Andy Stumpf's abnormal career as a Navy SEAL

[@malcolmharley9826]

I have known Andy since he was a kid, our sons grew up together and I have watched him grow up from a skinny kid to The Navy’s finest. our sons played baseball together and Andy was the catcher on the SantaCruz Cardinals and very unassuming, what a fine young man he has turned out to be. That man has brass balls and they clink in storming weather, love me some Andy Stumpf.

[@chadsingleton732]

He also started BRCC

[@joshpointoh]

This is the highest praise you can get

[@Worstpersonsingular]

I can never get enough of Andy talking about his outstanding career. He’s so humble.

[@jirihutecka9020]

Yeah I like Andy as well. But keep in mind that the real humble guys will never show their face on the internet and talk about themselves.. So there are levels of humble...

[@mickeyfontanez2945]

Yes he is

[@oiitzME1266]

There's a pretty fun part in the Jocko Stumpf interview where he explained to Jocko how he acquired his butter bars

[@hotbello0071]

@@jirihutecka9020 Actually, for the folks that "talk" even though they are sworn to secrecy, it helps with their PTSG. Andy is a great guy, extremely level headed. Have never heard him "beat his chest".....he just goes by experience

[@jimmyhenson2167]

Hero.

[@theBFactor]

Why does Andy seem like the most trustworthy speaker of anything he tells us out of all the other SEALS? Clear, informative, no bs.

[@BlyGuy]

I like Andy, but the most honest tier 1 guy ive ever heard speak is John "Shrek" McPhee.

Decades of brainwashing and naïveté. Andy is actually a con artist and a fraud in many many ways.

[@MrCashewkitty]

​@@kingsman3087there were literally single ww2 battles with more fatalities than theb20 year GWOT. Technology and tactics sure have advanced. Fighting an insurgency vs along actual battle lines made the biggest difference

Andy is such a rare voice from these communities that stays grounded and cuts out so much of the BS. He has thankfully not bought into the hype machine in these communities. Rare gem from that world.

[@waynehearst317]

NO, he's actually not. He's known as a cock-bag in the teams and the command. Just ask him, he'll admit it.

[@jocsanabdala9456]

He lost to goat farmers in Afghanistan.

[@Outcome_Agent]

Andy's interviews are always good because he comes off as approachable, humble, and articulate without any of the fluff

[@williamedwards8493]

Thank you !!! To hear a hero like Andy talk about how hard his divorce was for the impact of his life is something that more men need to hear. I was married for 6 years through my army career and got divorced and thought I was dead inside. I felt weak and a failure of a man. Thank you Andy for being so open and honest with your struggle.

[@ernestpries6992]

Andy, I went through NSWG-1 Scout Sniper in the summer/fall of 1998. I was an Army Ranger and we were the first team from the Army to pass. The top 5 shooters were within 2 percentage points and I ended up being Top Marksman. Great course! Senior Chief Crampton was the man in charge, great warrior! I have attended SOTIC and Fort Benning sniper courses and the Navy COI was absolute best at that time by a long shot, no pun intended. Coalinga was a grind but had a great couple bars! Pig hunting was great to! Anyway, just couldn’t resist commenting, never do, this is a first!

Ddduuuudddeee!!! Minute 34:00 - I and several of my siblings have it too! I resist all pain drugs, approximately 50% of all antibiotics do not even work on me at all, and I’m fully anaphylactic allergic to codeine, but just the real actual codeine. The synthetics like dilaudid, oxy, hydro…. Those are all ok but they work about 1/4 as effectively on me as a regular person. It’s very frustrating when you have an ER visit that involves getting pain meds.

[@RobPainless]

What a terrific conversation this was. Thank you for this.

