Even more shocking that he was a graduate. I guess you don't need to be too smart to be a seal.

Whether he cleared it or not, why would you intentionally put it to your head and pull the trigger?

We're supposed to call him a dumbass, because he was (is?) a dumbass, Navy SEAL or not.

If true, the SEALs need to revisit their vetting process.
Only 22 and a SEAL ??????

If true, the SEALs need to revisit their vetting process.
Only 22 and a SEAL ?????? 8 weeks for Recruit Training, 8 weeks at the Naval Warefare Prep school, 3 weeks BUD/S Orientation, 7 weeks for Phase 1, 7 Weeks for Phase 2, 7 weeks for Phase 3, 26 weeks for SQT. Once a Sailor completes SQT they are then awarded thier Tridents and assigned to a SEAL team. Of course all times are approx since Sailors often get rolled back but it would be easy for someone who joined the Navy at 18 to complete the training prior to thier 22d birthday. When I say "Easy" I mean the time line/frame not the training.

I always treat my firearms as if they were loaded because they are loaded. They don't work well otherwise. LOL  chances are he wasn't a member of team 6.

I've got a pic of me off the road in my 5 day old Jeep which just went down the road on its top and them flipped end over out in the Dickey area. Some stupid fukn drunk (me) at the wheel, drunk and elk hunting. Don't discount the booze aspect of good sense.
That was 25 years ago.....a little more, more like thirty.....since I've been sober almost 25 years now.
Both the Jeep and I survived my drinking.......but not by much.

bummer..at least he didn't point it at someone else. friggin booze.....
There are some purdy craze utube vids out there. The guy that shoots himself in front of his class is another amazing one. The list is endless. A friend of mine was right by the guy at the kingdome that was fondling his sidearm in his pocket and shot himself. That was quite a while back, but I'm sure some of you remember that.

It is apparent, by the incident given, that Seal training is concentrated
on the physical not the mental characteristics of their candidates.
It is truly amazing how many people are killed or injured by unloaded
guns. While this incident was stupid, anyone who has known or worked with SEALs would know that they are usually mentally strong as they are physically if not more.
