Behind Ranger School: Ep1 PREPARATION

[@tor9273]

After graduation, when I went back to my unit, on that day there happen to be a battalion 5 mile run. The new second lieutenant running next to me heard me huffing and puffing and asked "why are you in recon if you can't handle a 5 mile run at this slow pace?" I had lost 25 pounds of muscle and I was still mentally lost in zombie mode. Someone else told him why, and he just turned red and went silent. I remember thinking the entire episode was funny. But mostly I wanted a sandwich.

[@DaneBraunecker-n5g]

I’m 14 what are the best things I can do to prepare for the things that you saw the most people quit

[@brockmorris8764]

@@DaneBraunecker-n5gfocus on building a base of running, I’d say run 3 miles a day 5 days a week, ask your mom to order you a ranger handbook, learn your troop leading procedures from it, and study it an hour a day at least one day a week. At 14 you have time, energy, and freedom of movement. Do something everyday to make yourself better. Start by making your bed every morning, asking your mom or dad, or whoever you live with what you can do to help them around the house and do it to perfection. Go above and beyond in everything you do, and you will be miles ahead of anybody else around you by the time you are 18 and deciding whether you’re gonna go to West Point, or enlist out of high school. Respond if you have any more questions.

The HUMBLE part of this vid was too good. Can't get enough.

[@Firmly_grasp_it]

This is "surviving the cut" season 2

[@LucresntBlade]

Need more videos like this. Helps a lot of people out with what's to come, YET Training is key if you're not physically ready then that's where you need to Start.

[@sammysam2615]

My dad was a 22 year Marine vet. Tough as nails. He always poked fun (friendly) at other branches of services. But he did say that of all his training, Ranger School was absolutely no joke!

[@KASHFITNESS]

Nick 30 lbs lighter and in the worst shape of his life, is my current physique smh 😂

[@ChaseChewning]

How many times did you get lost in Ranger school?

[@Jordan-go3st]

beginning song is moodz by blackbear in case y'all wanted to know

[@porcaputtanajimmie543]

ty bro

[@johl88]

killing it with the edit. great video

[@ErickaBernie]

Missing the army huh?! So much army going into your videos once you go out! Your videos are getting so good sir! Hooah!

[@shay9732]

Once an Lt always an Lt?

[@jamesj4998]

Ericka Bernie army videos probably get more views... he's a business man

[@ErickaBernie]

James Joyce I figured !

[@Bobbito3]

James Joyce 100% correct

[@johntommy220]

Ericka Bernie Was yo snap ma

[@44zta]

I started out watching his running videos and decided to go all the way back and start watching his vlogging progression from his 20,000 calorie cheat day to cutting and onward. Crazy to know in a couple years he will become a marathoner lol

[@masonmiller9658]

This is easily one of the best-made and best quality videos on KZbin

[@Mickk0205]

You seem so dedicated in everything you do. Just insane. Much respect from Holland.

[@carsonhill7878]

omg yes! keep making more ranger videos!

[@slif51]

My buddy went into ranger school out of hs and had got through with no problem. If your mentally strong I'm sure you can do it.

[@johnpenaloza7262]

Thank you for this series, love these types of videos.

[@healwithsteel]

Straight Through Crew checking in! Great vid nick. Can't believe we are filming the same series right now

[@snapstring3134]

Videos are good for informing on a school like Ranger School , but going through a coarse like Pre Ranger is invaluable. It’s an experience that a class room doesn’t fully prepare you for .

[@CaptainG1331]

Your production quality is constantly improving!! It's awesome!! Keep up the great work!!

[@nicolykid]

Nick...the editing in this video is SOLID AF bro. it's getting better with almost every video

[@myles8747]

I'm wanting to join British army at the minute I've been training with my runs and all But rucking almost everyday to school and around school with my Bergen weighing around 15-30kg. Lot of respect for all solider irrelevant to nation you do very hard job which hopefully I can experience.

[@czern2016]

Myles What are the requirements for the British Army?