[@HappyGrouch]

*Andy might be the most blunt, badass, honest, clear spoken mudderFluker on the youtube streets lol This was entertaining all the way through and was extremely easy to keep up with, even though I had no clue what they were talking about because I'm not in the military. And I'm not a brainiac lol*

As a Canadian 27 year old civilian I got 110% respect for all you guys .. thank you for what you’ve done

[@sipzter357]

Very good interview Mr. Glover. I like the fact that you ask a question and then let the man speak. Mr. Stumpf made many excellent comments and observations. Although he purports to be unintelligent, that is the only less than 100 percent true comment he made! Having a bachelor's degree has not made me any smarter, I was just able to use it to get a little more money from my department. To my main point - Mr. Stumpf's statements as to America dealing with being attacked, according to history, he is absolutely correct. Why expend more money and lives when you can simply as he says "micro-nudge" through social media what people believe. That has been done and we as a society continue pointing at each other instead of recognizing the truth and coming together to quash the attackers. My hero, my dad, served in WWII USAAF, was then in the USAF in B-36's during Korea and did a year in 'Nam. He was a history student who could speak as thoughtfully and as eruditely as Mr. Stumpf. He used to say, "We don't have to worry about being attacked from the outside, we will destroy ourselves from within, if we are not very careful."

[@TriStarArmory]

I really enjoyed this. Andy always downplays his career and I appreciate the humility and often self deprecating humor 😅. But I think this was the first time he has detailed his career like this. Mike softening Andy up on writing that book😅

[@Nick-sz3wx]

He stood up and walked during sniper school. That’s why he went on to Team 6! thinking outside the box and all times. He and Mike are both great storytellers and listen to them for hours.

[@Hiberno_sperg]

You should listen to Kevin Owens (Irish Army Ranger/US Green Beret) story about sniper school. He took a radio, found the instructors channel and pinged all the targets as soon as they gave the command to pop them. That's what separates the elite from the regulars I guess

[@escapedfromnewyork]

@@Hiberno_spergThe military was all about playing the game, right from the start. In boot camp, our company commander would walk on top of and around these tables in the middle of the barracks when we were getting beat down for something or other. The guy wasn’t quiet & you knew when punishment (he called it “payday”) was coming. I’d quickly position myself between the racks so only my head/shoulders were out in the aisle. He’d keep us in the push-up “up” position for a long time, but I’d just be chilling with my knees on the deck. When he’d look my way, I’d make faces like I’m dying exerting myself. You learn to play the game fast.

[@em34ev3r]

Andy Stumpt was a tier 1 operator. Enough said, he's the man.

[@BirdDogey1]

My father enlisted in the Navy in 1935. As an E-7 was made a Warrant. Shortly thereafter, was given a college assessment exam and made an Ensign and is a plank owner for the USS Mann during WW II. You could gain rank quickly then.

As a man who did not serve, but have been around a lot of folks who have, I'm very thankful for men like Andy. He clearly has an extreme level of self discipline and discernment. And applies both with a level if mental acuity that sets him apart as a real leader. I am so thankful that there are still people who would know what to do immediately.

Andy is a very informative guy about his Navy career as a Seal, a lot of it is pretty exciting. He seems like a very humble and easy to talk to kind of person.

Andy doesn't seem to speak very much about his career path in the Navy, and I'm grateful to him and to you, Mike, for giving us the opportunity to learn more about it.

I love watching Andy on any platform that he’s on including his own. Thanks for sharing his time with us. I just wanted to give you a little more information your comment on walking on the outside while you’re with your wife going down the road. Originally, that started because of the roads, not having good enough drainage when we had and carriages. The man would always walk towards the outside, so if any water would splash up, it would first hit them. Not their female companion.FYI Again, keep up the good work can’t wait to watch the next one

[@jeffk2278]

I got a kick out of his experience as an O-1. Even though he had a ton of operational experience, whenever he needed to attend a staff meeting, he'd put on the appropriate higher rank insignia to ensure he had credibility at the meeting. Being retired Navy myself, I always thought one of the neater things about being in the Navy was not being afraid of being creative (and not necessarily in line with Navy Regulations) in solving problems.

I'm talking multiple heaping trays of food for each person. It was unbelievable and funny AF! Never knew they were team 6 though. The coolest thing i saw was the jacked up Chevy pickups with 44 inch tires that would launch or load their small attack boats right from the surf! No boat launches needed!

The most shocking part of his story is when he says he'd much rather take two in the face than one in the pelvis. My buddy was hit with an IED before they were armoring the HMMWV's and took shrapnel to the hip/pelvis. It caused him so many issues he was stuck at Bragg driving a desk and got out of the army asap. He was miserable...

[@sinepari9160]
