Thank you man, lives are going to change because of this episode right here.

[@magnusred2945]

Yo this was fucking incredible, JAKE AND JAY I SALUTE YOU!!!! I screamed laughing when the kids took out the tank 😂😂😂

[@magnusred2945]

And then got their ass beat

[@Greg_fitz]

Nobody respects you Jake

[@jakezweig]

@@Greg_fitz LOL thanks for the support!!!!

[@InstructorBlackDynamite]

I’ve been following Officer Zweig since I found out who he was many years ago. I joined the navy in 2010 and I can confidently say the navy is still the same cesspool for a Black kid who’s driven and hates to fail. 6months I was double qualed EXW and ESWS. First person in history of the navy to do it on the USS Ponce. COC betting against me saying I’d fail. Couldn’t get signature to put in a packet. The racism was too much and no solid mentor. I got out and did SWAT at my department. Hearing his story just realizing it wasn’t just in my head or it wasn’t just my experience at my level. It’s crazy. Mad respect for you both!!!

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

Thanks for sharing

[@jakezweig]

Thank you

[@jakezweig]

Your struggles are new

[@dannyboy3163]

I appreciate you bro. But I think sometimes what guys like you and Jake are calling racism is just ignorance and stupidity. Because the thing you guys may not realize is that guys of all different skin colors (especially Jewish guys, Italian guys anyone that’s looked at as coming from more “urban” or “city” environments) are going through the same struggles. The military has always been made up of so many guys from rural environments…the way they play is crazy. I could be wrong but just thought I’d let you know

[@christopherchesler5717]

​@dannyboy3163 Ignorance and stupidity is where racism comes from. We do need to give ignorant and stupid people grace. But ignorant and stupid people should also attempt to inform themselves

[@hoofgripweightlifting6872]

I dig Jake. For a Naval Academy / SEAL, he is awesome and just down to earth. Considering his childhood, he came out to the top. Wow. Just wow. Respect.

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

I agree

[@TILLEYJS]

He's brings it up in this conversation. Interesting nature versus nurture argument. Had he got advice from his parents. Had he went back after 9/11. Just these little decisions can change an entire trajectory of life.

[@christophertheconqueror8751]

Great video. A black Navy SEAL and Green Beret just chopping it up! Massive wisdom in all this.

[@drebeas1979]

This was amazing. Jake's story would be a bomb ass, motivating movie/documentary.

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

I agree 100%

[@veteransowhat5669]

I am having trouble grasping the highschool collegent wrestling. I might know the significance but it just is odd. WWE I know what he means but that sucked and was stressful how do I revive myself my confidence after that...... It was so depressing......Can you identify incorrect VA paperwork?

[@RossNaylor-uq4jp]

Thats disrespectful saying jake was lucky the man made his own luck he worked his ass off to get where he wanted to go he is a great example to the next generation of seals thanks for a great interview guys 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪🇺🇸👊✌

[@erad3035]

I was in Class 209 and 'almost' wish I had enlisted a year later so I could have witnessed Zweig's antics.

[@jakezweig]

Love to have you man

[@1anre]

Hahaha. What team did you finish your career in & what was your specialty?

[@BigTInTheMorning]

Champions for LIFE. These stories about adversity and dealing with BS just goes to show that all the little shit don’t matter, keep moving forward, love it!

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

I agree 1000%

[@Jc-ly6pe]

Ppl try to act like racism isn’t alive this man is fighting for his country and still can’t get respect

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

It happens

[@coreyferguson1341]

And you gon let someone ignorance stop you?! Nah im gonna keep on trucking

[@Jc-ly6pe]

@@coreyferguson1341 lol of course not I’m jus saying that ppl act like it’s a thing of the past like slavery most ppl think slavery ended in the 1800’s but if u read the 13th amendment in the constitution it’s clearly still allowed

[@johnnybronco9118]

Some Racism still exists in all communities but it's hardly a factor...

[@DowntownDeuce2]

And you believe this clown who was kicked out of teams?

[@TILLEYJS]

This is why I like Jake. My way of trusting or gauging trustworthiness is the other person ability to tell their fuckups. It shows self reflection and an ability to live in reality versus candy land. When picking a mentor, that's another aspect of their personality to choose from. Invaluable in conversation.

[@philipdru9290]

Great interview! Jake is an inspiration ever bit as David Goggins. Both are an inspiration, especially to young black males who so desperately need positive role models. You and Jake need to do a podcast together, it would be as big as Sean Ryan’s!

[@TILLEYJS]

A lot of folks shit on social media. To me, it's the same as alcohol or money. No morality. It's up to you how you use it. In what other time could we hear such a conversation. Only in today's time. What a great time to be alive.

[@One_of_Gods_Warriors]

I love the ending where you guys just talk about the real shit that comes with operating. The world needs more of this conversation

[@MrBuffalosoldier34]

This was a great interview. I think some of the best advice was towards the end. The big green machine will always keep moving after you're gone. Whether it is in the military or in the corporate world, so always try to make time for family. You can never get back time .

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

I agree with you

[@magnusred2945]

JAY I have to give you huge props, you are a great interviewer, you let him speak! Thank you!

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

Thank you

[@alantyson7379]

Jake Zweig interview is coming full circle now.