[@myles8747]

dependent on the role, the hardest to get is the PARAs requiring run time of 9:40 for 1.5 miles, 2.4km power bag lift to approx shoulder height 45kg and a jerry can carry of 120 meters. The role I'm going for 14 minute run 20kg lift and 60 meters carry but as I train to be best I can do all that which sit within para timing easily Hopefully to move into 16 air brigade a brigade which most of Airborne unit are which to join you have to do the para test later on down the line.

[@PenusDrippings]

I remember gaining bad weight in the army then I started running again. Weighing about 185 and being 5-10. I was running 5 miles in about 41:00.

[@angelruiz1629]

Man I haven't watched you're videos in months and i come back to see you're editing skills got really good! Keep it up love the video bro

[@FreibsGarage]

This is going to be an awesome series, man. Thank you for sharing your experience

[@rideablepanda]

Your video quality has gone up so much dude, like an insane amount. Editing, the drone music. So many cool shots. Love em man! Keep it up!

[@schmurdaeverything5480]

MatthewOnYT that's because he's not shooting any of the footage or doing the editing.

[@brandonmolina9061]

As someone looking into going to ranger school! Thank you!

[@julesvandijck5022]

Great vid Nick!

[@rrocker99]

Love your vids and channel. One of the few fitness channels I still watch.

[@brandonkreischer2671]

Option 3 contract, 11x recruit here. I ship next summer and as soon as I get a shot at Ranger school I'm taking it.

[@AwesomeTank63]

[@EsotericOrderJ]

[@andreassidossis1576]

[@jalenm6920]

He didn't go to basic

[@mateolawson325]

Love the vids man! This ones great, I'm dep'd in the marines right now waiting to ship out and I'm going for recon so this definitely helps me out on how I should be training before I take off 🙏🏻

[@ChristianCarranza754]

Im not looking to enlist or have any interest in being in the military but this was very entertaining. Love it man.

[@mattneed111]

thanks for these videos! didnt really plan to ever attempt ranger school, but a good NCO has talked me into taking up the challenge, have a huge prep ahead of me but im ready.

[@albertoperaza6494]

Great editing(music). Good job LT.

[@monnienauta6038]

[@davidabston2976]

love the blackbear at the beginning - such a good artist

[@sameerg7919]

david abston what's the name of the song by black bear used in the beginning? It's pretty dope!

[@davidabston2976]

Sameer G hey it's called moodz. It's the one at the very very beginning not the one with words

[@AllensActiveProductions95]

Nick, how much would u say iBOLC gave u an advantage over non-combat arms MOSs that were in your class?

[@healwithsteel]

Allen's Active Productions IBOLC is a huge advantage. The infantry officers saved my ass in ranger school. Especially when it came to the orders process

[@johnruzzi7192]

[@Chuys_Rd1]

This guys edits are insane

[@cartera3809]

Great video's Nick. Very motivating and informative. I'll be going through Ranger school soon and you have helped me more than you know. All the best in the future my dude.

[@Fuckingboredrn]

How was it, hoping to go to ranger school after my ait is over.

[@DocSwig]

ABOUT DAMN TIME!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@grivera973]

[@Eyembig2]

Yeah you miss it . Love the discipline and skills and purpose. Thank you Nick.

[@Joe-zq3tk]

I have option 40, videos like this are very helpful. Thanks man

[@Strongerbyhaleigh]

The music transitions in this were 🔥

[@micahnavarrete5250]

That Kendrick Lamar "cartoons and cereal" track went hard as hell. Good video man, currently enlisting as 11b then to ranger school hopefully!

[@anthonyschoggins9245]

videos have been steadily improving.... capitol shot was overexposed tho. A7sii have such good low light that if you're shooting with that be careful of over-exposing.

[@nonenone4885]

What do I need to do in order to go to ranger school

[@stockob12]

Leadership is showing your arms at different angles every shot

[@titan_Gundam]

Is the Rangers and green berets special forces and if so which one is better

[@aaronmaccie8958]

Only 2 minutes in but I love it already!

[@pgal6904]

So i have a Nephew named Jacob that keeps asking questions about the Rangers for 13 hes on track so far but keeps asking me like i know what he needs to do to become a Ranger! My advice was to push yourself in endurance sports all year round in highscool and take his classes seriously to score high on his ASVAB test as well as Pt test then to join infantry go airborne and get Rasp in his contract as well as picking Ft Benning as his Duty stationing. Am i wrong or missing anything?

