"Former Top Navy Seal" Still seems to be an understatement for McRaven
He held the title "Bull Frog"
And where is his C O now?
Sitting back watching this and his motivational speech.
Whenever I am feeling ‘down’, or facing a challenge I believe I may struggle with; I listen to the incredible, inspiring Bill McRaven, humility and leadership in equal measure. The world then seems a little easier.
Thank you for you're service, Seem like a real stand up guy.
"You're service", hmm.... Seems is one thing, is another.
This is a great message for someone who has been through a failure. Not everyone fails, but often times their leadership fails and they become the victim of that failure. I have seen people fail a safeway and were terminated, only to see them go onto becoming a police officer, firefighter or nurse, etct. Bottom life, is you are not always defined by the job you lost but what you do after that. Sitting and blaming a poor manager or company doesn't move you forward. Be who you want to be!
Proud to have worked for and with (then) Capt. McRaven at the turn of the millennium.
If he ever gets fired from his current job hes got a great opportunity as an evening news anchor.
And the voice.
He was diagnosed with cancer.
Anderson cooper #2
Alex Cacares Perhaps he’s a sexual harasser as well?
@Rollo Larson that's a very silly thing to say.
37 years! Damn, that's impressive!
Admiral McRaven needs to run for President.
Thank you for all that you have done, sir.
thanks for posting a message I needed to hear ....
I really think many successful men in this world always have a good woman behind them
Immediately like this guy
He is a great speaker.
This video was really reassuring.
I love the inspiration. Thank you.
You can fire me. But you can't make me quit!
Excellent quote.
Perfect. Thank you
In case people were wondering the job he was fired from was being Team Lead of Seal Team 6 Gold Squadron. Him and the founder/Commander of Team 6 Richard Marcinko did not see eye to eye on how the Team should be conducting themselves.
I knew i had heard something like this before. Ironic he became an Admiral when Marcinko ended up getting sacked...
To be fair, McRaven arguably had a more profound impact on the Special Operations community than Marcinko. Anyways, Marcinko was a bit of a dirtbag who ended up defrauding the government.
The lack of discipline, arrogance, and "we are perfection" attitude that ST6 had in 1983 when all of this went down (That McRaven objected to) culminated at Granada in 4 of their best drowning (and never being recovered) and two recon teams failing their missions miserably because they forgot to pack vital equipment. One of the teams had to fight for their lives through the night until the Marines rescued them in the morning. The other had to retreat under fire and swim out to sea where they were fortunate enough to be rescued. That's the culture that Marcinko wanted and he paid for it. McRaven was fired the same year, shortly before these events. He has, in every place I've seen him talk about those events, still considered it his fault that he was fired. Not once have I found anything remotely close to a "I told them so" about the events. I don't consider it arrogance at all. I would say he did his job as a junior officer. His CO decided he wasn't the right fit for the team and removed him. He accepted it and moved on and attributed it to his own shortcomings which he worked to overcome.
And the families of these fine men who were murdered aboard EXT 17 deserve some TRUTH instead of cover-up and LIES, and the fine honorable men deserve justice. As does Pat Tillman.

@@xLisranda four years after you make this comment you have sent this went down a rabbit hole... I've got to know more... Off I go to research.....
This guy is a good Choice for President!!!! #unity2020
People mess up make mistakes sometimes and nobody is perfect but you can try to be the best you can be!!
Good man....straight talk ....thx
He is my favorite Admiral
I would like to see rest of this interview. I've read his book and it's a very well written.
You fire back.
Tommy
What an awesome comment
The stupid is strong in you, Tommy boy.
These are the kind of people we need to run for president.
Great people like this are to honest, honorable and intelligent for politics
Yes, Sir
The number 1 reason why people lose their jobs: Someone doesn't like you.
Don't I know it.
And of course in good fashion he was fired by the architect of seal team six, demo dick Marcinko for not agreeing with dicks “unconventional tactics and methods”. Mc raven was in ST6 at the time
Overcome
I would hope so. If know one likes you or if your leader doesn’t like you there’s likely a good reason or selfish jealousy!
best admiral i have ever met in my life.
Go Navy!
That guy was Richard Marcinko
There is the difference between the self reliant and the dependent. The self reliant know that at times they are going to fail, but that it doesn't signify the end. They learn from their loss and push on. The dependent never learn this, being defeated at their first taste of loss or living in fear of same.
He is still a tough battle hardened SEAL!!
This man should run in 2020
Making mistakes is how you learn to do better.
Still a top seal. Redemption comes in time in earnestness..
The fuckin man right there
Everyone falls it's how you conduct yourself after the fall that defines you
Hi Admiral William McRAven
We need you become president of USA you are a great man
Agreed! People like Admiral McRaven should run this country
Make your bed
@Tony SHIT in your bed
He was not fired. He stayed in the Navy.
The one general i like to meet with
Maybe I missed it. What exactly did he learn?
He should announce baseball games.
NO, you are a true american hero.
en qué parte del universo vive
Forget that he was a SEAL, that is irrelevant.. This guy would've been the best burger flipper ever if it decided to. Feels great to have talented Americans.
Richard Marcinko fired him from the best seal team 6.
Was he folding his arms underwater ?
0:30
Lmao
Inspiring.
🕊
floating there in the cold or warm who knows but if it's COLD!!!! water to take a picture Gezzzzzzzzz what happen to the C.O. that fired him? so he did something else and got back
Overcome

