I remember being in the Marine Corps and chuckling to myself when my platoon leader, a 26 year old Staff SGT who had been married four times, tried to give me marital advice.
I was usmc infantry. I’ve been finding ways to work at home and be a stay at home dad since I got out. When my company commander asked if there was one thing to change that I would stay in, I said shorter deployments. Since I got out, his wife, the mother of his children, left him for the owner of the gym she goes to.
Quite interesting indeed, getting married these days are similar to service with the team's,as a bloke you stand a great chance of ending up with blue balls and a black Lab.
Average divorce rate in America is 50%. In the military its 75%, and in your Tier 2/1 units its upwards of 90%. It takes a special person to make the military a career, takes an even more special person to be married to that person.
Dude it’s like 30 percent in the military. What a dumb hyperbolic statement based on zero research or knowledge. It’s bad but not as bad as people think.
It's definitely hurtful to watch everywhere and everyday with everyone so quick to say to service members, Thank you for your service, but unilaterally that is where it stopped and the naturalness of human hypocracy step's in.
Actually that's a really good way to evaluate your own career path even if you are not a Navy SEAL. Look at the older folks who have been in your career/profession/path for a long time and see how their life is, how happy they are etc.
I was stationed in Alaska for 5 years. After another short summer came and went, my (now ex) wife got upset that I didn't go do anything with the kids. After listing all the Army nonsense I did that summer, she realized I never had an opportunity to do so, and a whole year had been taken from us. After 9 years of this, I got out, but I got out too late to keep my family intact. The military is not a life for everyone.
I remember being in highschool seeing other college graduates struggling to monetize their degrees. I avoided that entirely and learned how to monetize my skills. College is amazing if you're calculated about what you want to do with the education. The whole figure yourself out stuff is BS and I wouldn't touch that idea with a 10 foot pole. Learning to pivot is a skill worth honing in life. I respect anyone that can change their life for the better.
That and any far away construction jobs where there’s a lot of out of state travelers be like that . All you do is work, but saving your money and doing the right thing pays off in the long run the less time you have to be there.
I did roofing occasionally over a summer. What a fucking miserable experience. I decided to go back to high school to get my diploma where I was short 1 and a half credits I was working roofing to receive credit. I decided to go back on the same weekend the last crew I was on took about $200 off the $450 I earned that week as “van gas tax” Fuckers left me with $250. Another crew lead refused to pay me the $90 I made for a 13 hour day I spent with his crew until my dad threatened his ass for a check. It wasn’t even $90! Fuck roofing. I hate that shit and most dudes who do it. Racist, sexist, angry, drunk and drugged up assholes.
@@jeremylewis5551 agreed. I was in the CA ARNG as part of those 11 yrs. as an 11B. My son is serving now in the Infantry in a Guard unit. They are getting ready for deployment.
That’s the military life in general but especially Special Operations. Best way to do it is join right out of high school, spend one or two tours on active duty then transfer to the reserves or national guard. Then get married and have a family.
@@jackjack4412 army special forces has a minimum age requirement of 20 years old. So find something to occupy your time from when you graduate hs to 20
what about chadd from the 3 of 7 project on TH-cam. he’s very straight forward and respectful and tells a lot of good stories. I believe he was in charge/leader of seal team 10 at one point. he’s a smaller youtuber still figuring out TH-cam but worth a watch
For the record, most of them are divorced... not unmarried... and they don't know their kids because the Navy won't allow enlisted to have shared custody of their children. The depend-o-potamus always gets full custody because it is correctly assumed that a man in the service would be required to place his duty to his country before his duty to his children.
Not even solitude, they spend all their free time and money doing cool sht with the amazing friends they made in the armed forces. I'd kill to be able to join something like that
@@sicksballsdeep2922 lol no he's right. The reason people like being single is because you get to spend your time and your money on yourself the way you want to. When you are dating someone or you are married that doesn't happen.
