The hot thing now is corporate including navy seal leadership in the workplace and motivation speeches. So there’s a jocko and David goggins getting all the praise and love for being navy seals.

But like someone said alot of these dudes just have a specific skill. That’s it. Some of these dudes are racist as fukk, like minors, complete liars, thieves, etc. I think America worships the Hollywood version of what they think SOF guys are.

The Truth
People forget, a lot of these dudes joined to legally kill people.. especially in Special Ops.

All in the guise of it being for the country. Necessary evils maybe, but these dudes are not perfect.

Take it from a guy that has worked and been friends with some. They are wild dudes… I don’t mind them though. Usually cool af towards me :yeshrug:

A breh I went to boot camp with ended up becoming a seal. I chilled with him and his seal buddies a couple of times at his house. Watching football and shyt.

They were all mad cool but…. They were dangerous. One time I came over and my breh told me to just come in when I come over. I came down the basement steps to his man cave and him and his seal brehs were down there already.

Apparently they were having a serious discussion about some dirt they did before and I half ass startled them when I popped up. Them dudes turned to me at the same time and they were all in motion. One breh picked up a pool cue and was about to throw that shyt like a javelin. The other cac had smooth threw his glass cup full of liquor in my direction and the Hispanic seal did some combat roll and was charging me


I was :mjcry:

My boot camp homie had to call the dogs off. I was food for real. After that they realized I was supposed to be there it was like a light switch flipped and they acted like that shyt never happened. I was :skip:

We had some bootleg David Goggins type come and speak to us for our quarterly meeting in July. His slogan was something about “make sacrifices great again” and I immediately tuned his bytch ass out.
