The thing that distinguishes US Navy SEALS is NOT their physical condition. Many that drop out of SEAL Training are in as good or better shape. And SEALs are in great physical shape. The thing that sets them apart and what the trainers look for is the will to see the job done no matter the cost to themselves. The difference is all upstairs. That is what sets them apart from the rest.

I listened to an interview with a navy SEAL where he said everyone who he talked to in his platoon who passed reached a sort of transcendent state, where they were asleep, but still running, still holding the boats over their heads etc. The training is made to break you physically, and it will, the only thing that matters is your mental strength to carry on.

US had to acknowledged this during the Vietnam war.

[@conniead5206]

Brandon R Campbellenious is making a good point. A simple stomach growl is loud enough to giveaway your position. Bet stomachs used to getting no response to their growls just stop even trying. All that brawn requires more calories and water as well. Hunger denied gets painful. Not experienced it myself but have heard about it. A body used to getting by on less has adapted. The other thing you are not aware of is that the women are soldiers for 7 years as well. Training so hard and nutrition so bad that they usually stop having menses. The more elite serve in higher positions for 7 and 5 years respectively. So, our guys will have to see all women as professional soldiers as well. Even if they don’t have a gun. Don’t saber rattle. Why did we lose in Vietnam despite more and better weapons? Johnson and the brass underestimated the will and tenacity of the opponents. Kind of like the British did with the colonists that were determined to be free. If you go back into our history and look at the losses, not just the wins, you will get a better idea of reality. No matter how well trained and supplied you can lose because of decisions of the leaders. I hate war, but you don’t half ass it when you decide to send in the troops. Which is what we have mostly been doing. That would be the fault of past Presidents AND Congresses.

If I'm not mistaken that is just the selection process and only a few soldiers of each class make it to the seals. Where the real training begins which there are not videos for.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

The selection is the physical and mental hard part of these things, the "training" parts are things like what they need to know to act as the Medical specialist, signal specialist, etc. as well as all the other things each individual gets training on, but the selection is the part where they try to break them to see where their weaknesses lie then they build proficiency.

[@averellchen]

As many former Seals say, BUDs is 90% mental 10% physical. ofc you need to be strong but it's all meant to weed out the mentally weak and quitters. That's why they allow you to just get up and ring a bell and you get sent to an office with a warm cup of joe and a doughnut and you're out.

The US Navy SEALs are generally considered the most elite of the various special forces units. SEALs are trained for sea, paratroop, and land combat. The full SEAL training, before being eligible for active deployment, takes more than two years. It is the most rigorous and comprehensive special forces training in the US armed forces. Attrition rate is usually about 80%. That is, of the recruits who are accepted for SEAL training about 80% are unable to make it through the first year's intensive training.

My thighs used to rub together from running since I was so fit and it rashed them til they bled. Good times!

[@kc62301]

It's very cool that you had a video about SEAL training. For the record, the distinction between SEALs and Marines is important. I worked hard to become a Marine, and I want to be called a Marine (not a SEAL). Also, I have a lot of respect for SEALs. SEALs are special forces in the Navy. Their training is different, more extensive, and sometimes more difficult than Marine training. But Marines are just as tough in a fight.

[@TheGhostrider9667]

@Kelly Cookson Not looking to start a fight, and not taking anything away from you as a Marine, but Line USMC units are not in the same league as SEALS. You’re comparing a large, conventional force to a small, elite Special Operations Force. There is no comparison. Again, respect to the Corps, but Marines ain’t SEALS. Sorry. Force Recon? Okay. They’re in the same league. But not the Corps at large. Not even close. (Army Airborne/Ranger here, and I’ve worked/trained with all of ‘em.). I’ll give you this: as far as a large, conventional force, the Marine Corps is the best. But Spec Ops, they’re not.

Also, they only get 4 hours or less of sleep total in all five days of hell week, not every night. In hell week they don’t sleep at all for 5 days besides those 4 hours total or less

[@543soldier]

That's not true, Jocko Willink literally said they get 4 hours of sleep every night during hell week.

[@Zachomara]

@@543soldier It's a mandated minimum in the US military that you get 4 hours a sleep (obviously unless operations prohibit it due to enemy action). However, that number does not count fireguard, so I don't know if someone had to do fireguard, but they probably did since it's a TRADOC thing (although I think TRADOC is Army), meaning about 3 hours a night of sleep.

[@ardnaif552]

@Xelbayria You can survive for 11 days without sleep, but you would start to hallucinate LONG before that, and I can't really see someone hallucinating from lack of sleep being a very effective soldier.

[@TheGhostrider9667]

@Ryan A's Here’s the deal: When you’re “Admin”, sleeping in barracks, like Hell Week, you pretty much get the four hours a night. Which is minimal when you’re working that hard. But when you’re tactical, you get what you get, and you like it. In Ranger School, we might not sleep for three days on an operation. Over the course, you average about four hours a night, but it’s not predictable. Sleep deprivation is a huge part of this type of training, along with food deprivation. When I went through, we got one MRE a day. That’s maybe 1/3 of the calories you’re burning. I run about 180# normally. I lost 40# in RangerSchool. Everyone looks like skeleton. In later years, they realized that we were literally autodigesting, and so now, Ranger students get TWO MREs a day. Pansies. (just kidding). But they do get two a day now. I don’t know if SEAL training includes starvation, somebody can jump in who knows. But the training is made exponentially harder by depriving students of two of their most basic survival needs: food and sleep. Hallucinations are ever-present for yourself, and your buddies. I’ve seen guys risk their entire careers, their Ranger tab, everything for an extra bite or two of food. When you’re hungry enough, you will eat just about anything. Leaves, garbage, insects, raw snakes - you name it. That kind of ‘basic needs’ stress in training simulates the ‘imminent death’ stress of combat. And it is very effective.

[@Evan_Case]

@Xelbayria You're completely incorrect. I have no idea where you got that information but it's bogus. Hallucinations start specofically and strictly because of a lack of sleep in cases of sleep deprivation. No external illness required.

As an American I think it’s kinda funny that they keep saying the training is too harsh, and yes it is VERY HARSH, but these are THE Navy Seals. They are the most intense and hardcore people in our country and the training they receive is so harsh because those are the situations they are constantly being put in. 4 hours of sleep can be a luxury during some deployments these men go on to experience the most unimaginable horrors.

[@johnellis4330]

Navy SEALs are not “Army.” They’re NAVY. American military branches are distinct, but sometimes have “joint operations” and even bases (as a budgetary cost savings). Distinct services are Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. We’re now forming a “Space Force,” as well, but it’s currently a command sub-branch of the USAF... much like the Army Air Corps was before the Air Force became a separate entity... FYI I served 25-yrs on active duty and would do it all again - only better! There was a time when our forces had difficulty in exercising joint operations, but that was an issue with Command-level coordination. We’ve since resolved a “unity of Command” issue and one of empowering ground ops at a lower level to improve execution of battle plans. Bottom line: our military continues to grow, advance, and improve. We have to fight against the impulses to create a PC correct fighting force... something that currently creates problems and degrades effectiveness.
