Ep 338: Failure Isn't Final - Lessons From A Failed AFSPECWAR Candidate

[@LeDiamondDog]

Mad respect Few people talk about failure 🙏

[@cyber_crypto]

15:51 I feel the same way, I love the CCT mission ( but now I have my degree). I’m black and never swam for real growing up, the swim is no fkn joke. Still training to swim 500 meters in 12 mins 30 secs for TACPO, almost there.

[@jamesapra4135]

So what I'm getting from this is, remain calm, pay attention to detail, and show up prepared

Goddamn Aaron is a complete savage today. Nobody was safe from a roast or catching strays.

[@daylongwin6437]

"Ooooh baaby!" Fern-Rod is a such a solid dude! Good memories.

[@cb15331]

Awesome episode…kuddos to this guy.

[@spelllingg]

What a guy, started out like oh this doof. But holy crap the resilience, mentality, THE ATTITUDE. Inspirational.

[@inkoftheworld]

Aaron is like "we have an open invite to anyone" and then roasts the crap out of the guest, lmao. I'm sure everyone will want to jump on that.

[@OnesReady]

That was pretty tame compared to what we say to each other, he got off easy!🤣🍑

Trent was my Cadre for at the time BA Prep Pilot course. Was a solid cadre, he explained a lot of it as simple as he could to our dumb cone minds. Wish I would have listen to him, glad to see him involved with this podcast.

Haven’t had the privilege to watch yet but there is no chance this isn’t Trent’s bastard son 😂.

Incredible episode 👍

Sgt Bos and Trish definitely made life "fun" at SWCC, LOL!

Back-Ender appreciation 🤘

[@tristanvankomen3220]

Did Aaron just get done watching David Lucas on Kill Tony before this pod??🤣😂 dude is hilarious with these roasts.

[@OK-otic]

Haven't been to SWCC but I learned if someone is trying to stay afloat by pushing you under, submerge him and he will let go instinctively, then push off and gain distance away. What was that 200 lb dude doing in SWCC if he can't swim? 🤷‍♂️ Gotta go walk the doggo now ❤

[@DaveedNation]

All the secfo prior cones watching this pissed as fuck

Maybe the pod cast guru’s can explain what DNR means then 👍🏻

@@stevenwaller9250 DNR? Can you tell me what time stamp in the podcast you’re referring to? Maybe Do Not resuscitate ? Was he talking about trying for a different career field?

[@AaronLoveHateClub]

Aaron’s just salty cause he knows he couldn’t pull of the SOAD facial hair

[@OnesReady]

@@AaronLoveHateClub This, as always, is true. Serj is amazing live, so I’ve seen the reality of what I will never be, in person.

[@Fyiaa95]

When you fail what is the backup job? I know army sends you directly to an infantry, where does the Air Force sends you? Also, is it possible to learn how to swim in bootcamp and still have success AF special warfare or do you need to know how to swim before you even get a contract?

[@jobs.1518]

Idk

[@awesomeguy2668]

Idk

[@BeholdAzog]

I imagine it’s whichever AFSC you enlist with initially. You have to ask a recruiter.

[@EloWhisperer]

“The wants and needs of the Air Force” I’m not in an don’t know much but it’s probably weapons or Security forces
