BUDS 234: Navy Seal Selection (Marine Reacts)

[@geoffreydesi8944]

My friend was in this class! His name was Edward Austin Koth. He rang the bell on Monday of Hell Week. He went onto Naval EOD and was killed in Iraq while attached to the 75th ranger rgmt. onJuly 26, 2006. God bless you, Austin! I miss you so much and I know we will one day meet again buddy.

[@JR-ke9lm]

Was he in shape ?

[@dirkdehosson6467]

I was researching Class 234 snd Koth was pretty amazing.. went to U of Maryland and was a competitive diver... left Buds but became Eod, which is just as hard... he's a hero

[@geoffreydesi8944]

Dirk De hosson thank you for your kind words. His mom was my Morality teacher at Calvert Hall High School where Austin and I attended and they were just some of the greatest people I know. His Brother still teaches at our old High School and Austin was actually training to run a marathon between his 18 hour missions to find roadside bombs. That means a lot to me that you took the time to research him. Thanks for keeping his memory alive!

[@geoffreydesi8944]

Josh Rodriguez he was incredible shape. He was in episode 2 and 5 and when they interviewed him in the second episode it was because his boat crew came in first. Episode 5 was when he told the instructors he was done. he went to Florida to train as a Naval EOD which is another very difficult school to complete.

[@geoffreydesi8944]

I just found this out! Here is a clip from an article I just read about Austin and I think this is so cool: “Koth made such an impression on the [dolphin] trainers that they wanted to honor him in some way," said Cmdr. Jon Wood of Naval Special Clearance Team One. The 1-year-old calf's name is Austin. They named a dolphin after him! I’m tearing up as I write this because he was such an amazing guy and I am glad other people saw his talents as well. Austin died doing what he loved to do, helping out others.

4:00 - I've watched the series. They point out, at this stage, it's about trying to get the candidates to question their motivation, to get the candidates to question if they really want to be there, to see if they can crack their commitment. The PT is just a tool to do that, it's not about the fitness; most of them are stupid fit already. If the whole class shows up able to knock out 300 flawless pushups, the instructors aren't going to be like "Alright cool, you guys all passed;" they're going to make them do 400...then 500. It's about reaching that limit and seeing who has the commitment to push through that.

When I was in the best shape of my life in Highschool I ran a 4 minute 59 second mile and I ran 3 miles in 18 Minutes 58 Seconds. To run 4 miles on sand in pants and boots In 32 minutes is very difficult especially if these guys don't run everyday. If your not in the best shape of your life, It must be almost impossible to pass this training.

[@ixisnowixi]

You can goto courses leading up to it. Like for Ranger you can goto Pre Ranger which is 2 weeks of just PT and Eating. And you can recycle 3 or 4 times through it before you go if you want. Our unit had SF PT, which is a separate PT you goto in the morning ran by the Branch Green Beret Recruiter. Its 120 minutes of brutality. You dont goto Buds out of shape. You have to want it. Former Ranger. I went through Basic, Airborne hold, Airborne, Pre Ranger(twice), RIP hold(brutal PT), RIP, Then to bat, after 2 years i got to goto Ranger School. After that I went down to a regular Unit for injury. But ultimately you get out what you put in. During my time at Bat i got to goto MANY schools between deployments like Air Assault, Optics and Several levels of Mount training. Youll goto several Ranger level courses that are required by battalion. Eventually youll goto Path Finder and Master Jumper. It was and wasnt for me. Bat was cool, but maintaining my family was hard with 6 month cycle, deployments and schools. Once i went to a regular infantry unit, i shined.

[@Stangleripkis]

Doesnt matter who you are or the shape you're in you will suffer. Its all mental fortitude.

[@staypositive4358]

The problem is not the running itself. The problem is that they are in constant motion and training for days on end. They don't need to run at your high school pace but they need to have the endurance to complete the run plus a myriad of other exercises and little rest.

[@allieversaid]

Yes sir. But the thing this training teaches is at your peak physical your still at a bottom step. The human body in theory can be as strong as it needs to be. Our muscle structure is designed to bear what we are strong enough to bear. A conditioned person should be able to march and run almost continuous. Profound fundamentals.

More 234 Please! I got to meet some UDT Seal Instructors when I lived in Encinitas, CA. They were taking a course in Corrective Exercise at the CHEK Institute where I worked at. I was so impressed by these guys. Their amazing. I asked them what body type or physical characteristics people pass BUDS. They said they had all kinds of Body types. From big bodybuilders to skinnier guys. The main factor that they all SEALS possess was Mental Fortitude and Toughness. Looking forward to more Class 234!

