@@jakezweig I'm retired Air Force Special Ops. I retired and literally started my trucking business because of you Jake.... And you need to know that. After serving over twenty something years in the Air Force I'm still out here doing it bruh! Thanks for the ultimate motivation Jake!
@@jakezweig Damn bro that's awesome! And Jake I can't thank you enough for the motivation to inspire me to have that "get up and go spirit" each and every day to go out there and kick butt running my business! Keep doing what you're doing brother because there's no telling how many other guys you're inspiring aside from myself.
People stupidly say that there is no "racism" in the military. Well that is absolutely bs. What Jake went through is evidence that it is alive and well; especially in the SpecOps community. It is, what it is.. Kudos to Jake, my Dad, David Goggins and other brothers for their perseverance
Fascists need to worship the military and they need the story to be that the military is not flawed in any way. Like they do with cops. This country is gonna have an interesting couple of decades ahead of it.
@@jakezweig No, unfortunately not. This was in 1999, and I was just about to go into the Navy, and I broke my femur, so it may have been a disqualification. And I just had my 39th birthday, so that may also be a hindrance.
@O M: Obviously, you're really suckered in by that KKK fallacy as if those morons have an iota of influence on civilized people. The U.S. adult population is over 252 Million. The KKK has a total membership of about 4 thousand. The only thing those blithering idiots are good for is a good burst of laughter.
WOW! what an inspiring story. I am a black female Officer Seabee in the Navy and can relate to the struggles and the feeling of knowing you aren't welcome. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully I can overcome all my obstacles just as you have.
Keep your head up. I am a Captain in the Air Force and we have to keep paving the way for the little black girls and boys out there who have the potential!! Keep your head up!!
read this shit over and over until it clicks in your fuckin brain guys. This Man is a positive Warrior that wants a challenge and willingly will pass out or “kill himself” could he count on instructors to save him? Nope.. only saving to be done was on his own accord.
That ran through my head too.. Mr.Mackey from south park lol. I wonder if his seal buddies reference him like that or anyone that knows him. Hey guys I'm gonna call up mmkayyy up and see what he is up to lol.
Sir, you have my upmost respect to come out on top with everything working against you. What really hit home in this video and what I can relate to is when you said about the other guys can fail a section and be ok, but you weren’t playing under those same rules. This exactly how I felt during my years at UGA College of Pharmacy as one of only 2 African American males in my class of 140. We really need to hear your voice in our community to show younger kids that what society might tell them is impossible is very possible if you rather die before you fail! Thanks brother
Thank you for your service. Im always so intrigued by these SEAL stories. You guys are truley another breed of human. My accomplishment was Army Infantry with 1 Year in combat Ramadi and Fallujah 2003-2004 era. Lots of all night stack team door kicking. That was enough for me. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@jakezweig Let me just say that operators like you, David Goggans and the few others that represent our small minority in special operations give all of us young guys the motivation and example to keep pushing. I’m only 33 now but I spent 6 years in SWCC before I was medically discharged and of the 800 or so SWCC operators I was one of only 26 African Americans on active duty during my time. Although times have changed there is most DEFINITELY still a stigma against blacks in Special operations especially when it comes to the Seals or SWCC. There’s a lot of stereotyping and almost distrust for us which means we have to go even further and beyond to prove ourselves. But we did it, thanks for helping pave the way!! “On time, on target, NEVER quit”
You two need to reach out to black teenagers. Sadly all my black friends were influenced by the movie, "Boyz N Tha Hood" where they say "Black men ain't got no place in the army.", which is fucking bullshit. Now the youth is idolizing instagram rappers who get murdered. You guys have an opportunity to make a difference in many young kids' lives. Special Forces isn't some, "white people shit", take advantage now that you two are out, talk to high schools, you'd be surprised how much a simple 40 minute speech can influence.
@saucejohnson9862 Make sure you take the time and speak to you white youth. They all seem to be opioid addicted and influenced by school shooters. You, sir, can make a difference .
