- Are you trying to decide between AFSPECWAR and Army Special Forces? Don't worry, fam, we got you. Sean "Buck" Rogers, former Green Beret, LEO, and head of the FNG Academy joins us in the Team Room this week to talk about that exact thing!!!
We know there are a lot of decisions- which branch, how to train, which job- it can be confusing. That very reason is why we reach out to our friends and ask the hard questions, to make sure you have the most relevant, most accurate, and freshest information in the game.
Sean shares our passion for doing something bigger than himself for the younger generation, so it was only a matter of time before our paths crossed. Well, they did, and this one is absolutely packed full of information, motivation, and overall great wisdom.
We can't say "thank you" enough to Sean for coming on, sharing his considerable knowledge and experience, and helping get you all set up for success, no matter what career field you choose.
You can (and should) follow Sean on his UA-cam channel, FNG Academy ( / @fngacademy ), on his IG @seanbuckrogers, and be sure to check out his new book, "Rising Above".

As someone who was inspired by a Green Beret to join the military this is the perfect storm of a podcast! Love FNG academy and everything Sean “Buck” Rogers is doing and am of course a regular here on OnesReady. Thank you guys! This was awesome and ridiculously helpful to guys who’s goals are to reach to be better as a person and as well as part of these communities (AFSPECWAR/SpecOps)
SF/SO Community is a FAMILY! And IF You MADE The CUT, And HAUL Your OWN Butt. YOU'RE GONNA GET LOVE!
Waiting with Open Arms!
I know it is kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream new tv shows online?
@Gage Preston try FlixZone. You can find it on google =)
@Rayden Curtis definitely, I have been using flixzone for years myself :D
@Rayden Curtis thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it !
Buck’s closing thoughts were more valuable than my entire college education
My old PSG was a CCT before he went guard infantry. I was his driver for one AT and I picked his brain about what they do, for hours. Dude was awesome and answered every dumb question I had for like 6 hours. They sound so cool
LET'S GOOOOOOOO, FNG ACADEMY IN THE HOUSSEEEEE. Great episode, gentlemen. Oh, and FIRST.
My. Man.
I hear the same from all special operations guys about if they could do it all again they would do CCT, he says they get the best of everything, they get all schools, and just treated better.
Vietnam Vet (USARV ‘70-‘71) here enjoying what you guys are doing. Patriotism is alive and well! Thank you for your service.
no it isn't.
Thank you for your service
@@akompsupporti know what you mean, but I think the loudest voice isn’t always the majority, and even if it is in this case, I believe people like this, doing what they do, knowingly, for everyone, including all the hypocritical vegans and Los Angeles cyclists, feminists and buzzfeed-type people, shows that the spirit of what the United States try to be is still out there.
“It’s what you choose to do when you don’t have to, that makes you are when you can’t help it”.
Can’t believe he went from cook to slayer. That’s awesome man. Great job.
Ya
Just like steven segal on that train in alaska
@@danbruhunder seige 1 and 2
Easy enough but yeah, I know what you mean.
About 50 more special operation interviews/conversations until I’m convinced and join up haha. Quality podcast episode.
Im already convinced XD
All the things Buck said really affirmed for me that all I've lived and learned really was what was supposed to happen...Such a powerful episode this is...I look back at how I've changed to be who I am today & the choices I made who has brought me to today are what was supposed to be...it was all worthwhile & valuable ...Thank You so much for this video...thank you
13:10 Mans saw two people come out the chopper riddled with bullet holes and really said, "yeah, that looks like fun."
Thank you all for showcasing a man that humanizes the mythical aspects of special operations. It gives hope to the rest of us mortals looking to pursue this career path.
Awesome to see the collaboration with FNG Academy love his videos. And thank you for all the information you guys give out can’t wait to enlist to be a Combat Controller
That episode was lit guys! Love both of your channels. You guys are an inspiration. Love from Aus 👌🏻
Literally love you guys for the impact you make on the community around you, thanks for your service in the military and beyond
ones ready is such a fantastic channel. I LOVE the content and its versatility. God Bless
Damn what an awesome video. You got a new subscriber. Thank you all for your services to our amazing country.
Love this guy... And his channel... And y'alls channel... Awesome stuff!!!! Awesome ppl!!!!!
I wish the best of blessings for these humans. It’s beautiful seeing people like this, that mindset, those words. God bless them all.
