"My only talent is that I don't quit."
Navy seal, If I was a US citizen, but since I am Canadian I am planning to join my country's SF. Ever since I found this channel it has given me so much insight about the world of SF and even in aspects of life itself. Thank you for videos and cheers from your fellow brothers in arms of the north!
Huh? Why don't you just do a video called, "What's Harder – Drinking Molten Lead or Drinking Molten Steel?"
Love your videos and I prefer SF due to the big range of missions and skills. The Seals are better direct contact fighters. Also obviously better in the Water and I also am a good swimmer but not great by any means to be in that arena.
Thank you and all service members for your service !! And thank you for sharing your insights and wisdoms !! Outstanding !! Much Love ✌️😎💕
Veteran's Day, USMC birthday, and Thanksgiving. Very big month!
I love this channel. As a regular civillian, it's motivating to me. To get up and do something good even though it won't be military.
If I had to choose between the two, that would be tricky. On the one hand, I've always been a big fan of swimming and the water — the ocean doesn't scare me like it does some people. The diving part of SEAL training would be something that interests me rather than scare.
On the other hand, I like working towards long-term solutions. With that in mind, the idea of learning a foreign language (I'm already bilingual) and helping a foreign culture learn to properly defend themselves would be something I'd be interested in.
The reality, though? I'm nowhere physically fit enough to join either of these two units. BUT I watch the channel because I love the advice given, and the mindset of seeking to be your best.
In all things, seek excellence.
I just love how you bring quality information in a non-biased or clickbaity way like YEEEE NAVY SEAL ARE THE TOUGHEST GUYS IN THE WORLD. Instead you slowly compare and bring good and info based content, thank you
Neither. If I had it to do over again, I would have went PJ.
Thank you Mr. Larson for correcting me regarding SF representing "only" the Army Special Forces. I'll be sure to be mindful of that in any future comments I make, including conversations I have with former Army retirees I served with in Vietnam who were members of Special Forces. I'm certain they will appreciate the distinction.
Great video.. everything is on point. Keep them coming …
Just a civilian, but it seems like SF selection would be harder mentally in some ways, since you don't really get a whole lot of feedback from the cadre and seem to be kept in the dark on a lot of things.
I think I'll stick to being a retired homicide detective…
The word Harder; tossed around like pancakes. The only person who can quantify difficulty is: Find one who has done both schools. Otherwise, concrete experience differs individualy. Out.🇬🇧🇺🇲
How do you get a 100 on the asvab I thought it capped at 99 🤔
Out of the two pipe lines I would see my self in a Special Forces unit, because the mission sets and way of operation is more catered to my likings and ideals.
Tons of respect for both communities, I couldn't be either 😄
6 weeks to get any feeling back in the bottom of your feet?
I remember an SF dude crying cause he ran a 12:10 2 mile and not a 12 flat.
I wish i could run a 12:10
I love the title of this video LOL as to actually say Navy Seals aren't special forces. What are they, special SPECIAL forces? Or are they just REGULAR FORCES?
My dad was an E7 Drill Sergeant in the Army and he always spoke very highly of Navy Seals & SP. Very interesting to see the training differences between the two.
I would definitely want to be a Green Beret. Yes, the younger me loved the SEALS. Shit, I even went to the Museum in Ft. Pierce(Was my birthday gift, I encourage everyone to check it out. Very awesome time) I got all the books as well. However, when it comes down to preventing new conflicts you want the GB. SEALS(at least the perception) would rather go in, "resolve" the problem and get back home. They would not want to do UW or FID. The GBs want to go and make a difference. Because if they do what they need to do, then that means further down the line, we(the U.S.) don't get caught up in some foreign fuckery that can potentially blow up even worse. Just my two cents.
By the way, I'm a Marine(0351)
I always liked Ranger regiments mission set but man RASP ain’t easy either. Much shorter and more to the point because of the mission of the 75th
Seals are Bad A but I'd def be in SF
I love and respect u guys. But fighting for these bankers n doing their wil,I don’t know about that. Our cia created Al queda and isis n friends. And u guys go n fight them. That’s kinda fvcked up. To do to someone. Our enemies are right in this country !!
I pulled security for the special guys. Does that count?
Whose wife can swallow a 26" dildo, navy seals or special forces or both?
A lot of y’all are making choices based on personal interest. The title says which is HARDER!! It’s definitely the Navy Seal pipeline!
I couldn't do either one and I have respect to the highest for those who have. I would like to be the one who comes to pick these heroes up after the job is done.
I don't know personally I can't imagine going through hard ass training, and dying in a country that isn't mine to protect people that aren't my people, funded by a government that hates me, and probably funds the proxy wars that I'm fighting in.
Try a recon assist and a cia transporter deliver kill and drive no bull shit I mean no BS everything is ur target in the us they send them into us to spy whatever the spy does is not illegal even if not ordered to dead or alive silent or loud as long as u do ur job kill civilians people if needed if things get in ur way no police can stop u
Ur a target beyond many rich people ur job is to transport on vehicle or foot it's a federal job
A marine recon is NO JOKE no one's a bitch 100 yards or lower ur Target is at that range nothing above ur basically going enemies lines breathing enemy bad breath bayonet is ur option
What I want to DO: primarily hydrographic/amphibious recon, long range recon, maritime interdiction/maritime counter terrorism/vbss. Would it be best to go SEALs or Marine Recon/Raiders?
Is there a place or website that people like myself who want to get into the seals can go to find a training regiment
Military wife is harder
Your video is slightly off. You can’t “have an asvab of 100 or higher” because the highest you can achieve on that test is 99. Then it breaks down into line scores. Maybe you mean GT score?
Comparing Seals to Berets is like comparing apples to oranges – but the apples use more hair gel.
