Im wanting to be a SEAL again?

[Anonymous]

Im 26 almost 27. Was obsessed of becoming a seal for years. When I tried my anxiety disorder set in and tbh it makes me feel like a pussy. Im diagnosed which makes me seem even more like some pussy who can't handle his mental state. Anyways I started looking into it again. I did hike in 101 degree weather with 73% humidity when im just use to drinking and gaming. I didn't think I would've been able to do that but I did. That was last weekend. It kind of gave me some confidence.

I want to do it so bad but there are so many things I can't explain. I don't know what im asking exactly but I guess is should I try it?

I mean if you're diagnosed I think you'll probably have a hard time getting in, but if you're just looking for like the challenge or camaraderie of it there definitely other options.

But honestly it sounds like your current relationship with yourself and your mind might not be in the best state, so if you really want a challenge, I'd start with that. The mind is much harder to tackle than the body after all. The fact that your brain is built a bit different doesn't make you a "pussy" by any means, it mostly just means that your body isn't the best at managing its neurotransmitters and whatnot.

You don't need to prove anything, even if you feel like you do.

what do you want to achieve by this?

You're a little old and you need to be in peak physical condition. If you've been diagnosed with some kind of mental condition, you are probably 4F. You can't be out in the field getting shot at and have some kind of mental breakdown. You would be a danger to yourself and a big liability for your unit. Can you run 10 miles, do a bunch of pullups and pushups, climb ropes, be subjected to extreme physical and mental stress? It doesn't sound like the place for you.

First join the NAVY successfully. Once you have that and learned the ropes, you could tryout for the SEALs. I strongly suggest watching the available YouTube reports about them. The failure quota is huge.

it's not like you can just walk in... and become a SEAL

usually... it's military people on active duty that do apply to become SEALS

"drinking and gaming, anxiety riddled and I feel like a pussy" is not a good presentation either...

You are presently with the Service? If yes, I assume you will need a waiver with your current medical record. Anyway, if you can make into BUDS, worst case scenario is you ring the bell and get returned to your division.

Also, as far as your hike goes. Do that with at least a 50 lbs ruck in battle dress and plate carrier with plates starting with around a 14 mile wilderness hike in a day and graduating up to about 35 miles with 80 lbs. That is still under loaded but it will get you a little more used to traipsing in the shit and in lousy weather temps.

Don't do it my friend. Don't die for those who hate you.

There are a lot of requirements to even be considered remotely for selection let alone before you begin any type of training
