Brit Reacts to How the NAVY SEALs Work

[@susansoltys4874]

The SEALs are bad to the bone. The training is grueling. So much respect for them.🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@richdemanowski2575]

Absolutely. Those guys are amazing. I would never want to be on the receiving end of their wrath. I've known several of them over the years, and had more than one say of the Marine Scout Snipers that "now those guys are SCARY." Having also known a couple of snipers, I concur. When the SEALs roll in, they'll flatten you like a steamroller, and then vanish into the night. When the sniper hits you, OTOH, you'll never even know they were there. You'll just suddenly be kaput, and nobody - not even the SEALs - will ever know where the shot came from.

[@suepall5425]

I believe it was Seal Team 6 that took out Bin Laden. My husband and I were active duty U.S. Navy. When we were stationed in the Philippines in the early 90's our house on base was at the top of Binictican Heights, a steep incline up a low mountain. The temp in the Philippines ranges from 90 to 100 degrees. Every afternoon they would raise the black flag which is a warning to stay indoors because it is too hot for safe outdoor activity. The Seal Team for Subic Bay would come running, not jogging, full out running up that mountain with full gear (packs) on their backs every day when the black flag was flying. These guys made it look easy. I've never lost my respect for these Naval warriors.

I met a team of SEALS while onboard the USS Kiersarge in 2010. Some of the toughest looking but easy going guys I ever talked to. Didn’t interact much but did get to do some target practice off the flight deck and saw them taking off in helicopters a lot headed for somewhere off the coasts of Somalia and Yemen. No idea what they did but a couple of times they’d come back with one more person than they left and that guy would be wearing special bracelets and a hood.

Had an ex Navy SEAL in one of my firefighter classes I taught. He had lost a hand in Vietnam and had a mechanical metal ,two piece hook style replacement.

The attrition rate is for BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL) is pretty high. Only about 9.5% of the total that start finish SEAL qualification training. And that's just the basic stuff. BUD/S is 24 weeks, then Parachute jump school is 3 weeks, then SEAL Qualification Training (SQT) is 26 weeks. Even when you get to a Troop the training doesn't stop.

Then we became friends and they called me when they needed a ride since they trusted me. Most of them you would not think they where seals , they are not your stereotypical guys that are all muscle, well most of them. They look like any other person because they want to blend in . cool guys to hang around with , i even got invited to the range with a couple of them since iam a gun person . Most of them live in a gated comunity here in san diego, and building downtown san diego. BTW that sea traiing is brutal , like i said i live in san diego and they do that here , and the water is freezing cold , i myself havent got in to the water in years and i live like 2 miles from the beach lol . These guys go in it at 3 ,4 5 am, and during BUDS or hell week , they do not sleep for 5 days . You want to know what the crazy part of all of this, they are not the elite of special forces ,that tittle goes to delta, even seals try to get in to delta force.

You have got to watch the Navy's Blue Angels. Check out the video that's filmed from the cockpit. I've seen several Blue Angels air shows, and they're awesome!

[@BTinSF]

I know this is not a popular thing to say to this crowd, but the Blue Angels and the Air Force's similar stunt flying unit are essentially recruiting tools and I think their close formation and some of their other flying over dense cities is unnecessarily dangerous as well as a bit of a poke in the eye to any civilians who object to the noise and having their pets terrified. I live in downtown San Francisco and every year during "Fleet Week" they do their tricks right over the city as well as more appropriately over the Bay. And every year I wonder if this is the year one of those planes is going to experience a tiny error or a little glitch that brings it down in the heart of the city. Let me repeat what I said above: I'm a Navy retiree. I knew many pilots during my career. I'm not anti-military. I just think stunt flying right over cities takes too many risks.

[@andiross3176]

The Blue Angels flew over Houston close to where I live a couple of years ago during covid. I live close to a hospital and they flew over to pay tribute to hospital personnel. It was really incredible!!

[@BTinSF]

@@andiross3176 "Flying over" isn't really what I'm talking about unless they did one of those maneuvers where the wing tips appear to be inches (but are probably a couple of feet) apart. Also, once is one thing. Where I live--quite near San Francisco City Hall--they do it for 3 days (2 days of "practice" and then the show) for several hours at a time every year. They could do the same tricks over the Bay with all their fans on the shore.