[@staypositive4358]

I served in the USMC as well and I had the pleasure to visit Coronado, CA do some of our own training. This was over 20 years ago and I recall watching these guys running in full gear on the beach, boots and all, and there was a white pick up truck with their drill sergeant screaming at them from a loud speaker. The drill sergeant was telling them they are probably not going to make it and they should just quit. As a US Marine I found it incredibly degrading and it was a sharp contrast from our culture in the Marines where we do talk a lot of trash but not in such a demoralizing way. Lots of respect for these guys as in my best shape I'm not sure that I could make their training. They are extremely tough guys.

[@knightlife98]

I liked what the Instructor said around @3:25, "..... don't give into the pain, you adjust for it!".

[@r.b.ratieta6111]

I remember watching an interview where a SEAL commander said that BUDS is 10% physical, 90% mental. Paraphrased, he said: "Everybody starts out in tip top shape. Each person that enters has the capacity to pass BUDS. But it isn't until you put them through the gauntlet that you see who's there MENTALLY. Only those who have the proper MENTAL makeup will make it through BUDS."

[@Lindsey0007]

I’m a woman so I don’t think I qualify anyway but I have so much anxiety and depression and ADHD and PTSD (not from combat from sexual assault) I don’t think I would be able to pass no matter how good of shape I’m in because of my neurotic nature. I have so much respect for these men because they’re not only putting their lives on the line, in tremendous physical shape, but are able to remain calm under pressure, a skill I need to work on since I can’t even stay calm when I’m not under pressure and overthink myself into a corner.

this documentary was about a class that graduated BUD/S in June 2001. I think since 2008 the Navy has put all the Special Warfare contract recruits (EOD, SEAL, SB) into the same division at boot camp. They train together at boot camp for 8 weeks, culminating in a PST. If they pass, they get to BUD/S (for the SEAL candidates anyway).

Garbage. Just gotta work at it.

9:55 - My guess is that self conditioning is common knowledge in the community and the idea is to train as close to the real thing as possible. My cousin and his best friend attempted BUD/s awhile back and asked me to train with them as they prepped for Coronado. I was blown away by the attrition intensity in our workouts (e.g. pull up contests at the playground, etc.) and I agree with Instructors Taylor & Patstone, self-motivation is absolutely critical for success. You should definitely react to Episodes 2-6 of Class 234.

[@SilverHwk7]

11:10 - I'm 90% certain this is one of the few courses in the Navy or in the entire military that you can drop from and suffer zero administrative or career penalty. From what I've seen in the documentary, the instructor staff doesn't make a point of belittling anyone who drops; instead they're more like "Alright, good luck" and they move on. I mean, you have to be a special kind of full of yourself to make fun of someone who falls out of SEAL training.

Got to go to Coronado for the amphib course. During our down time we watched the Bud/s go thru their hell week. we watched a full size platoon or 'class' between about 60 guys dwindle to about 12. the ratio was about one instructor for every two candidates. We would hear the bell go off constantly. Instead of hitting the E club, we sat outside at, 2100 on, to just listen. Or if they were close enough, sit on the berm and watch. The only time they weren't messed with was chow time. But someone had to "stand watch" over the I.B.S. with an oar. Me and my gun team leader pretended to trash(me) next to him as we asked questions and encouraged motivation, that he was almost to the end of hell week. But apparently during IBS night navigation ops, they got lost, and instructors left them out in the ocean to paddle around until morning. This was November, they only wore the green satee and a mae west jacket. He was shivering the hole time but was greatfull for encouragement. That was 1988

When I got out of Marine Corps boot camp in 1982 I thought I was in superb physical condition but to be honest I don't know if I could do what they're doing because we all have our limitations and I wasn't very good at pull ups so I probably couldn't have done the bar exercise where you push up and down but that's one part of my body that has never ever really developed well even though I lifted weights and tried to develop that area of my body. Not everyone is equipped to be a special operator that's why you have to have the best and those with the strongest Minds. I did have a strong mind because there was so many times I wanted to quit in boot camp but I kept telling myself just keep going and I did especially during the summer because it got really hot and humid but I was use to that being I grew up on the Florida Gulf Coast. My hats off to any Navy SEAL and any Marine Recon or Army Ranger or any other special operator that I have left off which are a few. They go beyond what many of us have already had in regular Boot Camp and they are able to refine what they are and are able to do things that others cannot accomplish.

