How To Prepare For BUD/S Navy SEAL Training | Part 1 Mindset

[@ActualSighs]

I was in the Navy. Not a SEAL. I still say that most of this holds true. I saw sooo many cheating spouses, divorces, and craziness with relationships. I knew early on, that having a girlfriend or a wife while enlisted was not a good idea.

[@Isaac-dt4iv]

@@Anonymous18817 Well first of all, what is your 'why?' You must be doing it for the right reasons.

[@micclay]

I knew this when a guy who was in army boot camp and his girl was at my apartment looking for love. I'm from a Navy town and Navy wives were known to be easy. So yes, millitary men very often get bottom of the barrel women. I think the millitary encourages it, by giving apartments and housing allowances to married men while forcing single guys to live in a barracks and eat galley food. They just marry the 1st one that's willing to, so they can get off the base.

[@davidrobertson4332]

I was in the Navy and "lived" on the two ships I served on cause I was not married. @@micclay

[@davidrobertson4332]

I was in the Navy as well for six years, served two warships and "lived" on the entire time underway or in port because I was not married. I would NEVER advise anyone to get married while in the Navy it will most likely end in divorce or other trouble. Its not "the Navy" that causes the issues it just the amount of time away and most people are young, stay single till you get out. As far as having a GF try not to fall in love or have kids togther you will not want those ties when it comes to end. I went on three major deployments at sea and saw plenty of dear john letters and missing loved ones on the pier when we got back.

[@Zachary_333]

Yeah i wont be getting serious while im in.

[@KillerKev1961]

I had a very similar mindset when I joined the Marine Corps. My goal was to fly attack jets F-4s and later F/A-18s. What sealed my determination was my father telling me I was crazy, I’d never ever make it. He cried like a baby when I made it.

[@colectiv77]

I wish I had this advice back in the day. I was prepared in every other way but this. Because of this, I've lived behind enemy lines since my daughter was born. I agree 1000%. Ditch everything. Nothing else exists. The Trident is all or nothing. You are not special. You are not the exception. You earned it or you didn't. I failed.

[@drew8979]

Dude, you're absolutely right about the marriage and GF thing. I'm not an operator, but I knew a guy who went to PJ Indoc who told me this kid quit at week 7 because his GF was going to leave him. The kid was on track to graduate and even the instructors tried to talk him out of it. Guess what happened, his GF left him anyway. He gave up on his dream because he didn't see the big picture. I would say that if you're going to join the military don't get married period. I saw so much infidelity on active duty that I'm glad I stayed single for all four years.

[@davids11131113]

Week 7 though….you still got a hell of a long damn way to go before you’re a SEAL, even if you make it fully and get on a team a lot of guys get washed out of there.

Idk about the navy in general.. that lifestyle is easy as fuck. It’s doing special operations that demands everything of you

[@faustinreeder1075]

I left the navy after my enlistment ended because all I did was clean the engine room everyday. I resented it. Why did I go to sub school, A school, and C school so I could wipe down the engine room everyday for three hours. Our Captain and the ward room treated all blue shirts like garbage. And then seemed offended that I refused to sign up for another six years of abuse.

[@The2Era]

I just turned 20 years old in July and I’m currently working as a millwright traveling making a lot of money.

Wise advice, before leaving for marine boot in 1994 I broke up with my girlfriend (got a couple nasty letters during boot) and gave my junky car, everything, to my little brother. Had no plan B either. Never got married during my enlistment (being stationed in the desert of 29 Palms between deployments helped), marriage was HIGHLY discouraged for anyone below a staff NCO. Minimizing complications helps with focus.

[@NomadHorizon]

Heres the dilema i fond my self, im a supposed perfect fit for seals. I have no relationships, i own very little, im not sure how my plan A is working out, and i find my plan B wanting to be a seal. I want civilian life to work for me, i want to be wealthy, have a woman, have kids. But in my 23 years of life, i find myself unsucessful in those things. Ive always thought about being a seal, about how i would have a purpose finally. I sit here now looking at the scope of a civilian life, and the scope doesnt look good. But neither does being bossed around by a corrupt government. I guess the benefit is they train and pay me to be one of the deadliest weapons on the planet. I feel like my mind is already made up, but at the same time i feel like its not. I know i have what it takes to be seal, my mind is there already, but i dont know if i have what it takes to be a star citizen(no pun intended for those who know). My biggest thing id leave behind if i became a seal is my videogames, they are the grease for the ever turning cogs in my head. But maybe being out where i feel i really belong will grease the gears. My goal in life already is to be prepared for anything, and be the deadliest person in the room. Bud/s would give that to me.

NONE of these people would risk their own lives or livelihood to save anybody or anything. Many are hypochondriacs as well and just have poor work ethics. That's why they aren't the one with the guns IN THE BUILDING and I am handpicked by top management and the CEO because they have access to my past and files.
