They are the ultimate weekend warriors. Just Imagine some of your college professors are a green beret (no wonder some of them are so buff)
lmao
No shit, one of the teachers in my HS was a green beret in the guard. I graduated a couple years ago but shit he might still be there.
More than a few of the Green Berets I served with are College Professors.
You realize how rare that is?
Simple that’s me 😊
When my recruiter told me the was a special forces for the gaurd I was like no hell no but here it is and man imma strive to get to selections
Any luck yet?
Used to train with these guys when I was Army Recon(Scouts) in the Illinois National Guard. Had a lot guys in my platoon who were Vietnam veterans and Rangers both tabed and scrolled , so they set up training missions with the SF guard unit which was located about four miles from our armory. Those were high speed times.
You referring to the 178th Scouts? Up in Jones Armory, when we would train with 20th every once in a while?
@@damienknight75 Yes!! I was with the 1/178th Infantry Scout Platoon from 1983 to 1997 then went to the Army Reserves in Waukegan for 8. Medically retired in '06
Really, who was squad leader?
@@damienknight75 SFC Eddie Farrell was the Platoon Sergeant and SSG Shemei Levi was my squad leader and I was Asst.Sqaud Leader.
Well Damn, I know you! I was there. Nuey was my Squad leader you were with Sniper squad along with Quicho
Two combat tour infantry Marine here. Man, I think that is freaking outstanding. Place SOF everywhere it can exist in any capacity. All it can do is help.
Very proud of our Army national guard. My cousin was in the national guard. My hubby is active in the Army. Our military has my support 100%!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🏻
Hooah! Way back in time, I was in the USAR 2BN/11th SFG(A)... from 1990 to 1995. Loved every minute of it.
Yeh definitely, what’s your name let me guess captain price
@@adzz4707 youre such a tough dude.
I was 3/12th SFG(A) 86-91, after 8 yrs active.
I didn’t know they have special forces in the guard. That’s awesome.
Yup, 19th and 20th group. Most of them are some type of law enforcement in their full time jobs.
How that ? National guard is part time, isn’t it ?
@@karolyholczhauser1528 Ya, they just train 1 weekend out of each month, and 2 weeks in the summer.
@@karolyholczhauser1528 Guard groups are in rotation for active duty deployments too. Individuals can also volunteer for active deployments if theres a need for that specific mos.
The perfect group to drive stealth snowplows and fill invisible sandbags.
I trained with 7th SF in 1985 on ft huachuca for several months...12 of us with 12 of them for intensive training.. The best short course for combat survival a soldier could recieve. There were different SF A team's and one of them waa a guard or reservist unit which I cant recall but they were extremely professional and respectable warriors.
We all ended up in Hondo and I even encountered one of the SF boys at palmerola Air Force Base in the jungle.
Man..what a life that was. I would blow a dog to do it all over again. Lol
We were
Every military branch should have special operations regiments of different kinds in Reserve components.
The Army National Guard, Air National Guard and Navy Reserves all have Special Operations Units.
There are Reserve SEALS and SWCC. Reserve SWCC Unit was in New Orleans but Its now in Mississippi. My best friend was in 20th Special Forces with me but he was also in that SWCC Unit
@@joshualittle877 did he have to go active before he was put in the reserve unit? Or did he sign a contract specially for reserves?
This may be naive or ignorant but wouldn't the reserve special operators not be as sharp or battle ready than the guys who are on the socom clock 25/8?
@@Idkgoogleitbro Most of these guys are former active duty. They were Special Forces in the regular Army. Their enlistment ended, and then they joined the Guard.
One weekend a month, two weeks a year doesn't really apply to infantry or other combat arms units either. That's old school guard, not new school.
Depends on your state how much you’ll serve
I wished that was the case. It was back before 9/11. When I got back in in 2004, I was close to doing 2 weeks a month. Then, a month or more in the summer.
No shit there was a war going on
100% Correct that weekend warrior shit is bogus AF. 12 years in the Guard 7.5 years active duty time.
Tricked me, that’s for sure hooah?
💌 Thank you for your service. Never forget. ❤️❤️❤️
Army reserve / national guard is a great place to go after active duty to get what you missed after ETS , prior service are highly desirable .
