DELTA | The Unafraid Podcast - Episode 15 

I’m 5 minutes in and wondering why this is called delta

Feels, I can say my mind gave me up. Was in selection and doing the long ruck and just kept asking myself if I really wanted to do this, hip was already hurting and I let that be the reason I "couldn't" continue. I basically gave up midway through the ruck. I could have pushed and made up the time I lost but I would stop running every time I asked my self if this is really what I wanted.. still kick myself everyday for not telling myself to shut up and dig, but I'm also happy in life where I am now. So I try not to beat myself up too bad because I realized I didn't want it as much as I thought.

You should get a x SAS man on your podcast. They the best . Delta was based on the SAS. With all the money you boys got you can afford it

Dale Comstock, Nick Lavery, and Mike Glover are the real and authentic dudes here on RU-vid.

Even SEALs gotta use Delta to get views lop

Actually one can train for the cold, such training will lead to neurological adaptation and changes in brown fat tissue. At some point of training many people will even begin to enjoy being in cold water because of dopamine release etc. E.g. Professor Andrew Huberman talks about this in his podcast and he is someone who has research connections to the SEALs. I don't know why many operators say otherwise in public; maybe they don't want people to train for it so the military can better select for candidates with genetical advantages for cold tolerance, which also exist.

Thanks Eddie! Your story is powerful and has me thinking about my own life.

I went for seal training but wound up being a gasket

Eddy you hit right on the head! Brother "out of body experience" ,,,,this what exactly what happened to me when I was a young "don't know shit grunt" in Camp Pendleton. I was so f****g tired I couldn't process shit anymore. Something weird was happening, but I just kept going. Thank you for your story brother,,,, you're so articulate keep up the good work 👍🏻

Is Mike Gall the guy he is talking about, is it his SEAL operator name? There is only one SEAL I know that played for Nebraska and that isn't his name.

I disagree about the getting used to being cold one, sleep deprivation is different but you can definitely get used to the cold. I go in iced over lakes where there’s a spring and the first time I could only be in there for seconds now I can go for minutes. I also shower using my hose in the morning and at night with Ice cold Water when it’s like -2 out. And I honestly love it, I get exited to do it in the mornings now and I definitely have built up a resistance to it.

The BUDs he is talking about sounds completely different from when I went through which was more recently. Not a single person even made it past Hell Week from my original class. 0% pass rate and that was the same story for the class before mine as well.

Delta… airlines?

Thank you sir for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Great informational video .

I appreciate you, Eddie.

I know someone is going to laugh at me, but you speak of, "SQT" and spoke of someone getting dropped during that time and that's what 26 weeks?. I joined the Army at the age of 30 years old after graduating from college and being an undercover narcotics officer for 8 years. Let me just say, I didn't go to a police department ever. I did not put on a uniform and chase taillights. My grandpa told me I needed to serve my country, but of course, I told him I do serve my country. He said, "NO, you have to join the military. So I left a great paying job to go to Fort Benning, GA, in 1999 and do my part. My question is, after SQT, what is the next phase? I have four really close friends that are Seals, but If I call them asking them questions, they are going to laugh at me, because I think I still have it at 53 years old. I jump, I dive, and I live for my rush all the time. I love my Halo jumps and I live for the next time I can go do it, but I was never anything like you guys, of course. I love watching you guys talk about it, because I was meant to be there, but when I finished all my training, I was 34 and went back to arresting drug dealers and kicking ass in my way. I now I write, produce and direct movies. I am so proud of you guys and all of those that kicked ass. Thank you for doing this youtube thing, I love it and God Bless you. Mentally, physically and morally straight.

Keep at it fellas. The conversation was good and seamless

The title is a little misleading. Does anyone know of a blog with Army Operators from the Regiment or any of the teams interacting? No disrespect to the Sqids, just wondering whats doing outta Bragg, Benning ect...Thank you.

Any job on a construction site is harder

Y’all lost your mind, this is a series. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo…

22:53

Like your vans! My first pair is was checkered with pink in the middle.... That was way back in 1986🤪

I’m finally here, he said lol…. Yeah even getting the opportunity to get to BUD/s is difficult in itself. No not the screen test which is a joke😂. If the door was bigger for buds the drop out rate wouldn’t be so high.

Tahu tempe

Do you have to get sleeve tattoos to be a Navy Seal?

@jackg wtf does it matter dude? Just keep watching 🤪

for staying awake in the selection, what will happen if you can sleep through anything? will i be kicked out? is that a blessing or a curse?