@@NinjaSushi2 I can understand that, but solitude and single are two completely different things. If you leave a mind alone with itself for too long it will begin to lose itself.
Nothing gives you a perspective like facing death does. Last year I had a near death experience and I finally got into therapy, something I delayed for SIX FKN YEARS
I come home to a black lab every night. Not married yet, no kids. Want a family one day. I wouldn’t say I’m lonely at all. Don’t think I’ve ever felt lonely. Maybe missed people but not lonely. I’m rich in friends and family, and meet girls out and about. I’m 32. It’s good to be a dude. Don’t have to worry about time. And you become more attractive to women of all ages as you age as a dude.
I live in a seal community the guys are never home esp the devgru and sdv guys. The older ones who are late 30s look like they are in there late 40s. The amount of stress on there bodies is riduclous
Alcoholic skid-row look-alikes. All weather-beaten, skin bad ,unhealthy looking. I've seen it too. I thought it was bad nutrition ,lack of hydration ,and all the inoculations they get ,but I don't know.
He’s exactly right they go from 19 yr old boy to 40 yr old manly man in seals. I worked with them, for them overseas and they where some of the coolest down to earth men you’d ever meet. I was army infantry in Iraq but one of our details was guarding a seals fob in Iraq. Fn sucked. Lol I went to infantry school/ basic for that shit!
Agreed I like Shawn Ryan one of my role models but I don't know about his right here I know people in marriage that tell me they literally regret it as far as wanting kids he has a point there
I left SF nearly similar circumstances, 2 years in, these senior sergeants were hard asses, too hard, ice, they didn't feel didn't fear,tunnel vision they could literally slit your throat having a sandwich and never think twice, i could feel that happening, I prefer emotions, so I returned to the Rgr Rgmt ... they're hard but human ... you wouldn't believe the disconnect with Seals, SF , Delta, Raiders (though marines in general are disconnected, lol) god blessem, we need them. It was just a toll I didn't want to pay personally.
That is some extreme insight i havent heard before regarding rangers being a bit more human. My man how was your time in the regiment. I want to be among the elite but the choice of sf or ranger is some say there more creativitiy in sf and the skills to be learned can really translate to civil world and because rgmt is so... well regimented. I just want to be among hard charging warriors who love the grind, not a group that is self obssessed and self inflicting (the gb that was killed by his teammates, exessive hazing and drinking). I want the guys who love lacing the boots up everyday and know that no one can compete with their energy. Ive done blue collar my whole life and every company is filled with just... bitchers and complainers. Is rgmt for me?
@Thleta I'll be honest, nothing translates back to the civilian side, regardless of what bs they sell. I was an airborne ranger medic, then 18d sf med spec ... I'm nothing medical on the civie side, the emt national registry, useless, every state has their own registration and certification, and to qualify for life flight ... I'd have had to go back to school, paramedic is a 18 month to 2 yr program ... maybe as a combat engineer you can come out and go in as a surveyor tech ... but even the full on surveyors require certificates, and apprenticeship, so be aware. Be cautious. As for your original question, Rangers are the most deployed, the most utilized in the spec ops community because they can be deployed by the Army, the DOD, JSOC, ETC... they're the go-to guys for operational flexibility, "officially" Seals, MARSOC, Special Forces are only deployable by an act of congress, presidential directive or by NATO ...
Speaking facts. After 8years in the Australian army. I decided it wasn't fair for me to want a family and still be in. So i left the next year i got married and 12months after we had our first child. Life is amazing right now.
If you get married thinking it's going to have an end date before death you should stay away. You don't understand the fundamental principle of marriage in that you're not your own you belong to somebody. And that goes both ways and it's a lifelong desire to do just that. To become one with someone else.
Divorced at 45 after 20 yrs of biting my tongue and staying my hand. She came back wanting another chance 3 yrs later I said hell NO! 53 now and no desire to let a woman screw my life up again.
