Inside the Minds of Operators

I think its extremely beneficial and important to hear someone like DJ say that he was intimidated by other peers or has struggled qith mental health I genuinely believe its like well actually his favourite quote: its ok to not be ok

[@nasty.habits]

He didn't say he was intimidated, he just said there were some scary fuxkin rowdy guys. Being afraid does not = intimidated.

[@noyea1709]

​@@nasty.habitshe said he was afraid right at the beginning. Try to pay attention

[@ajcosson1370]

Amen

[@dustinsmith4068]

@@nasty.habitsBeing intimidated, having anxiety, or fear, are all the same emotions to me.

SOF operators are trained serial killers. The difference is that they have an off/on switch. Some have a hard time turning it off and will volunteer to back into combat.

[@DavidLockhart-y9l]

Any military person that seen combat,don't mess with them. They go from 0 to 200 in a second.

[@DavidxWebb]

Great question

[@ajcosson1370]

Very good query

"Leave that job on a Tuesday, walk into the UFC do extremely well" **Sean Strickland has joined the chat**

[@glenndlr2935]

We didn't talk about it but most like me, from a broken home.

[@Giiiiiiiooooooooo]

It would be interesting to hear stories from DJ about who were those seals that made him paranoid

[@shawnsanchez2791]

Is there anyway to just watch this dude talking about shit he's been through ? Podcast ? He was amazing on Shawn Ryan Podcast !!

[@RichardBaxendale]

There's definitely a lot of people out there that are very skilled & can go from 0-100 real quick depending on the situation, thank God for getting older.

[@dustinsharpnack7225]

Jake Zweig said something similar about special ops guys, “ you’re managing serial killers.” Just glad they’re on my side!

[@FishingUnchartered]

It’s so mind boggling to me that a human who has the capability to control themselves enough to become an elite warrior but can also so volatile, unstable and unpredictable . How does that even work? Human beings are so complex.

[@oneballwizard406]

I agree. What you gotta realize is they are around a bunch of other dudes who are either the exact same way, or so calm they don't give a fuck, and leaders like Jocko who are good at dealing with it. My dad was on a nuclear sub and got into several fist fights with subordinates, on and off his boat

[@FishingUnchartered]

@ I appreciate this insight. God bless your dad, too, for helping to keep us safe 🇺🇸.

[@thomasballard357]

I think the last seal who tried to walk into the UFC disprove that.

[@waingrobro]

meh, Tim Kennedy wasn't tier 1 and he did well in the UFC. Even between deployments lol. I think you dont know wtf ur talkin about bub.

[@thomasballard357]

@waingrobro Not talking about Tim Kennedy so I Know you don't know WTF you're talking about

[@waingrobro]

@ I know Tim is a GB and not a seal bud. I get it. The point is, Tim isn't even a devgru operator. There is a bit of a difference. But, did Tim in his prime have the physical capability to maybe pass a tier 1 selection? Probably. The mental capability and persona they are looking for? Probably not.

[@Pastor_Chief]

What’s this guys name? He looks like a Tim to me

[@hotbello0071]

Its DJ Shipley! His family is legendary within the community. His father Don Shipley has his own channel as well

Fuxkin A. I know some. Some dudes who had wanted to sign up but caught a charge over something and at that time the Army and Marines didn't do the jail or join thing going on. They'd try and help get your case dropped or minimizef but.. it is what it is.

[@nasty.habits]

Oh also.. idk what your fam is like, but my grandpa who was SF in Vietnam down to my uncles have that just ultra violent mode that can open up, and it passed down even to my brothers and i... it's a thing you have or u dont..

[@512.Outdoors]

I call bullshit on one part. As someone who’s kickboxer for years, seals would all get mopped in the UFC if they just “up and left the job to do it” they would be able to hang after a couple years of training but to pretend they can just drop their shit and take on a world class fighter is comical.

[@mikefitzpatrick43]

Your taking it the wrong way he didn't mean they could just step right in without training etc I mean most with sense no this. He's just saying they have what it takes to become one because the one thing they understand is violence on a whole other level. Most people don't understand what real violence is

[@512.Outdoors]

@ his words were they could drop their occupation and do extremely well right now. That is not true. And you know that

[@mikefitzpatrick43]

@512.Outdoors that makes no damn sense honestly I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt that he's saying they can become good ufc fighters and how do we no some of them haven't trained. Technically we're both just assuming

[@512.Outdoors]

@ I’m telling you a world class mma fighter mops the floor w these dudes in a fist fight. I promise.

