SWCC: Making an Operator - Full Length Documentary | SEALSWCC.COM
How to train and apply to become a Navy SEAL or SWCC: www.sealswcc.com
Discover the intense and gut wrenching crucible of training endured by Special Warfare Combat Crewman (SWCC) candidates.
Being in a SWCC team means you're part of a very elite group of Naval Special Warfare operators. Navy SWCC play a vital and crucial role in supporting Navy SEALs and other special operations forces in maritime environments. Their expertise in boat operations, firepower, and teamwork makes them an indispensable component of the U.S. Navy's special operations capabilities.
All SWCC are experts in operating and maintaining high-speed, heavily armed watercraft, including Special Operations Craft-Riverine (SOC-R) and the Mark V Special Operations Craft. Their primary mission is to transport and provide fire support for Navy SEALs and other special operations forces during combat and reconnaissance missions in littoral and riverine areas.
People don’t realize how bad ass these guys are. Good for showing their training.
I know, right!? They just dont know. I dont think they ever will.
No, what they don't realize is they even exist. Those that know they exist, know who and what they are.
My son retired year ago. He was SWCC member boat 20. He served 20 years. Am so proud of him. He is now police officer In Tennessee. God Bless SWCC.
he must be one good police officer now
What class was he???
a swcc retired just be a cop? rare
@@klausschulz1816What are you talking about, many many many SEAL’s, SWCC, SF, Ranger’s, you name it all become Firefithters or Police Officers after retiring. What did you think they do? All start their own training company lol what is a SWCC Operator going to treat a civilian? Boat craft? Lol obviously they know how to shoot and all of that too but boat craft is their specialty.
@@klausschulz1816Really? 🙄 What was he supposed to become? Can you tell us from your experience as a retired SWCC? Or from the conversations you had with the retired SWCC's you personally know? 🤔
A few of my fellow wrestlers mentioned we were all joining the military. Myself and 2 others chose the Navy. One became an officer, the other a SWCC operator. Everything I heard about SWCC before going in was they were the guys who took the seals into forward deployed areas. I served my 8 and got out those guys became lifers and were bad asses. Much respect to any SWCC or SEAL they are some of the toughest sailors out there.
That cameraman deserves a medal!
"Hurry Up . Don't Fall Back."
Played rugby in college and had a SWCC recruiter approach me after a game during tournament. Started working with him and getting ready for after college to join and go SWCC. Month before going in a drunk driver hit me while riding my bicycle and ended that path. Sometimes I wonder what it could have been. Such is life 🤷🏼♂️
Sorry that happened to you, I got injured and almost died from autoimmune encephalitis before I got my orders to buds and I was already in the Navy for 2 years as a FMF Corpsman. Sometimes bad things happen for the better, I could have died at BUDs or worse(a student got drouned by his instructor that same year). The thing that makes us tough are the things we survive.
Least you got no innocent souls haunting you at night because all the conflicts woulda ended the same anyway
Unbelievable.
could fail and became a seaman
@@jcbbb 100%
Any dude that even shows up and attempts these special operations schools have my respect💯
When the SWCC instructor starts talking nice, you know its over
Thanks for sharing this and thank you for your service.
I did the Pier 4 to Coronado swim in 1993, took me 1.25 hours, water is so cold 🥶 that when I got to Coronado I could barely stand up.
Good times. Wish I could start the journey all over again. I never remember the times I was comfortable, in bed with my girl playing MW but I remember carrying boats 8 miles at 3am. You don’t have to do what we do to live the way we do.
It was 1998 and for the previous 4yrs I did everything to prepare for a military career, specifically this. I passed every test, every obstacle that was presented to me, including MEPS...until I tried for my waiver. And that shut me down. Childhood cancer that I had in 1991. Permanent no go for the military service. I never wanted something more in my life, than to be a SEAL. Major crusher for me. I am now 44 and it still bothers me at times.
Wow, that sucks
Same dream. Wanted to be a soldier. Marines but if I could get a seal selection try out guarantee I’d go navy. Hurt myself helping others. Broke my back permanently disabled. Civilian for life. Kills me.
Why not go private contracting rout. Or some other gov job. It's not only military
These guys aren’t seals u pineapple. 🍍
@@float.facedown.143 gee ya don't say...I would have never guessed it
Our military is friggin awesome. Excellent documentary. Well done.
