Was he smaller (at least in weight) when he served?  I take you at your word about your friend 100% but SpecFor guys usually tend to run toward “average” size and often smaller. A humongous guy in those communities is pretty rare.

He was thinner when he served. That was his weight when I met him. He had been out about 10 years when I met him. He was not in a good place and was a scary man.

I have two cousins who served in Special Forces. Both were in the Iraq War.

One of them found himself in a pretty bad place later on as well, but I don't necessarily think it had to do with his military experiences.

My friend started to drink pretty heavy and run around with a bad crowd of people. It ended up costing his marriage and his legs.

I wonder if they will talk to Cam about that Super Bowl and his career ending early

Those guys are actually taking it easy on them compared to what they actually go through in real navy seal training. Actual navy seals would call this summer camp.

Bro, this is nothing compared to SERE training. Like everyone would make it through. 100%.

That's the Seal training program, right?

Oh no! That's BUD/S. That ish is completely different. I'm confident in saying no one on that show would last a day at BUD/S. No one. Some of them might die. IF they let them do it. 

I seriously considered going Navy SEAL. I was 165 pounds as a 19 year old. Benched 365, Squat 485, ran a 4.59 40 yard, 4.12 shuttle, 37" vertical (only 5'8"), ran 1.5 miles in 9:15. Pretty athletic. 

We had an actual SEAL in my graduating class. I was nothing to him. Nothing. Easily the most mentally strong person I'd ever met.

Decided I'd just drive Navy destroyers and fire some TOMAHAWK missiles instead.
