Drop down grany and give my 10
Say hey all the way

I worked with a couple older sailors from UDT . Even in there 70' s they were working harder than the young guys on the construction crews . These men taught me a lot when I was a kid . They were bad ass mofo's. Thank you very much for all you've done .

I watched this many times as a kid, hoping one day I could be just like those guys.

Surfers make the best seals followed by Texans. No state puts more guys through teams than Texas and California

Oh for sure I’d be on the SOCOM menu after my dad left it on and just have a field day. So much nostalgia from seeing this again

Same, I am young as well, I have recently turned 15 2 weeks ago.
I do not know what it is to be a man, but I have lived in poverty (not in the U.S.A)
I have always wanted to become a SEAL every since I had the knowledge to understand what things were or what not, I have noticed something that is in me, everything I do in a daily basis, coming to school without a sweater when it was almost freezing cold I have not but ignored it and focused on something bigger like the test and learning, this may sound dumb but it plays a crucial part never have I in my life found the option to quit, whenever I am excersing like running a mile and more, I finish my task without doubts to my head and never found stopping as an option.

Amidst a series of seriously wounded and injured patients in my assigned Casualty Receiving Station and their subsequent inpatient care, I had the pleasure to getting to know LT Erskine. Along with one of his Team members, the LT impressed me with his unfailing concern for his fellow wounded SEALS and the hunger to get back in the fight in spite of his/their injuries.
