US Navy

[onehundredk]

Well, i guess its last resort, i dont really want to do it, but on the bright side its a place to stay and paycheck, plus all my legal shit will be out of the way...my attorney recommended me join the USN, for a couple reasons, my judge was in the navy, and the military doesnt take anyone on probation, but with their signiture saying that theyll take me if im off probation, i can appeal to the judge and he might drop my probations and charges...and i guess ill be on a ship in the middle of the ocean for 2 years...anyways, i guess im gonna take the ASVAB test next week...anyone in the Navy, or was in the navy, i want to get a cool job, where i can actually make a living, i might even just stay in the Navy if i can get a decent job. if all else fails, i can just put USN on my resume and get a job anywhere lol. any advice? any jobs i should look into?

[rake922]

1. How old are you
2. Excuse my ignorance, why are you on probation?

[onehundredk]

well your excussed...a street fight a year ago...
and yes 20, i have undergrad of college too, if that helps

[IronFreakX]

Ha funny I was gonna start a thread similar to this.

Try out for the SEALS, if you make it, when you leave and work as a bodyguard or security stuff back in civilian world, the pay is $50/hr MIN...yes MIN most likely more.

There are tons of stuff in the Navy, take a look at their website and check out the www.military.com forums.

ya i was looking at the SEALs, the training sounds pretty basic, a normal cardio day....and also the most paid...i guess i should try out...

If that is your regular cardio, then you're a stud. Not trying to discourage you, but odds are you wont make SEALs, and then you get assigned a job. You should go in knowing what you are doing.

[onehundredk]

yea bro...its basic, it just gets a little more faster pace, by the last phase...its all training up to the programs...they dont start you out real tough...tomorro im going to the recruiter for more info on this

Im in the military. I have friends that are SEALs. Its anything but basic. You will get the living shit kicked out of you day and night, go days without sleep, swim in 40 degree water, and they wont stop until someone quits. You cant even compare it to anything you have ever done.

[onehundredk]

hmm, maybe i underestimated...id figure theyd only test you once a month, twice max...well im up for it...doesnt hurt to try out..if all else fails..im still in the navy and ill still get a job.

thats a great attitude to have. i didnt mean to discourage you, but you are underestimating it. if you decide to try it out, make sure you are in peak physical condition, and make sure your swimming is outstanding. kiss the weights goodbye. pullups, pushups, situps, etc.... thats all you should do. tons of shit on the internet and they have books out there. good luck!

thanks man. well see...ill keep adding to this thread the more i find out..

[MotoXracer]

I was watching this show about when the navy seals went in the attacked against Grenada. Long story short, they were meeting up with a ship out at sea and the guy said that they were tredding water for 4 hours, with no life preservers, after they swam to the pickup point.

4 hours... tredding water...so yeah, hope you can swim.

[no1snowman]

your best bet is to become a salvage diver..You learn how to weld and cut also work with mixed gasses for breathing...then when you get out...oil co. will pic you up at 150 to 200 thousand a year.....lots of research boats will also look at you...its a blow off job, sometimes..

[USfighterFC]

This thread is so ironic.

[stee]

I wouldnt worry about the testing with the seals. they are similar in most respects to any other special forces around the world SBS, SAS, Spetsnas, Sayeret Matkal, GROM, Delta, french foreign leigion etc.
One thing that will become apparent if you decide to go to one of them is. there are no one test.
it is all a test.

eg. SAS course is 6 months. 6 months of constant testing.
Its known as self selection, if you get to the end you get in. If you dont you get RTU'd (returned to unit).
If you are a Royal Marine and decide to go to the SBS after completing the SAS training and you dont reach the end of the SBS course you get RTU'd and arent alowed to go back to the SAS.

10% is Physical ability
90% is Mental ability

swimming is fun, use to play waterpolo and was a surfer...well see, like i said, if i drop out of SEALs training i can always get another job....snowman, what do you mean by its a blow off job?

This thread is so ironic.

yep, but my charges are stupid, and i dont need to lie on these forums to look special

Haa pretty funny.....nobody was bullshitting anyone. You can believe him all you want since I am oohhhh so terrified of him LMAO. BTW research a bit more on the navy because you don't know what your talking about. Now I guess I do see your point with the us military being filled with a bunch of criminals after all. LOL.

haha i didnt say anything that i didnt know what i was talkin about anyways. and i wasnt askin you to be terrified of me...obviously you have a problem with me cuz my opinion differs from your. get over it, how old are you? by the way...i kno alot of people in the military who are good people. but bein in the legal system i know theres a few who took the easy way out of the law...

Ok actually that is my fault...my apologies I misunderstood what you said. I was actually not talking about you when I said be terrified of me i was talking about caucasian. Again my fault I misread what you wrote....but anyway...with the SEAL training...you're going to have a job before you can even try to join BUDS. If you do fail you will be sent back to your old unit. So if you do choose a job make sure it is something you enjoy doing. As much as it sucks to leave it to go to BUDS at least if you fail you will go back to that job. Also just train as hard as you possibly can before you go cardio wise. Try to cut your sleeping time back A LOT. During hell week you will have 1-2 hours a night tops for one week and train hardcore. BUDS is no piece of cake. It will be the hardest thing you EVER do in your life. Also hit the gym for military presses because you will carry Ol' Misery on your shoulders for a while and you will also above your head. It also depends greatly on your boat crew. If you have a good squad it can make things easier. If your the one lagging on your squad the team gets punished so don't slack off. Good luck with it all. anything else you need to know let me know.

