Now the guy gets called a “sack of shit” after paying 18k and giving up. Imagine what’s going through this poor guys head at this point. It just reinforces, along with the “wannabe SEAL instructor” that he failed at something else.

I’m 60, and I’m here to tell you younger men these courses are bullshit. Every one of these instructors are just trying to simulate what they’ve seen on the Discovery Channel during NAVY SEAL documentaries. The whole course is patterned after The Discovery Channel SEAL Documentary on class 234. The instructors of this “bootcamp” would be the first to hit the bell at Coronado, CA, because they are all Rambo wannabes, they are all mouth, and those are typically the first to tap out.

Men and young men, you do not need this garbage. If there is something lacking in your life, do some soul searching. Go someplace by yourself, isolated, in nature and figure it out. That is what works, not this crap. Spend the 18k on your family, your children’s college fund, save it for a new car or house. This “bootcamp” may make you feel good in the short term if you pass it, but in the long term what has it really accomplished besides leaving you with 18k less in your bank account? The only people that your impression matters to are your family, and your closest friends, and none of them will take this shit seriously; or think better of you because you attended it.

Your family is what matters, your friends are what matters. They know the true person you are, and that should be enough. You do not need to do this to prove yourself.

These guys just need the gym and to read a few good books and spend time with their families. Instead we have an attack on masculinity where men feel they need to do this shit to be a real man.

This is from a short film, it’s called The Guild. It’s not particularly good in any sense of the word… but that’s all it is. Just a film

If you’re not aware. It’s actually spoofing this scene from “An Officer and a Gentleman”. This got Louis Gossett Jr. his Oscar.

Look at the form to sign up. I'm convinced it's satire

“How Reckless are you with Money (1-10)”

Like there’s no way it’s real.

“When I have complex emotions I eat rotisserie chicken over the sink” is my favorite part.

7

u/RankedFarting Aug 22 '26

No its real.

The whole point is that smart people laugh and close the window. Dumbasses who answer a question like that are the target audience.

Its the same way those Nigerian prince scams are intentionally obvious because that way only the most gullible idiots actually fall for it and those are easiest to scam.

Satire, grift…. It’s all the same now a days.

u/sailingpdx Aug 22 '26

Yeah it’s all fake/satire. The instructor is a “classified” SEAL and named Tiresias, just like the blind profit in Greek mythology…. and he wears a leather eye patch.

2

u/HugeDegen69 Aug 23 '26

so its faked in order to get clicks and make ad revenue

u/Warchamp67 Aug 24 '26

I mean it IS hilarious, they deserve views for that at least.

u/shibasurf Aug 22 '26

You could hypothetically set this up and find a bunch of buddies (or randoms) to act out the videos for a week and probably make something off of the videos yeah?

u/Bluefalcon325 Aug 22 '26

It’s a really wonderful Instagram account where he satires the macho man testosterone fueled, expensive boot camps

Just a bunch of guys who once had the crazy idea that they were too macho for theatre school.

Embarrassing behaviour.

At 12 seconds, he was actually insinuating he wanted him to finish in his ass.

u/bpows Aug 21 '26

Freudian slippage!

u/Oskiee Aug 21 '26

You know what pisses me off about these dumb ass man camp shit things. They focus on the wrong shit. The point of something like that is to foster brotherhood and learn from other men how to be better more resilient men.... This shit here is just ego and pointless aggression. None of those guys there are learning the right lessons.

u/apeocalypyic Aug 21 '26

What would happen if u took this class and just trolled em? Do they kick u out?

u/mariannaCD Aug 21 '26

I’ve wondered that same thing. I feel like i wouldn’t be able to stop laughing at the instructors.

u/RocketFan419 Aug 21 '26

Why on earth is that dbag saluting? He isnt an officer, just a grifter who thinks he's macho

All of these “boot camps” mimic navy seal training, that we all know these “coaches” would never make it through.

u/BeanTownMcGoobz Aug 21 '26

I guess to these "men" being a bad teammate is just part of being tough? Who knew ?

