No disrespect to the guys that didn't make it through either. Some aren't cut out for it. Better they're cut to do other things than cost team members their lives because they weren't up to standards. Huge respect to the guys that push through to become the pointy end of the US Navy or Marines.
@@dougcronkhite2113 yeah, by no means are these guys to be considered "losers", the vast majority of us, the vast majority of people on this planet could not complete something like "hell week" or most of the other training that deals go through. Respect to those who tried, UTMOST RESPECT and admiration for those who complete it
Massive amount of respect to the men who made it through these courses to become literally the most feared warriors on the planet. . You are a rare breed 🇺🇸
I remember when I went to Buds in California. But not the training, I’m talking about the dispensary. There was no chaffing but there was a lot of burning 😂
When it comes hard training like this, I remember the worst part for me while I was going through MCRD Paris Island was seeing civilian contractors on base. They would have their phone, a cup of coffee, dry clean clothes, cigarettes, showered, a beard. Seeing people like that always made me homesick and desire going back to a free civilian life. But I'm proud to say I made it thru.
Went to MCRD San Diego. The worst for us was watching civilians fly in and out of the San Diego Airport going on vacation. Not that there is any comparison between buds and boot camp. Two different worlds.
@@evilchaperone I remember laying in my bunk at night watching planes take off. All those houses up there on the hill. Just watching people live their life in comfort 😂
@@kylebeachem4549 Yup. I remember that well. Me and another devil dog vet was just down there. We ran the MCAS 5k run yesterday, then went slumming it over to MCRD main side for lunch. Frikn time warp.
One of the guys I worked with decades ago had went through Parris Island in the mid-60s. He said, 2 weeks out there and I was ready to go to Vietnam just to get away from Parris Island LOL
This guy’s talking about dudes making it through BUD/S, and I’m over here getting startled just by the damn outro noise of this video. Thanks for the great content as always!
Man I honestly forgot this was #002. Great episode! Just like all of them! Hope you and the family are having a great Friday🙏🏼 Can you still do the Murphy challenge?🇺🇸 Or have you done it before? Just wondering🤙
I had a calling to the fire service and answered it for 9 years. Now Im feeling a calling to do this. I just don’t think I’d be a good gunfighter. I’m used to being hypothermic and embrace the cold but tactically I’m a complete moron. You guys have some serious balls. Thank you for answering the call.
I forget his name, but there was a SEAL who when enlisted into the Navy and he had never even held a gun in his life. They will train you on everything you need to know.
Hypothermia / frost bit fingers / pushed for eight days without sleep (flashes of light you'll see after day-3; slurred speech after day-4; every waking second is an eternity) / shaving and bathing in ice water -- not BUD/S hell week; but, I get it: USRAEUR, 3d MP Co, Heavy PLT, 3d Infantry Division, West Germany. So happy to be sitting in my toasty office writing this post. :-)
Makes sense. That way you get to weed out those that are there for the wrong reasons and without proper motivation. No point in wasting a lot of training time and resources on someone that isn't motivated.
Of course have weed out dead weight. If America actually knew how much money money it cost to train a soldier like when I went away to boot camp for 3 Mos between food vacancy training etc was like almost 100k per soldier. Could only imagine what this must cost because its not just a 3 MO boot camp there's many phases all around country u go thru
The worst aspect of training for me(British army) were the constant blisters which would become infected and would nip a bit! when applying surgical spirit,however,on the plus side it really toughened the feet up.The chafing from coarse sand must be exponentially worse!.
The constant cold water is a no go for me and I have a great deal of respect to those who can make it through that hell. It takes incredible mental toughness and a unstoppable drive to want to make it through that kind of hell. I wish I could get the training and knowledge that is acquired in the special forces as a civilian. We have become a lazy and dependent on this fragile societal system in America. If the past several years have not awakened you to how fragile our system of having everything at our fingertips is then you are in trouble. I have changed how I live and have started prepping for the worst as I think it’s coming in the near future. I wish I had the knowledge and training of the SF of our military because it teaches you how to live in the worst of conditions and survive in a world where nothing is given.