Mi nombre no es Andrés Martínez My name is not Andrés Martínez, it is Aleida Ochoa Gracia
I am a highly successful officer and Navy Seal who at one point in his overly stellar career got removed from a leadership position one time. See. I can totally relate to the everyday man.
He's an accomplished person no doubt. His eyes look as if he's slightly possessed with a sort of administrative idiological possession. He's Basically a manager, a leader to manager types. His type of personality, view following rules of organisations as the measure of one's character. He speaks of making one's bed as if it's of supreme importance. Maybe it is?? How one can further his own career is Always part of the equation in this personality type. Other interesting notes ; His degree is in "journalism". How many infantry legends were wannabe journalists? He was on the ground in the slowest time for seals after Vietnam. Which war was lost by journalists at the very time Mcraven wanted to be one. Those who kicked him out of his seal team leadership position had seen a shit load of combat in Vietnam. Whatever His fighting prowess his time on the ground in combat is minimal. Later in the Obama administration He let himself be promoted right after exhortation 17 debacle. This was an obvious strategy by Obama, to appease the seal community after that tragedy. Mcraven was all to happy to oblige. He's had a major impact on the teams. Many would argue for the worse. Look at team's reputation today because of the actions of individuals under his "leadership". Under Obama's hear no Evil see no Evil approach, he, Brennan, Clinton and the like, ran the seals "especially team 6" ragged. Often 4 missions a week. More than a few broke down. Many more were killed on questionable missions. The attitude was Better them and drones than send in Marines and face the political Consiquenses Of "deployed troops". Under his management, jsoc revealed many secrets. Some might argue this was benificial to their (Obama, Brennan, mcraven's etc) political careers . Juxtapose his personality to that of Chris Kyle. Who's room on his last deployment was dirty having an inch of sunflower seeds on the floor. Obviously he was busy cleaning his weapon. You can only think about one thing at a time and Chris was using his brain power to actually kill the enemy. Not "make his bed". Chris saw more first hand combat in a month than Mcraven has seen in his career. I think both these types of personalities are needed. But the politically correct, career minded type officer is repugnant to grunts. If I were in battle I'd definitely prefer the Kyle type and put up with the seeds.
Agree. I'd rather be Chris Kyle
remember to make your bed
That’s not getting fired. That’s a promotion
Does one know if he ever led men into combat?
onevoicebecametwo.life was inspired by those who read "I Don't Do Slogans" and shared kind words of encouragement. Forgive my impersonal note, but if you go to "You Got Gold" under "My Back Pages," you'll find my appreciation of the spirit you provided. I gotta give a shout-out to the pooh-poohers of possibility too. Forever on the front lines of lowering the bar while I’m trying to raise it - you've been a constant companion almost all my life. Where would I be without you?
Speaking of pooh-poohers, I recently got fired for dropping the hammer on my manager. After almost 2 years of dealing with his turbocharged hypersensitivity, hermetically sealed mind, piss-poor leadership, sloppy work, off-the-rails ego, and utterly blameless attitude - he crossed the line one too many times.
You're gonna enjoy this - as a symbol for every jackass on the job that companies coddle and force you to put up with.
And if you don’t play along . . .

Of course he has a book, he is a navy seal, is the norm now lol.
So were you actually wrong or was it just a pissing contest with you being on the receiving end?
Hoehner Tim It was probably a pissing contest.
I'm sorry man that sucks
one of the biggest set that used to fuck with me wwas joining the military, Only wanted to go in Navy or Air Force, could never get a medical waiver and i felt bullshitted, got a lot of respect for the military, but this country really makes a man feel less than if they for whatever reason are unable to join... its bullshit
As far as I can tell McRaven has no combat experience ?
Yeah he moves away and back hands the President if he was still active duty he’d be prosecuted for violating the military code of justice
yep the military does not train you to be a good worker in civilian employment.
The military is extremely good at training you to be a good worker in the military.
In both realms - getting up after being knocked down is essential for success.
David Boson pity nobody can retrain you to be a civilian lol
It was more complex. He was relieved of command because the entire team he was commanding had loss confidence in him and his commanding officer stepped in and relieved him. Most seals are very gung ho and he was more of pencil pusher posing as gung ho. Theres a reason why he spent most of his career in Washington and not in the field.
Not a fan of this guy but he is right. Work through your failure. Ignoring the elephant in the room is not a solution.
You can move on to another organization or line of work but you need to face yourself and either say I did everything I can or I could have done better. Don't be wishy washy.
Why cant billionaires bank roll people like him for President instead of self serving
I'm not sure he should be so understanding, given what his employer wanted him to do was probably illegal, if not very illegal. Marcinko had gone 'Rogue' and probably had control of the world's most dangerous, heavily armed biker gang ever - SEAL team 6. OTOH, SEALs were meant to be dangerous - thats why the saying was you kept them in a cage until needed ;)
Illegal? Says who? The United Nations? lol😂
And all it took was Adrenochrome.
Strange think. The soldiers face by you in the beginning looks exactly like my husband’s (Japanese)! Except he is not, nor ever was a soldier! I then I am pressing charges for being mentally tortured by all of you, kept locked as professionally qualified white woman for your military game from all the employment opportunities and mainly for killing absolutely every of my pregnancies!
A sixty-year-old seal? Really?
@Curtis Rodrick didn´t he break his legs in a parachute accident in his mid forties. Bur he wasn´t kicking in doors what´s for sure.
The ahead shrine disturbingly deceive because band splenomegaly mess up failing a eager ashtray. wiggly, fantastic kevin
Your support of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama tells us all we need to know.

When you get fired by Trump
