If Bravo Crew ain’t what it was, neither is SEAL Crew.
I went into SEAL Crew Season 7 Episode with some trepidation. A lot of this season hasn’t labored that I used to be shocked at how nicely this hour did.
Lastly, I can empathize with Jason and the crew is feeling extra cohesive. However understanding Jason doesn’t make his story simpler to bear, and even a cohesive crew runs into bother.
Jason Hayes, Household Man
Thank God that Mikey isn’t really a burgeoning drug addict. Nonetheless, he discovered completely nothing from his father, which could say extra about Jason’s deployment schedule than his parenting abilities.
Mikey cracked beneath the stress of his harm virtually instantly. Are you able to think about if he adopted in his father’s footsteps to the battlefield? God assist us all.
Regardless of how he checked out is after the actual fact, Jason mentioned and did all the suitable issues. Even if you happen to’re in ache, you can not and mustn’t take extra ache drugs. Jason is aware of that higher than most.
Mikey dug his heels in and almost died when his buddy tried to “assist.” His pals have been passing round ache drugs, and Mikey inadvertently swallowed a avenue drug that contained the lethal drug Tranc.
There was a contented ending, nevertheless it didn’t make Jason really feel any higher about what occurred. He blames himself for not listening to Mikey when he famous his ache. That’s hardly the suitable takeaway from his expertise.
As a substitute of his dwelling go to cementing his must be a household man, it might have simply sealed Jason’s destiny to die on the battlefield. His thoughts tells him he’s unable to have a balanced life. No different SEALs pull it off, so why would he?
This occasion doesn’t pressure Jason to really feel a deeper must be along with his household; it appears to push him again to his consolation zone.
Omar’s First Lead
Sonny and Drew speaking over the comms was nothing in comparison with how Sonny drove the mission by way of these comms.
Why IS Omar Bravo 2 anyway? Leaders don’t query themselves as typically as Omar questions himself. From my perspective, he doesn’t have what it takes to be a pacesetter. He’s too simply flustered.
Omar let his crew push him to behave in methods he won’t have in any other case, going in opposition to direct orders from command. A pure chief is not going to be swayed by these beneath his command. Blaming others and saying he was pressured to make a name he didn’t need to make mentioned all the things.
He owned his resolution when requested, however he was nonetheless doubting himself, and I don’t suppose he actually believed what he mentioned.
Omar isn’t prepared to guide. Interval.
His crew, particularly Sonny, who has numerous sway of their small group, doesn’t absolutely belief or imagine in him.
The One When All of a Sudden, I Like Drew
Consuming with the fellows, becoming a member of in on the enjoyable and video games. All it took was a hot-house emotional explosion to open him as much as the brand new frontier.
He and Sonny get alongside like besties, which requires Omar to be somewhat extra affected person than he was in the course of an operation.
However when the rubber met the highway, Drew had Omar’s again. He gave glorious recommendation and was all of the sudden personable, along with the knowledge he’d proven on earlier missions.
You already know, all people is aware of the suitable reply till it’s on them to decide. It’ll take time to belief your self to make the suitable calls.
Drew
We’ve puzzled why Drew was added to the collection at this late date, and now it is sensible that he will likely be Bravo 1 when Jason both waves the white flag or is killed in motion.
He is aware of extra about management than Omar and has received over his teammates. He went from being a lone wolf to being chief of the pack.
The recommendation he imparted on Omar spoke extra about himself than what he thought of Omar’s capabilities.
The perfect leaders don’t give a shit about the place the great concepts come from. Their solely concern’s mission success and getting dwelling with a full head depend. I can, I can, uh, inform these are your priorities, too.
Drew
The primary two sentences within the quote above are straight from Drew’s coronary heart, revealing his views on main a crew. His try to get well by tossing Omar a bone about his priorities didn’t meet the mark.
His previous nonetheless doesn’t make sense, particularly after he shares why he wasn’t with Echo in the course of the fateful op.
If something, it was much more cause why each different SEAL Crew would have been conscious he was part of Echo. However dwelling on it makes no distinction.
I see a future the place Drew is Bravo 1.
Bravo’s Coming House
Bravo’s actions did what they meant.
They displayed proof of idea for built-in deterrence, which is what Lisa has been combating for. With targets on their backs now, their job is finished.
Lisa isn’t happy with the success, seemingly as a result of she is aware of Bravo’s future continues to be on the road.
With 4 episodes to go, we would have simply witnessed Bravo’s final greatest op. If Jason’s future is to die in motion, there will likely be one other. But when he’s main, I count on it to go south quick.
Bravo has tasted a world with out Jason and Ray, which may change the crew dynamic much more. With so a lot of them doubting themselves, it paints a grave image for a way the collection may finish — no less than for Jason.
Adapt and Overcome
In the course of the episode, they used the phrase “adapt and overcome,” which SEAL Crew members should do often.
However what the “Hundred-12 months Marathon confirmed is that adapting can generally make it even more durable to beat obstacles.
Jason adapts to each state of affairs, however he has issues absolutely integrating into his completely different worlds. It’s not that he or any of the SEALs have a reverse Midas contact, destroying no matter they contact. They’re so adaptable that they’ll snuggle into even unsavory circumstances simply to maintain respiration.
What occurs after they lose that adaptability? We would simply discover out in these last 4 episodes.
