I enjoyed your sea stories. I graduated Class 99 (Oct '78). I was a 32 yo Ensign so I was an old guy to my classmates. I laughed my ass off at your completely accurate description of the San Clemente cactus. During the FTX (Final Training eXercise), my squad was moving down a gully near Wilson's Cove. I stumbled and fell full stretch into one of those cactus patches. My guys pulled me out and we finished the op and the 7-mile patrol back to camp. My squadmates then had a fun time pulling over 500 cactus spines out of me. I had completely forgotten about that until your 3rd phase story. Hooyah 99. But the way, I served with Al Huey in UDT 11. He was a Senior Chief at was about to retire with 38 years of service. A real legend.

Senior chief with 38 years? He must of had some crazy career

[@robertnoll2002]

WOW ... I could listen to your stories for days and days !!! Sadly I'm hitting 73 and I wish that I could have become one of your personal friends but that's not in the cards !!! I truly hope that the people lucky enough to be close to you can understand and appreciate how unique and special you are !!! God Bless you for all that you have done and for what you continue to do for this Country and it's Constitution !!! Bobby Noll

So proud that my country has such brave, strong men. I mean mentally tough also. My nephew tried for Navy Seals but there was something wrong with his hips and he couldn’t do it. He was in every sport there is since he was about 6 years old, but came from a rich family and never had to face any hardship. From your videos I can see why he would struggle. I am 56 year old female but you are inspiring me to find ways to work mental and physical toughness training into my life. Thanks to all our military out there, vets and still serving.

Stop living vicariously through others. Why are you talking about your family in public forums to get likes?

[@twocyclediesel1280]

I enjoyed these videos on BUDS so much. I was a Marine and went through PI in 87. I’ve wished over the years that I’d gone the Navy route and tried the SEAL thing at some point. It’s something I’d love to know if I had what it took. Oh well, maybe another life. I do hate the frigging cold and for me, that sounds like the worst. I respect all you guys for being able to push yourselves through all that stuff. I could listen to your stories all day. Thanks for sharing it with us as well as your service in the world’s toughest military training.

I love hearing about every aspect of what you Navy SEALS go through in order to become SEAL! Very intense and educational!

I never thought one day I would see a Navy SEAL with a ZZ top guitarist beard style (I know, Chadd is a former Navy SEAL but to me, once a SEAL always a SEAL). I'm kidding.

I enjoy these sessions, thank you for the insight.

Very interesting. I am amazed how much endurance some people have and what they can endure. I would for sure have dropped out already in the first phase. So I really admire the stamina of those people who make it to the end.

Inflatable Boat, Small training. I was coxswain. I had my hands on the motor, my M-16, a PRC-25 on the deck. We went broadside coming through the surf and capsized. I held onto the motor and my rifle. Lost the radio. I spent 8 hours in the surf looking for the radio. This was on Coronado. I enjoyed the Rock but I wasn’t in BUD/S. Regular Navy Remote Sensor Team. I learned a distaste for cactus.

I try to show people my favorite few minutes of one of the channel's videos anytime I can that could possibly benefit or at least enjoy watching. Get a ton more interest from sitting with a group of people watching one. I'm asked all the time, “ hey, Hey HEYyyy Man what have you got your face in? you missed the last 4 conversations….”! That’s one way to try to share a channel though at least. Anyhow keep going I know for me and probably a lot of guys and gals that you have great teaching ability in you. I don't blow smoke I had a couple teachers that had your passion and talked/projected things similar and sure made class fun and I always magical reasons learned from them things I remember today.

I was never Navy but I served in the US Army. I always tell people that do not know, BUD/S is just the basics and begining, You still have airborne school and SQT, then you have to get to the unit and then the real training begins. Its like basic training for the US Army, Your not a real soldier just because you complete basic training, You still have Advance individual training, possibly airborne school. then you get to the unit to start doing your real job. Training never stops. Great Video.

Incredible story! What a mind f_ck that entire series of brutal training you volunteered to participate through! I'm a disabled Army Tank commander and went through a variety of schools. The most difficult school for me was NBC/ Chemical Warfare only because of the academic portions, no physical stuff, you just had to be a somewhat intelligent. I went to the NATO/Warsaw Pact weapons school while out Troop occupied our border camp in Weiden, West Germany but I loved participating in that school. They didn't hold a shoe string compared to the brutality y'all suffered! I salute you and thank you for your Service!
