Question for the OT military folks. I’m interested in hearing stories about the most intense military training in the world


Not a seal, but know dudes who washed. From what they’ve said, If you’re young enough (quick recovery time), physically fit, have some grit, and really, really want to be there, you’ve got a shot. Thing is most guys find out they really don’t want to be there after all when getting your junk kicked into the dirt. Being lucky helps as well.

But this isn’t just a seal thing. They just have the best PR. Ask some guys about RIP or the Q-course. It’s all a kick in the nuts and will weed out the guys who don’t really want to be there.

Seals are great and all but if my arse was in a pickle and I could pick the guys to come bail me out, it’s the CAG boys.

I figure I’d never make it as a seal. I hate the surf. It’s a personality thing as some people are built in different ways. I love the woods and can land nav well. The rangers would have been my path if I had developed my natural nav skills (pilot) back then. I’m not saying I’d make it, but I’d be better than in the surf - I get sea sick.

I’m also not a fan of not breathing when I want. Phase two would have sucked.
