 Having been kicked out of Buds, Remy returned to life as a corpsman, this time assigned to a Marine infantry unit. Instead of feeling defeated, however, he saw his failure as a lesson and was determined to return to training. Because I had the mental toughness piece already nailed down, I needed to get humility and I also needed to grow as a man. You know, I also needed to learn from my failures and then also learn that a failure is only a failure if you don't learn from it but if you learn from it, it's a lesson. I needed to get that lesson, you know, out of that, out of getting kicked out of steel training and I'm so grateful for it because I applied that lesson today as a husband, as a father, as a businessman. You know, I run a couple different businesses and I'm applying the lessons from getting kicked out of steel training the first time to now, you know, so yeah. After a year and a half with the Marines, Remy returned to Buds, starting all over again from day one. This time, with the lessons he learned, he graduated and earned his steel trident. There were two feelings. There was one of, I was grateful. Like at that point it was just like I was humble and I was grateful because I was just like, man, it wasn't like, yeah, I made it, look at me, you know. Me getting kicked out of Buds the first time dealt with that. That part of it, right? At this point it was like, I'm grateful. I'm grateful to be here. That was one feeling I had, the next feeling I had was I'm ready to get to work. Like making it through Buds is nothing, right? You know, every seal has made it through Buds. Like it's actually getting to a platoon and doing the work, you know. And so for me, you know, I was just eager. I was just like a cage pit bull, you know, who had been in a cage for like 10 years and not fed and I'm ready to get out and eat something, right? Like I was just ready to get to work and do the job of a seal and not just walk around with a trident on my chest. So that was the feeling of that. Remy acted as his platoon's medic, utilizing his background as a corpsman as well as doing intelligence gathering. You know, I had a great time in the seal, too. And then the best part about it for me was the guys, you know, working with the best guys on the planet, you know, through legends, you know, legends and just rolling with them out the door and just being a part of a unit that personifies excellence, you know, and everybody's challenging everybody to be the best and to do the best. I don't think I'll ever have that experience anywhere outside of the seal teams, you know. So, yeah. During his time in the teams, having completed three deployments, Remy discovered being a seal also helped him confront past childhood trauma he experienced as a victim of bullying growing up in the Bronx. I saw a lot of bullying, you know. I was bullied. You know, I was jumped. I was beat up and, you know, and I saw people get picked on. I saw there were times where I would see one person get beat up by six people, you know, go and walk them back from school. And I always despise that. And that's why, you know, I never got involved in the gangs because to me, gangs, all gang members were cowards, you know what I mean? Like, it needs to be seven of you to beat on one person. That's not a manly. That's not hard. You're a coward. And so, I hated bullies. And so, one of the reasons, another reason why I wanted to be a seal is because I wanted to go after bullies. I wanted to go after those people who picked on the weak, who picked on those who can't protect themselves. I wanted to be the one who could knock on their door and just be like, hey, you're talking all that junk on the camera. You're picking on all these people. You're killing these people. Do it to me. Like, here I am, what you got to say now. And so, I loved that aspect of the job. And it fulfilled me because, you know, here I was, you know, having come from this environment where I saw a lot of people picked on and jumped. And now being able to take that and be the person standing in the gap, that meant a lot to me. In 2016, now married and a father of two young boys, Remy decided it was time to leave the Navy and the demanding life of being a seal behind to focus on being a father, something he missed due to his own father passing away when he was young. He enrolled in college using his GI bill, but didn't know what he wanted to do with his life after school. Then, he got a phone call that changed everything.
