I went through selection in 77 and we had to do a 50 mile road march in 24 hours with a 75lb ruck. Run 13 miles and then swim 5 miles to qualify for scuba training. I’m 67 now and I can remember every minute of the 2 years it took me to graduate.

Just got back from class 08-22 and got picked up. Team week was definitely leagues ahead of any of the other events for myself. Carrying upwards of 180 - 200 pounds on your back is unlike any other kind of suffering I have felt. Took a lot of guts for the guys there to keep on going, and I have an eternal respect for the dudes that got through it. Definitely be mentally prepared for that!

Officially signed my 18x contract! Shipping out next summer for basic so I’ll be able to get another year of fitness in. Been following and watching your content for over a year now probably 2, and I gotta say I’ve learned so much from your channel! Looking forward to this opportunity/journey!

A guy from my (aviation) unit went to selection and made it. He was super humble and helpful before, and he trained super hard before he went. He came back to finish his time in our unit before the q course and he’s still humble and helpful. I think being a team player is probably really important for selection.

I was cadre when we first brought the long ruck back. Candidates did not believe the board and thought it was a joke due to "gaming". Souls were crushed

[@Chris09978]

Funny how yours was different the most common from what I have heard are the screening, SERE school, and not getting selected were pretty hard for most cause some don’t even make it after the screening.

Down pilot was bad… there’s something called drunk pilot now… it’s ten times worse. The plus side, you’ll do both.

[@TheJetlife94]

the stuff Kurt said about the star exam, I felt that. Walking through the woods in the middle of the night was pretty rough. Such an eerie and lonely feeling and you can't see shit. I got lost for a few hours lol and one of my boys got attacked by a fuckin goose 😂

[@SpyderSuasponte]

This is why I feel we need to go back to our old days of only recruiting E4s promotable to E5 and O2 to O3

"Revert back to your fundamentals" is huge for any military school. Ranger School was the same way. They tell you the exact steps to follow for setting up a patrol base, doing an ambush, etc. The military makes is "simple stupid"/"stupid simple" and does give you the "fundamentals."

The hardest part is not ever trying. Take it from this old 82nd Panther J's, I regret giving into the pressure of staying stagnant in my military career evolution. I felt like I was giving up on my unit if I was to try to advance. Don't do that. If you want something, do the hard work, don't listen to the internal and external BS & try with everything you have in you to achieve that said goal! Don't live with the what if's. You only got one life, live it to the fullest and try to get what you want.. Adapt improvise and overcome by any means necessary! Be fear Chasers!

A note concerning Land Navigation. Never put your weapon down. Shit gets lost in a hurry.

[@CEDRICKINGMSG]

Bro, this is super great for guys that are getting ready to head out to McKall but it’s also great for guys who’ve been through this experience! It reminds us of the king incredible things we’ve conquered. Sometimes that’s just enough to help snap us out of some tough times!!!!!