My favorite pull has to be the Venasaur! The Zapdos EX is sick too! Would love to have it
Great documentary. I filmed Polish SOF Formoza. Greetings from Gdynia, Poland.
멋있어요!
Good boys, right on !
Amazing GRIT!
Maximum Respect! 🫡
well done men
I’m about to go out for this. I could crush it. Ready for it. Waterman inside out. Been running boats my whole life. Diver, surfer, you name it. I honestly feel the call
Do it!
Hey SEALSWCC - Planets aligned some years not so long ago being invited to work with Scout team. Great work on increasing the quality to production - social shares.
72 hours of nonstop sounds rough. Start seeing people drone and that's where these folks turn on. God bless you fellas, God speed and safe travels.
This training is pure torture. Those who make it, congrats!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ so much respect even if u failed.
If I was 15 years younger I’d try this.
There a waiver for everything.
Epic!
My Grandpa was a SWCC boat operator on the mekong during Nam, and then went on to be an air marshall for 20 years
On 19:34 is a lot to do. Because of the swim but at first I didn’t get it but now I do. Because of it and what they need to do and more
Dam that instructor cool dude made for tv
please now do SDV
Men who clean up and make their beds 🙌
I miss those days
Toughest community to learn about. Been around Coronado for 5 years met tons of SEALs, EOD, Air Crew…Not once have I ever met a SWCC guy. I’ve done some training and got to go out on our RHIB’s, which is probably the only time I’ve felt fulfilment/satisfaction with my rate. Love to see this come out. If I ever were to do SPECWAR, I think SWCC is sick…1. Learning a trade with the boats. 2. Still get to do the pew pew, Military shit. 3. Who wouldn’t want to be out in the water on a kickass boat?
The life lessons it teaches you is incredible. My pops was SWCC through desert storm, the calm I felt even as a child getting on a boat with him is incredible. The knowledge, the poise, the overall comfortability being uncomfortable is incredible. Still in awe to this day. Weapons expert, boat/ship expert, firearms marksman, survivalist and tactition. They don’t get enough credit for what they are and how they operate.
Let's GOOOOOOOO
HOOYAH is the most motivating thing I’ve ever heard even though I’m joining the marines one day Oorah

Here we go. Comment section filled with know it alls that have never been through any training.
I didn't know Dean Cain was a SWCC instructor!
"Lets earn trident together, brother!!!"
IF the littoral combat ships (mainly the Freedom class) had been perfect in every way, would they have been a good fit for SWCC?
I was a FMF Corpsman for 3 years before I got injured, I would have loved to go SWCC but everybody told me to be a SARC. I see a lot of comments making fun of people wearing masks. Try to do a 14 mile run with covid and survive 😊
Any way I can ask you some questions I’m trying to get an hm-atf SARC contract as we speak
Retired FMF Corpsman here, brother! SWCC does sound awesome. If I could do it all over again, I would go for SWCC
Anybody know the song the instructors are playing as they’re running down the beach the morning after the boat anchor check?
"Good ol boys"

Coast Guard Spec Ops are underestimated.
this is navy bro. you lost or confused or what lol. SWCC take the navy seals in and bring them out. Coast Guard has cool spec ops units too, but this isn't it.
I just got a 97 on my ASVAB and am fluent in Mandarin. I’m going into the Navy in about 4 months. I hope to become an operator to use my skills in language for translation to a future SWCC, SEAL, or other SO team. But… I’m also 29 years old. I worry about my joint health in the physical training. Doing a lot of yoga and running now to get my body strong enough to at least try. I’ll give it my all
You would be better off going green beret. If you fail out of buds you’re fucked. Doing some wack ass job until your contract is up.
Wet n sandy
I think the Navy Special Operations is the only Special Ops that does room checks. Maybe the 75th RR because RASP candidates stay in the barracks.
Yeah no almost every special ops do that
@@izziethegreat9997 It's called "Attention to Detail." If you can't pay attention to and take care of the little things in your room/bay and on your person, how do you expect to pay attention to and take care of things on your boat??