@Victorio Guerra it's not a stereotype when it comes to black people and water. And alot of black people get lost in their environments and dont prefer to make the choice to get yelled at and follow orders for their career
@@jakezweig Keeping all of this in mind while training to ship out in 2 weeks on a SWCC contract. I'm only 130 lbs, but I still have trouble in the pool. I'm stuck in the 10:40's for a 500 CSS. I'm not necessarily worried about boot camp. I however am a little scared of Coronado lol. My run, Push-ups, Situps, and Pull-ups are okay, however I want to get better with swimming. I am committed to earning the pin by any means necessary. However, there isn't really any information on SWCC out there. Is there anything you'd recommend to gut-check myself on, or any advice in general?
Hell of story....glad i got to serve with warrior's like you, although i hated setting up blocking positions while yall got to go in and have the fun haha, Army Infantry, Afghanistan 2006

Great video. Came here from your interview with Lively which was superb. Knew of him and Class 234 since watching the documentary back in 2007. I had not had the privilege of "knowing' you until "meeting" you in the interview.👍🏿. As a 75 year old vet, when we grew up, back in the day, we were told from the earliest, to always do 110%. It was teaching moment, said for a reason. by our elders, who may have had less education than we did, but understood the value of education and working hard, if not in fact harder, than our white counter parts. That is stated as a fact of life not a statement of victimhood. THIS is not a bad world we live in and there are a lot of us damn good people of all shapes, sizes, descriptions and colors in it. Be it in the military or in the world, It just that there are some knuckleheads who have a perspective on life that no legislation can change what is in their hearts and souls. Sometimes the best payback is not kicking someone else's ass, physically, but kicking their ass by being 400%[better] prepared and leaving them sitting in their quicksand of ignorance and being unprepared. Now I'm gonna retire my podium, lol. Thank you sir, and keep up the great work. E-7 USAR, Ret
@@jakezweig Due to covid my ship date was moved from may to last September. I hurt my achilles in Great Lakes and rerated to MA. I analysed what my weaknesses were and now I'm back to training. Looking back, I probably should have waited until covid was fully over before shipping out. But I'll be back in the game once im finished at my current command
Very inspirational story. As a african american male I wanted to do something insane like joining the special forces . I'm not physically fit. But I believe I am mentally. I dotn know what the future holds for me but I realized from you that I won't be controlled physically. The game is all in your head and you can achieve anything. Thanks for sharing your story.
Man this was an absolute testimony, i think i really needed this. Everyday you have to earn your trident, every day you prepare as if tomorrow is the superbowl. everyday is tuesday, and youll get through anything in life.
It was great chatting today on the phone Jake. Man hearing your stories man, really pumps me up to want to go after such a badass job. You’re a tough dude and I agree with these comments that say that racism and blatant torture like that should be investigated and they reprimanded. I’m going to pursue that pilot slot though. Hope to keep in touch brother. Let’s get some minorities in those officer positions!
I’m going to try out for SEAL training after I graduate college in a year and a half, and I’ve been training for about a year already. I hope to get on your level one day haha
Great video! I was Goggins’ indoc roommate in 235. I listen to many of these stories but think it would be way more fun to tell them. I was not fully prepared and it upsets me at times. For anybody going to be BUD/S take advantage of this knowledge and prep in all areas physically. It is a life long purgatory if you cheat yourself on your dreams. I am still trying to prove myself to myself everyday. Great video! Great story!
Man, I'm glad i got to hear this speech. Really puts life into perspective to understand no matter how hard someone tries to break you, you are the only one in control of your Destiny. Sleeping outside in your underwear for 5 fucking days? Mentally they went to the extreme to break you. I spent 2 years of literally every waking moment of my life trying to join the Army. 265 pounds, criminal record, traffic record, and at 29 years of age. I trained 7 days a week, went to MEPs more times than i can count, interview with a company commander and battalion commander, psychological evaluation, moral wavier, and starved myself and dehydrated myself for days and weeks at a time. Wavier went up to USAREC to a 1 star general in October 2016 and was disapproved. Than march 2017 i tried again with our new Commander and Chief. Enlisted as 11X 11X March 2017. Bitter sweet unfortunately I was medically Discharged and that followed up with kidney problems and ankle surgery. But, this moment right now I am Training to join by july. This speech allowed me to understand its not about the past or your failures, its about your preparation and your will to never quit on yourself.
