I only watched a few minutes of the first vid.. I get where Groggins was coming from. Basically saying SEALS in his platoon/unit or whatever got soft and kinda forgot the edge that made them SEALS.
SEALS are literally down for whatever. They’re supposed to be down to do the wildest shyt in the military. I think he was basically saying that they were getting comfortable by just being called SEALS by name, and not by actions.
And a lot of motherfukkers do that just for the name too. I wish I could’ve gone actually, but it would’ve been just for the title too honestly. Met a lot of SEALS (and BUDs drops) along the way and they were always usually cool af. Everything was unconventional.. and I liked that about them.
This is just from my experience ofcourse. And I had a lot of classes with these dudes. My A-school instructor was a SEAL actually, and he was kinda out of shape
(In SEAL terms. He was actually working out to get back into SEAL shyt when I was there. Running in boots and weighted vest around a track shyt. I would catch him at night because I would be outside working out too.)
But that BUDs shyt isn’t sustainable I don’t think. Doing that kinda shyt daily would be hell on your body. But I get where he’s coming from.

This dude has never been on a mission if I’m not mistaken. He may not be the best messenger. 
I mean come on, america wins war through superior technology, not on whose the toughest. If wars were won off of bravado and toughness, the taliban would have pushed america out of Afghanistan years ago.
People aint watch the interview and thyre commenting already.
And this interview sums up why I appreciate Goggings more than these other Navy Seal leaders out here. He was never too over the top pushing some over patriotical nonsense while we live in a currently fukked up America.
He was always mostly about improving yourself no matter the situation and this interview he's giving reciepts to gossipers and their kin folk

Lowkey if I went the military route I would’ve liked to join special forces, not for the title but for the extreme shyt they be doingI only watched a few minutes of the first vid..

Everyone says this… not many do it.
I had leg issues, was a below average swimmer, and honestly joined just to get away…
I was cool in everything else though. But I never considered it. Just ended up working, working out, or being in classes with these dudes.
If I had wanted it and took it seriously.. probably. But a lot of people say the same.
I had a homie that went Spec-Ops for the name a notoriety… he was one of those dudes who joined the Navy but realized, average sailor isn’t really looked at with much respect
But he didn’t go SEALs for sure
I probably should’ve went Devgru.

Oh, and not every SEAL looks like a stereotypical SEAL. Some stand out but some blend in… a lot are shorter than what you think too. Probably average height/size
I was in a base-wide weightlifting/fitness competition in San Diego and there were SEALs in it. My Devgru buddy won his weight division and I loss mines to a SEAL… by one rep
I smoked Devgru buddy though and I hardly took a rest break in between so

And that’s fine, but he’s doing this under the navy seal brand. And he’s using that as a calling card to his followers. It’s like saying you’re a sniper but you never bust your gun.
He totally used his title as a Navy SEAL to sell his shyt. What a hypocriteThis dude has never been on a mission if I’m not mistaken. He may not be the best messenger.

I kinda have the mentality that if ima do military shyt I might as well go as far as i can, really dig deep into military science and shyt like thatEveryone says this… not many do it.

But he was a Navy Seal, so whats the issue? He has a right to have his own opinion like anyone else. And he was deployed, so the bust your gun comparison isnt a good one

Well, I wouldn’t call him a full blown hypocrite because he did pass navy seal training and is officially a seal. Very few people can say that

If I’m not mistaken, not everyone of them go on serious missions and shyt like that. Not every situation calls for them.
I always kinda looked at them in the same way I look at firefighters (at least firefighters where I’m at). These dudes will stay in the gym working out because it’s all they really have to do. They just got to be ready for when real shyt goes off and some are better than others.