@@lukeskywalker650 Just having FWB’s is MUCH better!!!! HOWEVER, you do have to watch if they catch feelings 🤦🏾♂️!!!! That, from experiences (2 of them), cab suck in a way!!!!
Marriage is the greatest thing on earth! Been married 18 years with my wife 21 years and I'm 39. Just be a caring, loving, and faithful husband and you'll have a happily submissive loving wife
I to climbed towers for 2.5 years and felt the same way. I’m 21 and couldn’t end up divorced , addicted to drugs, and climbing towers every morning for a job never seeing loved ones sleeping in hotels every night. Had to get outta that shit
The REAL reason was that the private sector paid a LOT more than the army. That is very smart. Either way he done his duty and more. Too bad we don't have more like him.
That was the main reason I dropped from spec ops selection. I had a very serious girlfriend at the time who’s now my wife and we have two kids but just getting there I noticed a trend with the cadre and instructors within weeks and it was exactly this. As much as I wanted to be in spec ops I didn’t wanna throw away a future with a family to be there. Call me uncommitted, call me a coward, whatever. I chose to have a family and I still served.
Did 16 years in Special Forces , the older SF guys who served in Vietnam told me about missing their kids grow up. I thought they were weak but they were right.
Coming home to a black lab - free from all the problems and responsibilities that a family brings - can be enjoyable and liberating. As with everything - it’s mostly what you make it.
100%. When I was considering re-upong, Best team daddy I ever had told me, “When you’re on your deathbed, it’s not gonna be a green hat at your bedside. It’s gonna be your family!”
I like the fact that he learned from others what to do and what not do as far as career progression. I used the same thought process and observed that many of the Seals were getting out at 12 or 15 years, bodies destroyed, suffering from alcoholism or depression. I decided to not submit my package for BUD/S, take the promotion to E6 and reenlistment bonus, earn a tour in Italy, and be happy. Now I'm ten years in currently assigned as combat support for NSW East. After taking a hard, up close look I realized I made the right call in not going for the Trident or SWCC device. It's not just a job, but rather a lifestyle.
Don’t knock being independent. Having a family isn’t a guarantee to happiness. I’ve been a hairdresser since 95’, and folks with families aren’t happier than me. They lose themselves sometimes. They complain a lot. Marry with love and blessings. But it’s a whole new set of trials, none of which are a guarantee of living with a sense of fulfillment.
The military gave me fulfillment, but I had a job where people came to me and asked me if I could help. That's a huge difference from being ordered to do something. Also, I had to forgive my wife to find happiness with her.
I was just a 24 staff puke when I noticed the same thing. We’d go to the NTC and come back in busses. 200 officers. Only one guy and his wife hugged like it meant more than a handshake. That was just my last straw
Very true. I've met a lot of sf dudes who were in for so long that they didn't even have normal shit. I knew dudes who were contractors that had a studio apartment with a bed and a dresser and that was it. Like they were gone so often they didnt have much of a home
I used to be a mobile notary and one of my clients was a special boat squad commando recently retired. In the middle of signing a refinance document he whips off his shirt and shows me 4 AK-47 bullet wounds one of which was right above his heart so I'm not sure why he was still alive but there he was. So I understand why he quit who wants to go on suicide missions for a government that does more harm than good?
Ive noticed this with people in regular job/ careers. They are just so lonely and there way to connect with others is through drinking at a bar. I'm only 22 and i see it. They have the money though, just not the girls
I'd been in the military for almost 7 years. I filled the paperwork and started prepping for selection a little over a year prior to the end of my contract and was already wondering if I was gonna sign another or not. By the time I finished my prep camp and was heading to selection I had met this girl and we hanged together every minutes we had (during weekends). I would drive 3 hours every weekend to see her. Did my selection in the last 7 months of my contact. After 5 days and half the people cut, I woke up and went to the marching NCO and told him I'm done. My reasons were pretty much the same. Marching NCO was in his 40s and was "sleeping" on camp. Warrant officer was in his 50s and single and sleeping in his office. That's when I realized that I wanted a family and kids. I'm now a veteran since last year and living with my girl. (But I sometimes miss it a little ain't gonna lie)
Very smart decision, about leaving the Seal Team. There’s only so much one person can do. There are only so many hours in a day. It’s time you take care of yourself. Do what you want to do. Do what will make you happy. You matter. You’ll never forget your experience, you’ll never forget your colleagues, many of whom will be your friends for your entire lifetime. Embrace this. It’s your time to go do your thing.?
