I was army infantry 101st airborne two combat tours Iraq and Afghanistan, I have so much respect for seals and what they endure before they even become a seal. These men are tough warriors just like special forces, delta, marine recon etc they are living proof that even in hell you can find a little paradise if you just endure it. That's what a warrior is, ready to go in hell so you don't have to
I was a peacetime mech grunt 81-85, and I’m like you. Got a ton of respect for the whole special operations community, including their families. Thanks for your service too.
I was friends with this man's son. I lived in their neighborhood years ago when I was like 11 or 12. He was a nice guy, he took us bowling a few times and we talked about music like Iron Maiden and Metallica. I personally remember accidentally wrecking his bike by running into it and being too scared to tell him. He gave me a stern life lesson but he still forgave me and as always, nice. He even gave me some advice on how to lose weight when I was a little over. I'm so shocked to see this video of him which I just randomly ran into here on RU-vid. Only once did he ever mention he was a SEAL. It was usually his son or his wife that mentioned he was a SEAL.
I had the privilege of going through a training program with Ray as an instructor, (MDK Project). He is an animal. So much respect for him and what he did within his career.
i admire anyone that has this drive..I was in the navy and I would have never made it..I do however try and use techniques from seals to motivate me..go usn!
Much respect to all of our servicemen and women in all branches of our military. I've watched numerous BUD/S training videos, and I take my hat off to those individuals. I myself, can admit that I probably wouldn't be able to get through one day of that type of strenuous training. With that being said , the people in our military of truly special and are true heroes. Much deference to all our soldiers.
The cold would've done me in, no doubt. Being a Florida boy born and raised, I could barely tolerate a 4 hour quarterdeck watch in winter and that was in full uniform with a coat, thermal skivvies, the whole nine yards. Rolling around in the cold surf all day and night? Forget it. These guys are some tough hombres.
+Dakine US Well he's not small at all stature wise, but when you're carrying logs or rafts it only makes sense to group you by height. This guy could be 5'5" for all we know.
Him talking about the cold reminds me of when i used to play football in my country Iceland in the winter and it took me 5 mins to tie my shoes because of the cold but that was normal
The Smurf crew was this guy's boat crews name!! Nicknamed the little guys!! It reminds me of a video I was watching of Navy SEAL Admiral Mcraven back in his day of SEAL training! From what he said he was in one of the boat crews with the tall guys but the best boat crew they had was made up of little guys, the munchkin boat crew where nobody was over 5'5
I know a lot of former service members will give me grief because I was in the Air Force, but when we had our obstacle course day it was about 45 degrees with a moderate rain(I actually this on video).We were out there for just over five hours with just our BDU’s ,getting rain, sand into every hidden part of my body it was so freaking cold. That day was the coldest day of my life I persevered through that miserable day and when we changed into a new set of BDU’s my hands were frozen and I could not unbuckle my belt for what seemed an eternity. Then we had to double time back to the barracks which was another couple of miles. That was nothing compared to what any type of Special Forces training do but that day hardened me to the weather and it gave me confidence that if I don’t quit I can do anything. To all of my fellow Brothers thank you for having my back!
not to be the guy to take things literally( jk i totally am) but i think if you were as cod as they were you would be fine with that cause your body literally shuts down
Just recruit kids from the Pacific Ocean.. I never forgot my middle Name .... NEVER... and I grew up in the PO. Still .. I know what they go through... two of my buddies didn’t finish..
I am 79 yrs old .Fell out of a recliner and wasn't able to get up for 2+ days. Pulled a blanket over myself and urinated on the blanket (couldn't get up) which kept me warm...So it isn't a Navy SEAL that has a use for urine..
@@thegreatdogzilla5855 Now I've never heard of guys using during BUD/S or Green Team, but once they're in and are at a comfortable point in their career, some will bulk up. It's a career extender for sure.
is it close to when i went out on a night with shorts and a tshirt for condition training on cold and i couldnt even put my hand in my pocket due to how cold it was
Most people have no idea about hell week, this is 5 days then intense exercise with sleep deprivation. Nobody can past this. We wonder where they get them in for seal team six, it's at hellweek. Once you pass hellweek, you're pretty much in, you are a Navy SEAL
Look I’ve watched that BUDS Class 234 documentary, which was a winter class, and not once did anyone mention throwing their piss in someone else’s face
Jason Murray : Jason, when Ray was talking about being so cold in BUS/S, and what you are talking about about, you know, pissing on each other, isn't this "HELL WEEK"?
Hmmm...Ray is about my age (I'm guessing) so he probably went through roughly around the same time. I was BUD/S class 207. The event which he is referring which he didn't name, was Steel Beach. You are wet and cold--no, you are freezing--and you are being misted all at about 0200-0300 (2-3am for you civilian types). It sucks. You do stick. I have never been so cold in my entire life than I was that night. But, with all due respect Ray, I have never ever heard of guys throwing urine in another's face. Oh sure, we sat 'nut to butt' and when we'd piss it would be felt by those around you...and it felt good. But throwing in someone's face? Hmmm...gonna throw a flag on that one. BTW, I was Boat Crew 1 Leader...one of the "Stallions". Ha. Thanks for the compliment.
0:30 = Steel Pier! A well known evolution of pure fucking torture...jesus christ....jump in water, full uniform, jump out, strip down, lay on the steel pier, back in the water, get out and put your clothes, boots back on while timed...didn't make the time? Back in the water...and around and around it goes so yeah...goddamn savage levels of "I'll die before I quit" and that one nails it.
People think I'm nuts.....I've got 2 rods and 4 screws in my back, I've got 4 screws in my neck, when my pool goes to 57 degrees I spend about 20 minutes a day in it......I get out and feel 30 years younger........been doing it for 10 years......
Appalachian largemouth Fishing you can never fully prepare for BUDS. just run a lot, do push ups, pull ups, and be comfortable in water, and the rest is all mental.
If you send me messages I can send you links to it you can find all the information here on RU-vid just go to Navy Seals buds training academy you'll see all the videos you want to see
When your so excruciatingly exhausted you don't really care what someone does to you as long as it is not bringing you anymore tiredness...I can think of times I was so physically drained I wouldn't have cared if someone threw piss at me lolol.
Uh... They were given an order by the instructors, and of course, if the guy was injured someone would be along to retrieve him shortly. What part do you not understand?
