What It Takes to Join America’s Secretive DEVGRU Green Team

توضیحات:

17-year Navy SEAL, Team 10 & DEVGRU Operator Cole Fackler pulls back the curtain on DEVGRU’s year‑long “Green Team” pipeline where even the top 5 percent of Navy SEALs face a 70% cut rate and a relentless zero‑fail mindset. In this candid conversation with former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux, Cole explains why he and DJ Shipley postponed screening to finish combat deployments, details the exact physical, psychological and reputation checks that filter candidates, and reveals how leadership styles and squadron “personalities” dictate final selections. Cole breaks down the culture of limitless resources paired with unforgiving accountability, then ties it to real‑world missions that prove Green Team’s training works on day one. Cole also opens up about the mental toll of never knowing where you stand, the career risk of being “that guy who got dropped,” and what zero‑mistake performance really means on the world’s most sensitive operations. Stay to the end to learn how graduates deploy in as little as two months. 00:00 – Introduction 01:16 – Submitting to Screen for DEVGRU 02:40 – Delaying Selection for Another Deployment 03:39 – The Grueling Screening Standards 04:34 – Mental Stress & Huge Failure Odds 05:13 – Smith & Wesson Sponsor Break 05:48 – How Leadership Picks Candidates 06:43 – Personality Fit & Squadron Needs 07:17 – Building Specialized Skill Paths 08:04 – Living the Zero‑Fail Culture 09:12 – Unlimited Resources & Autonomy 11:00 – High‑Level Stakes of Tier 1 11:46 – Deployable Two Months After Selection 12:08 – First Missions Under Extreme Pressure