For as incredibly fascinating as Buck Rogers is, he's also incredibly funny. Very cool to hear his experience and with his very humble attitude.
This was great! Any chance you guys could do an episode on special warfare/support opportunities for nurses/doctors? I loved the SOST episode, would love some more on the officer medical side.
Really cool to see you guys expanding out to other service lines on the podcast, loved it.
Such an honest man. People like him are who i value serving with.
Thank you for having him on and letting us know about his book
Do Hard Things! Great advise! Another great episode, on the insight of special operations and forces.
Buck is the Best and he does it with humility , a laugh and a smile on his face
This one was so much fun! Great to gear from you Buck! XD
Awesome content. My man Buck is finally getting hooked up !
Buck is such a great dude, seriously recommend his book, genuinely powerful
Amazingly beneficial talk that has benefits that could be applied to most aspects of life.
subscribed and watched like three interviews solely because you had buck on the channel. ⚡️
That is a great story about the 320. That is why we always teach to never have your shotgun or tertiary weapons loaded if you do not have immediate use for it. If you have it loaded, you must have complete control of the weapons while conducting any type of movements or maneuvers unless you clear that system.
Buck good to see you again, this is Dave from 5th group in Vietnam. Dumbest thing I did in Vietnam was, I was walking point and didn’t see a trip wire and if it wasn’t the man covering me grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me back or I would have taken out my whole team.
How to be a ex veteran 101:
Step 1. Make a YT channel.
Step 2. Sell T-shirts and coffee.
Evan Hafer from BRCC claimed 47 deployments 😭 I guess Step 3. is "Partially lie about service", not saying that all veterans lie but in this age of social media, it seems that many do
@@Justin_GFM when did he say he that?
@@Justin_GFM he definitely misspoke if that’s what he said, I promise he isn’t stupid enough to purposely lie about FORTY SEVEN deployments.
@@seanelovesjiujitsu Check the Reddit link I posted in response to the guy above you, he says he had 3 deployments per year for 15 years
Hes counting CIA contractor gigs too. Also spec ops guys do multiple deployments per year. If he was guard hoping on ODAs in between contractor jobs he could easily reach 47
Enjoyed this one very much!
Much appreciated Brother
I had no clue 🕵️♂️ about Special Force’s even when I was in the Military.
Semper Fi
Outstanding guest. Great interview.
In navy boot camp we had a hair cut lady called dragon lady and she is the most brutal and fast hair cut lady I’ve seen. She will cut a mole off your head if it means saving a quarter second! The ‘whatcha Havin’ lady reminds me of that. Thanks again FNG and great interview to the three of you
Best episode yet.
Nice. Been a fan of the FNG academy for 1y now
Buck is an impressive person. So humble.
Dude, you guys are awesome. Spent a lot of time around battlefield guys in basic and tech school, and they were all dicks. I got the impression AF ST just attracted asshole jocks. You guys are a lot more open and accessible and down to earth. You do the AF (and AF SOF) a huge service shedding light on careers where there is very little information. Wishing you all the best.
We really appreciate that. Sorry you had that experience- those types aren’t welcome in our team room.
I went through more than 10 years ago now. I was going EOD, but we were thrown in with the rest of the BA guys. I remember too some of them were assholes, but once I left the EOD program, my station was involved with AFSOC so I got to keep in touch with a lot of guys. All the assholes failed. It was mainly the nicer reserved guys that made it all the way through. Teamwork makes the dreamwork.
Best episode so far
Heck yeah man! Buck is a really cool guy and Ones Ready is the best hahah
I love this guy.
Humanise sf, I like that.
Awesome interview 👍👍👍
Great video!
Awesome podcast! Sean thanks for the inspiration!
special operations, from a non-SOF perspective, includes a lot ... for example, the Marines used to have MEU SOC, which are Marine Expeditionary Units Special Operations Capable (they are now called Maritime Special Purpose Forces, or MSPF... that means they train to do regular infantry things like raids, assaults, etc but they train for SOC for things like NEOs (noncombatant evacuation operations), amphibious raids, security operations, humanitarian assistance, and TRAP (tactical recovery of aircraft/personnel).
Thank you! All of you!! With the highest respect!!! 😎❤
The best advice for new candidates is that "Chahavin" branch is one you must embrace
This video is GOATed
Training the future ! That's your legacy
ONES READY and FNG, "BUCK". YOU 2 ARE KILLING the PIPELINE PREP!
