SWCC: Making an Operator - Episode 2 | AHM

[@ThomasBoyce5000]

I was told once that to go through this, the key is to gaslight yourself into thinking you're having fun in structured recreation.

[@1darknickguuurrrr]

NO!! To get through you have to always think about graduation day. You whack job. Put some respect on my foot print. Im navy frog here. Test me I will out PT you on my worst day you pessent

Way to put out gents! I always had fun air dropping you all out the back of my airplane into the unknown. Nothing like sending boats and a bunch of gangstas out the back to go get after it.

[@SnackPack913]

Man this seems very similar to buds. I had no idea these swcc guys were so hard as well

[@AllHandsMagazine]

Different specialties and missions but both are extremely difficult to pass!

[@artyomloukashov636]

My only reference is YT videos, but SWCC's selection has more focus on the mental strength and team integrity of the candidates. In contrast, SEAL's has a more personal/physical approach and is a bit more forgiving in comparison. Not to say that SEALs aren't the elite and the best, just that SWCC looks for something specific among those who qualify to be the aforementioned. If that makes any sense.

Hi, 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.

[@AllHandsMagazine]

Yes, a candidate can pass Alfa Phase and complete The Tour and then fail advanced training in Bravo and Charlie phases and not earn their pin.

[@RS7evenSLDR]

@@AllHandsMagazine no I meant make it through all 3 phases and for whatever reason not be selected. Or is it cut and dry if you make it to the end you graduate. I’m assuming there is no peer evaluations during the assessment and selection process

[@AllHandsMagazine]

@@RS7evenSLDR Ah I see - yes, if you make it through all three phases you graduate (although we at All Hands are not part of NSW and can't speak for them, it's possible people have made it that far and haven't been selected in the past)

[@ashontahuddleston6663]

I've never been to Bud/s training and had no desire to whatsoever. However, from watching these videos, it seems to me that you're mentally setting yourself up to fail. Possibly even during Basic. This is NOT a militaristic version of Who's Who or how well liked you can be around others. It's not a social gathering. I'm not saying you won't encounter biases; there will always be someone or something. Who cares? Why should you care? You're there to train, learn how to be a teammate, and make it into the Teams. If you make it through and join the Teams, what other people think of you won't matter because you will have proven to all that you are a SEAL. So, prepare hard physically and mentally, train hard and give 110% at all times, never quit, and you will get there. Remember, there is only one factor stopping you: YOU. DAN H. USAF '86-'90

[@Flemdragon]

You are going to fail even trying to ask questions and all this crap. When I went to rasp I didn’t even care or get nervous or anything it’s just another day. If you think training or the assessment is hard it doesn’t get easier. It only gets harder trust me.

Both communities should come thru the same pipeline {BUD's} . Seems it would be more cost effective, produce a known product for both communities. Problem with that no women would ever be in SWCC.

[@Izak213]

Not really, no need for SWCCs to go to BUD/S.

[@AllHandsMagazine]

The SWCC pipeline is intentionally different from BUD/S - the training focuses on building skills unique to SWCC's mission which isn't covered in BUD/S.

@@Anonymous18817 my advice would be to train hard and do the required physical training over and over again until it becomes easy. swim, pull ups, run, sit ups etc... Most importantly become mentally fit. It's 90 percent mental. Don't worry about how the SEAL Community feels about women becoming SEALS because what really matters is how YOU feel about becoming a NAVY SEAL and how hard you're willing to push yourself to become one. What the mind believes the body can achieve. I wish you and the rest of the females all the best. YOU CAN DO IT!!

@@ANostalgicMemory why

[@MachineGunPepe]

If SWCC wants to stand out for the teams and get from under their shadow they need to really stop advertising themselves as "boat drivers". And more like a Maritime Pirate hunting unit or something cooler like that. A unit that CAN infil SEALs but their main mission is destroying people with boats and doing recon. If they did that theyd have people lining up. Their marketing approach is wack.
