I downloaded a documentary about Navy Seals BUDS (6 episodes, 45 minutes eaches, only watched about half first episode) it's pretty cool.
Anyone here tried that?
-
i did the training in 1985 droped out due to a torn acl
then went into the reg navy till 89
did 6 weeks and it was HELL !
-
cool.
yeah injuries gotta be the worst where you feel you'd be able to complete it but get an injury.

It's incredible how many guys claim to have been a Seal. There was a web site devoted to exposing false claims of being an ex Seal. It seems any Navy guy that had any involvement with the Seals team claim they too was a Seal. Seals, Marine recon; and Special Forces are a small elite special operations team. I read that the average weight of Seal at graduation is 170lbs. Endurance is what elite military forces need. Everytime I hear a 240lb fat guy who couldn't run a 100 yards claim he was a Seal I want to laugh.

A very good friend, who is now a DJ on a regional rock station, was a seal for 4 years during Viet Nam. The stories are unbelievable, but true. out of 100 applicants, 5 are accepted and only 1 on average finishes SEAL training. Some of the underwater explosives take up to 3 minutes of holding your breath to install. Try it. I can't see how it's humanly possible for some of the shit these very special people are able to achieve. There was a special on DSC a few years ago which we watched together. He told me they down played alot of the more nastier things like eating grubs, bark, silent killing, bloodless noiseless killing. Like I said, special men for a specail job.

Your friend is pushing 60 yrs old? (assuming he was 20 and served in Nam 66 through 70)

The hair stylist for Baywatch was one of the first Neal Seal graduates. He is a tough looking guy that carries around a hair brush and spritzer bottle. Any Seals on here know a Seal with the initials TB. He headed up the BUDS in Guam and is now in Guantanamo (?). His dad is also an Admiral. We were partners for awhile in a website that sells Navy Seal wear and watches. I never knew how he got the rights to do that.

"Headed up the BUDS in Guam..." Are you sure? BUDS has always been in Coronado, as far as I know.
-
I am pretty sure he said thats what he was doing there. I don't know nothing about half the shit he tells me. But I do remeber he was in Guam and he mentioned BUDS. I remember he was trying to get a company n the side going to disarm mines or something. He had a website where he sold Seal stuff. I worked on it a little. It was hooyausa.com He was pretty high up there.
-
Actually I just went to the site. It is still up. Nothing changed really Still had links to a couple other pages I did along time ago but they dont work. He had access to the actual original plans found somewhere in Germany to the Fokker DR1 or 7 can't remember that The Red Baron flew. I made a really nice website for that and we had a Hummer conversion company called Hooya Hummer. He was a Ranger I think first then went into the Seal program.

BUDS is in Coronado.....
Most liekly this guy ran a program or school out of Guam which used Seal instructors.
That is very common around the world.
-
I was in a forced recon unit when I was in the USMC for 18 mos. It was pretty brtal training but I doubt it was nearly as bad as BUDS.
You mean Force Recon right?
In regards to your training...it's very equivalent to the basic BUDS program in physical demands except that BUDS training may take it a little more deeper in the emotional & mental exhaustion stage.
Most Elite Special Forces training is very similar in physical demands. Where it become different is the actual mission each team is assigned to specialize in. SEALS are crossed trained in every basic demand but still is assigned to become an expert in a certain area. Army, Navy, Air Force, & Marines...each have their own special forces. Some are trained for some general basic missions & others may be specialized in certain extreme areas.

co-starring Dick Majors and Miles Long.

Don't forget about Butch Backdoor.

and introducing Man of Steel as the Twinkie.

But any guy that really is a SEAL or an operator will more than likely tell you he is something else, and not admit what he does for a living, unless you are working with him or real close family.
Very true
They don't do it to create a mystery....but to protect their families, their missions, & to avoid stupid questions.

Howard, you wrote you have to be in decent shape. That's the understatement of the year.

In the movie Navy Seals with Charlie Sheen at the beginning when he jumps of the bridge. That is my friend and person who got me into stunts Eddie Braun. We grew up together. He was Charlies double as also Tony Danza, Jackie Chan and others. He actually broke his leg on that jump which was not planned.
-
i agree with the guy who posted earlier. anyone have info on the absolute toughest SOB's out there? the Delta Force. i read that book written by eric haney about his experience in delta. yo that shit was no joke. it is a great read for anyone interested in what true toughness, both mental and physical, really is

Chuck Norris was in Delta Force and Lee Marvin. Those guys are tough

My friend who I have been talking about had a really nice Rolex watch on. My other friend asked him about it. He said there was quite atory behind it but not sure if he should tells us cause it was about a mission he was on. In short, my friend didn't kill a guy that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. This guy apparently was on the up and up and my friend believed him and he was not killed. The guy thanked my friend by giving him his watch. He insisted and my friend ended up taking it. My friend later found out the guy was telling the truth and that he owned a rather large jewelry store in New York. The whole story was unreal though.
Are there any Seals on here cause I can bet you know my friend TB. He has been around along time with the SEALS. He runs the website I put down earlier. At least I think he still does
-

