[@FlakeTillman]

Eric Ramirez Probably got smoked for any kind of poor pronunciation

[@notundermywatch3163]

Well observed...It's typical of Green Berets, they must score high in vocabulary because not only must they be able to become versed if not fluent in foreign languages but they also are teachers which requires good verbal communication skills. Also in this line of work being concise with what you want to describe or communicate is crucial. When you take the ASVAB you're tested for your comprehension of vocabulary and nuances,if you score low in that department SF is a no go for you.

[@jessiewalker8547]

Common amongst special forces instructors, very articulate

[@amp3225]

4 years later, I wish more people would grasp this mindset when speaking. I’m tired of seeing “boy” spelled “boi”, as an example of where I see language going. Being a smart human being with some common sense and self awareness should be everyone’s standard. We seem to be going in the opposite direction apparently.

there are similarities between bird watching and conducting recon missions. I know it sounds silly but it's true.

He tracked a bird for three days to get his photo..........that is an awesome skill set he is carrying. Track a human for three days is one thing, but God's creatures are a whole lot more in tune with their environment. AWESOME.

He's such a humble dude. When he talked about failing delta first time round, he didn't mention that it was because he broke his ankle. No excuses. Always puts things into perspective

[@ceezee4542]

2nd jump he tore his biceps in his left arm straight into his forearm, no joke. Was lucky to come out alive and even more so with both arms still attached to his body. 2nd jump at jump school, imagine that.

you have to bro, i'd consider myself as fresh as a daisy & I've had my fair share of knocks between accidents, being hit & taking shrapnel. as long as you can keep going then it's all good - the pain will pass & quickly as life. endure one & embrace the other, it just depends on the individual which they'll choose.

[@mlnyonasi]

Pat McNamara is pure inspiration manifested as a person. Incidentally, he's also pretty insightful as fuck. The following are a few gems I picked up: 1) Outcome-based training {that is, execution in consideration of the consequences} is inferior to performance-based training {that is, execution in consideration of the execution itself}. One effectively conducts the latter by: a) focusing on performing excellently b) focusing on performing in one's own capability. 2) There are no limits. Limits begin where vision ends. *Hint: expand your vision? 3) The probability of achieving your desired outcome will increase once you let go of your need to have it. 4) Don't worry what anybody else is doing, worry about improving yourself. 5) Do everything in excess---better to burn out than to fade away! Now go on and get you some!

[@williamhedden6715]

I was honored to meet this man at an airport during a layover. He was genuinely a nice person. It made my day to meet a true American hero.

Ethan Porter​ Assumptions are a mother of all fuckups. Never gone through SFAS, did not care for it. Plenty of family within SF. Active duty army, currently serving in a more challenging position. Both of my of uncle's server within SF in the 80s to mid 90s and my older brother is still an instructor on Q course. As far as Mac and Vickers go, I've been told multiple times that it worth it to bring up old shit.

Ethan Porter​​ Former 19D now a 35F. Stick to video games or kissing ass. Me, I'm just too old for it. Prior to him transitioning into CAG he mentions that he served in my unit. According to my superiors never in their entire history, have they recruited from SF. SF rarely see combat, their primary job is to train an ingenious proxy force. Are you SF, or even active mil?

Whenever I feel down or loose focus. I watch a video of Pat McNamara, and end with a smile.

[@ffryan]

When a guy like Pat says "I consider myself a jack of all trades, master of none" it really makes you question whether any of us have any business calling ourselves a master of anything.

[@joseph291]

The complete saying was originally “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” But I get what hes saying. I learned that full quote a wee while back and thought it was interesting.

I'm an engineering automation sales man selling 30 different lines and thousands of products. I know the feeling.

[@paulee44]

Did a class with him, and was lucky enough that several people dropped out, giving us a really small class, so he hopped in and did a lot of the drills with us. Amazing shooter, and an amazing teacher and motivator as well. His focus on performance based training was hugely beneficial to me. The hardest part for me was getting past the feeling that I was in a class being run by Randy Savage;)

My son is a young Infantry officer. He has very similar drives, habits, hobbies and drive. I was pretty sure he was on track but he stood out from the crowd and that made me worried.