Sure it is. I was a 13B and was doing 92Y at my army reserve unit because they had no need for my MOS. The amount of laziness and liars. I transferred out to IRR within a year of being in the reserve. I give props to my past and present active duty members.
@@Loveduhmusic wow that sucks. I was 94 b in active duty at ft.bragg , and joined the army reserve in my hometown , 8" self propelled howitzer battery and became assistant gunner 13 bravo , we had an unbelievable amount of time in the field firing artillery an eating c -rations , had some of best times of my life. Sorry it didn't work out for you.
Would this provide any benefits as well?
@@Baconcatboy not sure about that .
Im 34. I have an awesome established career but still want to serve. Guard SF is what I want to do. Im training to do one of 20th Group's SFREs at some point this year. Based on my results, I'll make a decision from there to pursue the green beret. As cheesy as it sounds, this video is motivating for me. Thanks for the post guys!
Same here but I’m 39. Just waiting on my age waiver to clear so I can enlist!
Right on dude!@@sfdclay
Is 34 hard cutoff. I turn 34 this year. Doing the same brother
excellent video thanks
This is dope!!!! Wow!
God bless
Most of these guys are former active duty. They were Special Forces in the regular Army. Their enlistment ended, and then they joined the Guard.
"regular army"
A friend of mine enlisted 18x and just did the pipeline - there are a lot of prior service but there is a lot of manimals who just beast that shit out
Says who?
It is possible to go straight to National Guard SF without ever being in the active Army first. Fact. Well it was possible in 2009 anyway.
@@justaguy4real yeah with a rep63 contract which is the Guard version of 18X. You still go through BCT then OSUT then Airborne then a prep pre-selection then selection.
The perfect group to drive stealth snowplows and fill invisible sandbags.
lol .lol. I almost just said it was bullshit , and they didn't exist... but apparently they do... .They are doing the same operations as green beret. Which makes no sense considering they are National guard, but even the national guard deploys overseas, so I guess it would make sense they had special operators
Now you have the baddest men on earth handing out water bottles! They will also make sure you get enough blankets when hurricanes hit 😂
National Guard units actually deploy more overall than big army. Now you know.
@@windmillman Isn't that who constructs the bases, and F.O.B's / green zones ultimately? I thought Army Logisitics was too fancy to do that kind of shit.
@@windmillman
Facts!
My uncle went from the 5th group in Vietnam, to the California Guard, Special Forces. He would later lose use of his legs in parachute malfunction, on a training mission, from that to 3 years recovery in traction and full body cast, he finally made it to a wheelchair, where he'd go on to coach handy cap kids in wheelchair sports, then on to paralympic training, where he'd win multiple silver and bronze between Spain and Korea, finally winning that elusive Gold Medal at the 96 games in Atlanta. Where can I find Hanks and Spielberg.
Awesome 🤩
God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
I was in the Reserves and I got to meet a NG SF unit doing annual training at Fort Pickett in 2010. That was my first time finding out about them. They were all really cool and laid back and we got to watch them do a jump on the old airfield.
Your reserves lol explains it all....
@@cameronkelly3387 Wtf does that even mean
I wish I was 17 again I got discharged at 26 now 39 I am too old be safe.
DE OPPRESSO LIBER
The encircling scroll which arches at the base bears the Special Forces motto, "DE OPPRESSO LIBER" which is translated from Latin as "To Free the Oppressed."
I'm gonna talk with a recruiter in one hour about joining the guard. I have no prior service. My father kicked ass as a Green Beret, Army, Native American (Navajo). Vietnam late 60's. Radio Op. My dad is my Hero, my motivation. Always moving forward and I'm sure he still kicking ass as a spirit. It's Time for a change, I need to stop fucking around.
Got the paper work. Now I'm waiting on the background check.
Good luck, keep that vision of who you want to be and grab it . Never joined the military (21) but I always find myself in these stages where I do all the research and try to find what might. Fit my life yet allow me to serve.
Thanks Giancarlo, keep up with your research. And study for the ASVAB. Check out ASVAB tips on UA-cam. It helped me.
