I am 75years old, after being broken and formed in Special Forces, Mac Sog and spec ops. You cannot change, it's with you for life. I still train am still in shape even though am 100% disabled Still push everyday
@@1anre That is not the VA's definition of 100% disabled. Many Veterans are 100% disabled meaning that their injuries incurred during their service are not completely treatable and require care for life. Some Veteran's disabilities include an inability to function with mobility while others are cognitive. Many are a combination of both.
Thanks for an inspiring video. As a Nurse Anesthetist in an FST, I had rolled up my sleeves mid-forearm to keep all the gunk off of me when doing my work, my SM always yelled at me for that. It was great to see the SM with his work sleeves up a little. I supported the SF in Khandahar, it was like an excellence university, it had a big big impact and influence on me in helping me have higher expectations and knowledge of myself and others. It is these soldiers' influence and training in Ukraine that is helping the Ukrainians be so successful. General and CSM, if you are reading this and can, please bring the concept of prolonged field care as part of the common knowledge and training within the Reserves and regular army.
Thanks for watching and thanks for your service. An FST is a tough job, but critical to our success on the battlefield. We can always improve our medical expertise in the field.
" these soldiers' influence and training in Ukraine that is helping the Ukrainians be so successful" NO PROOF. Always taking credit for other people's hard work. Disgusting!
@@The_Conspiracy_Analyst YES in the honor and spirit of the clandestine nature of the men, I am officially denying that we train Indigenous forces in Ukraine, we have nothing to do with that country. So sorry for any confusion. 🤫🤫🤭
9:30 CSM talks about teaching being where SF soldiers find mastery. In education theory, there is one level higher, which is the creation of new knowledge. So pushing your faculty to be innovative as SMEs will elevate them and the schoolhouse.
Excellent information and humble and competent leaders, this is how you go far, I am interested and I wonder if an ODA has 12 soldiers, if 1 or 2 more MOS is opened, it means that in the near future then 1 ODA will have 16 soldiers because there are always two soldiers with the same specialty@@jedburghpodcast
@@1anre Yes, there are opportunities for cross training at times for ODAs and SAS, just as ODAs train with other forces across the globe at different tier levels.

