Really good stuff mate

Great tips Rhys 👍 Another variation I like is do the pushup on the knuckles/clenched fists - it adds about another 100mm to the stroke length of the exercise! Cheers, loving your channel mate 👌 jk

Any guys you know of that have passed on the keto diet?

G'day Rhys, I'm leaving for Kapooka in early Feb planning to be a rifleman, and i'm really considering trying for Commandos later down the track. Just wanted to say that your channel is a gold mine for special forces information that can't be found anywhere else. Really happy I came across your channel!!

Didn’t it already happen ?

Thanks Rhys - Every journey begins with a single step…

this channel is an underated gold mine

Why are you only talking show something so we can know more 😊 thanks

As a health professional, I can endorse your sleep routine and advice

What about going in as a senior NCO?

what about methylated spirits?

(Hey hey, 100% some audio distortion on the top end when voice levels gets louder, been listening on the PC and phone :) )

Hey Rhys maybe check your mic levels I think they're in the red there's a bit of distortion (decibels)

What about if picking the reserves path if youre already in your 30s and have a professional career in a certain field already? Is it better to just go in as an officer as you're already mid-management level at your civilian job and just continue in that capacity in your reserve Regiment and shoukd you pick a trade similar to ehat you already do, so it serves as a crosstraining opportunity or is it better to join as an NCM/"Digger" and go in as infantry, since it's part-time and the only job you cant have the chance to do as a regular civilian, albeit being alot more physically tasking than say taking up a Digger role in Signals or something else ?

Hey mate, I’m a chemical engineering student and will be graduating in 2026. It’ll take me 12 months to get into the reserves infantry at least, having just started my application, so should I just wait until I’ve finished my degree and then go full time infantry? I can always get a civvy job as an engineer later.

Hey mate, I've been in Army for just over a year now (joined at 17, am 18 now). Just wanted to know what a good age and how long I should serve before looking at giving selection a crack. Cheers

No personal history with SF, but I've encountered this attitude with other selection processes. I always point out that standards being lower doesn't actually help put you any higher on the list ie if the pass criteria was 7/10 and its now down to 6/10, sure you've 'passed' the minimum, but all the blokes who were putting in the work to get 7/10 before are still getting 7/10, and when they go down the list to pick who they want for the job all those 7/10s are going to be ahead of you

Thoughts on the importance of TAG E/W with AFP TRT, and state police like TRT/SOG/CIRT/SERT being pretty decent nowdays is TAG rotation a waste of time

This is a good move by the ADF. A universal selection standard is necessary for such small elite units. Before the commandos were given tier 2 status. Now, all selection, training, and funding will be equal, which is what it should be.

Wildcard question, any idea if this sort of process would still be open to applicants who’ve fought in Ukraine? Or is that more of a security clearance/background specific situation? Asking for a friend.

Do you think it’s possible to pass direct entry?

Hello Rhys, just came across your stuff so apologies for ignorant question as I'm sure you've answered it many times Would 33 be to old to begin training for direct entry? Do they still take applicants that might not be fully qualified until 36 / 37? Thanks mate

Any thoughts on posture?

ARES - Pro: you can ring your mum to pick you up if the going gets tough.

Thanks mate. This has been a massive confidence booster. I’m a 34 year old prison officer that’s looking at joining the army (infantry) or police (with an eye towards specialist roles). Although still playing footy and being fit I was worried I was already too old. This has potentially hanged my outlook.

Keep up these videos mate, I’ll be joining next year and your advice is top tier 🙏 appreciate it

This is great and very underrated content! I know several guys who completed SASR selection. Very interesting to hear the persepective here of someone who has both passed selection and been a member of the DS. Check out a doco called 'battle for the golden road' about SASR selection several decades ago, someone uploaded it to youtube not too long ago.

Hi mate just found your page thank you for all the info you provide. Greatly appreciated.

Shit yeah thanks for putting this out, Rhys! I’m 30 and an Aussie permanent resident from the U.S. and want to do the Aussie selection. Can’t believe they just changed the ruling for foreign residents and enlisting. Hopefully I can then get some sooner than what I was thinking, which would be later!

Glad you’re enjoying them mate 🤙

F*** these are so good mate. Thanks very much!

Hey mate what age range do you reckon it's best to have a go for sf

Hey mate, for commandos selection do you have to do overhand grip (fingers going away from you)?

My question is im wanting to do sasr selection i will be 49 i got to pass sfet first. Is 49 too old???

Do you think 2 CDO should get diving capabilities like SASR??

You look so much like paul rudd but with a beard, also great vid.

Hi Rhys, For selection are you required to wear Combat Boots or Tactical Boots, or is it just personal preference as long as they are an ADF approved boot?

Rhys mate thanks as always. Amazing content. Still on the path and the journey continues. All the best with the UA-cam channel.

Goodluck with the new channel ~ suggest responding to followers in early days ... it's an opportunity to build rapport & brand

Best advice. Don’t prepare because you’re supporting corporations and not the freedom of your country.

Hi man just wondering are you American. I'm Australian, would this be the same for 2 Commando Regiment and SASR (the special operations in Australia)? Also right now I really want to go Special Operations. Any tips on training, I'm 14, I do Army Cadets and I recently just started the gym and do a little bit of running. I relise it takes years and years to get physcally and mentally ready. Do you have a training plan or any tips that I can follow/do so that by the time I want to go to SF I would be ready. Also I'm not going direct entry, I plan on going through Infantry and build that fitness then go for SF, any tips?

I guess I’ll have to get me beret and find out the hard way, bugger me!

If you don't finish the 20km pack march in the required time would you have to redo it and finish within the time limit to continue on?