Headed to MEPS next week.
June 8-9, 2020!
Kinda nervous.
Time for a new chapter in my life. Gotta twist off from the oilfields.
Actually headed to MEPS next week (6/23/2020).
Needed to complete a family care plan for my offsprings.
I was with the 29th Infantry(Light)Infantry,Ft.Belvoir,Virginia.Light infantry.Rangers are the Ultimate light infantry.People.Dont take the United States Army National Guard lightly,for we received and went through the SAME TRAINING as everyone else...-ARMY!!!!!----!!!!!
19th SOF group! Badass guys right there!!
My God I Have Been Waiting Four You
Active duty people get out and go Guard/Reserve all the time, it doesn't surprise me that these career fields exist in the Guard, it just makes sense.
Hoo Rah gentlemen! You guys take the Engineers call of "Essayons!" to a whole new level. Rock on, drive on!

Brandon Terrell yeah I’m in meps right now
@U.S. Outdoors it would be 19 or 20. 18 is Active Army
I didn't know their could be a special force for the national guard.
@raul castillo but no 75th or soar
@raul castillo rangers are not SF and soar is army and i have no idea what you just said.
@raul castillo are you from the U.S.? or maybe you just play a lot of games and watch movies?
@@thegreatdogzilla5855 nope 75th Ranger Regiment is Active component Psyops, Civil Affairs and Special Forces are the only ones that are applicable to National Guard and Active components of the Army.
@raul castillo Civil Affairs and Special Forces are available for National Guard. Ranger Regiment is Active component only.
Rhode Island is one of the few states that has their own SF group and airborne Ranger battalion. Never new until a few years ago
I don't believe any Rangers are guard, guy
@@cornchips2201 neg. if one wants to try and join our community within the 75th RR, one will have to come on AD or go USAR first. The politics / red tape from JFHQs and NGB...75th RR has no time to deal with.
ABN Company. Only two BNs in the NG are TXARNG 1/143rd (falls under 173rd ABN BDE) and that so called one that stood up in Nebraska which is garbage.

Brave, fit motivation mission all machines salute you all
I know a couple guys at the Texas unit they’re a badass group of dudes thinking about trying out with them.
You won’t do it... no balls.
Most guard units in texas are pretty high speed
Красавчики! ❤️🇺🇸
Didn’t know guard had special forces this is dope
Happy veterans day 🇺🇸💪
Veterans Day? In January???
@@tkso.philly3879 Every day is Veterans Day on youtube!
VA anytime!
Lot of Regular duty SF switch over... especially 20th. They had missions in Africa and Afghan... Tim Kennedy went from 5th to 20th then back to 7th... interesting
Even gaurd infantry isn’t a weekend, it’s more like a week/month and then 3-4 weeks for annual training.
Never knew either. After my active duty and 3 years in the reserves I had a chance to join my state's NG but didn't
This is what I want to get into. Goalsss!
so....is it a full time job or a part-time job until you're deployed? How does the pay work? Do they have real jobs with incredibly flexible employers? Is it mostly guys who just came off active duty? Anyone who knows the answers, please speak up.
I’m in the national guard right now, I’m trying to switch over to sf 😬
Good luck to you brother
@@kainenv2671 Thank you 🙏🏽
@@DemiDrez how’s it going
Did you ??
im happy with being a POG kudos to these guys. their cool af
Dose anyone know about the national guard counterdrug task force ground reconnaissance team
yeah!!!!
Happy 4th of July!
Does anyone know what opportunities there are for Physician Assistant officers in the NG special forces? Some info would be greatly appreciated!
Reach out to your local Army recruiter and I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you.
Call the 20th group recruiter, and they'll tell you. But up front let me warn you, there aren't many PA billets, and none at the ODA level. You may well find it more fulfilling to enlist as an 18D.
They have special forces in the National Guards?
Yes, because they are still set up for Active Deployments if the Army needs them. That's what i wanna do but first NG
It's exhausting work
Do you have to live somewhere specific to join 19th or 20th SF groups or can you live any state then travel for training?