What was the point of your "Stolen Valor" comment, to my comment? You think I fabricated my experience? I went through two Hell weeks dude. Class 116, failed pool comp phase 2. Went through again, class 125 and graduated. I NEVER saw anyone who made it though Hell Week and then quit. Who was your class OIC?
@@rhdecker Your story doesn't add up. For both classes (116 and 125) Second Phase was Land Warfare and pool comp is not done in Land Warfare. Pool comp wasn't swapped to Second Phase until much later (years) after the classes you claim to have attended and ultimately graduated from. If you did graduate you'll easily know the acronym for the training you went to after you went to Jump School. What is it?
@@rhdecker your post piqued my interest so I did some more investigating of your claim and you're full of shit. I STRONGLY suggest you stop making the claim that you graduated from BUD/S. Also, you're completely wrong that people don't quit post-Hell Week. I'm positive you never saw it because I know you were never in BUD/S. That said, DORs after Hell Week are not common, but it does happen. I'm sure you're going to come back and challenge my attack of your claim, but are you really sure you want to do that? I DID go to BUD/S and I can ask you questions that ONLY someone who has REALLY been there can answer. Do you want to get embarrassed like that? In my other post, I tossed you what seems like a softball question, but I know you're going to get it wrong because you weren't there and it's not information you can learn by watching RUclips videos from guys who have really been there.
Ive thought about this exact thing often and its the first time Ive heard it mentioned, and it sounds as bad as Ive ever imagined. I grew up trapping rats and mink in cold water streams and creeks and I hate the feeling of being wet and having to continue to work so its probly a good thing I was never brave enough to try out for these extremely difficult classifications.
My son went through Hell Week a couple yrs ago and was chafed pretty bad. He said one of the tough things was urinating with the urine going down his legs and pants and just burning all the way down.
Posted this right before the news dropped on that candidate dying after BUD’s, RIP to him and my prayers go out to his family. I think Travis misunderstood a couple questions on this interview though. The first question Shawn asked does it look worse as an instructor or student and Travis thought he meant is it worse being an instructor but Shawn just meant from an Instructor’s eyes, does it seemed harder or worse than it was when you were actually there. The other one was when he asked if they purposely make them get in the water or dry off because they know their body is doing the opposite to make things worse and Travis thought he asked if they purposely go lighter on them because they know they are chaffing and whatever else but anyways, another great podcast from a while back with two American Heroes.
The worst times in the Marines for me was being cold just sitting there freezing. That’s one reason I could never do buds. Just crying laying in the surf lol
Damn.....50s.....i remember swimming in the pool after they filled it and it was 65 in August and that was horrible...... couldn't imagine 40s and 50s!
I was stationed at NAB Coronado for 4 years, saw SO many classes and students! I love the pre breakout mental game you mentioned, that’s awesome! I did the same to my kids when I got a bad call from a teacher, “when we get home, you’re getting spanked”, then I’d turn to 2 mile drive into a solid 20 minutes. I told them after they graduated high school and both were “ That was on purpose? WE HATED THAT,”! I smiled and said, “and your asses learned something!”
Yeah, I was stationed on NAB Coronado for 3.5 yrs. Used to see them running up and down Silver Strand. Did you ever see them cross the street? The ambulance has to stop traffic on both sides, then the instructors run then the class and the back instructors. Man, they take safety precautions on that s***
Having seen videos of hell week I think I'd probably get through it fairly easy or maybe slightly difficulty. I've been doing CrossFit for 5 years now and I did swim a lot growing up. So I think the sleep deprivation would be the only thing to cause me and problems possibly.
the irony is, as mentally tough as these men are - and they become even more so with additional training - once out, after years in their units, back on civvy street, many fail to adapt and display what many would regard as mental WEAKNESS: hitting the bottle, beating wives, doing drugs, breaking down entirely...
Damn that talk about the chafing in the groin and him saying if you can’t handle this then get out of here that’s just some real shit like seriously if you can’t handle your body getting sore and bloody from physical training then you probably don’t have the mental fortitude to be on top of your game and be on a seal team that’s crazy shit honestly
Just listening to his previous guests who were SEALs, these guys get shot in combat, have their faces blown off, limbs blown off, and if they're still conscious they keep fighting. Puts the chafing in perspective.
