I'm not a SEAL. Retired USN. Spent my last 5 years at NAB Coronado. Walked by this course hundreds of times. My stomach got nervous just looking at it. And yeah, most of the poor bastards that did this were cold,, sleep-deprived, and sand-chafed. Godspeed to all of them.
I had the privilege of running the course in January of this year. Successfully managed all the obstacles but definitely found "the weaver" the most challenging. Doing this course on a weekly basis you can definitely master it and get better each time. Sand Runs must be killer I imagine. God bless all those that go to BUDs.
These obstacle set ups are always about 20 times more difficult than they look when you actually have to do it, and thats on a nice warm day when you’re fully prepped for it. Dont think I could have made the cut on this in all reality.
Now run it back when you’ve been sleep deprived for 24hrs, sandy-soaking wet, hungry af and have open blisters on your heels and hands. Oh, and it’s 30° colder. ✌🏽
@@03BangBang A lot of older Marines usually have those “I could’ve done it” stories lol. If they had tried out for Recon, they probably would’ve done it during BRC but I guess they didn’t, so here we are lol

I heard you have to do this course in 12 min or it’s a fail and you only get 3 attempts at school obstacle or it’s a fail . Most quickest time I saw some guy on RUclips do was 7 minutes and he did 20 pushups at the end when he was done 😅 . You have to be in some serious pain by the time your at the rope swing your awesome man 💪💯
What happened to the slide for life?? That was the hardest part of this course. Going up the different levels and then trying to slide down head first, scared the crap out of me every time. Marine Corps, 86- 98. Semper Fi

@@Buck112 ...the O course? From what I understand, they run through it multiple times a day at various stages of buds. I also remember someone saying they are timed and I think they start to get minimum times imposed on them as buds progresses.
I met Colt a few years ago in college. Homie has an insane work ethic and can make instruction/ coaching seem easy to understand. It's awesome seeing Colt being successful! Keep it up, man!
Just imagine - it's Wednesday at the break of dawn. You had the workout of your life on Tuesday and today will be no different. You got a few hours of sleep and it's about 40 something degrees outside. You're tired, sore, hungry and just finished a few miles on the beach with your classmates. Now you do this course before breakfast. Rinse and repeat for a few months where every day is harder than the last.
It's because the military sees them as expendable and loads them up with 80-100kg or more, then their knees invariably blow out and they're left on the scrapheap. The Afgan's called them "Camels" because they were nearly complete immobile with the weight.
That's ironic since you read any book regarding the early stages of the war namely Operation Anaconda, the Delta dudes would leave their Afghan "guides" in the dust because they couldn't handle the 20 mile climbs up those mountains in 6 feet of snow unlike the CAG operators.
Man ,this is so fun and energetic. Here in Italy i do it for fun and i pay for it meanwhile in USA, they pay you to do this activity. If i try for first time this course i will definitely do it in long 10 minutes time but I can definitely beat my time , reducing it at 8 minutes then to 6 minutes... Physically not ready yet to be the best navy seal but mentally, I'm already there, at the 'Mission achieved' in quick time. The mission become more easy when you have not only a team but brothers around you.
@@FJ24. you don't have to build mental strength. You do what you enjoy,what give you excitement, what you love, your passion , whatever you called it.

@@eridondemaj9012 I disagree i believe that mental strength is built through doing consistent hard things over a long period of time like working a construction job or training wrestling, there is a reason why people with certain backgrounds get through BUDs at a higher rate than others fx wrestlers have a very high success rate at BUDs while basketball players have a very low success rate
No buddy was right. If you want something you will move heaven and earth to seize it. Don’t get too hung up on who does what before they ship. Yes, certain activities lend to a more diverse set of physical abilities and some will apply to BUD/s more than others but the fire in your gut trumps all of that.
Some of it looks rather difficult, but I think I could handle this. HOWEVER, they have probably been working out all day already, are freezing, wet and sandy, sleep deprived, etc. I could NOT do it under their conditions. Having written this then read the comments, it seems most people have similar thinking. Also, some of them, I would probably fail like jumping, grabbing and hanging, I am a bit scared. I can shoot up ropes, and hang, and wriggle like a mother, though,
Isn't the crucible sleep-deprived as well? I'm a retired USN navy bean, but I operated with lots of Marines, including in SERE. Great bunch of gung ho guys.
it's not even comparable. These guys have been up since 4 am and have been getting smoked for 4 hours then have to do this, usually soaked to the bone. Most Marines wouldn't make it halfway through this
when theres no instructor and support staff they only let you run the lower part. It is still 3 stories. Same goes for cargo net. You climb up one side to a mark. Climb down and go around and climb up to mark on the other side.
I've seen it. Damn hard to describe. Harder to watch. Sometimes my wife would drop me off at work at NAB Coronado. We'd see the guys running across the Strand, yelling, early in the morning, carrying the boat. You could see the class number on their helmets. She'd usually cry.
@@TheBatugan77 That's awesome! Yeah, you got to see all the crazy from NAB. Breakout or hell week it's a good show for anyone from the outside. We would run (AKA BUD's shuffle) to the galley at NAB and back three times a day, adding up to many extra miles each day. Even in Indoc, a lot of my buddies got stress fractures from all the pounding on the pavement. We also spent a lot of time in the combat simmer tank on the amphibia side or finding good places to hide from the instructors to get a few minute's sleep. It's been 20 years since I was there, but from the look of this video, the O-course has not changed too much besides the fence. Prior to 9/11 you could just walk into almost any part of NSW side. 9/11 changed everything though. What years were you there?
They seem to show it from 1:29-1:34 but the guy does it from the first level instead of from the top level. If you look on RUclips for the video (also from this channel) of the guy going through the whole course, you can see there seems to be a second set of ropes from the first level of the tower. This guy looks way heavier than BUDS candidates so I'm guessing it may have been a safety thing. I'm honestly a little surprised he was able to get through the rest of the course.
@@nathanwailes Its strength : weight ratio. That size more than likely would have came after BUD/S. if you can already perform, adding mass wont slow you down.
@@Joe-kw4se how? I talked to a recruiter a couple weeks ago and said you had to be no older than 28 with the exception for prior enlisted who could claim an age waiver.
You used to but since everybody and their dog wants to go NSW now you can't. But you can go SF no problem over 30. It's up to you if you want to cry about not getting seal or just go SF.

You're always exhausted and sore, that being said some guys still struggle just from the mental aspect of the heights.

Always suprised at the amount of body weight many SEALS carry.
Big engine to fuel and even bigger to lug around the battlefield.