Remarkable story. You should be a speaker at all inner city high schools, in order to inspire our Black youth to change their lives and be the best that they can be. I know people like you, smart, gifted athletically, and tough mentally. I still can't believe that you "played" with the instructors minds. Wasn't the training hard enough? Thumbs up and new subscriber. And I do remember seeing Buddy Young at his brief time with the Colts in Memorial Stadium.
Jake, you are truly an inspiration!! It would be awesome, I think, if your story was told by you, on the big screen!! The gritty and all, your journey to excellence!!
I just want to say. Guys like you, David goggins and Jocko willink, have inspired to join the navy. At the moment I currently weigh 360 at 6” tall. I have a LONG way to go before I talk to a recruiter, but it’s something I want to pursue. I appreciate your words
Sir. Much respect for your journey and success. I'm 45 and wished I had pursued a career as a SEAL. The information was never made available as I was growing up. I'd give anything to spend a day with a SEAL for their knowledge and advice. Much Respect
@@jakezweig hahah cool!!! Go for it! The fact is that everyone practices stoicism, but not everyone practices it all the time. you sir seem to have done that for a very long time!!
I am thankful my son sent this to me. I have always felt that my son could have gone further N the marines he had so much potential to be his best. I am not saying this because I am his mom. I say this because of what I witness he had a curve in his spine he has proven to himself just how important his growth to himself as a man. People with titles in the jobs he worked and the military have looked at him because of his quirkiness he used to be a bookworm. He’s a wonderful writer, and he has a strong gutsy sense of life and people. N because of his communication skills some people have looked at him. It’s being arrogant when he’s not some people have been quick to pass judgment on him, and a lot of people have not been in his corner in a positive ways for him to be able to elevate up that ladder. Some of the people in the military will titles have put him in a position to train others into elevate them, but never heal. Can you imagine a disappointment as a parent when you know your child’s potential but he’s being used to elevate someone else, and the people who assigned the jobs to him, knew this And they fell short and a disappointment to our country for not utilizing all of the young man of color who is in the kitchen, cooking meals. And because of that, the Marines lost a lot of good men that they could have caught a strong niche within the black community of strong men serving in America, but I know people don’t wanna believe and understand that even Black people who have titles in above others they are the main ones who keep Men and women of color in a certain category S if only once you go up that category so watching this and looking at this young man I’m very proud of what he is saying, but I do know every military branch should have done better by the people who put their lives on the live to serve in America My son to me N others will always be A positive nature he is just a well-rounded individual who has had trials and mishaps but still he stands strong, and I have always felt that he has not gotten his do based on him being quiet and observant and a person of honor honest and humble and trustworthy as a young man of principle, and willing to talk up for people who voices are not hurt. Please don’t take the statement as if I’m putting my son on a pedestal. No he’s not on the pedestal. He had it since he made his mistakes but when I basically said that when you have a young man of color who joins the military? They are treated so poorly so mishandled when they come through the door with skills because of parents like me. You’re some of the toughest men on earth and willing to meet the challenge. My son is not called T.I.M.for nothing. He is incredible to me and his family and other. His sister called him TAZ.
This is a remarkable and inspirational story of overcoming difficult odds and unjustified bias. Thank you for sharing. They could have killed you with all the hazing and animus but you were prepared to die and you endured the ordeal
I enjoy your podcasts in general, but I was swiping past this episode because I just wasn’t overly interested in facing what you had to say about institutional racism in SOCOM, etc… I think I get it now. I was a non-swimmer before joining the USMC, so this hit home even though it was not level five training for me. This may be top ten episode for me now. Much respect. Thanks for sharing Jake.
Hey Jake. I really admire watching your videos, I like them. I just started watching your content. I’m currently training for SEALs. I’m 24 years old, just a basic average dude, nothing special, who really slacked a lot during high school, no college degree, just working full time doing front desk security. idk if it’s too late to train for NSW but it’s been a long life dream of mine to serve my country. I just took the initiative to take this path serious, started training this year, put in the hard work, reading a lot of books, basically doing everything that I should’ve done during my HS career. Is there a way I can get in contact with you and ask questions? Thanks Sir.
