"Its a lot easier to find men who are willing to die, than to find those who are ready to endure pain with patience"

0:54 this mans name is Justin Legg he now lives in my area of Hampton Roads in Virginia. He served on the SEAL teams for years before being diagnosed with leukemia. He still served on the SEAL teams while receiving chemo treatment and numerous medical operations. Legg was cured for a time before being diagnosed with a uncommon cancer that spread rapidly to his lungs. He had a double lung transplant...and ran a triple marathon. Amazing man.

“Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute, or an hour or a day, or even a year. But eventually, it will subside. And something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it’ll last forever”
- Lance Armstrong

I used to watch this when it was airing on tv. Got real motivated to train and go to buds...then I started swimming.
then I joined the navy as an electrician.

About to go through it at the end of this year, I’m not quitting for shit, going to die before I ring that bell

Few guys in that clip made it through. LEGG did and ended up getting a double lung transplant look it up. The guy at the end made it too

0:53 Justin legg, look him up, navy seal, cancer survivor and lung transplant recipient. this dude doesn't know the meaning of quit.

Refusing to quit is an admirable trait (however everybody who voluntarily withdraws from BUDS went in there with the mindset that they'd never quit. Nobody starts planning to quit, but they do anyways.). Also simply not quitting isn't enough. You can fail BUDS by being performance dropped (there are things like run times, swim times, O course times that you must meet). You can also be dropped if your body gives out on you (stress factures, torn ligaments, etc) so your body must be conditioned prior to getting to BUDS. Good luck to those wishing to venture down this career path.

1:39 “Don’t give into the pain! You just adjust to it! That’s it! Minor adjustments! Don’t give into the pain and quit.” That fired me up hearing that.🇺🇸💪✝️

Everyone, I just checked this video for the first time in 4 years and am blown away by the response. I had no idea it had been viewed this many times and has impacted the number of people it did. Thank you all for the responses... I'll start working on some more videos if that's something everyone is interested in.

[RisingStarLA]

It’s more of a dynamic teamwork. You see someone fallen behind the group, you fall back and help them out and push forward. It’s not always a “one man army”.

[TheWsandH]

There will times when you want to quit and you think about doing it. Everyone does at some point, and if they tell you otherwise they are lying. The Real Trick to the game is pushing past the urge to give into your emotions. I promise you all, for those that want to do this or any other type of military service: the pain will subside, the body can take anything.

[VKAN]

"You're in control of your pain" is a profound mentality if you can convince the mind of this reality.

I wasn’t a seal, just an army infantryman. Joined right as we were about to invade Iraq. I remember the day I went from a civilian to a soldier. The very second. Probably half way through basic, exhausted, injured, hungry, tired, feeling down. As we were getting smoked, I felt I couldn’t take anymore. And I turned all those feelings into aggression. I used that aggression to lush through the pain. At that moment, something changed in me. And to this day I have never lost that feeling. No matter what I go through in life, I can push through.

[JasonHeights]

Just gonna say, good job guys. You deserve the most honoured respect on this continent.

[seandelaney]

“Find an excuse to win” Hell yeah hell yeah, excuses for quitting are so easy to find because they’re everywhere, but all you need is just ONE excuse to win

[GatCat]

Simple Trick? This lovely music makes these American Hero’s seem sentimental. They are thriving through hell.

[TK-rzni]

I just wanna say, I am so grateful for these men. The sacrifices these guys make every day to keep all of us safe, most of us will never be able to understand. I’m just an enlisted air force maintainer, but it’s an honor to defend the same flag that these guys do. I’m currently working towards my commission and hoping to be a pilot one day. It’s people like this that remind me to keep pushing and I am so grateful for that reminder 🇺🇸