I could'nt help it any longer, it seems you guys just don't "have the love for each other" like to know what it is
p.s. I've never heard any one say I wanted to join the seals "just to have a job"

No i just misunderstood what he said totally. I just really really didnt agree with something he said in another forum but it's a dead issue.

alright man thank you. id hate to have some stupid beef relationship on here. by the way, thats one of the reasons i posted this to find a good job...i figure if i can make past BUDS...which most people drop out at..i could have a great chance of completein SEALs training....this question is for anyone..should i stop lifting weights? id figure more weight on my body would make me stronger for training...

[onehundredk]

Yeah with that attitude, he'll be one of the 1st people to ring the bell IMO

no, my overall goal of joinin the navy is to get a good job where i can make a living. im almost 21 years old, i figure the SEALs would give me the best options, as far as if id stay in the navy or if i end up tryin to find a job anywhere else.

That what I was thinking, but didn't want to piss anyone off
I was thinking something funny from the movie full metal jacket but picturing him in the role of Joker
Gunny= "why did you join my beloved corp?"
Him="sir,for a job, sir"
Sorry the random thoughts that I have

Search for Category 1 and Category 2 SEAL workouts either online or a P2P program, I have already stopped weights about 5 months ago.

Get working on Running with boots and pants, on the sand sometimes.

Swimming, underwater, with fins(for hip flexors)

Pushups, pushups, pullups, dips, situps, Military presses...REPEAT!

You wanna keep your diet mostly or 50% Carbs now, yes carbs and the rest divided between protein and fats

NOO the more weight you have the more miserable you will be. You have to remember it takes a lot of oxygen to keep those muscles going. Hence you're breathing will be more labored and you will gas very quick. I'm not syaing go there at 120 pounds but try to get at the most comfortable weight you can. If you get passed BUDS it's A LOT easier but people still dont make it. There are tests you cannot prepare for. Such as seal instructors fvckin with your scuba tank and unscrewing all sorts of valves and such that you need to fix while under water. If you come up for a breath you fail. Also you have to remember you're competing with other boat crews as well. The faster you all work together and get things accomplished the easier your time will be (which is still hard). Also always remember to LISTEN to instructors and everything they say. You're gonna get shit on no matter what you do. But i'd seriously cut back on weights and fvck the heavy lifting do everything for reps because that is all you will be doing over there. Everything for reps. Even things like static training will help.

[onehundredk]

well i guess ill start self training myself now, and hopefully can get a time where i can go in after i feel a little more comfortable with my physical peak

SEAL would be a great job to have. There are many other good ones too though. And those recruiters are full of shit. Dont do anything without talking to someone with experience.

haha so ive heard. i wonder if the navy has a firefighting team, be a firefigher for them for 2 years..come out and i can probably get a job at any station around here, and be pretty high ranked so i dont have to do the runt work...i kno the airforce has one..shouldnt the navy too? lol

[USfighterFC]

yes there are firefighters....but you can also be at sea and be a firefighter on any type of ship so you would be deployed like any other seaman.

the military fire academy is rated the second best in the world. or so ive heard from military firefighters lol. dont know if its true or not.

[skingusmc]

buddy you can't just "sign up" and become a SEAL. You're like 90% of the kids who sign up. They say I wanna be a SEAL and go to BUDS and get their ****ing ass kicked. If u aren't at least the most badass mother ****er in your town u won't last a week

no you have to enlist first. and then id pick a job, if they dont for me...then id try out for the SEALs, yea im one of the 90% of the kids who sign up...well yes 80% of them fail. fortunetaly i have high expectations for myself, so i wont let myself fail. you say "if you aren't at least the most badass mother ****er in your town u won't last a week"...well if it is SOOO hard to get into, how come there are so many SEALs now. If they can do it, im sure i can push myself to do it too. im not flaming you or anything, but just cuz i sit on a computer and chat on a forum about my steroids doesnt mean im a pussy. i use to work 9 hour construction shifts a day in 100 degree weather, and it was my choice to not take a lunch break. sure i sat down for 15 mins and got some water, but i went back to work. all my life ive busted my ass, i know i can bust my ass in BUDS...and like i said, if i fail, doesnt mean i cant do anything anymore in the service. sorry for my rant, but its people like you who say its impossible and its pointless and i shouldnt even try...have you tried out before??? well im actually going to try, and if i fail, i can say how tough it is...and if i make it, then what?....anyone else want to discourage me?

Actually I'm a US Marine in the Infantry and I work construction as well. I've been through more shit than you could imagine. I'm just telling you that you probably don't know what you're getting yourself into. Having high expectations is good, but being a SEAL is just on a whole nother level. Also there are very very few SEALS, i'm not sure why u think there are a lot. Anyhow, i wish you luck

well, all i can say is, i know what im gettin myself into, about 7 months of hardwork and punishment (pretty much)...like i said, im gonna try, if i dont suceed, oh well, it kept me busy for 7 months...cool your in the USMC, hardwork too, but its not BUDS. id like you to be aware of the fact that i know SEALs are one of the most respected units in the military. so of course its not gonna be an easy...sign here, good, now your a SEAL. might as well try it out, what do i have to lose?

[skingusmc]

nothing to lose and bragging rights to gain
