Straight out of OSUT got deployed lol. Nasty Gurls they say hahah. At the end of the day do what serves you. Don’t do it for what others will think about you. Otherwise you won’t be happy. I wanted to switch to Active while I was in basic but I’m happy I chose guard.

[@thegreatgeekdetective6925]

I have many questions for this. 1. Do you get to deploy with active duty units as SF? 2. Can you volunteer to deploy with SF active units 3. Can I volunteer for other army training once I’m in the national guard? 4. As a prior service who ended as a specialist. Will I get my rank back? (Seems that something the recruiter would know but if anyone here knows I appreciate it) 5. Once you graduate or make it through SF as a national guard are you considered a green beret? (Stupid question but I just want to be clear on that) Any feed back would be helpful.

[@Izak213]

1. You can volunteer. 2. Depends on how long you have been out 3. Of course you are SF

[@w3irdflexbr0]

TheGreatGeekDetective yes you deploy with active sometimes. They’re sometimes supposed to augment active units

[@MarcusAsaro]

1. If you're part of an SF Guard team you will be deploying at some point so I don't know what motivates your question 1. If you want to play Army 24/7 while in the Guard, then become an AGR. And if you also like a high operational tempo all of the time why not go active duty? Rangers may be more appealing at that point. 2. If there is a need for your area of expertise, you can probably volunteer. 3. You can volunteer for many other army schools. 4. As prior service (E4) specialist you will get your rank back. If you're actually in the SF training pipeline and beyond, promotions happen quickly. 5. After the last portion of the Special Forces Qualification Course you will receive your Green Beret. But don't rest on your laurels because making it to an SF team doesn't mean you'll stay there. If you're a dirtbag and don't maintain standards, you can find yourself as an 11B after a short time.

Unit was a shart show and most always tried to find a corner to hide in all the time to do nothing. More than half couldn't pass PT and we never did any meaningful training while upper enlisted and officers did their paperwork. It wasn't what I was expecting and yeah maybe I just got a bad unit but I just wanted the contract to be over at that point so I was just counting the years. I should have went full active I liked the structure of active duty and being able to do what we needed to do and that unit just left a bad taste in my mouth that made me want to just be gone from it all. My advice is start active with a 3 year contract it'll be over in a flash and you'll know what you are in for and whether you like it or not don't be like me and sign a 6x2 right off the rip with national guard and get mired down in a bad spot.

I'd love to join the guard after I'm done with this program and it would be cool as hell to try for 18x through the Massachusetts 20th group -- but I'm going to have to talk to recruiters because it sounds like if you fail, you are automatically sent to infantry (which isn't something I'm afraid of, but I'd rather go into another in-demand MOS that is relevant to the trade I'll be studying -- electrician + automation technology -- they have a ton of electronics repair and operator based MOS's that are in-demand). Won't know more til I talk to someone and it sounds like I should hunt down someone from that 20th group specifically before talking to a more general recruiter.

[@MarcusAsaro]

When I did the SFRE tryouts, we had a few guys in their late 30s. The thing is, you have to have something to offer at the age -- being very athletic and possessing some good civilian "skills" are important. Age waivers exist as long as you have a quality that can help the team. Since you're only 27/28, don't worry about it. I would make sure you get your law enforcement career up and going first, then join the National Guard, stay in great shape, and finally attend a SFRE.

[@MarcusAsaro]

At least on the Guard side of things, their SFRE tryouts are, in principle, open to any branch. Obviously, the personnel in the other branches may have recently transitioned (or will transfer to) the Army National Guard. For example, when I participated in the SFRE for the 19th Group in California, we had a Captain from the Air Force PJs (ret) in his uniform, and a Recon Marine with his garb, both trying out alongside the rest of us reservists. There were also two civilians seeing if they can make it. To add to the bunch were a handful of active duty hopefuls, from a Ranger to a guy from the 82 Airborne. There were different branches represented, backgrounds, and age groups, all the way up to late 30s. The philosophy of open-mindedness that the 19th (and I'm assuming the 20th) SF cadre possessed in choosing whom to allow at the tryouts was definitely a virtue, and reflects their standards of cross-disciplinary expertise and maturity above the young and ignorant.

I don't get this. The UK has removed the SF status from reserve units (it was historical). The reserve units could never match the training, readiness of regular units. How honestly can these guys, no matter the commitment, match regular SF units? Can not happen. They are dedicaded and the line units want them, still tough, tougher in some instances, achievable and adds value!