😂 Exactly sounds like 90% of my SNCO's and Officers. Either retreads, divorced, paying child support, or alone sad. I glad I got out. I can actually raise my daughter and be a husband. Enjoyed my service but I had to make a decision the Corps or my family.
@@Generichjm exactly this guy's wife definitely had that ultimatum talk with him and said it's either me or the seals and in his weakness he picked her. she doesn't even have a clue as to the level or sacrifice he had made to be a seal and instead of sticking beside him through the hard times she convinced him to throw his dream and seal family away for her. sad to see this man disrespect the seals instead of praising them for doing something that he couldnt.
I used to work with SEALs and became life long friends with a few. Right now, it's not the same for the newer guys as it was for the older guys. Most guys that have joined a team after 2016 haven't even seen combat till this day. They train hard for 6 months, go on deployment for 6 months, then pretty much chill for 6 months. Their deployments are almost like a vacation. But you still see divorces and a lot of them just want to mess around and never settle down.
It depends on where you go and what kind of mission you are on. My son-in-law went on a mission, came home, and went on another for 6 months after only being back for 6 weeks.
That is so true that's why I left. I wasn't an operator. I was in aviator Always gone I had my Jeep and my black lab. Someone was always babysitting my big bird dog. Everyone else was broken up families from long deployments. Personally the old days of putting in the chit for permission to get married should be reinstituted.
I had those thoughts as a teenager about my 3 older brothers… Mid to late 20s & 1 in his early 30s… No family, no career job, living with a parent, and doing fxck all with there lives… That motivation & insight led to me being 21 years old & having more financial stability then all 3 of them already.. I’m a trucker now & have already seen 41 states so far. I’m 22 years old now & I haven’t got the family yet… but im more ready for it then all my older brothers are & that means something to me…🙏🏻
This describes my exit 100%. He forgot to say that everyone he knew in high ranks were balding, graying, and aging at an increased rate. I knew senior/master chief's in their 40s looking 60+ easy. Hell nah bruh
The green berets i was with we’re older and had wives and children. They may have been a rare group, but they were exceptional guys. They made newsletters every week and sent them back home to their family. We didn’t always have time or cell service to call back home, so the newsletters acted as another method of communication. The community prefers you have a wife and kids, because at the end of the day, that’s who you’re doing this for.
Than joins the c.i.a. wants a family. Going from S.E.A.L.s to C.I.A. is not the right path to starting a family The powers that be. " LIKE " SOME PEOPLE BETTER. A person who is in a nursing home with a mild stroke CAN'T JUST GO BACK TO WORK.
Most people don't consider the second half of their life when they're young. Yeah it's easy being alone when you're in your 20's and 30's. But what will your 50's and 60's and beyond look like? A lot of your friends will have families, and you'll notice your joints are hurting and you can't be as active as you once were and any money you have saved - you'll wish you had it when you were younger.
@@nifoob977 surprise, relationships aren't a magical gateway for happiness like everyone in the comments seems to think. Not everyone gets a fairytale ending
I joined the navy in 2002 I had served 4 years active duty. I joined with the intention of never getting married and never having kids. I got married and had 1 child, that changed my whole perspective 😢
After six years in the navy I looked at all the E-7's and E-8's and saw a bunch of 30 to 40 year olds who were bitter alcoholic men who looked like they were 60 to 70 years old multiple marriages and divorces and said to myself "I have to do better for myself than this"
My fish eating, ball bouncing son-in-law married a Marine. I have three great grandkids. They've been married 10 years & he said, you must love me & she replied, no I just found out process servers refuse to go to war zones. 🤣
Same, not doing it in the us though where the education is just a filter for future working drones and prison inmates, or where the woman are neurotic and narcissistic and ACTIVELY seek to destroy the family (divorce). Im going to coastal paradise in Aruba or the Philippines and working remotely might be a dentist there, I’ll see how it goes.