I'm of the 9/11 Generation. I never planned on joining the Army 9/11. I changed that. I was a senior in high school when 9/11 happened, but I already had a scholarship to a university that my family pictured for me my entire life at that point. I'm from South Philly and going 4 hrs away for University was something I wasn't prepared for maybe I could of got it together but first anniversary of 9/11 drew me into signing up for the Army. Was in basic training in June 2003. AIT until December 03. I was the in Iraq Jan 2004 for the next 7.5 months. I served in a combat unit im so proud of the unit im from. I was not anything like a SOF but we helped them and I never stuttered under fire and I was a lot. In a FOB the whole deployment. But I couldn't adjust to being in the regular army. Out of my 1st 14 months 7 were actually deployed. I made so bad decisions but God had a plan. I have gone through hell but I made it out alive with a clear purpose to devote my life in helping Veterans and I have been. My unit lost 34 absolut Warriors RIP. 1/37 AR Bandits till I die. I appreciate this podcast I just discovered it. Sometimes I wish I was sent to a unit that wasn't already deployed. I only knew combat Army. My family has fought in all of our wars and I have the paper (can't find Mex war yet) I have Army on my chest. I was naive when I was young but God had a different plan. Take care!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I was 2 weeks into being 20 and I was In legit Iraq lol. The 1st time I ever drove in life was in Iraq I had never driven a vehicle in my life but I pulled it off by the time we left Iraq I was my platoon Sgt driver with my own Humvee Just telling stories I mean no harm
I wish the Army would set up an SF team that would allow older Americans that are still in shape to try out for SOF. I think SF, since they are being pushed to accommodate, should set up a program for women only, for older men only, while maintaining the quality of SF without sacrificing the younger men’s training. Keep SF the way it was at its top hardest to get in but creat an umbrella that allows women in on their level and don’t bring the men down to their level but have a specific one for women and older men. This would benefit SF a lot I think. I wanted to join back in the 90’s. It being considered legally blind I obviously couldn’t. But with the advancements in lasik and eye surgery I know have a 20/20 vision and missed out on my dream job but now I’m to old, 51. But, I might not recover as fast as the younger guys but my wisdom is greater.
Thanks for watching. Most Initial training isn’t classified. Some specialty training is. We are working over time to cover as much as we can to show how capable and how competent our Special Warriors are. 🇺🇸
I see a common interest in all these senior leaders speaking in regards to 18x more than they do AD or NG soldiers going through SFAS/QCourse. It is obvious their intent is to recruit people from high school, college or off the street and train them over a conventional serving member!!!!!change my opinion
@@alexR00000 Really, WTF?! Even all USAF STS and USN require MFF for spec ops roles. I saw so many obituaries for SF and most of them did not have the full preparatory schooling before being assigned to an ODA. Sad!
SOF is all marketing. All hat and no cattle. None of the hero worshipers ever use any critical thinking skills when it comes to this. The ONLY guy that I've seen write well about it is John T. Reed, and yeah he was a Green Beret in 'nam.
Yeah, they are all hat and no cattle until they bypass your doorbell camera, don’t trip your alarm and double tap you while you are asleep in bed next to your wife without waking her or your little Chihuahua.
Special Forces Special Forces Navy Seal Navy Seal blah blah blah 🙄🤡🌎…After world war II i seem to remember the guys of that generation getting on with life and not constantly monitzeing their experiences in the media…
@FTW1374, Only SEALs are monetizing the fact that they were in SOF. If you knew anything about Green Berets, you'd know that there is no comparison. This podcast alludes to the fact that the skill set and mission set of of Special Forces is much broader than that of SEALs. For example, every SF soldier is required to learn and maintain proficiency in a foreign language. And, we Special Forces vets don't write books full of lies (American Sniper) and make movies glorifying their most horrific fuck ups (Lone Survivor). One of Special Forces' mottos is "Quiet Professionals", which has been coopted by SOCOM to inaccurately describe all SOF troops. And, your ignorant criticism shows that you didn't really listen to the substance of this podcast. And, what the fuck have you done or achieved in your life compared to these men who are dedicated to excellence? You're just another keyboard warrior criticizing those who are most likely better than you.
Well let's consider there is always a payoff for everything we do or don't do. I don't know what the statistics are for the consequences of not speaking about the time in the war. I know some of the Navy seals have publicly battled out their opinions of videos versus tight lips. I'm not a soldier I'm just a patriotic civilian warrior who looks up to special forces Green berets as officers and gentlemen humility beyond all others. For me, you all seem to bring forward the respect, the integrity, the purpose, with drive and determination for God self and others. The world war II and Korean in Vietnam vets I believe suffered more in their silence then maybe we think. There's a saying "What Prophets The Man who gains the whole world but suffers the loss of his own soul." There's a balance with fortitude and prudence I am a practicing Catholic and the Bible speaks so lovingly and highly of military and soldiers. I guess I say this because you truly do represent and your job doesn't include the discipline love and leadership for the country and the world that you serve. After retirement I see the value of your continued service to us, the Americans that you have loved and protected, without even ever knowing us or meeting us. Thank you for letting me share.

The SOF character never leaves you. That’s why recruit on character. Because it lives no matter the situation. 👊

We also trained with SAS spec ops from Britain to see how we were and learn more. Damn they're good
I had the same chance to learn from them. Very impressive. Especially for such a small force.
Regular GB get to train with SAS not exclusive to Delta alone?

We need more Green Berets Special Forces in the Philippines right now.
I’ll bring it up in some conversations.
What's kicking off there right now? 1st group and maybe 5th should be assigned there as part of their AoR
Outstanding !

Lowering physical standards to accommodate ANY individual in order for them to be part of Special Forces is a Failure.
Agreed. DOL.
