Any seal would take Michael Phelps to the middle of the pool and have his way with him....catching him could be a problem...

Um, no

Uh yes, if and I only mean IF he could catch Phelps he'd kill him no problem. These guys are almost not human.

Re: navy seal requiremnets

Um no, Phelps is not human - if you took the top athletes - say the DB's and WR's - and they trained properly - they would waltz through military program - don't get me wrong - these military guys are good at what they do but they've gotten to where they are through training - the top athletes in this country were born gifted and then trained to excel - I can assure you any top athlete in this country could be a Navy seal as long as they could make the committment - and any top athlete could kick the shit out of any Navy seal 8 days a week

The part about trained properly was never mentioned regarding Michael Phelps. It was if you put them both in a pool what would happen and if you did that right now I guarantee you Phelps would be killed.

Also, sure this is about physical ability but most of this training is about mental toughness and the ability to withstand the worst of the worst conditions and pain.

If you don't think these Special Ops guys lift weights or are in as good as condition as any top athlete then you are mistaken. Some of them are very large individuals that in a prior life were pretty good athletes.

And another thing, nobody walks through the BUDS program. Nobody can just walk in and become a SEAL. It just doesn't happen. There's a reason very few graduate and just because you're a professional athlete doesn't mean they'll make it. It's not for everyone. I would consider Colt McCoy (for example) a top athlete and I don't think there's a way in hell he makes it through BUDS.

Dude these guys jumped from the air and parachuted into the ocean right? Shot sniper off the back of a moving ship in rough seas at a boat that was intow behind them. And shot them in the night with each one only needing one shot, you tell me who the athlete is? You figure most athletes are on the down side at 30......these guys are not even near that.

Not only that Ball but they had to have shot them within seconds of each other and from 75 yards away. That is one hell of a mission but hell, I'm sure Pedro Martinez could've done that.

Re: navy seal requiremnets

seals are the baddest motherfuckers around. the hottest chick i've ever seen was hanging on me at a bar in san diego; i thought i was king vitamin until a guy in the bathroom told me she was a seal's wife. i paid my tab & left without a word.

if she'd been a pro athlete's wife i'd have been bragging about banging her; as it was i literally laid low for weeks & hoped i never saw her again.

seals aren't just badasses physically, they're crazy.

as soon as this hostage situation broke out in somalia, i wondered how long it would be before the seals fixed it, one way or another.

I participated in a training exercise in the Baltic Sea one time that included SEALS and other countrie's special forces. The scenario was that a ferry boat with 50 or so passengers had been hijacked and the SEALS were to retake the boat.

The water was near freezing and the boat was going about 60 MPH and all of a sudden the boat was stormed by some of the biggest bad asses I'd ever seen. These guys came up on dingys and climbed up the side of the boat going that fast and in that freezing ass cold water. These guys immediately took control of the situation.

I'll take Railbird's exit from this thread to mean he just said some bullshit to stir the turd and knew he was full of crap.

i own a video series on the seals BUDS program from the discovery channel; it sounds like a few others here have seen it.

i often pop the vids in when i'm feeling sorry for myself for one reason or another, or feeling lazy. those bastards get ground to powder in the BUDS program, absolute powder. i'd never make it, and nobody i've ever known would either.... not even close. these guys are psycho. it makes the regular military look like a joke. the 90 people who show up are trained, highly respected operators in the military communities from which they are chosen, and 75% of them can't cut even 3 weeks of basic training (BUDS), let alone the rest of it.

Funny thing is most (not all) in the regular military would run circles around Railbird and most here but can't come close to making it as special operators. I used to work for a woman that ran track and field at a major university. She could run all damn day long and do as many push ups and situps as you want. She is a machine.

I started this thread. The thread was started because I had heard navy seals were extraoridinary but was suprised to see how easy the screening requirements were. looking at the numbers I posted in post #1 of this thread and knowing what kind of numbers that Huntington Beach lifeguards have to put up and its not even close. So I was taken back a bit.

The jobs available ratio to the people wanting the job is like 100 to 1. Where as the military is begging people to sign up, with being a HB lifeguard its the opposite. It is a prestigious job and highly sought after.

you were mistaken in whatever you thought you learned about their screening requirements. their screening requirements are well documented and more rigorous than any sane person could endure. your source is shit.

one requirement to even pass the first 3 weeks is a 4 mile run in boots on a sandy beach in less than 32 minutes. i dont know where you got your information, but its wrong. comparing them to regular military is a joke, let alone huntington beach lifeguards.

Uh, no. Once again you are talking about stuff you no nothing about. The military is not begging anyone to come in and all branches are meeting recruiting goals with ease.

Let me ask you this if you think the lifeguard gig is so prestigious. Would you rather tell someone on a city streety you are a Huntingdon Beach lifeguard or a U.S. Navy SEAL? You don't just stumble into being a SEAL. And these dudes want the job so they can get paid to sit in a chair and look at beaver all day. Who wouldn't want that job?

• 1931 City added Delbert "Bud" Higgins to assist Gene Belshe as first full-time year-round lifeguards.
• 1932 City erected its first concrete-based towers at Huntington Ave., Third Street and Sixth Street.
• 1938 Chief Higgins merged Lifeguards with Fire Department, first used radios, telephones, four-wheel drive vehicles, rescue paddleboards.
• 1957 Vincent Moorhouse promoted to Chief Lifeguard and applied his Navy Seals training to lifesaving and created the Perimeter Defense System and other programs that forever changed lifesaving; Huntington Beach becomes international lifesaving model
• 1963 Captain Max Bowman helped build and design the original Tower Zero on the pier. The tower was moved to the new pier in 1991 and replaced in 2000
