You asked Buck, and Master Jesus spoke "Ask and you shall receive" In the "ASPCA, We Give a Voice to the Voiceless" that's why We need Your Help, Rescue Animals are wonderful for Veterans with PTSD, they understand because they have been in a way in their boots. "A Dog is the Only Thing On Earth That Loves You More Than He Loves Himself" Doggie Wisdom 🌬♥👣🐾 I am powerless over this, its not my plan, I am just being "True" like You, revealing my favorite charitable organization like you asked and I know some are laughing at me and I doubt any of you will agree. However i have always been straight up and to the point" Grateful for letting me share.You are Awesome and Wonderful for Being so Straight Up! You touch me to the Core.

Back in the early 80’s, a fellow infantry Marine who was a stud, was running and exercising like crazy. We asked him what was up and he said he wanted to go Recon. First Shirt heard about it and the next thing you know, this Marine started mysteriously pulling extra shit duties, guard duty, etc. He eventually made it, however what you say is so true.

that sounds like a POS 1stSgt... when I was a 1SG and CSM, I made sure that any aspirations from my soldiers were realistic and gave them opportunity to succeed with support. I also pushed back against BDE and DIV whenever they tried to say "no". I ran a DS BN, and had a soldier who was on meds for PTSD. DIV tried to say "no" immediately. I talked to the Commandant of USADSA. They had a medical officer on staff. Put him on orders to go, and she evaluated him as having never had proper treatment (thanks, VA). Got him treatment, and the Commandant told DIV he was clear to attend. DIV was freaking out ... "but, but... we thought..." hahahaha. Guess what? That soldier not only went on to be an awesome DS, but he eventually became an instructor at USADSA.

My biggest mistake was telling my inner circle my goals actually. No one will put you down as hard as your parents will. As if my constant over thinking wasn't enough, there was always a well meaning "I want what's best for you" from them followed by a story about someone their cousin's sister knew who just didn't make it or a story about how horrible that thing actually was. Now I'm 20 and I've got a few extra miles to walk on that path.

There are people who will sabotage you, sometimes for seemingly no reason at all. You don't know what's going on in other peoples heads. And you would be shocked at how many people, out there who will hate others for some of the most stupidest & absurd reason's and / or take pride in ruining other people's lives & plans, just for the mere pleasure of doing so. Most people can't really wrap thier head around that, because we;re not like that, and most of our friends are generally not like that, but you will run into people like that, once in a while, they will even be your "friend".

When I swore in my liaison was a damn ex marine of all people and I told him my name and mos (18x) and this sob was like “you sure you can make it” like man why the hell do you think I’m in front of you right now? It’s definitely not to back out when my dream in right in front of my face. To be honest I’ve always had that “sit down and watch me” mentality but I’ve started to realize how much I love the feeling of being doubted. To me it’s like the burn when you are in a good workout, it just makes you go faster and push harder. I don’t enjoy it so I can say haha told ya so but I enjoy it cause when I break that wall down I know in-spite of it all I prevailed and I got better.

At a young 69 years I’m far beyond anything SF or the desire for said. That wouldn’t stop me from defending, and I train for that almost daily, but stumbling on FNG Academy reinforces what I’ve told my kids and young people about desire and goals. It doesn’t matter what it may be: Keep it real 100; keep it in your closest inner circle. Yes: people do not want to see you succeed - in almost all avenues of life. Sounds pessimistic but unfortunately it is true, especially in those careers that get close to the public eye or the scrutiny of your peers.

Fun story; Had a gym buddy tell me I couldn’t bench press two plates (225lbs) because I was “skinnier” than him. “You need to gain more weight bro to hit two plates you gotta be at least 160lbs bro; I can’t even hit two plates and I’m heavier than you” he told me. After I proved it to him he gave me “props” “dayum bro good job!” 😂 His Ego is his enemy smh

Word of advice to individuals looking for a special operations contract. Find a recruiter that shares your drive. From my experience, these are the minority. If an NCO, even a combat veteran, puts you down real hard with statements that have no backing, move on. If an NCO tells you the harsh evidence-based truths to the path of special operations or blantantly calls out where you are lacking, that is just someone leveling with you. But understand that recruiters are human and they may be sheer assholes and/or losers. Do not take what they say as gospel. Research yourself and come to the desk with knowledge, and always be willing to walk away.

This really struck home for me, because I just realized how guilty of it I was, I'm in the middle of trying to become a TACP, and quite a few people who had tried to transfer to the same unit I'm trying to go to now were telling me about how I didn't even stand a chance because I wore glasses and there was depth perception requirements and whatnot, and it clicked to me that I'd already be exposed to it! That's not to say I have any intention of letting anyone but medical tell me I can't do it, but this is a very real thing, and it started to occur to me how important it is that only people who "need to know" what I'm planning, should know!

I’m glad I was a Ranger Qualified mechanic before going to SFAS. After my 3rd Ranger Batt time, I was sent to leg land. So when my leaders saw me rucking, at the gym and doing extra PT they just thought, oh there goes Mr. 300, or Ranger Rick at it again….till one day I got my orders for selection and then you hear it… You’ll be back right here with us. Well I said, I’ll be back in about 23 days to start turning in my CIF. I’m glad I went SF, because looking back now, I couldn’t see myself doing anything else. All the arthritis I have now was well worth it. I laughed to myself, when you said someone told you to go see the outgoing SGM….before you finished the story, I said….well that was a bad idea. I’m glad everything worked out for you. Maybe it wasn’t meant to be. Keep on giving out content.

I was active duty AF in 1986 and the U.S. Marshals came down to do some recruiting. I made up my mind right then that i would be in the USMS. It took me until 1998 to get hired by the Marshals. The only one I ever shared that goal with was my off duty supervisor (wife). That’s the way to go, keep your cards close to the vest.

Announcing your plans is a good way to hear God laugh. And I agree about the C co thing- new guys regardless of background don't need to be there until they have spent a year or 2 on another team. If someone "comes up" in cif, eventually they will leave for some reason or another, and end up on a "regular" team- likely as a senior- with no previous experience on that side of the fence.

I feel like telling others about your goal is also a good thing because then you can get haters/doubters and you can use that as motivation to help you, but I mean it really just depends on what type of a person you are

@@thomasjdewilde exactly, be the “quiet professional”. Meow Mix if you start talking left and right about how cool your plans are and then you end up failing, they’re sure as shit going to make you feel way worse. Keep it on you and flex it all you want when you’re done.

I personally don't ask people what i want to do right off the bat unless i get to know them well. But if someone or a higher rank asks me what i want to do or why i have marsoc screening checklist, it's a given...lol i don't like to talk about it but i accept that it happens and its a given if you try to do this type of stuff. Just try and be humble about this stuff is all. Swallow your pride. As always, Great content and congradulations on the baby Sean! have a good friday.

Loose lips sink ships. I get you bro. Being former USN SAR I get it. Now as a commercial corporate real estate advisor, I’ve learned to never discuss my transactional pursuits. My industry is hyper competitive as is SO (although I have no context there). Loose lips sink ships.