Omg i rang the bell,it was so hard to do but i quit. The instructor told me to go get sugar cookied but i just had a bad moment of time..took years to get over quitting. 3 day broke me..think it was class 144 ish. Not sure late 80s.
What was it the cold , the constant exercise, the constant run , the non stop getting wet and sandy , sleep deprivation. Being wet and feeling the cold wind
Does anyone know is there is a color vision waiver for seals or an option to take an alternate color test to qualify? I’ve researched a lot but all the info seems unclear
Idk about navy but being color deficient for the army i was dropped from Ranger school and kicked out of the infantry and had to go be a truck driver. It sucked
Only a small percentage get to Hell Week, after Hell Week that group is smaller. You don't get your Trident until later in the training and by the time you do get the Trident that group is even smaller. I would hazard a guess that returning as a Instructor is even way smaller. There is a saying hat goes "The Rich are different than you and me" I think that SEALS are way more different than than you and me! Hell, I've been shot (by an empty gun) and stabbed (by accident!) as a civilian. I sure as hell don't want it to be done professionally "Fair winds and following Seas Navy SEAL's. My book you are the Best of the Best,
Love the show, I have wondered if anyone has been in any shark attack during seal training, especially being in the water for long periods of times and at night....thanks and keep the videos coming to us
Good vid. Every time I take a shower, and the water is cool as it comes out, I think of Hell week. Cold like I never want to feel again. The Steel pier was the worst for me. In and out of Coronado bay, onto the very cold metal piers. Brutal. One of the instructors, this is in early 83, had one of those laugh track recorders. He held it to a megaphone. This guy was a Nam vet and a true Sadist. He love to torture us.
I didn't have to do BUDs, they heard how I peeled potatoes on the Space Shuttle and Brockbrader himself 'drafted' me. My records were burned in the big records fire and then what was left burned in my sisters garage fire. My special power is Time-Travel Psychic Warfare. I'm not in Don Shipley's database because I'm from the future. I learned Spanish while a POW in Macho Grande. I fired the Dregger too.
That was actually pretty lame considering there were only a thousand others to write something similar to it on every comment section related to Navy SEAL team training. *#Boring*
@JET MECH obviously you can read the same joke over and over and still enjoy it. Maybe you're a lucky person for it. I like comment threads to a certain extent, but that ongoing theme attempt at humor is lame and I don't care what anyone thinks of my opinion.
I'm not that mentally strong. fuck him talking about people with hypothermia, literally telling them to get back to training after their body has literally begun shitting down. thats wild stuff. mad respect to anyone that even attempts to be a seal
Crazy as it maybe ....when i was 18 i didn't know about Navy seals Regardless ....Semper Fi we all had each others back ! Even if your technically Navy .
Chaffing is a motherfucker, it’s the thing that everyone always forgets about too. Everyone has probably experienced chaffing at least once in their lives but rarely do people experience it to the point of your skin ripping off and bleeding. Then to make it worse hop in salt water… fuck dude it’s bringing back bad memories.
@@TnerB91 yea man I’ve been an athlete my entire life but genetically I have thick muscular thighs with no thigh gap so i know a thing or two about chaffing lol .. but no where close this level especially combined with salt water.
Nothing in life is tough it’s all easy just one day at a time. Givin strength through OUR Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gives us the strength to do anything. I could be a seals 🦭 nightmare. Chafing no shame to the game you scratch that shit off no matter what body part. Those who learn are True Spartan warriors
hell week is always the 3rd week of phase 1...they call it "2 weeks & a long day"...its begun early so the instructors know who wants to be here & who doesnt!
I would wager that there has never been one valid, objective study (double blind, 7-step method, yadda) on whether any of this stuff ("hell week," etc) makes any difference whatsoever on what makes a good soldier. Not one...single...study. It's just mythology and unquestioned traditions.