[@shootingbricks8554]

The UK military is small compared to the US. The US saves some money by having reserve units. Also, the vast majority of 19th and 20th Special Forces Groups were prior active duty Special Forces Soldiers so the experience is there. There are actually benefits to this for example a Special Forces medic working as an ER nurse or paramedic. They get the best from both military and civilian worlds.

Not in the military but my friends said try 18X. They prep you for the SFAS plenty. If you have the mentality, you can do it.

[@MarcusAsaro]

Hint: Get into shape. It is physically impossible to push yourself through the entire SFRE and pass without being in shape. If you try you may get rhabdomyolysis, and that's on you.

[@justaguy4real]

I somehow skipped this stuff, went in totally out of shape at 34 and struggled my ass off. But I trained hard and smart, DS's at OSUT and Cadre liked me bc I busted ass doing everything and got into great shape. However, I tore up my body [mostly legs] bc started using them so hard and carrying so much weight they couldn't adapt fast enough [long story cut short] which made it way more difficult than if I went in prepared. I was given bad advice long before I shipped out about it. But it is def survivable and completable, just NEVER QUIT as its plastered everywhere, I sure didnt.

0:12 why was that national guardsman wearing Marine Cammies.

[@wvusmc]

Marines transitioning to the Guard under 18x contract, I believe.

[@malcolmxraw1342]

Its the Marines of the army

[@MarcusAsaro]

Ummm....No.

[@malcolmxraw1342]

I have gained wisdom since

[@natemel7810]

I think it's tough being a weekend warrior and then be deployed as an experience into the middle east with only bootcamp as your forté.

[@aaronbraum9267]

Who tf cares what branch you're in?

[@rickgurung330]

Mello Nate You know they have monthly drills where they train right? It’s easier said then done when you play fortnite all day.

[@usafdirtboyz2797]

I hate active duty and ex active duty putting down the guard....I worked with a retired Marine that called it the "Nasty Guard".....I served in 7 guard units and all had at least 50 percent prior active duty....I should have told that ex jar head he was full of shit, but did not need to get into that kind of drama at work...

Please read the Constitution and then save us from tyranny. Thank you.

[@mirekpilsudski]

Guards been pushing out alot of these videos. They must really need SF guys.

[@Marshall_Thompson]

Air Force has been pushing for Special Ops. recruits as well. Both branches have been having a bit of a downturn the last few years, and there's a concern that they might need to operate at a reduced capacity in a world with a thousand problems. The SEALs have a movie made about them every other year, so they're good.

[@mirekpilsudski]

@Travis Prather ya I knew SF needed guys but you can really see a huge push on the Guard side.

[@mirekpilsudski]

@@Marshall_Thompson AFSOC has been having problems forever. I remember like 5 years ago no branch was giving out waivers for med yet AFSOC was giving them out like candy if you were physically fit.

[@Marshall_Thompson]

@@mirekpilsudski Really? I must have missed my chance to put myself into the meat grinder. I've been thinking about enlisting, but I got a few things on my health records that will make doing so difficult. The Trump admin.'s push for recruitment has upped my chances at a waiver a bit, but I'm worried that MEPS won't even let me through the door.

[@mirekpilsudski]

@@Marshall_Thompson you wont know until you try. It took me awhile to get in and I needed like 5 waivers. Got them all. Give it a shot or you'll he regretting it forever.

Jesus loves you my friends!

[@soldiersaint6753]

Yes he does. People don't realize that God fully supports the warrior. They are our shepherds in times of war and even peace.

[@ramflow8466]

Nasty Guard for life

[@Walk_Off_0311]

[@FrAnC3sCoN123]

Follow your heart. I say COD. Oh, army national guard. Who makes good fish? Go to Southfield Road and Outer Drive by the Glory market soul food. There is another WCCCD. I'm a graduate. I'll take my third class there. Clarence bring me some shoes. Family Dollar size 10 with the snacks.

[@evolverespiritus3990]

Why ?

[@theoriginaljackal8196]

Why is that?

[@everythingUTrealestate]

They're probably only as good as active duty

[@M80-k5h]

Why the fuck would anyone who wants to do SOF join the national guard??

[@shootingbricks8554]

Most of 19th and 20th SF guys are prior active duty

[@xBloodXGusherx]

Wow. The National Guard gets so much shit. Look at the comments.
