The Harsh Truth Behind Navy SEAL Training

Andy Stumpf is an ex-Navy SEAL Team member who joined one of the most elite teams during his service. Navy SEALs have to endure some of the most brutal military training regimens across all the branches of the military and they have been under scrutiny for how far they have been willing to push their members. One training exercise exposes the members to CS gas aka tear gas which causes excruciating eye, nose, chest and throat pain when exposed to it however Andy defends this exercise based on what Navy SEALs have to come across in the field. Does it not makes sense to expose trainees to real world obstacles in their training regimen?

Sweat in peace so you don't bleed in war.

[captaincrunch]

NBD. He's right CS gasdoes suck and the first exposure shouldn't be in combat.. 100% agreed.

[ChrisFabianoNYC]

You'll NEVER forget this training

[trumoomoo]

I don’t think the people complaining understand what we’re asking these guys to do after the training

[mericc]

I remember they said check your mask
Ok
Now check your buddy
I look to my left and buddy puked in his mask and it was shooting out the sides😅

The harder the training the better off you’ll be in the field. Our minimum standards have fallen so low, that any unit that isn’t specifically combat oriented is practically combat ineffective.

This isn’t just SEAL training. We had to do the same thing in Army boot camp back in the day. Good times

30 minutes after that your sinuses have never been so cleared. You can actually feel the cool air in your forehead. Its amazing. Plus you get to see people lose their minds freaking out.

Two thumbs up, would do again.

Honestly this shit is a great sinus clearer in basic training. Most people get sick because of the exposure to people from all over crammed together. I think it's valuable. Dude has a point. You should experience this first in a real situation.

my 1st sgt was in the chamber with us, dude didnt even flinch.

[MrJme]

After the training It becomes a muscle reaction when you hear GAS, GAS, GAS.

[chrisemerson]

That is true! You experience that for the first time while in combat you'll probably think you're gonna die! But now you know you won't!

[bodhi-swayze]

I love the video where everyone is piling out with their noses running, tears in their eyes, coughing & then one guy just strolls out like it’s nothing! 😂

[robbogart]

The problem is some people are oblivious to the realities of life

[TheNamesGlitch]

As a corrections officer, being exposed to CS gas (tear gas) feels like breathing in sawdust and chili peppers. It's extremely effective at subduing someone, especially if they've never experienced it before.

[korbin]

Some people are immune to cs gas. Me I did it in basic it wasn't that bad. It sucked when it happens when you have to rip off the gas mask but looking back on it it wasn't as bad as it seems.

[bsilva]

I had to do it 3 times in the Navy. Once in boot camp, once in "A" school and once years later in an advanced CBR school. And none of them were outside.

[kenneth]

The point of the CS or tear gas chamber is for you to trust your gas mask or what we called the protective mask.

[michaeldiehl]

We all were sick until we went through, loved it

[johngenest]

100% correct, I went through this kind of training and it’s better to learn before going to a hot zone.