I served 23 years in the U.S. Navy and I met many Seals however I was not a seal (I would not even pass the mental requirements) Seals do train very hard but so do all of the other Special Forces that we have, Rangers, Recons, Delta Force, Green Berets, etc…… We have lots of different specialty units in every branch. I think Navy Seals are mentally taxing but I would never say that a seal is the most elite, I have met some very smart men from every branch, also very tough guys. Looking back I wouldn’t change a thing, I never wanted to be a seal (I am terrible at writing books which seals are famous for) while our special ops are very important so are other jobs (Cooks, Seamen, Communications, Corpsmen, etc.) it takes a lot of Logistics to actually win.

[@Killersam776]

There’s probably more navy seals than you’d think. There’s about 2500 of them. The most notable equivalent would probably be the army rangers, which there are over 3000. There’s also the green berets but they aren’t as “notable” as the rangers and have a different focus than standard warfare. However, there are 5 special units that stand above all the rest. The 2 most notable are delta force and what’s commonly called seal team 6. Delta force is the army’s most specialized unit. It’s mostly made up of the best rangers and green berets. Seal team 6 is the best 300 or so navy seals. It’s split up into 6 different teams with their own speciality. Washout rates for these groups is not publicly known but usually former members will say around 80-90% don’t make it.

Want to see a SEAL mission? The closest you are likely to get is watching the 2012 movie Act of Valor. You’ll be thinking “the acting could be better” until you realize these are actual SEALs who were ordered to take part in the movie (they all refused at first), so they look right and move right. One of the real rarities is they show a scene with live fire mini guns and it is damn impressive. Don’t get in the way of one of those.

Donut Operator was in the same BUDS class as Mr ballin. Mr Ballin completed training and was a seal, donut rang the bell. I honestly don't remember meeting a seal, I've met Green Berets, Marine Raiders (grandfather was an original Raider in 43), and AFSOC (my cousin's unit). My uncle trained with them, they gave him bodyguard detail so he was volunteered to be taught by seal instructors. He went on patrols with them in Beirut after the car bomb - they were down men and since he had trained with them they had a good idea how he'd react. So when the Admiral was in a secure facility he was given to the seal team for patrols.

(SDT) Naval Special Warfare Group 4: Special Boat Teams 12, 20, 22 (SWCC) Odd #'s on the East Coast and Even #'s on the West Coast. Each team has approx. 50 operators, broken down into individual squads of 16. These can be further broken down as the mission requires. Example- a 2 man sniper team may be attached to a regular Marine or even Army unit to provide "overwatch" while performing a mission. So 50 per team, that's approx 600, now add Special Warfare Center, higher command, and BUDs instructors and I'd guess close to 1000 total.

The two fingers that it blew off were the middle and index finger on his right hand, basically his trigger fingers, so he couldn't stay in the seals if he was no longer able to shoot properly.

He was in shape every single day of his life and also incredibly sweet his nickname was Opie if anybody’s familiar with the Andy Griffith show that Opie because he was funny, kind, didn’t drink, didn’t smoke, didn’t cheat on his wife, loved his parents, just an all-around American gorgeous guy never met anyone he couldn’t see the good in he was incredibly humble, super super smart, loyal, trustworthy, jumped out of airplanes into enemy territory he and his friends, would skydive in formation scuba dive, everywhere. He was our own Superman but again just the nicest, kindest, most humble guy you could ever meet oh, and he was an amazing shape and very handsome!!! He died way to young and the blue angels flew over is funeral service. Look them up. They are amazing. Bottom line. SEALS are amazing and I am so proud my brother was one of the best of the best. Only problem was all my friends had a crush on him before he got married. lol.

[@atlanticantiquesltd7372]

Sorry for your loss. Thank you to your brother and your family for his service

[@energyasylum997]

Incredible story about an incredible man! MAY HE REST IN PEACE. I’m sorry for your loss of your amazing brother. Thanks to your brother for his service. God bless America, protect our troops. 🙏✌️🇺🇸

[@trouble97018]

Ever heard of Jessica Buchanan? The team that rescue her was Seal Team Six.

