“SEAL” stands for sea, air and land. So we train for all of our ocean stuff which is diving with re-breathers, where there’s no bubbles. So being able to insert to either get somebody out or do reconnaissance that kind of thing. Or to disable a ship in a foreign port which we’re trying to keep from escaping to somewhere else. There’s the small inflatable boat stuff for inserting over the beach. And of course we have all our air ops, free-fall, parachuting into the ocean, getting into a boat and taking that to an objective. Getting hostages out of a situation or doing reconnaissance. Or for boarding ships and taking them over and turning them around if there’s an embargo or something like that. YOU TEACH SURVIVAL SKILLS, TOO? That’s something I did before I went into the military. I teach survival skills to the SEAL teams as a civilian and I did it when I was activated as a reservist. I taught them jungle survival down in South America Then of course we have our land training too which is all our marksmanship, patrolling and room clearing.- being able to take down a house safely and get hostages out or clearing it of bad guys or going in and capturing bad guys. That involves sniper work and communications, a lot of radio type stuff. It’s not always this way but the army generally has the highest ranking officers so they are in charge of SOCOM which is the joint operations between all the U.S. military. They’re basically the administrators. They say you guys can do this job; you guys can do that job. When we’re over in war areas, the Army’s in control, so it’s very important for us to be good at comms. Because they’ll use us for reconnaissance and stuff like that. They like to take the good jobs because they’re in control. They’ll give us everything they don’t want to do. We have to very good on the radios to let them know where we’re at, where the bad guys are at, and what’s going on.

Great story teller.......To bad 95% of it is fake

[@jeffreybrewster7434]

There is no such thing as a Reservist SO. The only case is if they are attending college. The other thing is a Team Guy will not talk about being in the Teams if he is actively enlisted on a contract this is stolen valor.

[@connoradkins4973]

Are you in no stfu and their are reserves for navy seals

[@connoradkins4973]

Jeffrey Brewster ever heard of seal team 17 has both active and reserve

[@zztopless]

Hate to break it to you, dude. I didn’t think there were reserve SO’s either.... but there are. Burnt a bridge with a recruiter over it actually. I’m a prior service marine, and I’ve always wanted to be a SEAL. I got One if the random calls you get from prior service recruiters but it was navy and not a marine recruiter, trying to get me to be an MA. I told him no but expressed my childhood dream of becoming and serving as a SEAL. He brought up SEAL team 17 and I didn’t believe him. So I called another local navy recruiter and told him about how I knew that the other guy was full of shit, and he told me he was speaking the truth. So, when I reached back out to the first guy, he never returned my call because the other recruiter had contacted him about me talking shit lol
