How are more Marines SEALs if you have to be in the NAVY to try out for BUD/s.

Where the fuck do people hear this bullshit?

@Reaction92 marines transfer to another branch-------NAVY

@Reaction92 Look again sir,...

[Reaction92]

@juanitto4700 When I was at the Marine office they showed me the book of where Marine Spec Ops train to hone their skills. Guess what wasn't listed, BUD/s. Why would the Marines or MARSOC waste so much money on training an individual just to be considered apart of another branch's programs? By the way, the recruiter proceeded to tell me "Marines can't be SEALs.. You have to be in the N A V Y"

@Reaction92 Please do your homework before you comment, the Marines are the one branch that can cross train into any SF programs such as the Rangers and SEAL/s. The Marines are actaully a sub branch of the Navy in fact.

So you don't HAVE to be in the Navy per-say, to be a SEAL. It's kind of a yes and no type of answer.

@ismellleaksmoke just go look it up

@TheModificatioNation You're only going to argue about the capitalization? But why not about the time difference? Ah, I know, because I'm right..

I'm not arguing about that, I'm TELLING you. The correct way is "BUD/s" not "buds". Get it right next time.

@ismellleaksmoke anyone who insults someone else's capitolization obviously has nothing better to say, and are you trying to tell me extra weight doesnt slow you down?

[ismellleaksmoke]

@TheModificatioNation Bahahahaha 4:45 a MILE? That right there, sir, is hilarious. Seriously. These "kids" would need to SPRINT for a WHOLE MILE to achieve something like that.

Also, it's "BUD/s" not "buds". Spell it correctly next time. And sand and boots slow them down? I've done the 4 mile run in boots, with a ruck sack on IN sand. I came in 29:30, and I'm 15. I doubt it slows you down, the only thing that slows you down if your will to quit.

@bigdahhwg That entire thing is just layered with bullshit. Bullshit after bullshit after bullshit.

Anyway, man. Your stories don't impress me. Let's just end it now and save yourself from further embarrassment.

@ismellleaksmoke in 5th grade i ran my mile in 5:14. I was number 2 in our state tho at the time for UIL. Olympic runners run in the low 4 minute range man. its very believable. My girlfriend from highschool ran a 4:54 during state her freshman year. look it up. Sarah Andrews, Texas. She runs for oregon now lol.