I believe as long as you can make the training you can. When I looked into it my state only had one and I wanted the other which was a state over. Pretty much said as long as you will travel and make it to the required monthly training, then yes. Go to the website and go speak with a recruiter.
Hard to hear the men talk over the obnoxious background music
Are they AGR to keep up with the training? Or do quarterly orders?
So what's the difference in the Army Green Berets and the national guard Green Berets
Something i have always wanted to do but i don’t think I’m good enough for it. Just waiting to reclass and hopefully can follow this path
huh? why reclass? You can go to selection without reclassing.
@@Dero_milsurp it's called i want to reclass to something else before going to selection so if i fail i can just go back to my new mos i selected. I don't understand the confusion my guy ?
@@ryanfeeheley8796 Sounds like an excuse. regardless youll go back to where you were. Waiting to reclass has no benefit. Just go.
@@Dero_milsurp how is that an excuse? That i want to reclass then leave ? Lol ?
@@ryanfeeheley8796 reclassing, going to a new unit as a new guy with no experience in the mos, and then being like “I’m going to selection” is a perfect way to screw yourself at a new unit.
Yeah as you can see in any division you will see a special Forces
Hey you need to get your wings first. Do that then if you think you can meet the challenge of getting the SF tab. It's not easy. Before you go to the Q course you will be tested on the prep course. They not send no duds to Q course. You will need to train train and more training. When you thing you are ready train some more. Get your wings first before you even thinking about the SF tab. Airborne triple nickel 555
Man, the amount of flexibility the guard has is what makes it the branch I want to join the most. To anyone who knows, is the National guard SF worth it?
Yes
Straight to Special Forces = National Guard REP63 / Army 18X
Could u go from guard sf to active duty sf
The 19th and 20th SF Army NG is a major component of the U.S. Army SF Command. And yes, you can transfer to Active Army already being Special Forces. Being Special Forces in the Army Guard, is more demanding. You will be deployed at a moment's notice. Because the 19th and 20th SF Army NG spend a lot of time doing Active full time missions all over world.
Imma tell you from experience just go infantry first. Get airborne and air assault certified if you go active and then go see if you can be in SF. I never tested my luck and stayed in the 2nd
I’m sure it’s possible
Yes you can but highly recommend you finish your Guard Committment first they hate guys who come, get qualified and cut sling load. I knew a guy( a pretty famous guy in the community) who was at 19th Group and was ready to go to SFAS and could not get them to send him. He went to my Battallion at 20th Group and got qualified then immediately left and went back to 19th. Yeh he got qualified but that I'm sure engendered alot of trust issues and put a ? on him at both units. Thats just going from one Guard unit to another jumping to the active side is far more common and they will give you a mountain of shit if you dont at least fulfill your commitment.
@@jamesharden9565 Then test your damn luck you are not getting younger honey child. Get drunk enough to apply then its too late to turn back...that's the best way to do it lol
I was a Combat Medic who signed up for NGSF in Louisville Kentucky. I also signed up for airborne and air assault schools and volunteered for Desert Storm but I never heard back from them and I found out why about 2 years later. Our goddamn company clerk was a jealous piece of shit who would throw paperwork away. There’s no telling how many Soldiers he fucked over because of his bullshit. I ended up joining other units and getting 3 more MOS’s which were Combat Engineer, Cavalry Scout and Heavy Wheeled Vehicle Driver and I also got 2 Iraq tours. It pisses me off to know I could’ve been in Special Forces had it not been for a jealous underachiever. If I ever see him I’m probably gonna slap the taste out of his mouth.
My father had this issue with a boatswain paper-pusher in the Coast Guard once. My old man got him court martialed.
I'm not a patriot, but i want serve in national guard special forces
COOL😎
there used to be a 11th and 12th Groups ( Army Reserve) but do to robert macnamara's stupid ideas on how to manage things they were dissolved and rolled into the National Guard.
Here's my question. Do you have to have military experience to join NGSF?
You need to join the national guard
@@TristenTheArgonian Ok thanks
You have the possibility to get an Option 40 in your contract and go train through Airborne/RASP.
@@swann3482 no you're correct, but "idiot"?
Who are you again?
