Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Meet :the baddest man on the planet  Retired Chief Petty Officer David Goggins is the only person to ever complete US Army Ranger School, US Air Force Tactical Control Party Training, and US Navy Seal Training. Individually, each of these training programs are nearly impossible to complete. He not only completed the training, but served honorably, completing numerous combat missions in each capacity. David Goggins is an American hero and we may never know the true extent of all he has done for our country. He is a Guinness World Record holder and widely regarded as “the baddest man on the planet”. We salute you!!! 13 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm up to my ass in alligators and running low on hope and ammo I'd think of him as "the goodest" if he showed up to bail me out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 The baddest man I have heard of and who was even praised in a song was a man named Slim. Believe it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I don't want to take anything away from the man. I'm confident I couldn't do what he has done. However, I would think that, to an extent, the ability to pass one of the schools would be an indicator of your fortitude, and your ability to pass one of the others. When I was in 11th Group, my CO had both Ranger and Special Forces tabs. I went through EFMB training with a Pararescue Sergeant who had passed Special Forces Q Course. While training is a good indicator of ability, it is not the sole indicator. In my mind this is particularly true if and when, as @PowderRiverCowboy mentions, ego gets in the way. Ego will make a person do some really un-badass things. Ultimately, does his training make him more of a badass than, say, Audie Murphy, Randy Shughart, Gary Gordon, John Chapman, Roy Benavidez, or a pantheon of others? Or even someone like Theodore Roosevelt, or going way back in time, a Samuel Whittemore? I know what my gut reaction answer is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I must say that I am a bit baffled as to how or why a Navy guy who has gone through SEAL training would need to go through training with other branches. Is it to learn the practices within those special forces groups to more easily work with them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was never in the the Army but did Ranger course at some time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
