NAVY Seals asked me to tryout

[asubimmer]

Great job Adam, good luck being a seal if you decide to be one. Whatever you do though, buy lots of stuff from the bases. You can get stuff REALLY cheap.

SEAL:



"Killing baby seals": The Air Force's term for the use of fighter planes with stealth technology against enemy planes without. LOL

[Jand3rson]

Have fun being kill crazy!

Oh and working with a bunch of lazy assholes who have huge egos!

Now that we've gotten the opinion from the whiny liberal side of things, let's get back to the real point.

[Rob]

which is the fact that is the SEALs are asking Adam to try out, they are more desperate than a crackhead in Amish country...:p

[BeirBrennerE30]

ha ha , yup!

[marakka]

Umm..... Hmmm.... wow there's a lot of misconception about Special Forces out there.

I can really only comment about the Army SF program since thats my branch. Every stat about you is housed in a computer. Your ASVAB, your height, your weight... yada yada. All they do is put the minimum requirements in and print out a sheet of eligible people. It has nothing to do with how bad ass you really are. I get emails once a month when the SF recruiter is coming around asking me to join. I get them based on the fact that my GT score is 125 and thats the lowest of all my line scores on the ASVAB.

What numbers did you put up to get all those 2nd's and 4ths and such? I mean.... if you were taking a test against other initial entry soldiers then all that means is you are in shape coming in. My PT test I took a few weeks back.... 60 p/u 69 s/u and 15:01 2mile. I'm 27, 5ft 7 and 190lbs and so outta shape it ain't funny.

To each his own about SF selection. If you think its a blessing that they asked you to join.... you.... yeah.... Good luck if you do take the invitation.

I think Max was joking from the git-go. But aren't the SEALs seriously some of the most intelligent of the armed forces? I believe they are.

Yes they are. To be honest with you fox, as a Recruit Divsion Commander (DI), most of my SEAL candidates, can't keep up the daily pace of Seal training. Good luck though. you are coming in as soon as I drop this division and you might get me as your worst nightmare!!

Man congrats buddy. I hate running so more power to you. When they tie your hands and feet togather and make you swim underwater, have fun. I had to do that shit for my college swim team, and it sucks major balls.

[fox]

Yeah learning how to swim hog-tied will be odd. lol

lol if I do get you as my worse night-mare I'll be like

Officer Courtney! It's me, Recruit Seaman Fox!
*solute* haha

Then you'd probably be like. Oh, okay good! NOW DROP! :x
:bow:

[Slyder]

SEALs are good until they into a triple canopy and no longer have the starts to nav by ;) Give 'em a PLGR and they're like....."Oh $*(&$" :D lol

Ok...so you're in shape. I really hate to break it to you, but physical fitness is only about 10% of actually completing a SOC course like Ranger School, SEAL, Selection/Q-Course and then your actual specialty school. Not to be a dick, but I went to airborne school with 3 SEALs and 1 made it...and airborne school is the least physically demanding school I've ever been to.

Come back and tell us how you're doing after 3 weeks into SEAL school and you've been toyed with by instructors that have been places and done things. Oh, and a word of advice if you make it that far...during SERE training during the escape and evade phase...you WILL be caught ;) Sorry to burst your bubble. Just don't want you thinking that passing a PT is going to get you very far in training. Reality check.

Now that we've gotten the opinion from the whiny liberal side of things, let's get back to the real point.

Ok.

My brother is in the Navy. His original goal was to go through SEAL training. He did. He was stationed in Coronado for the time he trained. Ive talked to him extensively about it.

The people going through it really are cock bastards. And not even that, the actual officers telling you what to do are just as asshole-ish. It is not a fun process in any sense. It is not the physical aspect that is challening, it is all mental.

My brother quit. He did not quit from the physical point, but from what he saw. One of the original SEAL class came back and talked to the guys. And basically the only way of describing them is blood hungry. My bro was doing it for the challenge, but this was a big put off. He has no regrets about quitting, it wasnt what he expected it to be.

I can tell more if needed. But to make it short, the SEALs are still part of the Navy. If you want to go for it do it. But have fun working with lazy a-holes. Yes... lazy. There are some good DVDs from Discover that cover SEAL training of one of the class. Dramatized, but decent.

Good luck.

[fox]

Hmm. I would guess that the SEALs are blood hungry, since that's their job. To obliterate, kill, and destroy in a stealth like manner. hah.

I think I might go SWIG instead of SEAL. I'm studying both to see which I would rather do.

[AdironRider]

Everyone Ive ever talked to who has been in the military has told me that the most important thing in deciding what path to go down is to pick something that will actually give you a career later on in life. My best friends dad got his dental degree through the army, my other buddy is still in the army as an electrician. Both fields will give you guaranteed work outside of the force. Just something to think about as I dont know of to many blood hungry stealth assasin positions out there in the real world.
