What happened to BUDS Class 234 - 2023 Update [Part 3]

[@Uberstr1ke]

Hey everyone since I'm probably not going to make another video on class 234, I'll leave some updates here: What about PATSTONE, LIVELY, ...(insert other member of class 234)? - Checkout part 1 and 2 where I cover the other members of the class: Part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6XQY4mGZ9Vohtk Part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6Sac6yDYrNsZrM Where is HOFFMAN? - All I know is that he didn't graduate with class 234 UPDATE ON MORGAN - A viewer Corps Precision provided me an update on Morgan. I personally cannot verify this but I wanted to share: "Morgan served in the SEALs for one tour. In Feb 2007 him and I met in the city of Basra Iraq working as Mobile Diplomatic Protection Contractors in the British Area of Operation at an Embassy Outpost for the State Department. I remember the Documentary was always something we teased him about. He was one of the first celebrity SEALs He had been contrasting since 2005. He left Iraq in late 07 and I believe he went to work as an engineer for an optics company (rifle scopes, binoculars..etc) Any he’s doing well in the private sector and lives a private life." UPDATE ON FOX - Some people in the comments believe Fox went DEVGRU. I haven't been able to verify this though

[@topdogred]

I was told by a reliable source that Instructor Patstone's mustache is still down range killing the enemy.

[@donnieporter7890]

Now that comment is funny thanks for the laugh

Too bad he was a corpman/medic though. Technically a non combatant.

[@theotherside1159]

I’m not sure if anyone cares, but during the BUDS class 234 documentary there’s a part where class 233 is running past 234 on the beach, Chris Kyle was in that pack running.

[@Willard05]

I care. Thanks

chris kyle was a psychopath and a trash person.

[@GoldenThreads1]

If remember correctly so was Marcus Luttrell and David Goggins

[@AustenAlexander]

I swam with Travis Lively 2 years ago in the Hudson Bay. Same personality as in the documentary ❤

Why was he in Canada? Or is this a different Hudson Bay in the US?

These videos are fantastic. I was a firefighter for 27yrs, retiring last July. About 5-6yrs into my career, we hired a former SEAL who operated for 10yrs, serving in three different teams. I remember watching this documentary whilst we were on the same crew. He said it brought back so many memories, he’d shuffle through the station saying “hurry up” and many other phrases. Laughing throughout most of his rookie year. He’s still one of my closest friends and he’s also about to retire. Thanks for this video, it brought back some great memories for me as well. 🍻

[@user-wq4ui7gw1w]

Would guys treat him like shit as a probie?

[@teddy.d174]

@@user-wq4ui7gw1w Absolutely not, guys who’ve been through experiences like that, are treated differently than a kid out of the academy. Real world experience matters.

[@robwhite2282]

I wonder if we’re thinking about the same guy that became a fire fighter in about 2012? CO

[@dennispetretti3384]

Class 234 was an eye opener of what SEAL training was truly like. Watched it many times, especially when I’m feeling lazy and sorry for myself. It motivates me today even at 80 to get up and off my ass. The great thing, is how well myself and othesr got to know those in the class and the instructors. Appreciate, you have taken the time to tell us what happened to them. Thank you

[@erad3035]

I went to BUD/S in the mid-90s and the documentary is probably the best source of information about BUD/S there is, but what you're shown on camera is only a tiny fraction of what trainees see, do, and go through. What the public is shown is a very sanitized version of the reality that trainees face.

[@Gentamoru]

Damn I was just thinking about this, haven't been doing shit but playing videogames lately and I saw a bit of the documentary again yesterday and it hit me lol I should get off my ass already

[@MR-nl8xr]

" let me consult my machine of knowledge "

[@sethgoyne90]

Same here, anytime I am feeling lazy, Instructor Pastone and the run on the beach with him driving driving.."hurry up catch the pack...hurry up don't fall back....hurry up catch the pack...."

[@vitigaymer1053]

From what I've heard Fox was the Master Chief at DEVGRU. And is still active duty so it'll be hard to find info on him.

[@Uberstr1ke]

makes sense

[@SnackPack913]

Getting out of the military looks like the worst part by far. I can’t imagine going from jumping out of planes with night vision to sitting at a desk working an9-5 lol

[@Uberstr1ke]

That's probably why many of them started their own business

[@mr_demeanor6008]

should listen to some of the shawn ryan show. It seems to be when most of the guys hit their lifetime low.

[@Motownsports89]

That's why I'm not going to work behind a desk when I get out.

[@TheBatugan77]

There are a lot of desk jobs IN the military. One of the perils of promotion is they become harder and harder to avoid.

[@erad3035]

It's a tough transition. SEALs nearing the end of a career are usually a Chief and at that rank with that kind of time-in-service guys can be making the civilian equivalent of 100k-120k+/year after calculating bonus pays, BAQ, BAS, not paying medical insurance, the various tax shelters, etc and finding a job that pays that well without going into similar lines of work can be challenging. Not to mention, guys go from being celebrated as SEALs to basically insurance salesman overnight is a tough pill to swallow. The sense of purpose and comradery (even if exaggerated) that comes with being on a SEAL team is hard (if not impossible) to replace for a lot of guys.

[@ACDCluva10]

I deployed with Fox at Team 4. Dude was a supreme hard ass. Not everyone liked him but everyone respected him.

[@Uberstr1ke]

Thank you for your service

[@GoldenThreads1]

That's so cool.

[@michaelr.l.militia8921]

Just viewed all 3 episodes... Excellent Work! Saw the Original Class 234 Documentary and I distinctly remember That Chant... "Hurry Up, Don't Fall Back, Hurry Up, Catch the Pack!" I used it quite often to motivate myself during long distance training for Marathons when I was much younger... currently 70... I still use it for Other Stuff and Taught the Phrase to My Daughter. Keep up the Good Work... Subscriber

Back in 2013 (then) senior chief Rivera was a buds instructor. If you remember anything from the 234 docu, he sucked at dips… well… years later he led pull-ups and dips and nobody could keep up. A true bad ass.

[@masterchief167]

Thanks for the Video… Loved Travis Lively, always positive…’I’m gonna recover’ is something he said that’ll always stay with me.

Cool! I always wondered about instructor Taylor. He seemed like a cool guy, and you could also tell he cared about his job in leading trainees into becoming Navy Seals.

I thought he was a good actor too. Shame he hasn't been in more movies.

Some great info here that I don't think many will know...Bischoff rolled, graduated 235 w/ Goggins! Boss rolling, graduating 236 and goes onto Tier1 unit and as you see just a total badass operator. Walker has some history with some cats that went on to be SEALS. You can search and find one talking of bitch slapping him during training (not class 234) and commenting on some of his antics during the 234 filming. Love it! Thanks for posting!

He left there and went on to have a fantastic career with Marine Fisheries in North Carolina where he went on to earn Marine Fisheries Officer of the Year in 2017 due his developing and implementing a water survival course for Marine Patrol, North Carolina Wildlife, and Marine Fisheries employees. He is mentioned a couple of times in the documentary and speaks to the camera on one occasion.

Good stuff! You’ve been working on these videos for a long time

[@Uberstr1ke]

I think a good way to round of the project would be to have a few of the guys's chat on zoom. If anything, I think combining all the videos into a short documentary to go along with the original video would be pretty cool. I appreciate the work you put in. I love the Navy Seal documentary. If anything, it's a reminder that we all can do much more than we think, which is a great lesson for anyone throughout their life.

When did they fight for ur freedom. It's actually the opposite, they were part of foreign occupation forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. They literally helped deprive others of their freedom, until America was finally beaten and went home. It's police officers who ensure ur freedom and safety