No experience needed! We have 18x enlistment options in the 19th group! (I work for Special Operations Recruiting Detachment)
A lot of them are going to schools and deployments and all that stuff so many of them are basically full time anyway.
is there any limitation old age joint SF National Guard?
Pretty sure its 35 last time I saw
That would be the army national guard 18xray program
How long is that training?
Ok! I'm in! I'm on my way! I will see some of you soon.
19th Group?

President is awesome action training day !best jobs special operations system special forces combat operations training operations system fantastic system awesome 👍👍👍
This is what I want to be
5:03 What kind of rounds are those?

Are they also called weekend warrior?
These are real weekend warriors 😂
We all we always be weekend warriors for being in the national guard regardless
Soldiers.

Seen me in Honduras?
So who are these guys planning on doing hard take downs on?
on your mom's basement
This would full time guard aka never home
How do you try for it when you’re already in the military once you reach E-4?
are you in the guard?
Kappa Pi Theta Fraternity yes my MOS is 11B I want to try selection the moment I reach E-4
I’m going reply from this account sense it’s my personal one. Ifs actually super easy to do. Not all states have special forces though. What state do you live and I’ll tell you if it’s even possible
Seemenow Yup Arizona I know we don’t have SF here I don’t mind going to do my drills somewhere else
SF in the guard at least. Apply for RASP/Airborne. Gets you the chance to become a Ranger. Be beyond excellent when it comes to PT. You should already be at a 300+ for the APFT if you want the best chance to succeed everything else is discipline and leadership.
♡
So if I become a green beret I get deployed over seas on TSM? or it’s it really just a weekend thing?
Fucking awesome. I'm going 11X hoping to get Bravo. March/May
11x will ensure you get Infantry, not SF. You need 18X bro.
18x-ray is sf 11x-ray will either land you with regular infantry or mortar infantry
You will get B....
GOD BLESS USA FOREVER !!!! SHALOM. IN JESUS.
Heart strieghnth mind
What’s the age cutoff for NG SF?
its waiverable I think
35 (possible waiver only for active duty)
I always keep these donut belly boys in front of me when I was out on recon.
I don't know if I should make fun of them or be scared of them
They wouldn’t give a shit either way, you’re a nobody on UA-cam
You're right

The one weekend a month/2 weeks a year is a joke for any MOS in Army NG... I spent 1/4 of every year in uniform as 74D...
Dude you right im a 19K and ive been on orders for a shit ton ever since i got to my unit 3 months ago
People do not realize that the Reserve/National Guard also have full time positions and also so very true is that dependent on MOS and rank, they will spend time beyond the weekend or two week drill. I’m retired Army but I had a break in full time service and spent a year in the reserves. I gained an entire whole new level of respect of knowledge of what it takes to be a “weekend” warrior. I’m so proud of these units and their dedication!
@@katzmeow1180 yup exactly. Im a Hawaii Army guardsmen 25U thats been on ADOS orders the past 3 years for our CBRN Enhanced Response Force Package(CERF-P) unit. So technically even tho I'm guard, I've been on active orders these last 3 years while being able to live in my home state.
ahd the sad thing is that they are more proficient at their jobs, than you ever will be at yours.
Yep once I hit Battalion Staff it was like 90 days a month 800 weeks a year

Never hears of this, Reserves yes, not NG. But this is great. Just remember to protect our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Free the Depressed. Land, Air or Sea.
Reserves haven't had combat arms in years.
Lol NG special forces are Green Berets reserves dumbass remember there are 2 Green Berets reserves
I think you mean oppressed not depressed lol
@@sangrangbty540 the only dumbass here is you, who doesn't seem to understand that the National Guard and the US Army Reserve are two different components; only the National Guard has SF, not the Reserve (which, as I mentioned, no longer has any combat arms whatsoever). Thanks for playing scrub, now shut the fuck up and listen to your betters, dumbass.
@@SWATJester
Some people's kids. You can't fix stupid. It's funny how people think the NG and AR are one in the same. The AR lost comat arms back in 1994-95. The only combat arms I believe still in the AR is the 205th Infantry. However, they were disbanded in 2015.