@@jakezweig hey bro, i know this sounds kind of dumb, but I've always looked up to you. I'm older now, but i always remembered you. Sometimes i get scared, but i push through life's obstacles. Thank you ...
Great insight. My son wants to be a Seal. Know there’s not many of our color that enter and pass. Hopefully with men like you that have blazed the way, things have gotten better culturally. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
What's it got to do with culture? Either you have the mindset or you don't. The physical training part is the easy part. The hard part is convincing yourself that all that hard training is worth what you want for yourself.
Jake Zweig hey Mr. Zweig i recently joined the Navy myself (ship for basic in 2 months) i joined so i can become a navy seal. My problem right now is keeping my training regimen disciplined and wanted to know if i can talk with you more on honing my training in through email or whatever sir.
Make sure you put the cover sheet on that TPS report mmm’kaayy. Great stories bro, I remember you from Top Shot. You were not playing their games lol!! Look forward to more videos!!
So I am 18 as of now but I'm planning on joining the navy In 4-6 years. I injured my back from wrestling and jiujitsu so I have to take a while to recover my injury and eventually get into better shape. I am just now again starting to train but lightly for the next six months or so. I am skinny (5'11" 152) because of the cutting I had to do for wrestling but I was wondering what it would take to get you as a mentor in a few years?
Ever notice swim buddies are always the guy you fought with and now is your best friend. In bootcamp I got 300 8 counts with a puddle of sweat under me and marching party every night and were pissed i didn't sweat to stain my dungarees
Jake Zweig, yeah, man. The squadron I was attached to flew a lot of the platoons around on training missions back in the early ‘90’s. Mostly it was guys from ST5. From up in Fallon, NV; down in Niland, CA; up in Montana (that was a good one. Discovery channel was filming echo platoon SEAL Team 5 guys); Cobra Gold 1993 in Thailand was good. SEALs marked their van saying they were Navy Band. Funny.
The De-Con story- was the best- I was crying! "You got hotter!" They might of check you and found out you were a mutant of some sort! And the Frog Hill story is #2~. Your stories are EPIC! Did that instructor that you mentioned, try to fight you close to the end of BUDs training? It sounded like the powers that be- didn't want you to complete BUDs. But the stories and your experience, that's for sharing! Can you speak on how many black officers are in the Seal community now? still under 20?
Jake you may not remember me but can haven't forgotten you for the past 30 years. Back in 1992 you were at RTC Great Lakes and I was a 18 yo recruit. I, being a black inner city kid, could not swim and had a fear of water due to nearly drowning when I was very young. I took the swim test and failed probably four times before my encounter with you that day at the pool. I jumped in, tired as all hell, but you encouraged me and I kept going. I was barely able to meet the 3rd class swimmer requirements (literally the tip of my finger) and you had this look on your face like you were not very pleased and did not want to pass me. I hope you saw that I was giving it all I had that day and in turn gave me the thumbs up. I've seen you once about 20 years ago on TV but did not catch your name. Today this vid slid into my feed for no reason that I can think of. Thank you for your encouragement to never quit.
My brother you are a inspiration to all but especially to blacks. You break all stereotypes about us and you prove color is not a reason to doubt or judge a person. I've been listening to Jocko a lot and he was my favorite seal until I came across you. Keep up your good work and like the saying goes. The only easy day was yesterday. We need more like you stay blessed sir.
Ol Jake doesn’t like to talk about Goggins as he decimates his fantasy of being the most badass black seal. 10 Jake Zweigs wouldn’t make up ONE David Goggins.
Jake Zweig hey brother did I say you sucked or I was better than you? I don’t know you. I said the SEALs I know said you didn’t last long in the teams because of that charming personality of yours. How long did you last?
@@joeymcallister8033 you talk like you were there and he has an attitude about being a black seal....unless you were there, you might want to just say thank you for your service. Also, how long did you last?