Nah these are 6x700mb files

Good, but not the best.....the pinnacle of special forces is the 22nd regiment...the SAS....
...in fact the US's Delta Force was modelled on the SAS....the founder of Delta Force, Col.Beckwith set it up in 1977....he himself had served in the SAS some years earlier on an exchange program between the US and UK and liked what he saw....the organisation, selection and training found in Delta Force is based on what Beckwith experienced with the SAS.
-
But whatabout the Foreign Legion!
-
I worked with a special forces guy at a club in college. He was an Army Ranger, and a Green Beret before that, or vice versa.
Really cool guy. He was going to school after he got out of the Rangers. He wanted to get a degree and start a family.
We could never get the guy to loosen up. He was always stiff. He could handle the drink pretty good though. lol Still would never loosen up though, no matter how much he had to drink.
He said a lot of the ex special forces guys could make a good living doing mercenary work for private military services.

i think they still deny that delta actually exists. it depends on the jobs too, as far as the training goes. they all train in the same places and know the same shit. delta specializes in hostage rescue, snatch and grabs, etc.

I couldnt think of a worse job than to be a SEAL. The training alone is so brutal. Being in sub zero temperatures in the ocean as a daily job would be awful. Gotta hand it to them.

You have to have mental toughness and good swiming abilities to be a seal.

If he was in Vietnam, he couldn't have been a SEAL, he would have been a member of UDT. UDT was the predecessor of SEALs.
-
The seals are in a league of their own when it comes to endurance and holding their breath.
I was in the special forces as a ranger.
Hated being cold, hungry, and dead tired due to not sleeping for over 48hours.
Lots of people in the platoon got injured for life during training.
Still it was nothing like the seal training, pure softcore in comparison.
Keep in mind the seals during the Vietnam war were very different from
how the training is today.
-
The best thing is when a guy lies about being in special forces or whatever and someone who was really there calls him on it.
Happened at work, this cook, Borges, liked to pretend he was in the Green Berets in the army. One day this big but quiet guy asked him if he knew so and so and had ever been to such and such. Borges said no. Then the big guy said
the only way you wore a green beret
is if you took off your underwear and wore it on your head

They are on the same paygrade as an other service member except when they are in hostile environments they rate special pay....just like everyone else.
There's no "special pay" the government provides for special forces. It's an honor/privilege. But....it sure can help on a resume when seeking employment within the government or special services.

knny187 they do get some special pays....
They do get a little more than the average paygrade.....and it is an honor for them to do what they do. These guys are my heroes
Aside from their paygrade...they get jump pay, dive pay, and some sort of special duty pay that are paid monthly with their other entitlements. They get other pays and bonuses for rentention purposes . And whenever they do their missions, they also get some sort of per diem based on locality which they have to file vouchers for to get reimbursement. Sometimes the missions they go on can net them over $10,000 or more before taxes.....depends how long they are gone and the location they are at (locality rate and if government meals were provided or not)
They tend to make a little more than their regular military counterparts....they should be getting paid more if you ask me
Example: I knew someone who is air force pararescue. I am in a different career field and higher ranking than this person yet he makes more than me annually...the answer is because of his special pays....dive pay, parachute pay, special duty pay,dependency status, etc and his housing rate he is at..
I believe that for a person in his career field and rank can make over $50,000-$60,000 plus per year for the fact that the deployments are long (per diem), if they are in a tax exempt location, if they have dependents and authorized family separation allowance, special pay (dive, parachute, Hostile fire pay, etc). Also when you are on a mission, your meals are taken care of for you, you dont have to worry about paying rent and gas because the governent supplies you vehicles when you are on your mission ...so you actually save money and arent really in need for anything...
-
once they are done, what they have gone through is priceless. Pays off later.

i think whatever they get it should be doubled...id love to have a go at the training myself though...just to see if i could handle it

He was in UDT.
He was a Seal and UDT was part of it. He will always say he was seal his name is Jim Janos
-
If he was in Vietnam, he couldn't have been a SEAL, he would have been a member of UDT. UDT was the predecessor of SEALs.
The SEALS (teams 1 & 2) were established in 1962 in during the Vietnam War. UDT started in the 40's. The Hair and Makeup guy on Baywatch was one of the original team 1 or 2 members.

Yeah...but Recon, MEU-SOC, & a shit others rate the same entitlements.
My point being....a paygrade is a paygrade. There is no extra pay for being a "SEAL"
US government troops make the same unless you are in a hot zone or have an added danger to your occupation. When you're not in the hot seat & back in the rear....that take the pay away.
Here's another thing.....just because you pass BUD's.....do you automatically get assigned a team?
No
So, those guys aren't entitled Jump, Scuba, Demolition pay....unless they are in that position.
From my experience (& most guys will agree)
These "Elite units" have shit bags in them just like the regular forces. I've met just as many shit head seals as shit bag Rangers, SF, Recon, etc.....
Nothing makes these guys any different than the rest.....except the mission.

The teams were established for Vietnam

with all bullshits aside, anybody who call themselves navy seals would have to earn it. I saw a documentary on the Military channel not too long ago, there were 550 applicants and only 98 guys made it after hell week. the training is fcuking ridiculous. Some call it Torture, insanity, but these muthafcukers deserve respect from everyone. period.