Let me just say objectively. Any career worth pursuing will cost you the long hours outlined in this video as reasons to quit. This is just a short video and I’m certainly not judging, but just think about what any “success” costs and be prepared to pay that price. Thank you for your service!
Sounds like me, except I’m happy. No kids no wife but the sad thing is my Black Lab Mena died 😕. I have Saffron the Australian Shepard but she’s not the same as Mena. Mena was the best dog and friend you could ever need. Don’t tell saffron that.
True. The kind of life that gets glorified in the movies isnt really a good life. I mean would you really want to live like one of the Expendables? I like to watch John Wick movies. I dont want to LIVE in a John Wick movie.
That’s a good life for me. I don’t need any wife or children. I just want to spend my time alone studying or training and fighting life-death situations. I am not depressed but this is no doubt the best career for me right now as a 19 year old. Plus I don’t need to see my toxic family, what a great deal.
@@ozz3790 Yeah. I guess I am childish and even plain stupid. But this is the only thing that has a probability of giving me a slight bit of happiness. Friends, family, and everyone else in the world. I don’t feel any slightest happiness of being around them. If this childish dream that I almost threw away can make me see at least a tiny spark of light in this hopeless world. Then I’ll take that chance. I understand the video of what the former navy seal is trying to portray, but I couldn’t care less of the desolation, loneliness, coldness, or pain that I will suffer. It isn’t as painful as what I have been through.

This guy, like a lot of the guys in this current generation, wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

You can’t mix family with the lifestyle it takes to be a warrior.

True word
I remember being in highschool seeing other college graduates struggling to monetize their degrees. I avoided that entirely and learned how to monetize my skills. College is amazing if you're calculated about what you want to do with the education. The whole figure yourself out stuff is BS and I wouldn't touch that idea with a 10 foot pole. Learning to pivot is a skill worth honing in life. I respect anyone that can change their life for the better.

This is why I quit Roofing lol and everybody was on drugs
That and any far away construction jobs where there’s a lot of out of state travelers be like that . All you do is work, but saving your money and doing the right thing pays off in the long run the less time you have to be there.
I did roofing occasionally over a summer. What a fucking miserable experience. I decided to go back to high school to get my diploma where I was short 1 and a half credits I was working roofing to receive credit.
I decided to go back on the same weekend the last crew I was on took about $200 off the $450 I earned that week as “van gas tax”
Fuckers left me with $250. Another crew lead refused to pay me the $90 I made for a 13 hour day I spent with his crew until my dad threatened his ass for a check. It wasn’t even $90!
Fuck roofing. I hate that shit and most dudes who do it. Racist, sexist, angry, drunk and drugged up assholes.
So you're saying they were all "high"?
Guy compared roofing to a SEAL team. Peak delusion.
Roofing ? Kid get the fuck out of here
Don’t disrespect an operator like this
The guys that left Delta said the same thing.
I was just regular US Army infantry and that was one of the reasons why I got out.
Even reserves or national guard can be a hardship on family. They don't even get the financial reliability of active.

That’s the military life in general but especially Special Operations. Best way to do it is join right out of high school, spend one or two tours on active duty then transfer to the reserves or national guard. Then get married and have a family.

9 guys outta 10 grow up faster in the army. That's true
For the record, most of them are divorced... not unmarried... and they don't know their kids because the Navy won't allow enlisted to have shared custody of their children. The depend-o-potamus always gets full custody because it is correctly assumed that a man in the service would be required to place his duty to his country before his duty to his children.
