Tips from SF

[@dirtysok9856]

Hey, I was wondering if you don't get selected can you go back for the next selections?

[@JohnS677]

Yes, as long as you do not receive a "Never To Return". Usually you will get a 6 month, to 24 month return time.

Hey I know this question has nothing to do with the video however, I am wonder would have a better shot at ranking up and extra training courses in the Infantry or as a Calvary scout.

[@JohnS677]

To be honest I can't answer that. The kind of training you can do depends on your mos, how much of it you can do depends on your unit. Ranking up to specialist (E-4) is a time thing and doesn't matter what your mos is. To SGT just depends on where your mos promotion points are and is easier if your leadership works with you. So there are too many factors for me to answer that, and I'm not currently in either field. Sorry.

[@davidgilliam7976]

@@bradleywaggoner3032 FYI: As far as attending Training Schools, Infantry is the way to go then SF or PSYOPS. It is preferred to be in a combat MOS; however, if you are attached to a combat unit with a non-combat MOS, then you have a 95% chance to attend the Training Schools with a 4187.

Grip strength...order a few Captains of Crush hand grippers, start incorporating them into your training and watch what happens. I’d recommend the level 1.5 and 2.

[@JohnS677]

I suppose. I prefer to just grab dumbbells or cattlebells and walk.

[@brbv4473]

Did you know how to do land nav before you attended SFAS? Or did you learn from the Cadre? Thanks for the advice.

[@JohnS677]

Just what I learned in basic, which was practically nothing. And I wasn't even good at that.

[@davidgilliam7976]

@Jonathan Shelton, just make sure you know your running pace count and know how to do a back azimuth and know how to decipher/read a map (terrain and levels of terrain). And, do not be scare of the night...use the moon light and lights from the stars to see when not using NVGs.👍🏾

[@JohnS677]

@@davidgilliam7976 I appreciate the advice. Thankfully SOPC and SFAS land nav training is pretty good, so I'm much more comfortable with land nav now.

I'm currently at Fort Lee. To do SF do I need to reclass and how is that process? Also what is the qualifications to even start. As far as scores go. I'm a 91B at AIT

[@JohnS677]

Virginia Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall 239 Sheridan Ave, BLDG 417 Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, VA 22211 703-696-3726 That's the contact info for the SF recruiter in VA. Just give him a ring and he'll tell you the process to start. You don't reclass, you just drop a packet.

[@_Nomad_0]

@@JohnS677 I appreciate it. The video content you put out is very useful. Keep it up

[@davidgilliam7976]

@Outlaw Blacksheep, you need to complete 3/4 of your 1st term enlisted assignment first before reclassify to an combat MOS preferably as an PFC or SPC.👍🏾Good Luck!!

[@_Nomad_0]

@@davidgilliam7976 appreciate it brother

[@davidgilliam7976]

@@_Nomad_0 Good Luck to you because I did the same thing you are planning to do after I complete 3/4 of my 1st enlistment contract (76P/92A) and re-taking the ASVAB test to obtain a GT score of 110 and became an Infantry Officer 11A instead of reclassify to 11B. So, the sky is unlimited in your choices as long as you perform good and obtain a high GT score IOT reclassify into any "excellent" MOS that is suitable to you.👍🏾

Thank you

How is it you were dropped from special forces training for losing a rubber weapon when a female was roadkill twice and she still was allowed through?

[@JohnS677]

I hadn't heard anything about that.

[@tgildersleeve8295]

@@JohnS677 They shortened the course. No longer pass or fail.

[@davidgilliam7976]

Losing a "rubber" weapon is treated seriously as a real weapon.

[@tgildersleeve8295]

@@davidgilliam7976 So is cheating.

[@davidgilliam7976]

FYI:. Being "killed" during an road ambush or any scenario does not drop a 18X from the SFAS course. As long as the 18X candidate show aptitude and competent during the exercises, he or she will succeed through the infantry maneuvers.

[@landwaster4640]

There is probably a reason you have been selected. You are the opposite of a quiet professional.

[@hawman9859]

Dude, such an inspiration man. My whole life I've wanted to go Regiment but I know I'm not physically capable to uphold the standard. Any tips or workout guides you know about that could help?

[@ML-nj8fq]

Just start working. Theres no trick or scientific discovery that will make you physically fit and strong. You just need to start working

[@Tmanstuff]

How long did you serve in regiment?