What do you expect? It's not going to the candy store or training to be some donut eating cop. This is the very top of America's spear. The best of the best. The most elite. Tier One. The special operations they conduct are so fucking dangerous and high priority that the training HAS to be as close as possible to the real thing. These guys have millions of dollars worth of training and education invested in them by the government. They NEED to be ready for their operations. It's no joke.

It was teaching moment, said for a reason. by our elders, who may have had less education than we did, but understood the value of education and working hard, if not in fact harder, than our white counter parts. That is stated as a fact of life not a statement of victimhood. THIS is not a bad world we live in and there are a lot of us damn good people of all shapes, sizes, descriptions and colors in it. Be it in the military or in the world, It just that there are some knuckleheads who have a perspective on life that no legislation can change what is in their hearts and souls. Sometimes the best payback is not kicking someone else's ass, physically, but kicking their ass by being 400%[better] prepared and leaving them sitting in their quicksand of ignorance and being unprepared. Now I'm gonna retire my podium, lol. Thank you sir, and keep up the great work. E-7 USAR, Ret
SPIT THAT FIRE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET IT RIP AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
The way he says “Kayyy” is 😂 funny but adorable
I leave for prep in a few weeks, thanks for the talk!
How did you do
@@jakezweig Due to covid my ship date was moved from may to last September. I hurt my achilles in Great Lakes and rerated to MA. I analysed what my weaknesses were and now I'm back to training. Looking back, I probably should have waited until covid was fully over before shipping out. But I'll be back in the game once im finished at my current command
@@237wally TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN A LOT
Very inspirational story. As a african american male I wanted to do something insane like joining the special forces . I'm not physically fit. But I believe I am mentally. I dotn know what the future holds for me but I realized from you that I won't be controlled physically. The game is all in your head and you can achieve anything. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you feel free to share the video
What an inspiring story! Sorry for the loss of your classmate, and thank you for your service.
You are welcome
Man this was an absolute testimony, i think i really needed this. Everyday you have to earn your trident, every day you prepare as if tomorrow is the superbowl. everyday is tuesday, and youll get through anything in life.
ANYTHING
This should have a million views !
Share it
It was great chatting today on the phone Jake. Man hearing your stories man, really pumps me up to want to go after such a badass job. You’re a tough dude and I agree with these comments that say that racism and blatant torture like that should be investigated and they reprimanded.
I’m going to pursue that pilot slot though. Hope to keep in touch brother. Let’s get some minorities in those officer positions!
Absolutely man!!! LIGHT 🔥
"the cold fears zweig, tell us that a book will be forthcoming" -flexa-
BOOOM ON THE BIG BOOK
I’m going to try out for SEAL training after I graduate college in a year and a half, and I’ve been training for about a year already. I hope to get on your level one day haha
ok how are you training...call me next week 734 834 7944
Jake Zweig bro why tf would you put your number on here .....
Jake Zweig thank you man, I look forward to calling you
@@jakezweig you might wanna take your number off here just saying
gino tedeschi my man provides services
Mr Zweig i watched this video last night and today i broke my running time by 5 minutes y just want to thank you for your great words of encouragement
MY Pleasure enjoy and share the love
Great video! I was Goggins’ indoc roommate in 235. I listen to many of these stories but think it would be way more fun to tell them. I was not fully prepared and it upsets me at times. For anybody going to be BUD/S take advantage of this knowledge and prep in all areas physically. It is a life long purgatory if you cheat yourself on your dreams. I am still trying to prove myself to myself everyday. Great video! Great story!
Thank you man!!!!!!
HOOYAH 235
Thank so much for you service 🙏🏿 I'm praying your videos get me to being a navy seal
That guy chewing in the front row drove me crazy!
I know, how big of bites of whatever he is eating, that takes him 50 chews to finally swallow, not to mention opening his mouth like a pig.
Lmfao. Yo that’s all I can watch now 😂😂😂😂
So rude!
Oh no! I didnt even notice! Now I can't unsee it
Chiller spit that damn gum out elwood
Really good and entertaining video, full of wisdom. Shared it with my son who is going to Marine Corps OCS this summer. R/ New "Jake Zweig" fan.