Not everyone wants a wife and kids. Some people really enjoy and thrive in solitude.
Not even solitude, they spend all their free time and money doing cool sht with the amazing friends they made in the armed forces. I'd kill to be able to join something like that

I come home to a black lab every night. Not married yet, no kids. Want a family one day. I wouldn’t say I’m lonely at all. Don’t think I’ve ever felt lonely. Maybe missed people but not lonely. I’m rich in friends and family, and meet girls out and about. I’m 32. It’s good to be a dude. Don’t have to worry about time. And you become more attractive to women of all ages as you age as a dude.
*Anyone else randomly started watching shorts and now it’s just a everyday thing!?*
I live in a seal community the guys are never home esp the devgru and sdv guys. The older ones who are late 30s look like they are in there late 40s. The amount of stress on there bodies is riduclous
Alcoholic skid-row look-alikes. All weather-beaten, skin bad ,unhealthy looking. I've seen it too.
I thought it was bad nutrition ,lack of hydration ,and all the inoculations they get ,but I don't know.
You haven't been married long enough! I love coming home to my black beautiful daisy 💕
I do too! She's wonderful.
He’s exactly right they go from 19 yr old boy to 40 yr old manly man in seals. I worked with them, for them overseas and they where some of the coolest down to earth men you’d ever meet. I was army infantry in Iraq but one of our details was guarding a seals fob in Iraq. Fn sucked. Lol I went to infantry school/ basic for that shit!
Shit I rather cry in my Lamborghini with my black lab staring at me. These older men have warned me about marriage 😆 🤣 😂.

I left SF nearly similar circumstances, 2 years in, these senior sergeants were hard asses, too hard, ice, they didn't feel didn't fear,tunnel vision they could literally slit your throat having a sandwich and never think twice, i could feel that happening, I prefer emotions, so I returned to the Rgr Rgmt ... they're hard but human ... you wouldn't believe the disconnect with Seals, SF , Delta, Raiders (though marines in general are disconnected, lol) god blessem, we need them. It was just a toll I didn't want to pay personally.
That is some extreme insight i havent heard before regarding rangers being a bit more human. My man how was your time in the regiment. I want to be among the elite but the choice of sf or ranger is some say there more creativitiy in sf and the skills to be learned can really translate to civil world and because rgmt is so... well regimented. I just want to be among hard charging warriors who love the grind, not a group that is self obssessed and self inflicting (the gb that was killed by his teammates, exessive hazing and drinking). I want the guys who love lacing the boots up everyday and know that no one can compete with their energy. Ive done blue collar my whole life and every company is filled with just... bitchers and complainers. Is rgmt for me?
@Thleta I'll be honest, nothing translates back to the civilian side, regardless of what bs they sell. I was an airborne ranger medic, then 18d sf med spec ... I'm nothing medical on the civie side, the emt national registry, useless, every state has their own registration and certification, and to qualify for life flight ... I'd have had to go back to school, paramedic is a 18 month to 2 yr program ... maybe as a combat engineer you can come out and go in as a surveyor tech ... but even the full on surveyors require certificates, and apprenticeship, so be aware. Be cautious. As for your original question, Rangers are the most deployed, the most utilized in the spec ops community because they can be deployed by the Army, the DOD, JSOC, ETC... they're the go-to guys for operational flexibility, "officially" Seals, MARSOC, Special Forces are only deployable by an act of congress, presidential directive or by NATO ...
Speaking facts. After 8years in the Australian army. I decided it wasn't fair for me to want a family and still be in. So i left the next year i got married and 12months after we had our first child. Life is amazing right now.

The problem was, he didn’t stay hard.
Never marry without a prenup gentleman. It's a fools errand.
Prenups are not bulletproof, don't get married in the modern Western world full stop. Check out Rich Cooper here on yt
If you get married thinking it's going to have an end date before death you should stay away. You don't understand the fundamental principle of marriage in that you're not your own you belong to somebody. And that goes both ways and it's a lifelong desire to do just that. To become one with someone else.
