Becoming a SEAL on a Dare

Ray "Cash" Care relives the moment he decided to pursue Navy SEAL training - on a dare from a friend.

[@franklin9509]

There is no better way to get a Navy SEAL to do something than by telling him that he can't.

[@jjlax7]

Hell yes; I operate the same way.

[@yeeetster106]

Just thanked my father a month ago for not believing in me and trying to talk me out of it. That’s exactly what I needed

[@zelios2361]

The SEALs mentality is so amazing.

[@herecomesthelightning8618]

@joyfulvulture it wasn't about the decision to make it himself it was one of those things like "hey bro I'm gonna ask her out, "no you won't" oh yeah ?" He just wanted to see what his friend would say

[@sroydetroy6404]

@joyfulvulture like you could be a seal.. pfff loser

[@hammercrg]

joyfulvulture you’re a special kind of douche aren’t you? Go back to playing whatever video game makes you feel like a total badass....in your parents basement. Real men and women protect this country but you wouldn’t know anything about that....it’s big boy shit, take care pumpkin and say hi to your mom for me.

[@iamjason1279]

For those who are wondering about becoming a Navy Seal, this is not an overnight process to get into. First you need to join the navy. Request a Seal contract, take the ASVAB for the seals to see if your even qualified. Once that’s done you go to take a seal PT test and then if you pass you go to BUD/S. Good luck to anyone who’s choosing this path in life I say go for it 100%.

[@SubtleBo]

and BUDS is just the beginning of the training, pretty much around 6 years total of training which is nuts but a lot is on duty so.

[@m_r2813]

I’m planning to do this man I need to start now I’m only 15 but this is a goal for me I’m going to accomplish

[@kevinjohnson6549]

Subtle Bo it’s 2 years

[@SubtleBo]

@@kevinjohnson6549 you aren't done training after 2 years they train and learn all the time. If they just stopped learning and training after 2 years they wouldn't be as effective as they are. Plenty go after their 2 years to other schools and train more. Sometimes as punishment other times not.

[@matthewhoward5822]

Some good quality information right there! Appreciate the heads up👍

[@mickeybauer1283]

My brother told me that you have to be a child prodigy to be a Navy SEAL. I'm going to prove him wrong, and he is going to come to my graduation.

[@gustavoarteaga2812]

Nice bro i wanna be a Navy SEAL as well. Im 13 got 4 years to train to become one i hope to be a SEAL.

[@gustavoarteaga2812]

And not to be weird or anything but do you have a kik or a Instagram so we can talk about this more? Its ok if you do not wanna give me it i understand.

[@mickeybauer1283]

***** By child prodigy he mean extreme gifted, not necessarily smart

[@mickeybauer1283]

Gustavo Arteaga Sorry man. I hope you do well, but I don't give my information out to strangers. I hope you understand

Aug 23 1995. That would've made him class 201.

[@CannibalLecter]

+Ecnadnus Aobmag how do years determine classes? Just curious, not looking for a debate lol

[@5Hessens]

+Herp Derp I don't think it has to do with the date. You just have to know I am pretty sure.

[@CannibalLecter]

huh ok then

thanks

[@salrivera3397]

Most savage thing I ever heard

[@starsnstripesforever5601]

SEMPER! I had a buddy back in HS that told me I'd never be a Marine, uncles and other family members also. My "buddy" and I was going to do the buddy enlistment but he went ahead and signed up b/c his mom (RIP) and dad told him I wouldn't do it (he even told me my Mother talked to him about me not able to make it). He ended up backing down from his contract and I ended up becoming a Marine. Learned allot from that. You need to have a positive voice in your head and NEVER tell ANYONE they cant.

[@justaguy4real]

That was entertaining. But my stories are quite the opposite, I have plenty friends telling me I DO have the mind and soul to do great and difficult feats, however something always holds me back e.g. money, family emergency, background check, shlt that is out of my control or in the past. I want to do great things, but turns out I'm quite worthless and a waste of abilities.

[@Max-nu1bd]

Username not found Error God is alive and well, but he will not bless this country ridden with sin. Heck, even our beloved SEAL teams, who have to us humans one of the coolest jobs in the world, are committing murder in the eyes of God. One of the reasons I can't try out for BUD/S, otherwise I would. There's a story of a SEAL who was behind enemy lines, and came to God at that time. A couple years down the line he was offered a tryout for DEVGRU, but he felt lead by God to be a pastor. That is what's called denying our fleshly interests. Steve Watkins is his name

[@bicboiination1937]

amazing some day im gonna be a seal

[@kratoscraken5614]

Daring a U.S. NAVY SEAL to be great.....yea thats a good bet 💪

[@ryand.1008]

He wasn't a seal at that point though.

[@patrickreilly2338]

God bless all seals Xusn I could not be not many can. My only heroes. True super star for usa. A special breed. Just be happy we have some.

[@lisastarves5543]

I had a dream i was a seal.. and im only like 5foot.. 2 ))lol iknow right.. small woman...

[@lisastarves5543]

But in that dream .. it was like so real.. but a tuff job..

It’s kind of like learning ballet so you can ironically bully male ballerinas

[@bboydevs03]

never knew about this SEAL stuff until I was approached by a SEAL recruiter. Even though now i'm a CT, the little bit of training I received changed my life

[@mickfunny4185]

Michael Goins what is a CT?

[@toogs61]

I believe a cryptologic technician

[@vladan9826]

counter terrorist

[@primate4]

I never knew that there was such a thing as a SEAL recruiter. I’ve only heard of Navy recruiters. When I spoke with one regarding joining to become a SEAL, he tried to steer me into becoming a “nuke” because the attrition rate is so high.

[@Mrarson360]

That was also the happiest day & best day that happen to America having someone like you defending us.

[@johnmarston2616]

This dude has probably gotten married, had kids and says “happiest day of my life” when he graduated BUDS. No shame in that whatsoever but I bet his wife/family would have something to say about it 😂

[@emersonsaffioti2574]

I like truth or dare I’m more of a fan of spin the bottle I got my real navy seal gold trident kissing a girl playing spin the bottle. My chirps are out of this world.

Signed up for the navy a month ago, took the asvab and got a 79 on it. Now I take my PST in the first week of October. I dropped out of school and pilot training to do this. My mom, dad, brother, all my friends, everyone I know thinks I’m crazy and can’t make it. They’ll all be at my graduation.

[@waderichman4248]

how isnit going

[@SGM514]

@@waderichman4248 My first PST wasn’t good enough, my pushups and sit-ups weren’t competitive. Earned a Seal contract on my second PST. Got a 9:46 500 meter swim. 17 pull-ups, 75 pushups, 72 sit-ups, 8:06 1.5 mile run. Waiting on shipping information right now. I’ve gotten word that all December slots are taken so I’m guessing I’ll ship out spring 2021.

[@waderichman4248]

@@SGM514 so what do u do until spring 2021

[@SGM514]

@@waderichman4248 I continue training with my NSW group from my state. Do longer swims, 1000,1500,2000 meters with and without fins. Do way more sets of pushups, sit-ups, Flutter kicks, dips, pull-ups etc. with fewer reps per set so I can focus on hitting 500-1000 reps in a few hours or across a day. Gonna hit the weights a lot harder try and get stronger everywhere especially legs and overhead presses. I’m 6’0 180lbs with no body fat at the moment, I’m gonna try and hit 200lbs and put on some good muscle and fat by March so I don’t freeze my dick off.

@@SGM514 keep me updated with ur journey brother. I am possibly going to join DEP 8weeks in navy bootcamp in illinois and train and pass the PST for seals. Then earn a contract. And go to buds.
