have to be mentally prepared for a completely different way of life. The instructors are there when you hit the ground. It's not like anything I've ever experienced. You are a great man Chad glad you are sharing this very important information.
I'm not a SEAL, or even ex-military, but that's what a lot of people don't understand. Most of the instructors want everyone to succeed. But they know most won't and only the very best will (and should). So they have to bring up the level to weed out the weak. This, versus what most people think, namely that the instructors are trying to break everyone. I would think that an instructor would be proud if every class graduated at 100%. Bu then they'd quickly realize that the program had gotten soft... LOL Thanks for your sacrifice!

OUTSTANDING ❤
Solid Advice!
This is great information.
Im training my 8 year old grandson seal training.
He's a better swimmer than the local lifeguards. 😊
Don't live your broken dreams through your Grandson.
I say this because it happened to me. It didn't make me a SEAL or a better Person..
@wilfordbrumly5598 Lol.. I never have zero broken dreams. I didn't dream.
I did it.
Condolences to you, though
@@bullpups check your meds
@bullpups while I agree with your 2nd point, just because you don't believe someone is a SEAL doesn't mean they aren't a SEAL either.
I’m glad USAF pilot training wasn’t as difficult as SEAL’s because then I didn’t need to sell my new GTO. I didn’t have a wife or a girlfriend though, so I could concentrate on my drinking and chasing the girls at the nearby college. Washout rate was 50%+.
I honestly have no interest in doing Buds as my long distance running is terrible. Still interested in this youtube series though and wondering how much do you love the water in general Chadd? I notice you live in the woods now but do you love the ocean?
What if I went to college to be ready for like land navigation and stuff like that.
You may have retired but your beard definitely stayed active
How would we train physically?
Im looking for a mentor preferably somone thts been thro buds and is a seal but i have no idea how to even find somone like that
when he talks about the plan b (such as college) if you attempt the BUDS program, youd still have to enlist in the Navy and be committed to 4 years correct? Like i couldnt just get to BUDS and not pass eventually and go back to my degree right?
Senior Chief Shipley went thru BUDs and teams with his Boatswain wife girlfriend in tow, pretty rare thing though.
As a record holding employee at work that mentality and training still holds true today. I have 160 hours vacation and 40 hours personal time saved up on my file record. In my experience people with kids and even worse if they are married always have a excuse not to come to work or to leave early. It's ridiculous actually and lame BS excuses usually. NONE of these people would risk their own lives or livelihood to save anybody or anything. Many are hypochondriacs as well and just have poor work ethics. That's why they aren't the one with the guns IN THE BUILDING and I am handpicked by top management and the CEO because they have access to my past and files.
I think you should be honest and say even if you give up all these things like girl friend, wife, plan B, possessions including guns that’s no guarantee you will succeed in Buds. That’s the real story here!
That’s not true, cus guys that have a plan B always quit cus it’s easier in big Navy. The guys that made it, went all in. They trained hard for it, and made it a commitment for them. They matured and trained their mind as well. All in, no plan B.
Hey...no NUFF SAID. How do we know it's over?
Obviously it's not about muscles seeing you. I knew this. It's more about never giving up
I've always said first term enlistments should not be allowed to be married or get married.
Everybody wants to be a action guy until the targets start shooting back...
Get ready to run with a phone pole on your shoulder
That's reality that whey nobody wastes their time. 👍
Yep one has to train they're own mind just to make the move into the military. You have to be mentally prepared for a completely different way of life. The instructors are there when you hit the ground. It's not like anything I've ever experienced.
You are a great man Chad glad you are sharing this very important information.
To be in the military a person has to be order following trash.
Frank Cutler was my mentor too. Great guy, he really wanted us recruits to succeed.
I'm not a SEAL, or even ex-military, but that's what a lot of people don't understand. Most of the instructors want everyone to succeed. But they know most won't and only the very best will (and should). So they have to bring up the level to weed out the weak.
This, versus what most people think, namely that the instructors are trying to break everyone. I would think that an instructor would be proud if every class graduated at 100%. Bu then they'd quickly realize that the program had gotten soft... LOL
Thanks for your sacrifice!
It used to be you had to spend 4 years in the navy before you could even think about trying out for the teams.
Maybe it was one had to obtain a rating before being able to try for the teams.
@@rheisz1you can apply from civilian to seal
@@ةةةةةةةةةةة since when lol
When i was a voluntold recruiter all the kids that had girlfriends I told them break it off before you leave no BS it won't work.
Hey man why dont you recommend it ?
The ONLY thing you cant do away with is that delicious kerrygold garlic and herbs butter damn it!
Why do you advice ppl against joining the military? I've heard multiple vets tell everybody they know to not join lol.
Having known a handful of 🐸men, only one was married with kids, and they were a very far #2 on the priority list.
I served in the navy over 20 years ago. I was not a seal. I saw lits if divirces cheating lieing etc. Being single in the military isnt a bad thing
Do I need to learn how to swim before I get to buds?
Chad's thigh muscles imply to an astute person that he is NOT to be fucked with.🤘😎⭐