Please look at some actual court documents and quit trying to incite fear into men. Like do you want all the guys to be lonely old fucks?
Lol a prenup is the stupidest thing. It's like your planning on breaking up

@@GodGunsGillsYour experience isn't universal. I swear people like you never think beyond your own experiences
I to climbed towers for 2.5 years and felt the same way. I’m 21 and couldn’t end up divorced , addicted to drugs, and climbing towers every morning for a job never seeing loved ones sleeping in hotels every night. Had to get outta that shit
The REAL reason was that the private sector paid a LOT more than the army. That is very smart. Either way he done his duty and more. Too bad we don't have more like him.
That was the main reason I dropped from spec ops selection. I had a very serious girlfriend at the time who’s now my wife and we have two kids but just getting there I noticed a trend with the cadre and instructors within weeks and it was exactly this. As much as I wanted to be in spec ops I didn’t wanna throw away a future with a family to be there. Call me uncommitted, call me a coward, whatever. I chose to have a family and I still served.
You made the right choice 😊
I call you a smart and wise man my friend!!!!!!
Did 16 years in Special Forces , the older SF guys who served in Vietnam told me about missing their kids grow up. I thought they were weak but they were right.
Coming home to a black lab - free from all the problems and responsibilities that a family brings - can be enjoyable and liberating. As with everything - it’s mostly what you make it.
100%. When I was considering re-upong, Best team daddy I ever had told me, “When you’re on your deathbed, it’s not gonna be a green hat at your bedside. It’s gonna be your family!”
Damn that’s facts. Die for your family not some bullshit
I like the fact that he learned from others what to do and what not do as far as career progression. I used the same thought process and observed that many of the Seals were getting out at 12 or 15 years, bodies destroyed, suffering from alcoholism or depression. I decided to not submit my package for BUD/S, take the promotion to E6 and reenlistment bonus, earn a tour in Italy, and be happy. Now I'm ten years in currently assigned as combat support for NSW East. After taking a hard, up close look I realized I made the right call in not going for the Trident or SWCC device. It's not just a job, but rather a lifestyle.
Don’t knock being independent. Having a family isn’t a guarantee to happiness. I’ve been a hairdresser since 95’, and folks with families aren’t happier than me. They lose themselves sometimes. They complain a lot. Marry with love and blessings. But it’s a whole new set of trials, none of which are a guarantee of living with a sense of fulfillment.
The military gave me fulfillment, but I had a job where people came to me and asked me if I could help. That's a huge difference from being ordered to do something. Also, I had to forgive my wife to find happiness with her.
Finally some honesty on the life badass lonely I’ll take normal life and live it up some guys love it tho
I was just a 24 staff puke when I noticed the same thing. We’d go to the NTC and come back in busses. 200 officers. Only one guy and his wife hugged like it meant more than a handshake. That was just my last straw
Very true. I've met a lot of sf dudes who were in for so long that they didn't even have normal shit. I knew dudes who were contractors that had a studio apartment with a bed and a dresser and that was it. Like they were gone so often they didnt have much of a home
I used to be a mobile notary and one of my clients was a special boat squad commando recently retired. In the middle of signing a refinance document he whips off his shirt and shows me 4 AK-47 bullet wounds one of which was right above his heart so I'm not sure why he was still alive but there he was. So I understand why he quit who wants to go on suicide missions for a government that does more harm than good?
