Calling family is a terrible idea, let alone going home. It rips you from that warrior mindset. Idk about others experience, but my family would always be overly sympathetic cause they had no frame of reference for what's normal in a military environment when I would tell them what I was doing. Makes you weaker for sure, at least it did for me.

This is why I emphasize strength training. It is so important. Imagine you show up and can't do pushups, logs, pullups, sit-ups. Instead, you're a runner and can't do any of the strength stuff. Imagine you get shot and have to drag you solider to a position and your skinny and can't pull shit. You are fucked. I would rather be a leaner guy and run 35-minute 5 mile and that's that. Strength is so vital to make sure you can withstand the struggles of training at a elite level. Be a hybrid. Be a runner and a strength guy.

[@owencastle7826]

The most important things are just not quitting. Anyone that can qualify could do it if they didn’t quit when it gets hard. People just quit when it gets difficult, especially if they haven’t had to complete for a spot on a sport team with a full time physical trainer. The push you to being uncomfortable, you can be strong af but if you’re a pussy you won’t pass

[@plutothree1]

I wouldn't consider any isometric exercises "strength training". Those are basic core exercises which are more tied into endurance. Strength training involves WEIGHTS, and that's not.what one needs in any kind of military spec ops selection program.

[@MojangMadness-d2d]

@@plutothree1 I forgot to add that in there. I know 🤣

[@MojangMadness-d2d]

@@plutothree1 I was specifically saying imagine you get to special operations training and can't preform those exercises because you're not strong enough due to not lifting weights. Thanks for you feedback

[@plutothree1]

​@MarshMallowMan-d2d That's the point I was making. You don't need "strength training" (lifting weights) at ANY point in the prep leading up to Spec Ops selection. It's a one-way ticket to failure. Bulking up with strength training (weights) kills long-term stamina and endurance, which are the attributes needed to pass a Special Operations selection course. You don't need above-average physical strength. You need to run fast, swim fast, have flexible joints, and.crazy endurance. "Strength training" in a prep phase won't provide those attributes.

When i was in high school, one of the football players father was a MSgt SOF in the Army and the man was an animal. He would come lift with us and i remember he could run like a running back and would hang-clean 270 like it was a joke. He didn't talk much but his presence was immediately felt in a room. He was always super tan with a beard (from being in middle east). You special ops fellas are just bred differently. 😂

I suggest adding roofing to your recipe. Specifically, in the year leading up to shipping the applicants should get a job as a truck helper at a roofing supply company. They'll work 12+ hour days in the summer, and possibly the winter down to freezing, hand off-loading 70lb. shingle bundles and accessories (in the heat, at weird angles, on a pitched roof, etc.), probably 500 bundles a day. If they do that as a job, they can work out all day and then either run or work out. The cumulative strain it puts on you is intense.

The people who make it through bud/s are the Os, the fleet returnees, and very VERY few boot camp kids. You need that time in the fleet or that SOAS process to make you a little more mentally tough. Just working out on your own is not enough, you need something on top of it, say wrestling, the fleet, or a hard hitting job to get you fully ready

[@mikekimveteran]

Jake is right. Do not go straight from high school. Join the Reserves and National Guard... There are plenty of Recon, ANGLICO, Army Airborne, AF Tac P, Navy Reserve SWCC reserves in New Orleans. Plenty of those hard units and later go active duty. You get great training and schools.

I thought about joining the US because my father is a retired Navy Seabee. He tried to get me to join the US Navy, but I told him I don't like being on ships because I get sea sick easily. My father was friends with a Navy SEAL who was in the Vietnam War named Randy Kaiser, who's Vietnam War story is in a book called SEALS, UDT, FROGMEN: Men Under Pressure. I went to Randy Kaiser's house for Christmas a few times. Being a Navy SEAL didn't appeal to me, but the US Army Rangers did. I didn't become a Ranger, but I did join the US Army when I was 18 years-old.

@@jakezweig I joined the US Army in 1999. In year 2000 I deployed to Kosovo to enforce martial law. My ETS date was in August 2003. I got out of the US Army and went to college. I don't think I could have gotten more out of my military experience. I was interested in being a US Army Ranger when I joined, but after deploying to Kosovo with A Company 2/327th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne, that experience was enough for me.