[@tammyleatherman1897]

I live in an area near to where SEALs train. Training is brutal. Few make it. It takes a special breed of person to even attempt

[@susansoltys4874]

True they don’t get to sleep during whole week. They start hallucinating.

[@rossgadsby9663]

SEALs are not usually in two man groups btw. Idk why he said that but unless youre in like SEAL team 6 or sent as part of a detachment like in Africa in like 2012 two SEALs, 1 Green Beret, and 1 Airforce Pararescue guy were embedded with a local militia and ended up calling in Naval Gun fire on the Somalis lol

[@GentleRain21]

The Jessica Buchanan rescue by SealTeam 6 tells a little about the Seals. There is the 60 Minutes version of her side of it, and a separate video that tells more about the operation.

[@woahhbro2906]

My friend's sister married a Seal after she moved to San Diego. I met him one time when we all went drinking one night. Great guy and he had an impressive demeanor about him. He was like a Fortune 500 CEO in a 20 year old body or something.

[@smarttvhome335]

There's an incredible commencement speech video done at the University of Texas in 2014 from Admiral McRaven, who is a Navy SEAL. DEFINITELY give it a watch. He goes over some of his experiences in becoming a SEAL, and it's basically life-changing. It gives you an unbelievable respect for the Navy SEALs, and is limitlessly motivating. I really think you'll enjoy it quite a bit.

[@danieltroymont211]

I agree. It was Seal Team 6 that took out Bin Ladin. Movie ‘Zero Dark 30’ depicts that these elite warriors are Grace Under Fire. 🇺🇸

[@jmoon6909]

I remember seeing something about the physical training that the SEALS go through many years ago. I remember thinking that it doesn't even seem physically possible. Even if I had limitless willpower, my body would fail me anyway. The people who pass that training must be genetically gifted.

[@TrulyUnfortunate]

That 40 horse raft will haul ass with such a light boat!!!

[@AbruptandOffensive]

If you want to watch a Navy Seal mission, the closest thing you can come to is watching the movie “Act of Valor” which is a fictional movie using real active duty and retired Navy Seals as the actual Navy Seals. It gives a great idea of the type of mission sets they would be on plus you get to watch SWCC in action. Those are the River boats covered in machine guns and mini guns who hot extract (pick up Seals under fire) Seals when they need help near water

[@Redbikemaster]

My brother has gone through the Hell Week when he was training to be a SEAL. He's now in the Navy Air Rescue. He's another level of human lol. He burned so many calories a day during Hell Week that they literally cannot eat enough to replace them. He lost tens of pounds and started it in peak condition. He had a friend who broke his femur on the first day and RAN ON HIS BROKEN FEMUR FOR TWO DAYS until the Navy finally forced him to stop. After he completed it, he video called us. He was falling asleep while eating and his eyes were nearly swollen shut. They take several days to recover afterwards. It's brutal. He tried to get me to be a SWCC (the SEALs' Boat Guys) but I know my limits lol

[@AnubisRLDD]

Just for fun you should check out the Delta force. Its a special forces unit comprised of the special forces of all the branches.

[@so3683]

my nephew is becoming a seal right now, so proud but also scared

[@jeffcammack9733]

Best content by far on KZbin. I watch you every single day. Thank you!!

[@philstone3859]

There are movies about them. Zero Dark Thirty about the Bin Laden mission and Capitan Philips about his rescue from Somali pirates who captured his cargo ship. Those pirates had zero, and I mean zero chance of getting away with it. Very impressive stuff. It would be like an American Bald Eagle against a pigeon. ZERO chance. 🦅

[@davidnelson5728]

2,500 to 3,000 active navy seals at any given time. Navy seals are a tier 2 special forces. Seal team 6 or Devgru are the tier one unit that took out Osama Bin laden. So you have regular navy seals, then you have Devgru or seal team 6. Devgru would be the equivalent to your SAS. Also, Delta force the army's tier one unit is equivalent to your SAS.

