Whether there's the chance of combat or not I gotta say the more I learn about sf and train to achieve my goal the more I want it regardless, being on an ODA seems like the tightest group of friends you'll ever have and the adventure of the job itself along with the history of sf is just amazing, everything I aspire to be. Thanks for the awesome video buck and telling us how it is

I never wanted to be in combat, I wanted to be relied on and meet that expectation. I got plenty of both in Afghanistan and Iraq, especially in Helmand province in that mad summer of platoon house fighting. Now I'm proud of my service but it took a while to feel like that, I was questioning was it worth it when I first got out. I miss my mates and the empty table places at reunions gives me that empty feeling in the pit of my stomach. Respect from the north east of England buck

I can't even lie, I was this dumb dude when I was Private. I thank God for my squad leader who truly helped shape me as the man I am now because he really instilled in me that combat should not be searched out. Of course always be ready, but combat is not some movie everyone walks out ok. Thanks for this lesson and advice, it really is underrated. Also thanks for the shout-out for your wife's channel. I'm going back in (save your trash throwing, I don't care) and my wife has been ridiculously supportive. So her channel sounds like a great resource. Thanks man!

I've always read in several old books I used to love about SF that a famous saying is a green beret is always a teacher first and warrior second, sure they're trained warriors but more importantly have the maturity to be a role model and mentor to a resistance force under an oppressive regime which is what always appealed to me helping a foreign country just make things better and happier. Already in the Army and last month another unit on the airfield here at Drum got deployed to Afghanistan to support the evacuations, just thank God every day it wasn't my unit if you're not in or weren't in the military you don't know shit about being deployed its not like the movies.

My son recently joined the Marines. Not SOF, currently in MCT. We had several discussions before he signed, I supported him 100% but the one serious conversation I had is that he 100% was ready to give the ultimate sacrifice. Obviously never want to have to go through that as a father, but wanted to make sure that he fully understood the gravity of what could happen.

The Cadre told my boy, that it’s been watered down so some women could get through. They said they fought each other daily, boxing, or wrestling and this has been stopped. You are absolutely correct. A family friend who is a LtC retired, has two of 3 sons who are GB. His youngest son was Killed, IED, Afghanistan. His older son said he retired because he was tired of his friends and brother being either killed or maimed. I can tell he is struggling.

I am enlisting soon for the 18x. I have been preparing physically and mentally. A martial artist for over 6 years, and racing motocross since I was 4. Combat is the last thing I want when I think about the job. I know I must be prepared to give my life for the sake of my team, and I'm okay with that. But I want to go Delta so that I can save more lives than I take. I don't think people realize the cost of taking another person's life and anyone that is happy to do so has a few screws loose.

Besides, combat deployment or not... It's all about preparedness.. You can't start to train SF guys as SHTF.. They need to be ready to go at the onset, and nobody can predict the future, we can only make educated guesses. Thus, having good and squared away SF teams ready to go at all times is vital!

Hey, great video. I love watching videos like this. I was in the 19th Special Forces Group. I was not a Green Beret and never had the chance to finish my school. I didn't get a chance to go to SF Select. I was in the process and got deployed in 2002. It was a rough deployment and took a toll on me. God Speed to you and all the SF brothers out there. I wish I had another opportunity to go back and become a Green Beret, but I'm to damn old with to many health issues. I still take a lot of pride in serving with the 19th Group in OEF.

To be honest man, one of the biggest draws for me to SF is working to train other units/teams/whatever around the world. Especially looking to get in as an 18D, medicine is always helpful. Hell, what you do here is a lot like what I'd expect from SF and paying knowledge forward. I'd imagine SF has a bit more knowledge swapping than we can provide to you through KZbin though!

@FNG ACADEMY you and I talked about this once. The experience of combat is something I've always wanted. I respect and hear all you've told me and us all on the channel regarding it. Being the "cool badass tough guy " is never the goal . But being able to be a green beret , who is able to be part of the bigger picture, the brotherhood , the all around experience of learning, fighting and growing and supporting with and for the guys on the left and right of you as well as the people in this great , free country. That is what the goal is. The combat aspect , is just attached with it all. To put 100% into combat as well as 100% into every other part of being a green beret would be the real honor.

Love this, thanks Buck! My buddy just graduated 18Delta school last April(sh) and there’s an EMS instructor at the college I just graduated who had just gotten out of the COARNG this past Summer who was a long time 18D that I talk to often about SF.. I just graduated nursing school (RN), and have been an EMT for a decade and a Ski Patroller for about nine years. I joined the COARNG as a 68W and leave for BCT next month with the intention of dropping off a packet for SFRE in the future once I get into better shape! Nursing school did me no favors there. I love the thought that becoming an 18Delta will make me more proficient as a nurse, and help me in ALL aspects of my life and career ventures, not just from doing “cool guy” shit and sending rounds down range. Thanks again!