@@RoyG. Bro I already know I’ve been in the military for 5 years been taught this a long time ago
@@izziethegreat9997 Sorry, Izzy. I wasn't trying to lecture you. I was only attempting to elaborate upon your answer to Alonzo. You say you've been in the Military for 5 years. Thank you for your Service. I served in the Army 1971-1976.
@@izziethegreat9997 Could very well be since I only speak from my experience in the Army. I can tell you from direct and indirect experience that RASP II nor SFAS/Q-Course does this level of room checks (hospital corners etc). Any check of barracks/sleeping quarters are checking for contraband or any major safety violations such as live ammo in the barracks. I cannot speak for the other branches however.
Everyone is special now

Hooah!
I’m a coxswain In the marines, if you think the crrc is a bitch to Cary, try the engine. It’s lighter but way more skewed and it destroys my back
I appreciate all these guys. Everyone who makes it and the ones who try. Thank you Men. 🤘🏻🇺🇸
Thank you for your support!
The old m81 uniform was better
Your mom was better before she lost her teeth, you don’t hear the local truck stop complaining.
@@joeb1den114maybe better after..😉
It’s still used sometimes, most operators use multicam now.
M81 is God’s plaid.

In the last say 20 years, I can't think of an area of operation, where these guys would have been deployed. Can someone help?
1:10 ...Angry Drill Sergeant? It that you?

So, I was a Corpsman for 22 years. You train your candidates to be medics which I assume are the same skills that a FMF Corpsman has. Why not give them a secondary NEC of 0000?
They only get trauma management. Not all the P&P, pathophys, pharmacology that you get at HM "A" school. I would trust my life to an NSW "medic" if I got shot, but if I had pneumonia, sepsis, etc. I'll take a corpsman. Would like an IDC but will do with an experienced 0000/8404. Ex HM2 (SS/FMF).
How do you join? What’s a good asvab score to join swcc?
I believe 50 is the minimum
❤️🌏
Pamela Anderson love you too
Always wanted to be a SEAL. I’m a savage 💪🏽 however I was disqualified for CV ( color blindness) 😢
These guys are not seals.
@@fasteddie3264 SEALS , TCAP , SR, PJ , CCT any Special Warfare requires color vision. That was my point !!
I love all the “I was gonna join but…” stories in the comment section. Just admit you didn’t have what it takes stop tormenting yourself with lies…. This is not for everyone it is what it is.
Who's gonna hold the boats and the ropes and the logs
One of the biggest regrets of my life is not joining this band of brothers.
That’s harder than Aircrew Training.
So is swcc the new buds program or what?
No two separate programs same training cept swcc I hear is shorter then buds swcc is special boat operators usually are support or used for infiltration and exfill of seal units and shit like that I'm sure they've even boated some recon or delta guys around
I'm surprised dude with the hand tattoos got a waver esp with the Navy! Or maybe he got it while he was already in idk. I knew people in the Army when I went in 2007 that had stuff like that. But in 2007 they were taking honestly anyone lol. I don't care I love seeing stuff like that. I have a lot just nothing past the wrists.
Anyone know the song @32:00 ?
Wild Child, Al Rudd
@@crypticbait thanks!
Swcc and seals are badass and awesome careers. Too bad we won’t be seeing much of them in future
Why not?
@@denissavgir2881 our military recruiting is decreasing . Even worse for spec ops community . I don’t know why tho
Your wrong there’s more people in the spec ops pipeline than ever before
@@Kade62 not in navy . While my sis was in boot camp there was only one guy in her division with a seal contract
@@Whisdagoat I just graduated boot and there was a division that was all SOs it just depends my division only had 2
The guys quitting will regret it the rest of their lives. I know from Experience.
How do these guys compare to the french foreign Legion
FFL is "elite infantry", but not at the level of SWCC. FFL is largely overrated. Good, but not as good as their myth.
I couldn't go back to my family having given up.
The only way to go through A&S is to embrace the suck.
I don't think these guys are SEALs right? It looks pretty identical to BUDS Training. Does anyone know?
@N13uilder thanks bro yes I was kind of figuring that towards the end, especially when they had a different word for their "Hell Week" and I don't think it was a full week, I think it may have been like 3 days, but I could be wrong. But thanks for the insight, bro!
It's called The Tour , correct on it being 3 days .