[@JulieRedger]

⚓️⚓️⚓️ I grew up with a Navy Seal friend, that was like a brother to me. He knew a few of the Seals that were portrayed in the movies Act of Valor & Lone Survivor stories. There are not many Seals as it takes a very special feat to make it out of training. And they are on a whole different mental level than most. In honor of my friend/brother, Dean Silva, RIP “Frogman”, I miss you a lot. “Improvise, Adapt, & Overcome” was their motto … “Oorah”, “Oorah” their battle cry … Miss & love you Dean 😢⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️💔

[@centermass5330]

1:20 it’s usually 4 3/4 man teams anything any smaller is extremely dangerous look at lone survivor they work in 4 man teams and u would not believe the size force they could hold off

[@CanikFan]

You should watch the movie Lone Survivor & do a reaction video for it. There’s people on here that have done reaction videos to it that you can watch & get an idea of how to break it down to a 30-40 minute video. It’s a true story about 4 Navy SEALs that did a mission called operation Red Wings back in 2005. It’s one of my favorite military movies & one that I think you’d really enjoy watching. Also the movie 13 Hours. I’d also recommend watching the official music video from Five Finger Death Punch called Wrong Side of Heaven. That music video really gives you a picture of how our government treats our Vets that served & made so many sacrifices for our country only too return home & get shit on by the people that sent them into harms way.

[@dbagga]

That other channel, the new Zealand Family one, you've done videos from them before. They have one not too old. I think where they watched what exactly is involved in a navy seal training, including information about how many drop out and how many make it. Maybe that would be one of your next videos? Unfortunately, I don't know who made the original video, but I'm sure it would be easy to find it, I bet they posted the link to it in their video.

[@Ezewright]

Much respect to my military brethren. Thank for having my six.

[@josiahsmiddy1171]

If you’re curious what it takes to be a U.S. Navy SEAL, imagine the impossible then go about five steps past that. That is where you will find the SEALs. Rangers, Pararescue Jumpers, Force Reconnaissance, and Aviation Survival are to be found nearby.

[@PJ_2manyPams]

There are many more detailed videos about the actual training involved. The drop out rate is about 80-85% The deadliest weapon a Seal has is their mind. They train constantly as units. And when a specific mission is assigned they practice run that till all areas are covered. And then sometimes they kinda got to wing it. lol😅

[@Keeping_It_Wheel]

@L3wg you should watch the movie act of valor. It’s the closest thing you can find to actual real life missions by seals. And the actors are former seals

[@DashRiprock513]

Once again...... never mess with the boats.

[@BLINDxMUNKY]

Met a couple seals in my life so far, only thing I can say is... complete badass's

[@ladiwilliams9739]

Out of the whole thing I about died laughing when the automated voice called them a sqwad. Other than that, I don't know any Navy Seals meh but I do know a Green Beret and 2 pararescues

[@Lerch2000]

As far as how many there are, I honestly don't think anyone other than the brass of the military will ever know for sure due to the missions the seals carry out. How's that saying go? "I could tell you, but then I would have to shoot you", I think it falls along this line.

[@jadeh2699]

You can type in full Navy Seal Mission Video and watch footage of Seals in action on KZbin.

[@lumina1104]

As a Brit, one way you could get a loose view of the SEALs is as a blend of the SAS, SBS, and Royal Marines Commandos. Those 3 have cross-trained with the SEALs in the past and there have been influences interchanged; take what you need and leave the rest from all 4 groups.

[@franklobo2579]

There is several different teams of seals and can have 20 or more per team. Not all members go on every mission. Its very detailed in the mission. I believe that its less than 10 percent actually graduate. As for knowing a Seal ?? Most Seals will never make this public unless its very close family members. And they are sworn to secrecy. Your will never see Seal photographs showing their faces. They are literally machines.

[@bobboy5508]

Here’s another quick story or 2 for you. Seal team 6. The most notorious. They’re sent on the most clandestine missions. They’re the ones who killed Bin Laden. There’s another story that they rescued hostages in the middle of the dessert. Told by one of the hostages. They heard gunfire. Their captures ran out to action. In the end they were approached by some men. One hostage recalled asking what is going on. One of the men said we’re here to rescue you. She asked who are you. They replied seal team 6. You’re safe now. But we have to get going. This was the hostages account of what happened. You’ll never hear of it from our military or a Seal. Bad ass mFer’s

[@secretsquirrelgames]

"Does anybody watching this know a Navy SEAL?" Yes. Many.

[@DUANEWRIGHT-m9s]

We got SEALS.....the britts got SAS, they some badasses too