[@GBRSGroup]

You've got the most logical assumption. To be a really good fighter, we'd have to train hard just like in the teams. No one just walks into a job and kick ass from the get go. You've got to follow the progression. We've been talking about progression and becoming 1% everyday for a few years now.

[@troll_boii3009]

They definitely could not walk in the ufc and do well

[@joshualittle877]

There are former Seals in the UFC. That do well. Tim Kennedy for all his BS did pretty damn good in the UFC he won 18 of his 24 Pro fights. There are at least 3 Navy SEALs fighting in the UFC currently.

[@joshualittle877]

Tim Kennedy was a Green Beret

[@bradh-wc6sp]

I’m sorry but there’s no Devgru guys leaving on a Monday and walking into UFC on a Tuesday 😂 We get it, you guys are beasts at what you do but please have respect for other professions

[@TristanGoingNorth]

I'm pretty sure Sean Strickland proved just how well SEALs would do in the UFC lol

[@CabinRidge]

Such an ignorant comment.

[@TristanGoingNorth]

@ could they have the drive and work ethic to be a good fighter? Yes. But their current training is not adapted to fight 1-on-1 in an octagon.

[@designpatterns8168]

That's a pretty dumb thing to say. One guy sparring with Sean Strickland doesnt represent the entire seal community, DJ is talking about a couple of guys here and there who he thinks could cross over

[@JoshuaBunkowske]

@@designpatterns8168exactly

[@JoshuaBunkowske]

@@TristanGoingNorthYes, but some Seals train MMA pretty seriously

[@Cam-lt9nv]

So silly to say they would walk into ufc and do extremely well. That’s like saying a ufc fighter could walk into dam neck and do extremely well.

[@James_Edward59]

That is the worst comparison ever, many Development guys grew up in combat sports and train weekly because it is part of their job not to mention they are the most fit guys around however there are no guys period in the UFC training like Development guys. Tim Kennedy wasn’t a Tier 1 guy but he was SF and he was able to do it, that’s enough proof alone.

[@coryhatch2953]

Like you would know!!!

[@Cam-lt9nv]

You can’t walk into a professional sport and do well. This is the problem with the suck-a-seal community. You discredit how impressive tier one guys are by saying stupid stuff. If I grew up shooting and I go to the range once a week, can I run the kill house with red? No. Because that’s what those guys do full time. They’re professionals. The same is true in any sport. If you grew up wrestling and you wrestle once a week you can’t walk into Penn state and be competitive. Let them be heroes and the best in their field without this super hero simping BS. You’re embarrassing yourself

[@renatolaranja52]

​@@James_Edward59 bs, nobody in Dev is training like people that fight in the UFC. Tim kennedy is a stupid example, he was already one of the best fighters in the US

[@jeremiahwilson1255]

Their ego is at an 8 or 9 reality Will check em harder than Strickland did 💯

[@legendfy9093]

Facts. I do BJJ in VB and have come across a handful of team guys over the years who DJ exactly describes. Some come back but most don't, same goes for LEOs. At an Amateur level have at it but no way in hell are you taking a guy like Strickland or any pro in a cage who sleeps and trains MMA professionally.

[@timothyAreeves]

Sean is a top 10 fighter. He wasn't referring to that

[@timothyAreeves]

​@@legendfy9093Strickland is a different story - he's in the top 10.

Never been a Navy SEAL hold a Championship in any MMA, Boxing or any of them. They are too Crazy. Even Tim Kennedy SF was a washout and got his ass beat.

[@LK-bz9sk]

But TK can throw a grenade better than anyone. So theres always that.

[@vicdiaz5180]

Tim Kennedy drinks, soy milk. But I truly believe there are some people not only in seals, but in special forces in general that will decimate in UFC.

​@@vicdiaz5180😂 ahahaha

[@SteveL.-ih3dc]

Everyone shits on Kennedy for things he may or may not have said. Imagine being a top-tier guy? You must feel so invincible. You'd almost need new doorways for the egos. He did very well in the UFC and got robbed in the Yoel Romero fight. He is most certainly not a washout.