SEND IT THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, I'm glad i got to hear this speech. Really puts life into perspective to understand no matter how hard someone tries to break you, you are the only one in control of your Destiny. Sleeping outside in your underwear for 5 fucking days? Mentally they went to the extreme to break you. I spent 2 years of literally every waking moment of my life trying to join the Army. 265 pounds, criminal record, traffic record, and at 29 years of age. I trained 7 days a week, went to MEPs more times than i can count, interview with a company commander and battalion commander, psychological evaluation, moral wavier, and starved myself and dehydrated myself for days and weeks at a time. Wavier went up to USAREC to a 1 star general in October 2016 and was disapproved. Than march 2017 i tried again with our new Commander and Chief. Enlisted as 11X 11X March 2017. Bitter sweet unfortunately I was medically Discharged and that followed up with kidney problems and ankle surgery. But, this moment right now I am Training to join by july. This speech allowed me to understand its not about the past or your failures, its about your preparation and your will to never quit on yourself.
thank Boooom
Remarkable story. You should be a speaker at all inner city high schools, in order to inspire our Black youth to change their lives and be the best that they can be. I know people like you, smart, gifted athletically, and tough mentally. I still can't believe that you "played" with the instructors minds. Wasn't the training hard enough? Thumbs up and new subscriber. And I do remember seeing Buddy Young at his brief time with the Colts in Memorial Stadium.
Set it up im in to talk to them all. LIFE IS short so I thought the instructors should pay
"YOU DIDNT GET COLD YOU GOT HOTTERRRR" man imma use that same phrase when im at buds lmfaooo
BOOOOOM
Jake, you are truly an inspiration!! It would be awesome, I think, if your story was told by you, on the big screen!! The gritty and all, your journey to excellence!!
thank were not there yet
I just want to say. Guys like you, David goggins and Jocko willink, have inspired to join the navy. At the moment I currently weigh 360 at 6” tall. I have a LONG way to go before I talk to a recruiter, but it’s something I want to pursue. I appreciate your words
whole 30 man
Sir. Much respect for your journey and success. I'm 45 and wished I had pursued a career as a SEAL. The information was never made available as I was growing up.
I'd give anything to spend a day with a SEAL for their knowledge and advice. Much Respect
Thank you !!! It was good
This experience is a Masterclass in the Practice of Stoicism
Fire 🔥 had to look that word up..im using that bad boy! thank you
@@jakezweig hahah cool!!! Go for it! The fact is that everyone practices stoicism, but not everyone practices it all the time. you sir seem to have done that for a very long time!!
I am thankful my son sent this to me. I have always felt that my son could have gone further N the marines he had so much potential to be his best. I am not saying this because I am his mom. I say this because of what I witness he had a curve in his spine he has proven to himself just how important his growth to himself as a man. People with titles in the jobs he worked and the military have looked at him because of his quirkiness he used to be a bookworm. He’s a wonderful writer, and he has a strong gutsy sense of life and people. N because of his communication skills some people have looked at him. It’s being arrogant when he’s not some people have been quick to pass judgment on him, and a lot of people have not been in his corner in a positive ways for him to be able to elevate up that ladder. Some of the people in the military will titles have put him in a position to train others into elevate them, but never heal. Can you imagine a disappointment as a parent when you know your child’s potential but he’s being used to elevate someone else, and the people who assigned the jobs to him, knew this And they fell short and a disappointment to our country for not utilizing all of the young man of color who is in the kitchen, cooking meals. And because of that, the Marines lost a lot of good men that they could have caught a strong niche within the black community of strong men serving in America, but I know people don’t wanna believe and understand that even Black people who have titles in above others they are the main ones who keep Men and women of color in a certain category S if only once you go up that category so watching this and looking at this young man I’m very proud of what he is saying, but I do know every military branch should have done better by the people who put their lives on the live to serve in America My son to me N others will always be A positive nature he is just a well-rounded individual who has had trials and mishaps but still he stands strong, and I have always felt that he has not gotten his do based on him being quiet and observant and a person of honor honest and humble and trustworthy as a young man of principle, and willing to talk up for people who voices are not hurt. Please don’t take the statement as if I’m putting my son on a pedestal. No he’s not on the pedestal. He had it since he made his mistakes but when I basically said that when you have a young man of color who joins the military? They are treated so poorly so mishandled when they come through the door with skills because of parents like me. You’re some of the toughest men on earth and willing to meet the challenge. My son is not called T.I.M.for nothing. He is incredible to me and his family and other. His sister called him TAZ.
