@nalusafalaya Жыл бұрын

If u think navy seals are soft because they don't feel the need to be scary because they know they will put you down first especially if you under estimate someone, I'm in my early 30's and have had someone bully me for the last 15 years and finally got fed up with them when they tried to attack me on Christmas day and knocked them out with a little jab because this person is a 3rd degree black belt who beat me up many times because I didn't want to have to hurt him, he learned fast this time after I dropped with him to stick my sharp finger nails in his eye gauging his eye out, he thought he was just going to make me his victim again, this is someone who has never showed me any type of respect and I didn't enjoy having to do what I did, a navy seal will disable you permanently very quickly, and thats dope he still skates, just rode my board the other day and have not used it for years but grew up skating

I caught this entire webcast by accident at 0225 hrs. Sitting about to go nuts, you know, another sleepless night. This show helped me. Can't say enough to vets about how much they mean to me, words can't go that deep. Y'all kept the bad guys over there and kept us safe that's for damn sure. I think the Lord guided me to this podcast and Mike, you and Ryan reminded me that the light at the end of the tunnel was the sunlight, and wasn't a 100 car Freight Train. There is hope if you don't quit trying.......God Bless America! This podcast thingy helped, and I don't know shit about cell phones. 👍🤠

Just wanted to thank you for doing these podcasts. I joined the Navy in ‘93, fresh off of reading Richard Marcinko’s book, pumped up and ready to go for my dream. I ran into red tape as I had signed a 6 year deal, per my recruiter’s advice, to be an HT, one of the supposed prerequisite jobs for the teams. My first and only command was the Dwight D. Eisenhower, CVN 69. Within a year, I was out on my backside. OTH discharge for a fight on board, with my weld shops 2nd, an E5. I actually thought that might just help me get orders to BUDS. I was so naive. My review board said I would’ve been great for the Navy of 20 years prior, and that I didn’t belong in today’s “ Kinder gentler Navy”. They denied my request for transfer, and I was told by some Team guys out of Little Creek, VA, (Team 2) that I had blown my chance anyhow, having a misconduct attached to my record. So, I asked to be sent to BUD/S, or sent home. Obviously, I got the latter… Long winded, if you read this, thank you. I’ve always looked up to Team guys. Much love and respect, I so wish I could’ve been mentally strong enough to have had the chance to see if I measured up, and to have possibly been part of the pack. I never was, nor will be, but your podcast let’s me peer into the lives and stories of those I truly respect, and takes me back some 30 years to a dream long forgotten. Thank you
