U.S. Marine Recon Underwater Training #Shorts

The definition of keeping your composure under pressure 👀| ⁣
⁣
Bobbing is when Marines take a large breath at the surface of the water. They then exhale immediately, causing them to sink to the bottom of the 12-foot pool. ⁣
⁣
From there, they push forward in an upward direction toward the surface. This is completed with hands and feet bound by rope.⁣
⁣
During the screening, the bobbing was executed for five minutes.⁣
“The bobbing exercise is designed to have the Marines practice controlling their breathing,”⁣
⁣
If you can’t conquer your fear in a controlled environment, then how can you be expected to conquered your fear when it REALLY matters ?⁣
⁣
Are you about that life?⁣

The pool is a great equaliser, no matter how beefed or skinny you may be.

you never realize the type of man you are until its test time.

This is literally how I was drowning in a pool when I was a kid. Didn’t know I was training to be a marine. Lmfao

[aileena]

realizing their hands aren’t tied brought my anxiety down

[nuttibuddy]

I'm gasping for air just watching this. Gheesh!
Respect.

As a marine who was with a recon unit, I can tell you these men are a different breed. I was just a radio tech for them, but I saw enough of them to learn a lot of respect for the shit they go through. This is probably one of the easiest things that recon training requires. Just being a Marine is hard enough, these guys take it to a whole new level.

The hardest part of this is the mental aspect. If you look, they're not exerting too much energy.

Like most things in the water, don't panic, don't thrash, work with the water not against it.

It's actually super calming to do this. I do this in the river a lot. Of course not on very deep spots and obviously not tied. The most relaxing moment is when you can rest on the bottom for a few seconds completely motionless no contractions and just feel the current and weight around you before pushing yourself up for air again.

Definition of "ima need you to get real comfortable with getting uncomfortable"

[Usmcto]

I remember my time doing this it’s not that bad stay calm keep taking a breathe when you come up relax the biggest thing with this is Marines panic and it makes them lose breathing control but SEMPER FI from one of the few and prouder A RECON MARINE

[kokonana]

Holding my breath all the time watching this. Mad respect.

[onedirtrider]

Just wanna make a more recent note that their hands aren't tied they're just holding a rope so that's perseverance... Respect

[ikanmasin]

this is why you need to be serious in life. Reality doesn't appreciate only joy & fun. That's why whoever reaches & train to the top will be seen as successful & cheered because it takes a lot to be disciplined. The marines are truly magnificent people. Cheers boys.

[sammy]

These guys' training is insane hell week, they sleep for just 4 hours it's crazy. These guys are as close to universal soilder as it goddamm gets 😮

[jjl]

This is why we must respect our veterans. They Train to protect us

[djp]

Glad there are some young people who aspire to be more than influencers.

[mrnobody]

They do tie your legs and hands
for all spec ops training. It’s called DROWN PROOFING. They have instructors with with scuba
equipment under water. Sometimes when they bring them up there already on the brink of drowning. They slap him a little and give him oxygen. In the start of movie lone survivor
they show this. The clips in the
very beginning are real BUDS
training.

[usmc-veteran-]

This is why I was regular Marine. No way I could have done this. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sergeant who served 1973-1977

[G.P.Fforever]

I bet the headaches are real at the end of this

[AaronProctor.]

Tried bobbing recently in a much shallower pool with nothing tied, it is not easy