Ive noticed this with people in regular job/ careers. They are just so lonely and there way to connect with others is through drinking at a bar. I'm only 22 and i see it. They have the money though, just not the girls
I don’t why but when he said “Most of em come home to a black lab” that made me crack up lol
Cause it’s true bro just like truckers 😂
Made the same choice. Left 3rd ranger battalion at 23. Hardest choice at the time. But looking back to your points it was definitely the best choice
I'd been in the military for almost 7 years. I filled the paperwork and started prepping for selection a little over a year prior to the end of my contract and was already wondering if I was gonna sign another or not. By the time I finished my prep camp and was heading to selection I had met this girl and we hanged together every minutes we had (during weekends). I would drive 3 hours every weekend to see her. Did my selection in the last 7 months of my contact. After 5 days and half the people cut, I woke up and went to the marching NCO and told him I'm done. My reasons were pretty much the same. Marching NCO was in his 40s and was "sleeping" on camp. Warrant officer was in his 50s and single and sleeping in his office. That's when I realized that I wanted a family and kids. I'm now a veteran since last year and living with my girl. (But I sometimes miss it a little ain't gonna lie)
Same reason I left the infantry. You don’t have to be special ops. It’s just the life of a warrior.
Very smart decision, about leaving the Seal Team. There’s only so much one person can do. There are only so many hours in a day. It’s time you take care of yourself. Do what you want to do. Do what will make you happy. You matter. You’ll never forget your experience, you’ll never forget your colleagues, many of whom will be your friends for your entire lifetime. Embrace this. It’s your time to go do your thing.?
😂 Exactly sounds like 90% of my SNCO's and Officers. Either retreads, divorced, paying child support, or alone sad. I glad I got out. I can actually raise my daughter and be a husband. Enjoyed my service but I had to make a decision the Corps or my family.

@@Generichjm exactly this guy's wife definitely had that ultimatum talk with him and said it's either me or the seals and in his weakness he picked her. she doesn't even have a clue as to the level or sacrifice he had made to be a seal and instead of sticking beside him through the hard times she convinced him to throw his dream and seal family away for her. sad to see this man disrespect the seals instead of praising them for doing something that he couldnt.
He went to the cia how is that throwing away dreams seems to have had a dream of having a family seems better than a title in my opinion cia seems ok
It was him being in the NAVY that TAUGHT him the VALUE of FAMILY
I used to work with SEALs and became life long friends with a few. Right now, it's not the same for the newer guys as it was for the older guys. Most guys that have joined a team after 2016 haven't even seen combat till this day. They train hard for 6 months, go on deployment for 6 months, then pretty much chill for 6 months. Their deployments are almost like a vacation. But you still see divorces and a lot of them just want to mess around and never settle down.

It depends on where you go and what kind of mission you are on. My son-in-law went on a mission, came home, and went on another for 6 months after only being back for 6 weeks.

I wasn't an operator.
I was in aviator
Always gone I had my Jeep and my black lab.
Someone was always babysitting my big bird dog.
Everyone else was broken up families from long deployments.
Personally the old days of putting in the chit for permission to get married should be reinstituted.
I had those thoughts as a teenager about my 3 older brothers… Mid to late 20s & 1 in his early 30s… No family, no career job, living with a parent, and doing fxck all with there lives… That motivation & insight led to me being 21 years old & having more financial stability then all 3 of them already.. I’m a trucker now & have already seen 41 states so far. I’m 22 years old now & I haven’t got the family yet… but im more ready for it then all my older brothers are & that means something to me…🙏🏻
This describes my exit 100%. He forgot to say that everyone he knew in high ranks were balding, graying, and aging at an increased rate. I knew senior/master chief's in their 40s looking 60+ easy. Hell nah bruh
He is literally bald
But what about 4:30 am hustle culture?
You can still do that even when you’re not in the military
I sacrificed my career to raise 4 beautiful kids
The green berets i was with we’re older and had wives and children. They may have been a rare group, but they were exceptional guys. They made newsletters every week and sent them back home to their family. We didn’t always have time or cell service to call back home, so the newsletters acted as another method of communication. The community prefers you have a wife and kids, because at the end of the day, that’s who you’re doing this for.
Than joins the c.i.a. wants a family. Going from S.E.A.L.s to C.I.A. is not the right path to starting a family

Most people don't consider the second half of their life when they're young. Yeah it's easy being alone when you're in your 20's and 30's. But what will your 50's and 60's and beyond look like?
