SWCC: Making an Operator - Episode 1 | AHM

[@orriebeck5002]

My son was SWCC for 20years. God Bless SWCC and their families.

[@Anonymous18817]

I’m a 22 year old woman and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted. I know five other women that are training for BUD/S, one of them is in BUD/S Prep right now. What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? How does the SEAL community feel about women joining them? Do you think women should be allowed to become Navy SEALs? Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course. Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures. Women have smaller and thinner bones than men.

@@Anonymous18817 You have to ask your self Can you pick up a hurt brother or sister and carry him or her out of trouble. When my son graduated from SWCC training In San Diego Ca The speaker was President Kennedy’s commander and chief. He was a little gentleman in his 90s. And this is what he told us parents. “ your son’s will kill” “ they are pirates for the United States Navy” “ and everything you’ve heard about Jack (President Kennedy)is the truth “ “ I’d pick him on my team every time”. He told us about a story The bogey island. Where the story of the bogey man started. It was the biggest Reality check for this mom. I believe anyone who has a dream needs to seek it out.

@@Anonymous18817 I cant speak for the SEALS. I can speak for AFSOC and ARSOF. I am prior AFSOC and current ARSOF. The third and forth stanzas of your comment sum up thoughts of women in the special operations (SOF) community. The training you go through mimics experiences you may encounter in real world scenarios. If you cant pull yourself up over a wall in full kit, pick up a team guy in kit who's most likely heavier than you and bigger than you (dead weight), or negotiate the obstacles the same as a male then please don't become a burden to the community. We aren't interested in the social/political conversations. We are interested in people who perform male or female. Doesn't matter. Effort and performance are two different things. Yes we look for max effort on teams, whether that is in the SEALs, Raiders, Green Berets (Special Forces), Ranger Regiment, etc. But you could be giving max effort and not come close to performing the way the rest of the team does. In the SF (Green Berets) community, we don't have a problem with females coming through the course as long as you can do the same as the men can. The are some places in SOF where women can be more of an asset than men are (use your imagination, intel collection etc.) At the end of the day, SOF (all of us), do not strive for the minimum we strive for the maximum.

[@Siegefya]

Because people have options. It's like one of the "maybe" only things you get to pick before you go into the military. I mean you gotta get through your school, or selection process or whatever...to get into the job you picked, but it's your choice at that recrutiers office and meps, After that, the military is dictating 90% of what you do... If not more, regardless if you're a high speed low drag operator or a clerk in an office. However, I will partly agree with you... I honestly think they should maybe look to mold SWCC into the SEAL community, like make it a speciality on the teams instead of making it its own thing. Because I do agree with you, some of this stuff is very buds like. But if they don't, that's cool too. Special boat crews have a long history in our military, they brought hell in Vietnam and got some during GWOT as well.

@@Anonymous18817 Only advice I can give you is become really comfortable with being uncomfortable. Practice water proficiency. Underwater breath holds, your side strokes, buddy tows etc. I would invest in an apnea table too to strengthen your lungs and hold capabilities. As far as the stress fracture go, that happens to everyone. I don’t know how the community would feel about women in those roles because I was never a seal. My opinion though, is not far from others whom I’ve spoken to in those fields. The standard is there. If you can’t meet them, then they won’t want you. Gender has nothing to do with any of it. You are training to do a job where others lives will heavily depend on your ability to rise to a given task and overcome it. The cadre there won’t have any sympathy for anyone. They are the gatekeepers and will hold any applicant to that standard. If you can meet it and be an asset to the teams, you’ll be welcomed. If not, then it is what it is.

I can, bud/s is harder and swcc is just as respectable

[@heatison11]

@randallhockemier6356 no, they're not just as respectable, I knew a guy in highschool who was SWCC but told his friends and family he was a Seal, because even the swcc guys know that seals are the ones who are known and popular

Wish I was a little younger so I could join SWCCs. Talk about badass jobs. The best I could probably do is get a billet with a Riverine Unit or VBSS but even there I am getting mixed messages as to whether or not they are still around, which I personally find annoying as I am sure it annoys everyone else.

[@HawaiianBro808]

Barely around anymore. Most guys struggle to get the billets. Even those who are in them are pretty lame, usually older, fat, lots of women, Navy sailors that have waited their whole career to shoot a M240 off a boat. I'd recommend NOT joining the Navy for this because there is no specific rate for Boat operations or VBSS other than SWCC. The Coast Guard offers better opportunities for similar stuff if you want VBSS training. I've found out pretty much most the Coast Guard are VBSS trained. I've trained DSF guys from MSRT and Port Security, all of whom are really well trained for that stuff due to their law enforcement capabilities. The Navy doesn't offer VBSS to many sailors, and even then, very few ever get much training or do it in the fleet.

[@AllHandsMagazine]

VBSS and Riverines (now known as Maritime Expeditionary Security Force, or MESF) are definitely still around! Check out channel - we have videos about both!

I’m a 22 year old woman and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted. I know five other women that are training for BUD/S, one of them is in BUD/S Prep right now. What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? How does the SEAL community feel about women joining them? Do you think women should be allowed to become Navy SEALs? Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course. Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures. Women have smaller and thinner bones than men.