This instructor looks like he's 18 years old but I know he's lethal as a cobra. My upmost respect to all Navy Seals
looks like he can turn 0-100 on a dime. look at that eye contact
@@sirus312so true! I have learned to not judge so quickly. That’s the classic bar fight scenario against a ufc fighter

Kudos to those who even ring out on the first day of Hell Week. Takes a lot of guts to even try to make it through.

I'm not in Don Shipley's database because I'm from the future. I learned Spanish while a POW in Macho Grande. I fired the Dregger too.
WTH
And now your looking for your DD12 so you can get a great rate on your cell phone bill i bet.
That was actually pretty lame considering there were only a thousand others to write something similar to it on every comment section related to Navy SEAL team training.
*#Boring*
@@fz1000red Send me a link to one comment with claims of Time Traveling Psychic Warfare commanded by Bill Brockbrader from the 9's?
@JET MECH obviously you can read the same joke over and over and still enjoy it. Maybe you're a lucky person for it. I like comment threads to a certain extent, but that ongoing theme attempt at humor is lame and I don't care what anyone thinks of my opinion.
I dont even ride my moto below 60 degrees in colorado
Seems like it's all mental to me, but i wouldn't know from my lambo...
Would be awesome to get a marine recon or marsoc acessement and selection Instructor
Camp Surf....my kids went there....just south down the beach is the YMCA Camp Surf in IB!! I don't think you fellas were the counselors though.
He was an instructor of class 238?
Bravo 👏
My respects because I don’t want to be in freezing water and sand no thanks
One of my favorite episodes.
I'm not that mentally strong. fuck him talking about people with hypothermia, literally telling them to get back to training after their body has literally begun shitting down. thats wild stuff.
mad respect to anyone that even attempts to be a seal
Crazy as it maybe ....when i was 18 i didn't know about Navy seals Regardless ....Semper Fi we all had each others back !
Even if your technically Navy .
⚓🌠👍 Hooyah Navy brothers!!!
That vivid description about chaffing made me squeamishly grab my junk.
Chaffing is a motherfucker, it’s the thing that everyone always forgets about too. Everyone has probably experienced chaffing at least once in their lives but rarely do people experience it to the point of your skin ripping off and bleeding. Then to make it worse hop in salt water… fuck dude it’s bringing back bad memories.
@@TnerB91 yea man I’ve been an athlete my entire life but genetically I have thick muscular thighs with no thigh gap so i know a thing or two about chaffing lol .. but no where close this level especially combined with salt water.
Brave men …….heroes
Haven't seen any new vids in a month ! What's up ?
Nothing in life is tough it’s all easy just one day at a time. Givin strength through OUR Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gives us the strength to do anything. I could be a seals 🦭 nightmare. Chafing no shame to the game you scratch that shit off no matter what body part. Those who learn are True Spartan warriors
Does "Hell Week" involve committing war crimes, smelling cocaine and thinking.
Hey wrong channel guy
Every week is hell week, I just a hell week and no crying like the overrated Navy Seals. It is the Navy- give us a break- the Navy!
Ou the chafing on your thighs and balls on a march after a week in the forest :D Carrying a 40kg plus kit
I'm in need of help
Awesome
Why is hell week so early week 5 ? Seems like it would be towards the end
hell week is always the 3rd week of phase 1...they call it "2 weeks & a long day"...its begun early so the instructors know who wants to be here & who doesnt!
@@tat2steven810 Not always. It was the 5th week of my class. But that was almost 30 yrs ago.
Weres the new one u talked about with another team guy. Wtf
HEY BUD TALK ABOUT THE LAWS OF WAR . Do you even Know them ?
I’d like to see Instructor Patstone interviewed.
Dick couch, The Finishing School.... Awesome book
I'm probably wrong, but his eyes look empty
Jesus. This guy looks like one of those guys that passed buds during the early years of gwot, just because they needed to fill that 2-3k quota.
I would wager that there has never been one valid, objective study (double blind, 7-step method, yadda) on whether any of this stuff ("hell week," etc) makes any difference whatsoever on what makes a good soldier. Not one...single...study. It's just mythology and unquestioned traditions.