@@diomedes39 hey buddy! So that would be a better question for an 18D. I’m still in the process of getting ready for SFRE/SFAS. Working as a 68W now with the guard, and in the ER as a nurse and still part time ski patrol. I went ahead and picked up my paramedic cert too. As for ICU to 18D, there’s this really great book “Hammerhead Six” about an ODA with the Utah National Guard I’d recommend looking into. Their 18D was an ICU nurse. I did a few months in the ICU, but my heart is in emergency medicine. I think if you plan to go SF, you might as well pick up that paramedic (one last test you’ll have to sit for/stress about in the Q-course) and it’s too easy with a critical care nursing or ER background. I went through Crowder College. If you can get some ride along time too, all the better. Nights are tough man! That’s what I’m working right now in a level one ER. I feel ya.

@@diomedes39 I was an EMT prior to going to 68W school, then started my nursing job after I graduated AIT. 68W is too easy. Get your EMT-B cert prior to enlisting and you’ll get to skip like half of AIT as an “accelerant”. It may suck to sit through EMT-B school while already working/being a nurse, but it’ll be worth it to not have to sit through that shit in AIT. You might be able to challenge the NREMT exam as well as a nurse in your state. Or, just bite the bullet and do an RN-Paramedic bridge. The one I did was only 8 weeks.

Those cool classified missions might be in Mexico, most likely with with a GWOT style occupation closely folowing, the Cartels are too deeply embedded in the Mexican government for them to fix the problem and they are growing out of their control and more importantly, their borders. Some of the Cartels have more then doubled in power since the pandemic started and few cartels have waned in power. Many sons of the Cartel heads were born in the US as citizens and are coming of age around now, and soon it will be too big of a problem for the US to ignore and too big of a problem for law enforcement to handle on their own. It's a strategic interest to keep hard illegal drugs out, keep our citizens healthy and keep China from profitting off of Cartel control in Mexico as they have started to. Especially off of Mining and drug trafficking. This kind of stuff is super interesting to think about.

Also, I do have a legit question or two Buck, but, 1) do SF guys who go to South and Central America see combat? Like it’s an honest question because I know we don’t really ever fight wars over there, but I know there’s a lot of Cartels and rebels and anti government groups (such as FARC). And 2) I know your focus is more Green Beret stuff, but can you sometimes talk about your time as a police officer and stuff like that? Like what’s it really like? Politics? Action? Day to day routines? Sometimes I think about going that way, although I know the current culture is also all over the place with it. Thanks brother! And for all you do!

Always worth it. This younger generation has been miscued due to 20yrs of COIN and seeing footage of combat. Think about all those that served during the Cold War. Listen to what Buck is saying. #Becarefulwhatyouwishfor RLTW < 3 > DOL!

Hey buck! Loved this video but I wanted to ask about PA (Physician assistant) and special operations is there such a thing. Cause what I found out that only the regiment has that job as an option PA. And how dose a doctor become a green berets or cans be apart of the community? This is a reality check for most people out there!

once you go that route you will be out of regiment, but you can try to get assigned as an attachment, being prior SF will help with that request

Should add to the part about signing up for the person to your left and right that whether it hanging off a mountain, jumping out of a plane, or talking them through life, helping them with mundane shit like moving a couch…whatever. The military is a brotherhood…and it extends to things outside of the company/combat even when the uniform is off.

There will always be conflict somewhere when there are people. Even if everyone had identical beliefs and we're the same race of people and looked the exact same the world would have conflict.

I read about an 18D during the Vietnam war going out and teaching their nurses and helping their medical locations grow and that's what made me want to be an 18D. Now with combat going away are those types of missions still here or what other kinds of missions are similar that they get to do. Also I got 1 more year to go until I'm old enough to go to selection thank you for all your advise.

Even in peacetime SF units frequently deploy to other nations to train military, police or other organizations in various skills. That is why the language training is so important, SF people need to be able to teach various technical and tactical skills to people who may not speak a word of English.

I started shooting again after a few years, was watching videos on marksmanship techniques. Found Ryan Cleckner's videos on rifle shooting, liked the cut of his jib. Started looking into more of his content, his experience. Found some videos on SOTIC, thought it would be awesome to audit a course like that, but of course that's not possible. So, I found some videos describing what the course was like. Then other courses. Thought to myself, "I think I could do this." Then, "If I have the capability, don't I have the responsibility?" If not me, then who? Maybe it's time to stop wondering and start finding out. Time to start training.

Worse yet after 20 years the US government walks away and gives Afghanistan to the Taliban when they were completely contained with no US casualties for a year. Looking back to Vietnam from now it makes me wonder if the creation of special forces has been worth it.

I cannot deny that, though I agree with Buck, I still would like to see action. Because I have to know what it’s like. I’m not somebody who can be fake and claim something I haven’t done. However, at a certain point, you must realize that not everyone does, and you must accept what you are truly asking for. You also must be content with what you have done to keep war away. I was a former US Marine, and I remember being really upset that I didn’t go to war, until I realized one day that I went to the Philippines and helped train their Marines. What I may have given them may have saved their lives. And it’s the same, please correct me if I’m wrong, with SF. You are training other nations on how to get those men you train home alive. That is worth ALOT. Also, I do feel like, life lesson here, but if you are doing ANYTHING for simply one aspect of it, you may want to check WHY you’re pursuing that. Check your heart. (Proverbs 4:23) And, to take a mans life, that is something that is, while I can’t say for sure, probably very hard, no matter how evil and misguided those people may be. They are still humans.