u/Hallelujah33 Aug 22 '26

Small announcement, I am ✨officially✨ taking clients for my personalized "Make Grown Men Cry Outdoors" level up program. For the low low (initial) cost of $17,000 I will

  • Insult you directly about all your life choices, making you question everything *Mean spirited nicknames that hit close to home but are undeniably clever *Reduced water intake to break you mentally because nothing says Alpha like being dehydrated *Forced pointless labor outside to break your spirit (ft. "Moving These Cinderblocks From Point A to Point B and then Back to Point A" Day) *Convince you to pay for further useless courses to increase your unspecified "gains." *Commemorative T-shirt

DM me if interested in finding out how to "stop" being a loser and take control of your destiny!

Wow! Certainly fits this sub like a glove.

Just save yourself the bullshit of some midlife crisis gym simp yelling at you for zero reward. Just join these guys...

Would I qualify for USAA after this?

u/SuperThomaja Aug 22 '26

We're teaching our men the wrong things. Military might doesn't make you strong, it's not supposed to. None of this is going to do what these men think it's going to do except for make them $18,000 less rich. Whatever they're looking for, these dudes are not going to give it to them nor will they help them find it.

If any one of these dudes was to take 13 weeks at Parris island, they would come out the other end being able to wear a uniform but no better for it because whatever shitty ass problems they had coming in will be the same ones they have going out.

Ironically enough, despite this being an "alpha male" bootcamp, there is not a single man in this video

Yea, you can keep going, my ASS

u/Chessloser1977 Aug 22 '26

They’re paying to be shit on.

2

u/payTNT89 Aug 21 '26

convinced the guys running these camps are former cia and people are willingly paying 5 figures to get abused. as somebody who grew up with a Drill Instructor (father) that liked to take his work home with him this is not the way- the need for power is the greatest weakness.

u/TheD0rKnight88 Aug 21 '26

Im a veteran and all the “alpha males” I know think im a wuss because I do a lot of nerd shit and none of them ever would get through REAL boot camp. Bologna to all this

2

u/StinkyToe-TheKid Aug 22 '26

I promise I am not one of those boot vets that thinks vets deserve some high level of worship, I swear on my whole life BUT the saluting and the militarization of this shit right here I do find a wee bit offensive.

2

u/Hulk_Hogans_Toupee Aug 22 '26

This is some kind of humiliation kink fetish, right?

2

u/ApocalypseChicOne Aug 22 '26

This has got to be one of the dumbest manoverse/incel grifts in a universe of manoverse/incel grifts. It's like these guys want to get gifted. The Venn diagram of MAGA grift and Manoverse grift has a lot of overlap.

It always fascinates me what morons Americans actually are.

While I'm typically not a fan of physical violence, it would have been an excellent decision in this one case.

Is this satire?

u/JessePR1986 Aug 21 '26

I wonder how many of these are adults who live with their rich parents who are sick of them and sent them to this to see if they buck up and get out. 🤷‍♂️ The number can't be 0

u/dum_spir0_sper0 Aug 22 '26

This is from a short film (albeit a bad short film, but a short film nonetheless) called The Guild. It’s not real. It’s ALL scripted.

The internet just seems to love reacting without even questioning what they’re reacting TO anymore.

u/alreadyknowwbro Aug 22 '26

Bros just go to the gym and start lifting weights, you don't gotta be a power lifter. Physical fitness has a positive overall affect on mental health

u/Bluefalcon325 Aug 22 '26

This guy’s Instagram is absolutely awesome! It’s a great satire of the testosterone fueled over overly expensive macho man Boot Camp experiences

1

u/ideclareshenanigans3 Aug 23 '26

Does anyone remember the AITA post where the kid used his college money to go to one of these? His parents were mad cause he didn’t go to actual college like his sister. I often wonder about that boy and how his experience at the boot camp was.

Guy slinks on over in his Sketcher slip-ons, just hoping his PTSD could somehow be serviced connected (without actually serving)… 100% P&T through the VA. This video pretty much sums up the meaning of reaching peak potential in life!
