[@DW-lw3hg]

@jakezweig Let me just say that operators like you, David Goggans and the few others that represent our small minority in special operations give all of us young guys the motivation and example to keep pushing. I’m only 33 now but I spent 6 years in SWCC before I was medically discharged and of the 800 or so SWCC operators I was one of only 26 African Americans on active duty during my time. Although times have changed there is most DEFINITELY still a stigma against blacks in Special operations especially when it comes to the Seals or SWCC. There’s a lot of stereotyping and almost distrust for us which means we have to go even further and beyond to prove ourselves. But we did it, thanks for helping pave the way!! “On time, on target, NEVER quit”

[@jakezweig]

The X is all that matters thanks for the boat rides!!!!

[@saucejohnson9862]

You two need to reach out to black teenagers. Sadly all my black friends were influenced by the movie, "Boyz N Tha Hood" where they say "Black men ain't got no place in the army.", which is fucking bullshit. Now the youth is idolizing instagram rappers who get murdered. You guys have an opportunity to make a difference in many young kids' lives. Special Forces isn't some, "white people shit", take advantage now that you two are out, talk to high schools, you'd be surprised how much a simple 40 minute speech can influence.

Sir, you have my upmost respect to come out on top with everything working against you. What really hit home in this video and what I can relate to is when you said about the other guys can fail a section and be ok, but you weren’t playing under those same rules. This exactly how I felt during my years at UGA College of Pharmacy as one of only 2 African American males in my class of 140.

Man, I'm glad i got to hear this speech. Really puts life into perspective to understand no matter how hard someone tries to break you, you are the only one in control of your Destiny. Sleeping outside in your underwear for 5 fucking days? Mentally they went to the extreme to break you. I spent 2 years of literally every waking moment of my life trying to join the Army. 265 pounds, criminal record, traffic record, and at 29 years of age. I trained 7 days a week, went to MEPs more times than i can count, interview with a company commander and battalion commander, psychological evaluation, moral wavier, and starved myself and dehydrated myself for days and weeks at a time. Wavier went up to USAREC to a 1 star general in October 2016 and was disapproved. Than march 2017 i tried again with our new Commander and Chief. Enlisted as 11X 11X March 2017. Bitter sweet unfortunately I was medically Discharged and that followed up with kidney problems and ankle surgery. But, this moment right now I am Training to join by july. This speech allowed me to understand its not about the past or your failures, its about your preparation and your will to never quit on yourself.

Great video. Came here from your interview with Lively which was superb. Knew of him and Class 234 since watching the documentary back in 2007. I had not had the privilege of "knowing' you until "meeting" you in the interview.👍🏿. As a 75 year old vet, when we grew up, back in the day, we were told from the earliest, to always do 110%. It was teaching moment, said for a reason. by our elders, who may have had less education than we did, but understood the value of education and working hard, if not in fact harder, than our white counter parts. That is stated as a fact of life not a statement of victimhood. THIS is not a bad world we live in and there are a lot of us damn good people of all shapes, sizes, descriptions and colors in it. Be it in the military or in the world, It just that there are some knuckleheads who have a perspective on life that no legislation can change what is in their hearts and souls. Sometimes the best payback is not kicking someone else's ass, physically, but kicking their ass by being 400%[better] prepared and leaving them sitting in their quicksand of ignorance and being unprepared. Now I'm gonna retire my podium, lol. Thank you sir, and keep up the great work. E-7 USAR, Ret

I am thankful my son sent this to me. I have always felt that my son could have gone further N the marines he had so much potential to be his best. I am not saying this because I am his mom. I say this because of what I witness he had a curve in his spine he has proven to himself just how important his growth to himself as a man. People with titles in the jobs he worked and the military have looked at him because of his quirkiness he used to be a bookworm. He’s a wonderful writer, and he has a strong gutsy sense of life and people. N because of his communication skills some people have looked at him. It’s being arrogant when he’s not some people have been quick to pass judgment on him, and a lot of people have not been in his corner in a positive ways for him to be able to elevate up that ladder. Some of the people in the military will titles have put him in a position to train others into elevate them, but never heal. Can you imagine a disappointment as a parent when you know your child’s potential but he’s being used to elevate someone else, and the people who assigned the jobs to him, knew this And they fell short and a disappointment to our country for not utilizing all of the young man of color who is in the kitchen, cooking meals. And because of that, the Marines lost a lot of good men that they could have caught a strong niche within the black community of strong men serving in America, but I know people don’t wanna believe and understand that even Black people who have titles in above others they are the main ones who keep Men and women of color in a certain category S if only once you go up that category so watching this and looking at this young man I’m very proud of what he is saying, but I do know every military branch should have done better by the people who put their lives on the live to serve in America My son to me N others will always be A positive nature he is just a well-rounded individual who has had trials and mishaps but still he stands strong, and I have always felt that he has not gotten his do based on him being quiet and observant and a person of honor honest and humble and trustworthy as a young man of principle, and willing to talk up for people who voices are not hurt. Please don’t take the statement as if I’m putting my son on a pedestal. No he’s not on the pedestal. He had it since he made his mistakes but when I basically said that when you have a young man of color who joins the military? They are treated so poorly so mishandled when they come through the door with skills because of parents like me. You’re some of the toughest men on earth and willing to meet the challenge. My son is not called T.I.M.for nothing. He is incredible to me and his family and other. His sister called him TAZ.

Thank you

Jake Zweig, yeah, man. The squadron I was attached to flew a lot of the platoons around on training missions back in the early ‘90’s. Mostly it was guys from ST5. From up in Fallon, NV; down in Niland, CA; up in Montana (that was a good one. Discovery channel was filming echo platoon SEAL Team 5 guys); Cobra Gold 1993 in Thailand was good. SEALs marked their van saying they were Navy Band. Funny.

Mkaaaaay

[@dharper3619]

The De-Con story- was the best- I was crying! "You got hotter!" They might of check you and found out you were a mutant of some sort! And the Frog Hill story is #2~. Your stories are EPIC! Did that instructor that you mentioned, try to fight you close to the end of BUDs training? It sounded like the powers that be- didn't want you to complete BUDs. But the stories and your experience, that's for sharing! Can you speak on how many black officers are in the Seal community now? still under 20?

[@jakezweig]

There has been 17 ever ... no he did not get froggie

[@offthegrid5078]

Love the video. Love your energy. The shit in military bring all involved closer because we all go through the same shit together. Bring your brothers up when they are down and they bring you up when you're down. Love my dudes race was never an issue with us. I am closer to those guys than any family member.

[@jakezweig]

Thank you for the support

@@jakezweig Good morning. Responding from Good Ole Washington state just outside of America lake VA. I saw a video where you said you had stem cell injections into your shoulders and they helped. I was an EOD tech with 16yrs and was medically retired from the army in 2015. I was told that I also needed shoulder replacement. However I had already had 2 shoulder reconstructions and full knee replacement at 44. My shoulder surgeries where the worst to recover from. I really want to avoid replacement. When I heard you talk about stem cell injections and how much it helped. I was wondering if it would be possible to get some information on it from you? Love how you give the down low on the military and how difficult special operations are, to young people thinking about joining the military.

Really you must not have been there at any point. I fail zero things.... keep spreading the love....people are always getting help

[@jakezweig]

Better question have you ever been there?

[@LSergei983]

If you want to be there, they will help you. Period. If you're struggling with something, they will do the best they can to help you, but it always comes down to you.
