Another important factor with physical preparation is eating healthy (a balanced diet) and getting enough proper nutrients. Did you eat anything in particular that really helped with preparing for selection?
If you want it you can get it. However, you’re asking about winning a hold medal before even starting the sport. Pass basic, get trade certified and then get after it. You’re looking at about 2-3 years before being eligible.
About to join the military in 2025, I wanna join Ntog (Naval Tactical Operation Group) for 2 years (minimum req for JTF2) and after that apply and take the test. Already doing intense workout with rack sac under rain in the dark, worst possible conditions, take cold showers. I'm 27 yo and idk how i can work mental resilience but I firmly believe that if you believe in your capibilities you can do everything you put your mind to.
Ex sf and sar tech here. Stop taking cold showers for one. Enjoy your life. Two, basic calisthenics, michigan method run, interval swimming. Three, good diet and sleep well. Four, take either chess, mathematical poker or ethical hacking as a hobby to improve your cognitive functions and strategy. 5. Just go ahead and do it. Don't overthink.
@@Evantailsacrehow was the sar tech course and selection im thinking about trying out for sar tech in 3 years been infantry for almost a year but i dont feel im quite ready yet
@@Igetsome Overall, it is pretty straightforward and simple. You must be approved by your chain of command. Medical is well, medical. Physical is relatively easy and you should be good if you are infantry. Than comes the pre selection which is basic stuff ranging from cognition, mental, physical and a few stressful situations. This lasts 2 weeks and 50% make it through. The approximatively 1 year of basic training at CFSSAR is a lot of fun and very varied - medical, survival, Mountain operations, arctic operations, winter operations, diving, sea operations, parachuting... You will meet a few active Sar techs there who come for specific courses which is pretty cool. Overall, you don't have to overthink it: be ready mentally, prepared physically, show up with a good attitude and if you have problems with cognitive tests just train them before hand (it is the most tricky part but you don't need to Einstein either). You don't have to rush it either if you are in your 20's. You can become a sar tech in your 30's no problem, sometimes even later. Good luck!
I've toyed with the idea of re-inlisting to peruse the JTF2 pipeline... But the current political climate here in Canada and the woke culture infecting the CAF is making me seriously second guess it. Curious your thoughts on this? Push through the static to try and get there, or does that affect the highest level as well?
I did that at 29...but as I was training I just couldn't meet the needed speeds for running the Jtf2 recruiting guys stated I'd need to be competitive. I could ruck 24 hrs straight, but couldn't run decent 6 or sub min miles no matter how hard I trained. I found out later my hips were fairly deformed impeding my ability to run/speed. I had/have both replaced. But good luck if you do. Another unit guy told me the last guy selected at that time was a doctor, a champion kick boxer or something and a running phenom so a medical degree might help lol.
JTF selection is a cake walk we had to lower the standard when JTF was formed up we had way to many injuries , Patrol Pathfinder is the only hard soldiers we have now .
Excellent advice, being a warrior is great but being a warrior who can think despite everything hitting the fan is even better.
Recently come across your stuff, and I've watched almost all it has to offer. Great work.
Awesome! Training hard and staying sharp under pressure is also the best thing you can do to prepare for any emergency life decides to throw at you.

Also, what are the differences you mentionned in preparing for CSOR vs preparing for JTF2?
Any insight on CJIRU selection? How to prepare/what to expect?Thanks in advance
i did it.
just do crossfit stuff, cardio and focus on being confident in your decisions.
@@whythissucks829 Is the preselection manual(2016 1st edition) a good guide to follow or would reccomend doing something else?
Any thoughts on ages for attempting selection for JTF2 and/or CSOR? Considerations for those joining CAF in early thirties? Thank you

IS 30 years old too old to start the process with this stuff? despite never having any military backround previously?
sounds like MARSOC program
Would that apply for csor as well, or do you have any different tips for them?
can you do a vid on the real differences between jtf and csor
Sure can.
These clowns aren't JTF or JTF2 lol
JTF2 is exclusively RCAF since 2011.
@@seanturner7315 lol ok. What is JTF1 again? Oh yeah, doesn't exist
Not sure if it's true but I'm sure I heard one psychology test where they're locked in a dark box for a long time.
I heard they have to wear a drysuit for a week without taking it off, including crapping yourself. But then again, I've heard all kinds of nonsense

@@Corsse1.5 mile in under 9 minutes, ideally under 8.
