Navy SEAL: “Not Killing People Is Hard” - DJ Shipley - #1112
What was said
"The divorce rate in the SEAL teams are over 100%. Because people get remarried and then run it back and then get out again. The first troop chief I had on his fifth. My business partner now is on his third."
Shipley revealed the divorce rate among Navy SEALs exceeds 100% because operators marry young—often their high school sweetheart—deploy for most of the year, then divorce and remarry, repeating the cycle. He explains most join between 18-22, move their partner to Virginia Beach with no support system, then leave for 270-350 days per year, creating unsustainable relationships.