Wonderful powerful comment sorry about your son!!! Hopefully he is killing it
Jake needs to get on Joe Rogan podcast!
Make it happen!!!!
Still waiting on this to happen
@@jakezweig Right there with ya man! Would be an awesome episode.

@@jakezweig I'm still calling
Thank you for your service.
BOOOOOM getting after it
Awesome presentation and articulated story, very inspiring.
THnak you
This is a remarkable and inspirational story of overcoming difficult odds and unjustified bias. Thank you for sharing. They could have killed you with all the hazing and animus but you were prepared to die and you endured the ordeal
It was not that bad, my dad made BUDS look like an easy day of chores
You sir are one bad ass SEAL
thank you
I played college football with Jake. As the scout team D we destroyed the starting offense every single day. He is a hard dude, woodpecker lips!
THATS MY MAN!!!!!!
We finally found the real life Mr.Mackey guys. Didn't expect him to be a SEAL, I'll be honest.
I enjoy your podcasts in general, but I was swiping past this episode because I just wasn’t overly interested in facing what you had to say about institutional racism in SOCOM, etc… I think I get it now. I was a non-swimmer before joining the USMC, so this hit home even though it was not level five training for me. This may be top ten episode for me now. Much respect. Thanks for sharing Jake.
BOOOOOOOOOM
Hey Jake. I really admire watching your videos, I like them. I just started watching your content. I’m currently training for SEALs. I’m 24 years old, just a basic average dude, nothing special, who really slacked a lot during high school, no college degree, just working full time doing front desk security. idk if it’s too late to train for NSW but it’s been a long life dream of mine to serve my country. I just took the initiative to take this path serious, started training this year, put in the hard work, reading a lot of books, basically doing everything that I should’ve done during my HS career. Is there a way I can get in contact with you and ask questions? Thanks Sir.
GET AFTER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@jakezweig hey bro, i know this sounds kind of dumb, but I've always looked up to you. I'm older now, but i always remembered you. Sometimes i get scared, but i push through life's obstacles. Thank you ...

Thanks for sharing Jake!
My pleasure
I know this was long agonfor you but thank you so much for your service and for the inspiration
Great insight. My son wants to be a Seal. Know there’s not many of our color that enter and pass. Hopefully with men like you that have blazed the way, things have gotten better culturally. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Look into David goggins, and Remi adaleke!
Victorio Guerra its still home field
What's it got to do with culture? Either you have the mindset or you don't. The physical training part is the easy part. The hard part is convincing yourself that all that hard training is worth what you want for yourself.
How old is he? email me jake.zweig@gmail.com
Jake Zweig hey Mr. Zweig i recently joined the Navy myself (ship for basic in 2 months) i joined so i can become a navy seal. My problem right now is keeping my training regimen disciplined and wanted to know if i can talk with you more on honing my training in through email or whatever sir.
Awesome stories man.... you refused to loose. Your mindset made you unstoppable. Thank you for your service.
Mypleasure man !!!!
Make sure you put the cover sheet on that TPS report mmm’kaayy. Great stories bro, I remember you from Top Shot. You were not playing their games lol!! Look forward to more videos!!
Thank you BOOOOOM FIRE
Where are all of the seals fans? Why does this not have more views. Strong work
Thank you!!!!
So I am 18 as of now but I'm planning on joining the navy In 4-6 years. I injured my back from wrestling and jiujitsu so I have to take a while to recover my injury and eventually get into better shape. I am just now again starting to train but lightly for the next six months or so. I am skinny (5'11" 152) because of the cutting I had to do for wrestling but I was wondering what it would take to get you as a mentor in a few years?
