My recruiter in 1978 asked me if I had ever smoked Marijuana and I said yes. He asked me the same question three more times before the light bulb went on and I answered no. That scenario was in the back of my mind my entire career, especially during security clearance interviews. I should've gotten a waiver.
Jason was spot on. Navy Boot Camp was easy. My HS football coach, an ex Marine drill instructor prepared us well. Beat the shit out of us during double-sessions. 6AM till 5PM of pure ass-whooping. 25 players quit the first week. As for BUDs? Yikes! Nope I'm was never made of that material. Not even close. I can't comprehend that level.
My highest regards and greatest respect to any man who makes it through the Buds process including the pool and demolition process your are legendary gentlemen 👏👏👏👏
In 2001 you got up a few hours early, and trained with the "dive motivators" in basic, a group of SEALs, and iirc an EOD guy. You had to pass the DPFT by your 3rd week of training, or lost your program. Then 'A' school, then for me dive school/Eglin, AFB (EOD). There were about 30 of us, and three passed the DPFT, and kept going to the dive motivators every morning until graduation.
I was in the Army and obviously never experienced Navy Seal training but in one way or another we were all challenged physically/mentally and what got me through was thinking in general there is a set ending date to this training which even in Basic training you would sing cadences saying 4 more weeks until we are through and so on. I always wondered how the Vietnam Pow's stayed motivated to live dealing with some form of torture on a daily case not knowing or seeing an end in sight.Bottom line knowing when there is an end date in sight helps you fight whatever comes your way
I was in the 7th light infantry division back in ‘82 and we went to Coronado for 3 weeks and trained with them. Bad asses but they didn’t have one guy that could beat me on the obstacle course
I'm calling BS on his training regimen...6 miles everyday at 8 minute miles if you are blessed with a good running gate is possibly sustainable but it takes a lot of work for a HS kid to get to that level who didn't run track or cross country, but no one is doing 400 pushups/400 dips/400 situps/and certainly not 400 dead hang pullups in the gym three times a week, and it is laughable to even suggest he did...makes me question everything else he says. I ran Cross country in H.S. and started at LCB on a very good varsity football team and was the 3rd fastest player on my team (4.5 40) and grew up on the salt water in Cocoa Beach, so i was a decent surfer and also swam like a fish. I made it to Recon in The Corps and was blowing away the max PFT scores with a max pullup count of 32 (20 being max score), 121 (100 being max score) sit-ups in under 2 minutes and a best 3 mile time of 15:21 (17:59 being max score). When I left The Corps I was a competitive Triathlete and made several podiums in Pepsi Sprint Triathlon series in the 80's. For me to do 400 correct pullups at my peak along with everything else he spews out would probably take me ten hours...he's completely full of shit!
I was thinking the same thing....the pullups thing has to be complete bullshit. That said, SEAL training is tough as hell so all respect to him for that. No reason to make things up on top of it.
@@Ryan-xq3kl Who knows, people lie about all kinds of shit all the time. Let’s keep in mind this is the same guy who thinks he can beat a professional MMA fighter in a street fight, which is absurd to even suggest.
As a Chaplain I always pray these boys can come home and lay down their swords and learn to live in a society where killing is not an option. God grant them the peace to live a life of loving and caring for others though I’m sure on mission it’s their brothers they’re fighting for.
Ran into the same situation with Marine recruiter with him saying the same thing about my ADHD medicine. He just ignored me after I submitted the paperwork.
Thats interesting, there's an aspect of that mentality that reminds me of addiction, I know that quiting recovery isn't an option, and if it was a choice I struggled with I would lose. When he said he played the tape forward on what quitting would look like he saw unmanageability, a choice that he knew he couldn't make.... and again if any doubt creeps in there it can threaten the entire psych. That binary choice to hang in there
Too funny. I was 125 pounds soaking wet in High School and was doing 23 pullups, 98 pushups, could max bench 295 could do 32-1 hand pushups. I also used to be on a swim team, ran all the time, 6 and 10 k runs with my dad. I chose Army out of High School, but his story is similar as we were both twigs when enlisting. Lol
He said Stickland lied and challenged him to show a screenshot of his message, which Strickland didn't do. After that he also gave him various means of contacting him to set-up a fight, which Strickland didn't do.
I been there a couple during hell week. Because we were doing winter training, in December. Our training for the marines was a bit tough. But for them it was hell, every once in a while you could hear the bell. That dream died. I'm not even sure how any special ops, are getting peeps nowadays with the crop of soft offended males we have. 😮
Also I think Jason Pike took selfies of himself, selfies of himself with his shirt off pass them around on the internet. Not sure. I'll have to recheck.
Ok first off 400 pull ups 🤨 second the proper answer i got from my recruiter was the answer to everything is no except do you have vision in both eyes. I literally answered no to have you ever had a cold, the flu, been hospitalized, broke a bone. Meanwhile i still had stitches in my stomach from an appendectomy when i arrived at boot camp
Is Jason Pike the self-proclaimed preacher who created a boy's camp, a camp for boys where all the boys lived and slept together in the same wooden barracks in the woods, and Jason Pike would walk around taking pictures supervising ? I think it was called manhood camp or something.

Exactly. I think I respect Delta team member more over the past decade or so because they aren't climbing over each other to come out with exercise equipment, tactical equipment, do interviews, etc etc. "Developed by a Navy Seal" has become so cliché these days for marketing.
That’s only minimal work for what navy seals do. Remember, seals don’t do these workouts to show off. They do these workouts to be combat fit in the environments they face outside of their home.
@@Tankolanko Any competant trainer would tell you that no world class athlete can do this even one day per week. That's like saying that to be a Navy seal you need to sprint 100 m in 5 seconds. I've trained with national level rowers in Canada and they would do 12 sets of back muscles twice a week and at the fitness test of the team the best guy was able to do 25 pull ups as his very max but nowhere near 20 sets of 20 reps.
@@comptegoogle511 navy seals need significant back muscle not only for carrying around 100 pounds of equipment while scaling the sides of ships, but also if one of the sailors has a combat injury and needs to be hauled over 5 miles of tough terrain. Don’t add doubt into this when you know they don’t go through training that’s similar to what the rest of your Canadian athletes go through.
Not that hard. After being in prison for a year I could do 35 straight. We would def do 400 in a day. 10 sets of 100 pushups. But that's nothing to do but body weight exercises, all day. Literally
Hmmm You just decided one day to be a SEAL. And, just like that you were waking up capable of running 6 miles and doing 400 push ups, pull ups and dips? Hmmm Sounds like a SEAL story to me.