[@bd928]

what is "ENDORANCE" ????? @4:03

[@a55tech]

If you hadn't heard the term "recycled __ phase" before, probably couldn't catch recycled.

[@MrGumding]

in relation to rotc when did you go to basic if you went

[@seasoldier1423]

[@enochjosiah9062]

this is a cool series

[@sumtingwong7408]

This editing is dope asf 🔥

[@samuelquintero5066]

great info. Question tho, is it wise for someone who isnt infantry to go to ranger school? for example, if someone who branched aviation wanted to go to ranger school, is it worth it?

[@healwithsteel]

Samuel Quintero hell yeah it's worth it. I went through and I am medical services

[@_Dolofonia]

+Daniel Coffeen I want to be a nurse practitioner when i get out of the army and I also want to be a ranger so a medical MOS is right for me. Were you in the regiment?

[@healwithsteel]

The Tech Bear you can certainly do both through the medical service corps. I've been in the medical service corps for four years now and have been to ranger school, air assault, airborne, EFMB, and dive school. It's all possible

[@_Dolofonia]

I was previously unaware of the medical service corps but my dream is to be in the 75th ranger regiment. I beleive the only medical MOS's are medics and medical management of some kind.

[@borisrodrigo1445]

Samuel Quintero you will get promoted faster if you pass ranger school

[@sailyourface]

Chuy's chicken fajitas are what I miss about Houston love that stuff.

[@tomjacobs9962]

Thanks for Sharing, Dude. Interesting

[@osamabinladen3390]

Hershey Baseball? oh man me too thats cray

[@nathanaelsilvius2362]

definitely very helpful and informative.. I am joining the Air Force out of high school next school year.. the plan is to pursue CCT. its just something i've always been interested in and driven towards.. The pipeline for CCT has a very high drop-out rate. which is reason for concern for me, because i have always struggled with gaining mass (muscle "general" weight) and have earned the title of "hardgainer". long story short. Nick Bare, your videos and your story has been an inspiration and motivation to me and my training, and i just wanted to let you know that i appreciate all that you have done and do.

[@Bilbus7]

How'd it go dude

[@Chavylifts]

I want to be in the 75th how do you go about doing it this is my last year before I graduate

[@ep_detail]

Like 30 songs in a 8 min video!! I agree you will definitely lose some weight during any type of sustained physical military training. Nice edit brotha keep killin it!

[@jdizzle875]

most slept on youtuber he's a freaking badass

[@edmlegend7224]

I’m a good runner but I would have to work on upper body if I ever tried to become a ranger.

[@jmwhite88]

what remix of humble is that? im into it

[@cstwin5998]

Can you wear something like a ankle brace in ranger school I have a very bad ankle I’ve injured badly several times

[@park9932]

music at beginning when jumping out of plane?

[@pablodonis8356]

Is that you at the intro jumping off the plane?

[@grabyourmochila4879]

What was your diet consisted of?

[@bnxsde]

Watching this to get motivated for Marine Corps ITX

[@arod1764]

Hey Nick, do think Preston or Joe could make it through ranger/air assault/airborne/BCT??

[@danb2346]

Trying to decide wether to go RASP or SFAS any input would be great sir.

[@healwithsteel]

danb234 depends if you want to conduct direct action missions or stability and training operations. Both are good

[@healwithsteel]

Trajan Sanchez 18x contract you go right after OSUT

[@A_Wrestler_ForChrist]

Trajan Sanchez that information is wrong you can go as a PFC you just have to be older than 21 have a gt of 110 and 270 or more on your PT.

[@ethantownsend794]

Not sure you can still get 18x contracts. Shortly after I got mine I heard they got discontinued.

[@healwithsteel]

josh - excellent number but they certainly are available. We have new privates show up everyday.

[@AceTheGamer]

what about 7th Ranger Regiment? would you have joined if you stayed in the Army?

[@AceTheGamer]

Trajan Sanchez meant 75th autocorrect

[@Pinktree513]

when he says he recycled training, does that mean he failed? or that he wanted to do it again?
