Early on in our hell week we had so many people quit | Navy SEAL Jonathan Allen #usmilitary #usa

In hell week of BUD/S training, students face an intense, non-stop barrage of physical and mental challenges. Lasting from Sunday to Friday, Hell Week pushes students to their limits, testing their resolve, teamwork, and survival skills. During this grueling period, students endure continuous training exercises, day and night, with minimal sleep and food, including obstacle courses, swimming, and running in harsh conditions. They also participate in simulated combat scenarios, survival training, and team-building exercises, all designed to break down individual egos and forge unbreakable bonds among teammates.

Instructors constantly harass and test students, forcing them to work together, rely on each other, and make quick decisions under pressure. The purpose of Hell Week is to identify students with the mental and physical toughness required for SEAL training, develop teamwork and leadership skills, simulate the stresses of combat and special operations, and prepare students for the challenges of advanced training. Only those who demonstrate exceptional resilience, determination, and teamwork make it through Hell Week, earning the right to continue their SEAL training. The dropout rate is staggering, with 70-80% of students typically dropping out before Hell Week, and 20-30% failing during the week itself, leaving fewer than 20% of the initial BUD/S class size to complete training.

Ive obviously not done navy seal train but im in the army so i can give a little input on this type of training. You just get use to it and try to adapt to the lack of sleep and try to survive as it is a survival on the exercise/course you just cant let your mind win.

[jabsubabahavh]

They always talk about quiters but im pretty aure most people get dropped because of medical or performance. Ive talked to a few drops and they all agree the instructors determine who gets through not the evaluations.

If u dont mind it dont matter.

I dont mind so YOU dont matter!!!😅😂
Instructors would yell that at me at different schools.

Fun fact basic training storys are considered small hat in terms of army stories since literally everyone done the same thing

[johnwebster]

I have often wondered who has more endurance at longevity of no sleep, seals or truck drivers

I have often wondered who has more endurance at going without sleep special forces or truck drivers

Maybe, it's called duress when they quit. What's the point?

[frankedgar]

I was amazed when people would show up for specialty schools and quit on the first day or within 2-3 days. Why didn’t you get into shape physically and mentally before wasting everyone’s time and our tax payer’s dollars. Ranger, Airborne, sapper, OCS. Come on. Either you’re a warrior or you’re a REMF.

He doesn’t remember what the stages were called… bro, we get it… you’re a badass. But this attitude is comical. Especially when I was standing right next to you.