@@johnnym4400 Hell week is 5 1/2 days
I did'nt know what there guys when I was the navy 89 to 94
Should made em turn into sugar cookies
2:55 those push ups were ass tbh. I thought they had higher standards when it comes to push ups and form lol.
Look at the difference between the left and right. The guy on left is doing perfect form therefore struggling and adding more strength to the push up. The guy on right just messing around doing those half push ups which take no strength lol. Criticism, I’m not taking away the bad assery of the SWCCs
Um it's not a true limit if u push past ur limit,it's not a true limit
Perceived limits
You're pushing past your PERCEIVED limits and finding that you can do more than you thought you could.
How long has SWCC been in existence? I've never heard that acronym before. Do SWCC sailors move on to become SEALs? Or are they two different programs?
Founded in 1987 from legacy of previous commando boat raiders. SWCCs are not SEALs but they are on SEAL teams, they deliver SEALs and their officers are SEALs. SWCC differ as they have to be expert navigators and mechanics along with their training with guns on boats to basically destroy shit.
Very interesting. Thank you.@@NecessaryMortgage
@@gmoney9068💯
They dont yell anymore in military or what? the screaming is the best part. As somone who was always told to shut up as a kid and having to be quiet, its an opportunity to stretch the bocal chords
You need to get your grammar, punctuation, and spelling squared away before attempting to cut anyone else down tough guy.
Is this a new documentary or a replay of an old one? And why blur their faces and names? They didn’t do that in the documentary about BUD/S class 234.
With the internet now a days its alot easier to find things or people, as with BUD/S class 234 the internet wasn't as developed. They are special ops so their identity should be concealed especially with the fame on special warfare
@@militarygirdthey're seals, before long a tell all and book movie deal will be in their contact
@@replynotificationsdisabled Sure if you believe so, but remember that the Seal community is made up of about 2000 members that are active that does not count all the operator that are retired. Yes a lot of Seals write books but they are a small percent compared to the comunity as a whole. And these are also SWCC not Seal, there are not as many books about them. But I get where your coming from
Recruiting numbers must be low
🐾🏊🐾🏊
Seems easy
Then don’t do it, or do it and prove it. Needless to say, it’s harder to do than the video makes it look
If it's soon easy, then YOU go thru the training and do it!!!
I understand women are now in SWCC.
BUDS drops get a second chance to be cool... Then, no civilian has ever heard of them. That has to be frustrating. Seems like great training and decent mission profile. I only have one experience with a SWCC. He gave the unit the most reckless Warning Order I have ever heard in my career, just before stepping into the most dangerous city in the world. I expect that he is a statistical outlier and the rest of SWCC is more professional.
Is everyone an 'operator' now?
They’re NSW, so why not? Makes more sense to call them that than “sailors”
They floated some Woman through recently. By opening the Door to Women, there will be pressure to push women through and with the current standards it would be impossible for them to pass. Its like expecting a Woman to make it to the NFL. That is the Physical Level we are talking about Male Professional Athletes. Watch, they will lower standards and Women will be push through
Probably not much choice. Recruitment levels across all branches are dangerously low. Between the extreme lack of fitness and being taught to hate their country, there aren’t many young people for our armed forces to work with.
What needs to happen is for the SEAL Community to get off the internet and stop talking about their profession!!!!!! Silence is best!
The number of medals worn by even junior US military personnel never cease to amaze. Blokes must have a medal parade every week or does Amazon deliver them I wonder 🙂
Sooo….. boat drivers
Fast boats with guns
I discussed drugs with my Dr told me Army have to be big burly person home BAMC medic
if cannot make it to SEAL ,,SWCC is the dumping ground wanna be like SEAL
😂
Imagine being yelled at by an instructor in a fucking face diaper 😂😂😂 Clown 🤡 world 🌎 Fuck it, got my DD214 😂😂😂
Too bad you didn't get a DD214...
good to know that if someone yells gas, you'll yell freedom and we'll read about it in a darwin award report one of these days
your recruiting numbers must suck huh?
All us military branches is facing a enlistment decreasing . Which means we won’t be seeing much of seals , pjs ,ranger and other spec ops in future
I would never sacrifice my life for some st&upid as$ gov or people. More interested in making money than showing how tough I am... work hard, but most importantly work smart ;)
Stinks they showed masks
put on a few more masks ... disgrace