Are you going to college? Why wait? Jake.zweig@gmail.com
Thanks for sharing your story and thank you for your service!

Ever notice swim buddies are always the guy you fought with and now is your best friend. In bootcamp I got 300 8 counts with a puddle of sweat under me and marching party every night and were pissed i didn't sweat to stain my dungarees

Great stories, Jake. You keeping it real.
80's and 90's for me.
thank you
Great insight on the teams.
Thankyou
Don't try to get this guy cold cause you'll get every one else !
That’s one tough frogman.
Thank you
Jake Zweig, yeah, man. The squadron I was attached to flew a lot of the platoons around on training missions back in the early ‘90’s. Mostly it was guys from ST5. From up in Fallon, NV; down in Niland, CA; up in Montana (that was a good one. Discovery channel was filming echo platoon SEAL Team 5 guys); Cobra Gold 1993 in Thailand was good. SEALs marked their van saying they were Navy Band. Funny.
It’s my dream to be a SEAL it is a great inspiration for all you have done. Stay hard!
Thank you no CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great insight, Thank you for your service. If i was your friend your nickname would be "Mr. Mackey" mmkaaay
we had a mackey in our class
The De-Con story- was the best- I was crying! "You got hotter!" They might of check you and found out you were a mutant of some sort! And the Frog Hill story is #2~. Your stories are EPIC! Did that instructor that you mentioned, try to fight you close to the end of BUDs training? It sounded like the powers that be- didn't want you to complete BUDs. But the stories and your experience, that's for sharing! Can you speak on how many black officers are in the Seal community now? still under 20?
There has been 17 ever ... no he did not get froggie

Jake you may not remember me but can haven't forgotten you for the past 30 years. Back in 1992 you were at RTC Great Lakes and I was a 18 yo recruit. I, being a black inner city kid, could not swim and had a fear of water due to nearly drowning when I was very young. I took the swim test and failed probably four times before my encounter with you that day at the pool. I jumped in, tired as all hell, but you encouraged me and I kept going. I was barely able to meet the 3rd class swimmer requirements (literally the tip of my finger) and you had this look on your face like you were not very pleased and did not want to pass me. I hope you saw that I was giving it all I had that day and in turn gave me the thumbs up. I've seen you once about 20 years ago on TV but did not catch your name. Today this vid slid into my feed for no reason that I can think of. Thank you for your encouragement to never quit.
Man brother in 92 hummm not sure I was in Great lakes I was at the USNA getting killed ... but more power to you!
@@jakezweig My apologies. Would have bet my paycheck on it. You have a twin out there. Take care.

Jake Zweig I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. Semper Fi sir!
My brother you are a inspiration to all but especially to blacks. You break all stereotypes about us and you prove color is not a reason to doubt or judge a person. I've been listening to Jocko a lot and he was my favorite seal until I came across you. Keep up your good work and like the saying goes. The only easy day was yesterday. We need more like you stay blessed sir.
YES SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!
We’re you in the same timeframe as Goggins?
he was after me
Ol Jake doesn’t like to talk about Goggins as he decimates his fantasy of being the most badass black seal. 10 Jake Zweigs wouldn’t make up ONE David Goggins.
Joey do you know me? or David G...thanks for the support...Love superheros
Jake Zweig hey brother did I say you sucked or I was better than you? I don’t know you. I said the SEALs I know said you didn’t last long in the teams because of that charming personality of yours. How long did you last?
@@joeymcallister8033 you talk like you were there and he has an attitude about being a black seal....unless you were there, you might want to just say thank you for your service. Also, how long did you last?
amazing experience, thank you for sharing. keep up the good work.
Will do
It’s crazy how they’re getting people killed in the pool, killed, like wtf
it's not Sunday school it's SEAL training
What do you expect? It's not going to the candy store or training to be some donut eating cop.
This is the very top of America's spear. The best of the best. The most elite. Tier One. The special operations they conduct are so fucking dangerous and high priority that the training HAS to be as close as possible to the real thing. These guys have millions of dollars worth of training and education invested in them by the government. They NEED to be ready for their operations. It's no joke.
Comments are truth.... and this stuff is preschool
