The Shit Squeezer: AKA Nicaraguan Navy SOF Training

NICARAGUA NAVAL MANEUVERS
This is a great video that show cases some hard mother fuckers going through Nicaraguan Navy SOF selection. It’s very clear to me where Nicaragua stands on women or gays in this unit.

A lot of the negativity is necessary in all SOF selection (FYI-it forces the individual to develop mental toughness) however, I don’t agree with the humiliation tactic as seen in the end of the clip. Any individual who doesn’t make the cut will have to live with it for the rest of their lives, this is enough. Let them quit or be dismissed with honor.

“He felt fear today, he simply shit his pants”…

Enjoy this look into the Nicaraguan “Shit Squeezer”.  Special thank you to “Kev Nash”, who found this gem and shared it with SOFREP.

I've recently started reading this site due to the Mark Owen drama.  When I was younger I considered enlisting but didn't.  Certain life circumstances ensured I'd never be able to try for special forces even if I was allowed to be a soldier in the first place.  To this day I wonder if I would have had "the stuff" and lament that I haven't been challenged in life since high school wrestling...

 

...which brings me to my point:  is your posting this video a satire?  I'm not trying to to downplay the physical strain I saw but it wasn't anything worse than what we did during summer wrestling camps (minus jumping off a boat going a whopping 10 MPH).

 

I admittedly know nothing about the training you special forces guys survived, but even the Seal hell week videos that float around look 500x worse than this stuff.

I think America could REALLY do without a lot of the bs political correctness in today's world..  NO MORE PARTICIPATION TROPHIES would be a great place to start.

Strange that the guy would balk at dumping into the water from a boat. It's not that big a thing really. I mean if you are going to join their Navy Commandos some degree of comfort in the water would a prerequisite. Don't they screen for that? I agree about the humiliation part and the about face his class mates did. It seemed rather harsh. Did you notice the DI was an O-3 in their rank structure? I wonder if this is training for their officer ranks given the small number of guys in the class?

 @SEAN SPOONTS Gotta think man, if he's a boot he's probably never gone that fast on the water. It ain't like here where there's jet boats and fishing boats w/ 225 h.p. Mercury's on the back.

 notice that the intructor is a captain. these programs are small and under funded. they usually dont screen for anything. men sign up and hope for the best. the name calling, bullying, and harrassment might seem harsh for american eyes, however, this is common in central america. guatemala kaibiles are much harsher. Salvadorian spec ops are tough too. all of this wasnt rare 30-40 years ago in the marine corps. our politcal correctness has gotten rid of all of this. today, instructor cant even use their index finger to point out stuff.

im glad i could help. this is classic "central america" style military training. no political correctness, no mercy, and no second chances. you have to be tough if your going to fight communist guerrillas in the jungles and mountains of central america.....i specially like 3:03 ( so you want to be a frogman?)lol

 @kevinnash87 Political correctness in the military is a solely American thing from what I've seen.