13:40 Isn't Morgan the brother of Marcus Luttrell? Thought david Goggins mentioned that he was on jump school with Morgan who was marcus brother when he found out operation red wings went bad? Might be wrong it was a a long time ago when I listened to the podcast. I think it was on rich rolls podcast.

Ah. Good point.

Instructor: "We got you wet and sandy" Soldier: "You did? Where is she?!" Huge chance missed there.

JT, 3:37 ... remember the Danish guys, going Heavy... On the core stamina endurance training? This "issue" might be what they were focusing in on.

[@raydeelena6385]

More 234.

[@ethicalcheeze1407]

Seconded

These videos are educational man,it feels like your watching it with friends

[@texastoast2961]

Much respect to the Marine critique’ing this but he needs to remember, hell week and Buds training is immeasurably more difficult than becoming an average marine. No comparison at all. Add in the water/cold component and you have another aspect of seal training that the average Marine would not measure up to. These are elite warriors that go though 18 months of training before they even get assigned to a Team as a rookie. Marine training looks like a softball match by comparison

[@dannydavis7791]

That drill instructors voice reminds me of the drill instructor from the beginning of a movie called American sniper where it showed actual footage of navy seal training or bootcamp

That’s him bro that’s from this , damn good movie , GOD BLESS CHRIS KYLE 🙏✝️❤️🇺🇸😇IN JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏✝️❤️🇺🇸🤩😇

9:50 No one in BUD/S is out of shape, because the physical screening test is the first hurdle. Then is the indoctrination period. Most will not pass the screening, and many will drop out during indoc. Everyone in BUD/S is a great athlete already, you cant get there without being one. Thats why they say BUD/S is 90% mental. Because to even get there, youre provedly in great physical shape. Though to be fair, perhaps the standards for entry were lower back in those days. But nowadays the guys in BUD/S are in tip top shape from the start.

[@muriloninja]

You need to remember that at this time, there was no BUD/s Prep. It was old school screening test, get your orders, report to BUD/s.

Lets see more 234! I’ve considered being a Navy Seal before but I’m deciding to go Army Rangers. I ship August 24th to basic training! Looking forward to training!

2:33 I thought that dude was balding with gray hair and a gray beard. I was thinking how is a 70 year old in Navy Seal Training?

[@mofo7689]

I see this mentality in the gym all the time. It is easy to spot who defines themselves by their fitness level. I spent the better part of my entire career ensuring I was well rounded for this reason alone.

[@mightydreamer2893]

As someone who is on the base for the prebuds prep they do a lot of stuff that I’d say prepares you. Pt at 04 and walking every where in base with a full sea bag. Like everyone says it’s all mental

"If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying." That's the first time I've heard that, and now I feel justified for cheating during ITE at RTC.

[@americasdream1265]

In Navy bootcamp at Great Lakes the prospective SEALs go to squadron 800 where it is meant to build up for buds fitness however those first days of BUDs is above anything at squadron 800, it is a shock to your system to have a instructor in your face spraying you with cold water and if you don't man up and refuse to quit they will break you.

[@baconknightt]

Does anyone think they put a few "quitters" in to ring the bell on purpose? As a mental game?

When I was down in FL once not too long ago to catch up with some/college/Army BUDS, pun intended. It was my turn to get the beers, I see this guy, looked about in his late thirties, with fucking Kermit the frog with tactical gear, holding Poseidon's trident, and an anchor on the back ground. There was the heads of UBL, Hussein and his two sons, Hitler, and some others I didn't recognize. It was busy, but could hear him speak. While I waited, I asked, "Frogman huh." He replied "Yes, sir, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria..." He was not in uniform, but did have several red flags. I said "I don't if I could complete BUD's training, what class where you in." Then he replied. .. ..."234." My beers arrive. I replied, "Man the dudes who graduated got invited to the White House." Hahaha. He replied "Yes, we were. We met various members of CLINTON's cabinet members, the director of the CIA, JCS, and old other old school SEALs. Army boy?" Yes, he was a wide dude, white hair starting to grow. I told him, "class 234 graduated on June of 2001, just, fyi, have a god one" My BUD's were watching me, asked Stolen Valor, I replied "No, just somebody who wanted but never actually tried." You are right Marine, some men, and women, who look weak at first, something in them came out to be true soldiers.

[@chrismc410]

What if they bring back the old "military or jail" choice for minor disciplinary issues: BUD/S or the Brig?