[@Drop_off_on_the_right]

He reminds me of a Naval Academy grad I met some time back. He became a Marine Infantry Officer. He was wild too. Down to earth and spoke his mind just like this. I think he was a 3:05:03 Q (Omega Psi Phi) which I didn’t even know you could do that at the Academy. I look back on my life and sometimes wonder if I should have taken my opportunity to go to the Air Force Academy. I’d be retired now. Anyway, I love the interview. These are role models that, yes, young black men need to see and hear.

[@kevinfarrell8570]

That was one of the funniest most interesting interviews I have ever seen. I am a lifelong wrestler, former vet.. current LEO and dad of a 6 yr old. Highly motivating!

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@user-uh7qz8gi1g]

You guys give me motivation to bring out the motivation in myself. You all are some real as it gets people. Thanks

[@3Lijahh]

unless you physically have pushed yourself or been pushed beyond what you thought was possible, you can't really fathom how many odds this man has overcome; not only through cleverness, planning, and consistent training, but also being built for it. Also if you weren't in the Navy, you have no idea the level of memorization and understanding you need to get a qualification. His story is a testament to how much preparation can help you instead of standing there idle with you thumb in your ass. Always like listening to guys like this. Four year Navy veteran, nuclear steam plant operator thank you both Jay and Jake.

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

Nicely said

[@ce6654]

I loved watching Jake in "Dude, You're Screwed!" on Discovery Channel, with good ol' Terry Schap.

[@casbornstudios]

It's profound to have both of you in dialogue, this is legendary...Thanks for creating a deep life mental toughness wisdom drop for mentorship .

[@bennett437]

Jake the OG he is real one much respect

[@jakezweig]

This is the way

[@thetruth1635]

Work / life balance disappeared from this guy life at birth .Respect 👍.

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

I agree

[@MpoweredBMW]

Probably my favorite episode. Jake seems like a great dude.

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

He is man

[@jayt5346]

When he talks about them beating him up like they were all in the WWE that sht was too funny 😭

[@JKNIFE]

I like the part where he names which instructors he took souls from

[@Mrd1_j6665]

Jake is My Dude!! This Bruh is REAL ...100%

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

1000%

[@gabos7892]

There are currently 2500 active Navy Seals today. 45 of them are black. The African American population in the US is roughly 45 million. If you ever see a black Navy Seal, he's literally "one in a million".

[@unclemoe6043]

Hey Cat, Did Lewis my last year. Got me a job as Grounds Keeper, Steilacoom School District, 78-79. Got picked up VRA, McNeil Island, Corrections. Lived just outside of McCord AFB. "Sua Sponte" Shirt jumped out at me, Jr. Awesome podcast Son !!!

[@sidewinder4718]

🗣yeah, the culture of the Navy in the 80’s and 90’s was incredible for certain cultures. Jay is the personification of the evolution of a man✅

[@gzano7008]

From what a boy raised by white people, who is not black, but feel the need to talk like he was part of the hood?

[@gzano7008]

And I like Jake spirit and no bs attitude

[@ftc9258]

LOVE this dude. He's doing the lord's work, man.

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

Yep

[@jakezweig]

Thank you man

[@Guns_and_Outdoors_Channel]

Great podcast GB chronicles❗️🔥 Jake’s story is one of the best! He has so much passion, self purpose, and dedication. People need to put color behind them. The world needs to stop seeing black, white, yellow, brown. When you’re in the service we need to focus on seeing “green and blue”. The mentorship thing is excellent advice . In my early days I never had a mentor and then later on in life I had mentors. They are awesome, and can become lifelong friends. In closing you get out of it, what you put into it

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

Yeah it’s awesome story

[@tirtlesarecool4654]

I love this dude, remember him from the Top Shot, he was cool before being a SEAL was cool. We need more of him

[@TheCitizenRemy]

That story about father telling the guys to beat him up, was pure fatherly love.

[@GreenBeretChronicles]

I agree 100%, tough fatherly love

[@yaboikillermemestar5665]

With a grain of salt though... His issues of responding to things with violence was probably caused by that too

[@marcpelta4055]

I LOVE this interview!!! Immensely powerful. What amazing role models. Please do more.

Awesome interview Big Jake Z and Jay . Very educational motivational and inspirational. Thanks for sharing your story Mr Jake. FYI I'm a army veteran as well 11B . Mr Jake like Jay said everything happens for a reason. You made the right decision if you look at where you're at now. I did deploy to South West Asia i.e. Iraq and was humbled quick. Many soldiers were KIA during the 1st day in theater due to combat and non combat injuries. Anyways I follow both of you two as an over 45 yrs old brotha for knowledge wisdom education and encouragement. 🤜🏿🤛🏿 ✊🏿 peace and blessings Jake and Jay

Interesting af

[@cej3940]

Been binge listening to Jake's content He gives such a great gut check, he gives the kinda outlook that to me emphasizes the importance of staying on my toes and always trying to square my shit away and urging to be better sooner Hell, I lapsed and let myself get too excited about the idea of SOF, while its good to hold oneself to that standard, I've been more focused on reaching past said standard but moreso within the context of "I want to be the best infanteer I can be" rather than "I wanna get into SOF", especially considering how Canada makes it only available after about 3 years I hope that later in life I'm lucky enough that I can take a photo and mail it to Mr. Zweig and attribute at least a good chunk of my success to his gut checks