What is that a friggin ice pick on the table?? Of course.. seal shit

Great episode Eddie. Always do an awesome job telling stories and breaking down your experiences. Hope to get my hands on a copy of your book soon. God bless!

Is that the dude from 3rd rock from the sun?

I'm the best navy seal who ever lived

DAMN GOOD PODCAST , THANK-YALL FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE, GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏🏼🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸🙏🏼🤜🏾🤛🏻

You earn it not by just getting through the course you get it on the battle field. Proven Warrior at least that's how I got mine back in 1990

He skips leg day

You are a hard man to reach

I thought that when they made you roll around in the sand when you were wet it was called “chicken cutlet”. Times have changed I guess. Also I thought this was going to be about Delta.

I find it hard to believe anyone is unafraid... in fact if you're unafraid it's time to go because you could get you and your team killed if your that jaded

When will ECHO drop?

what app can i listen to and follow this podcast?

Navy did a experiment where they attenpted to figure ,"who if any were most likely to make it through BUDS?" Football, baseball players . That didnt get into the NFL.,MLB .Water polo athletes, etc. etc etc? No matter the combination? It was always 80%? that didnt get through? They said that," there was a healthy amount of H.S. college wrestlers and guy's from Maine?" Not enough of a percentage that would qualify to be a relevent statistic? Navy stance is that there's never enough SEALS ? So they were looking into how to get more BUDS students to graduate, per. class.. Without lowering standards? No matter the combination. It was always 20% that graduated? Hopefully the 9th place ribbon BS doesn't infect this aspect of the military ?

Just a tip for guys interested in it. Pre BUDs isn’t a thing anymore. The night you finish boot camp you get flown to SD. You workout with active duty guys called “motivatiors” when you get there then you go to indoc. Each phase is 45 days.

What about earning the EG&A?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

so wait, was he not living on base in Buds?

Yoooo

Can’t wait for the audiobook

Great content Gentlemen!

Looks like the Delta fruit cake is paralyzed

I am Happy Christ is in your life, I was making fun of you and your guest

Book is amazing. Btw Eddie just curious, if you were offered to have a role in Adam Brown's movie, would you be in?

Great video Eddie. I'd love to meet you Eddie!!!

I respect what a lot of these spec ops guys did to become spec ops. However, they are completely blinded to reality. They buy into the narrative that the US are the good guys in every situation. I would imagine you would have to buy into it after you have been through what these guys have inorder to live with yourself. This flavor of veteran is just a bit too boot lickery for myself personally.

Thank you for your service Eddie for real what you guys who were Navy Seals tier 1 and tier 2 Navy Seals do the dirty jobs the hard jobs and it seems you guys would rather die than fail your mission and the brother beside you...Thanks for serving to keep us americans safe...

Nobody is perfect in A seal team Period that's why there is a team. We taught each other and continued to Get Perfected. You don't get your Trident until you have passed and your Team has to Agree they give it to you hard

If you can't run how did you make it?????????????

How can anyone make a negative comment about Eddie knowing he completed seal training and had a good career as a seal , without any doubt and arguably the toughest military training in the world

Positive vibes only and I ain't a racist but the can't be any Black men in the Seals cos they can't swim or is there any on a seal team?

Hooyah brothers. Great podcast. At BUDs you either measure up or don't. The elements train you, either you have the mental strength and genetics to overcome extreme adversity....or you ring a bell. No military specialty should break you, but it does. What is inside of you shows daily. 6 yr special weapons vet, Lebanon Grenada and NATO Europe.

I definitely love you guys and appreciate your service. But, these podcast only put on the same people the same story. What about switching it up? Maybe interview some inter city people who are suffering from the same PTSD from the wars with in the inter cities. There's alot of solid stories out here if u look. No disrespect but the same guys keep getting interviewed. We all know there stories already

"Your mind is all you have left. What you decide....that is a choice. IT'S A CHOICE." One of the most awesome statements ever spoken.

What is day to day Garrison life like state side as a seal? Get much family time or is it just nonstop training?

My daughter does the middle 2 finger thing as well..so cute hey..

Every seal now has a story to tell and the hardships they had to go through….. (No hate on them, they are badasses in their own right)…. But u never hear about delta guys bragging…. They are the true silent professionals who don’t need to be on any podcasts (except for the tiny few who give tiny tid bits nowadays), no delta has ever tried to be a seal but all seals wanna or tried to be in delta…
