[@coloradohigh3744]

I already notice a huge difference from the first episode to this one! You guys are only going to keep improving your skills for sharing information and I'm so excited to keep learning from you guys! Thanks so much for all the help you've given me already and will do in the future

[@peachescct8465]

ColoradoHigh thanks! Learning and improving is what it’s all about!🍑

[@MsFshuffling]

Being a EMT-b looking to go to the AF & become a PJ, found out about it 2 days ago and have been training like others lives depend on it. My only thing is I cant swim but im not going to let that stop me from being a PJ, im willing to learn to swim & constantly break those mental barriers

[@Jay15523]

These are gonna be very good podcasts

[@peachescct8465]

Harlem Jay thanks!

[@highinopenness2641]

Currently in development, pretty sure this podcast will help me get those orders faster! Good stuff, guys, please keep it coming. Very thrilled you all did this.

[@peachescct8465]

High In Openness thanks and getting the info out is the plan!

[@ChairPacer]

Update? How’d it go?

[@rent2386]

Update!

[@avarismejia3324]

Good to know that Being 5'7 and 155 shouldn't be something that will hold me back

[@OnesReady]

Yep, I'm 5'4 and was 144 lbs starting the pipeline. 🍑

[@vigorisFun]

Bro I’m the same lmfao I gained some weight at 170 rn

[@scottwin646]

[@David-mg5jx]

How did it go?

[@krevixbass228]

This makes me feel better as a 5,4 marine knowing alot of u guys are short and felt the same way being intimidated and thinking the same things i did being around huge jaked dudes. I think i made my decision and gonna try and get into special operations i dont really care what branch of not marines ill go army or airforce

[@IvanOfficial01]

So you can go through A&S more than once? How many chances do you get before they just drop you?

[@chandlerstrength4487]

What are you guys seeing from the older crowd going through? Are prior service older individuals making it through?

[@koenj9749]

Awesome podcast. Cant wait to crosstrain out of weather and into SR. Going all in. You'll see me at A&S and phase 2 over at hurlburt one day.

[@peachescct8465]

koen j looking forward to it!

[@recon2kyt587]

[@koenj9749]

@@recon2kyt587 So my plans changed since then, I separated in February and now I’m doing ROTC to become a STO. I’ve been training a lot and I believe I have to put my package in my junior year.

[@YohanM99]

Hooyah thank you guys for the information

[@OnesReady]

Glad to help out! Let us know if you have any topic suggestions and feel free to reach out to us at Onesready.com!

[@kelvinnguyen6048]

I like this new system 👌💙🇺🇲💪

[@JacobAndJamal]

Sounds like a good program , my only concern would be keeping in check, any kind of weird bias amongst people .

[@OnesReady]

We try to mitigate any bias with testing data, psych tests, and a panel of folks making the decisions rather than 1-3 people. We understand your concern though.

[@ColtRaids]

Yeah that was my exact thought, like what if someone held a grudge against you for no reason, and said bad things about you.

[@novadronetechnologiesinc.3299]

I will be a tacp

[@novadronetechnologiesinc.3299]

Rucking and training almost erryday thanks for liking my comment u guys I’m fired up!

[@ChairPacer]

Update? How’d it go?

[@lawrenceethangreen5545]

Silva doesn’t like those women noises 😂

[@elitenrg8281]

Is there any information/tactics/equipment that we should know prior to going to A&S such as certain weapon sytems (M4, M9, .50 Cal, Abrams velocity/speed etc), field nav, or breaches?

[@OnesReady]

Nope, come in as a clean slate so we can train you.

[@ehmt-19]

Hey guys, great video! Are there any updates since last year?

[@eligomez3607]

I’ve heard rumors that it’s possible to go from active army to active air force and to a&s, is this true? The infantry life isn’t cutting it for me anymore lol

[@rent2386]

going back to this old episode, Trent looks like he's interviewing me over zoom lol

[@stevenlandgren1879]

I have some questions I herd as of last week TACP now has to perform the 500m and 2x25m underwater. What are your gentleman’s thoughts., and why this change? I’m about to head back once I’m home from deployment. Thankfully Sgt Seegmiller gave me tips 5 years ago but no way am I prepared for that much swimming nor a chance to prep being deployed.

[@SwimFaster]

Tacp now will have some swimming

[@Growinginfaithwithdarius]

Do cross trainees have to do 8 weeks of prep course or do they do 2 weeks that's what I'm hearing.

[@whoismitchconnor120]

Are special forces granted to air guard?

[@danevt7579]

Do you have to pass the Past Test before or after BMT

Indoc sounded so much better.

[@lawrenceethangreen5545]

I’m terrified! The reason 70%+ fail Selection is because everyone is DYING in training... Brian I fear for my life. Please be there for my underwaters!

[@BurnedSpace]

@@Psych_Toad he’s obviously kidding clown

[@tylerparker9746]

How good do you have to be at swimming?

[@WamaziTech]

Close to as good as you can be. Not olympic level but good.

[@samiejadrny1164]

Is there a height requirement? And any advice on how to tell my parents that I want to go into special recon?

[@miguelrodriguez-pl5ru]

Just tell them what you want to do and educate them on the job your going to try and get. I’m looking at your pfp and I’m assuming you’re women. Hell yeah. I would love to see a women get into special operations and there have been so don’t feel discouraged. The pipeline is hard and you have to compete with the rest of the men as they do with each other so definitely train and got on your A game before joining. You got this.

[@WamaziTech]

There is no height requirement, there is no gender-bias, nothing like that only thing is that your able to compete along the other guys and are both mentally and physically prepared.

[@treetop2842]

I recommend wearing shirts without branding for videos about this subject.

[@OnesReady]

Cool beans, thanks for the suggestion!

[@Getvagazzled]

Hahaha who tf cares about the t shirts they're wearing. We're here to listen what they have to say

[@hjhj6122]

You listen to me. The man that Khun Frank saw is my friend. He helped send money to me first because my money sent to Frank. All friends sent me money. Yes, Frank has never sent me money.