Second Gen Military, my Son's 3rd. In the Pipeline to go Para-Rescue. HELLA Stoked To have a "PJ" in the FAM! My
Father was Multi Tour Nam Vet, LRRP(Army). Was out, Went Back in to Naval Special Warfare. Forced to Retire at 60.
I Followed the Squishy Steps, and Went Frog. 18 Delta/SARC. HAD Problems WITH Fighting Myself, BUT Was An EAGLE SCOUT!
Groomed By my "VADER" for the LIFE. I KNEW My Son Was Going Air Force(He's On the ONE'S READY and FNG, TIP!), Knowing WHAT I know, THAT IS THE ROUTE FOR LONGEVITY AND CAREER SECURITY! 40 years old Now. AND I'M STILL LEARNING! YOU GUYS KEEP DOING YOU! BUCK, BROTHER, LOVE THE CHANNEL. FEEL THE, "KNOW WHEN YOU'RE BOUT TO SNAP, RECOG!", THAT'S The Existential TRUTH! AWESOME to See the 2 TOP TIERED "TEACHERS" Online, Sharing the Scuttlebutt ON ONE GREAT SHOW! RUCK LIFE! (I THOUGHT Moleskin as You said it!)... AND YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT FLORIDA! LOL RESPECT from TAMPA FLORIDA. Mac Dill AFB, SOCCENT. NSWC/JSOC!
BTW... MY FATHER NEVER Gave Me an 'ATTABOY! IT Always MESSED With MY HEAD. BUT Now I Understand the Mentality To A Certain Degree.. MY DAD WAS the 'Cha Havin Woman! TOTALLY FEEL That. SELF Is EVERYTHING! Father Figures ARE AWESOME, IF They're a GOOD Fit for the Position. IF NOT They can Cause Some damage to the WEAKER Hearted/Minded.. I realize IT WAS ALL TO MAKE ME BELIEVE IN SELF, Without Outside Stimuli! DIDN'T Duplicate the "Experiment" with MY SON.. And I THINK I got it Right.. BUT Then AGAIN..
I THINK MY DAD DID TOO.. In His OWN EFFED UP WAY!
BRAVO, FRENCH AND MAP! THE BUCK ROGERS WAY! LOL!
"BUCK STUCK AND IT SUCKED!" AHHHH You're ON FIRE BRO!
You Make Me Laff a Lot, BUT You had me CRACKIN Up!
GREAT EPISODE, GENTLEMEN!
If I could go back to when I was 24 years old; I would focus on leaving the Army and pursuing a career in AFSOC or SERE
How come? Looking at both right now.
@@ShortFormProductions The Army has many great opportunities. But the lessened bureaucracy of the Air Force (they're smaller) is a better fit for me. SERE would be the perfect job for me because I'm not hard enough to become a Green Beret. TACP and EOD (which is available on both branches) also look appealing to me. If I trained myself to be a stronger swimmer, SR or CCT might be tempting to join.
@@underratedcritic1983 TACP In Army? how so? I highly doubt that
Sean is such a nice guy...
Buck is getting around!!!
My father was a Green Beret and active duty for 33 years. There are ALL types that do this. And there are some good and some bad.
The 1 DOWN Vote's The "Cha HAVIN" Lady!
SHE REMEMBERED THAT EFFIN NEW GUY!
I needed to hear the broken person speech
Buck is the man
Master Sgt: “cool story “buck”, and don’t stand at parade rest when you talk to me” 😂
Nobody: Dude has half a dozen GSWs spurting blood....Buck: Hey....hey....can I take his place? I wanna.
You guys forgot to link his channel in the description, that's a penalty of 10 "8 count body builders"
Roger that, moving now.
Hey can anyone tell me what a good brand weight belt for the pool would be? Preferably something semi cheap?
The lebron James layup had me weak 😂😂
Oh shit first buck rogers and zack hughes now its buck with ones ready??
What SF units get tattoos and what are the tattoos and where are they on your body? Are they mandatory?

Neat
Nice
Having heart and physically able to are completely different things.
What do you think about TACP
“No Soup for Youuu!”
Once Ready…
graduated q course June of 83
Don't worry. She is still there
HAhahahahahah nice!. CHA HAVIN
How does SF feel about support personel being able to wear the green beret because its a part of the units uniform? When I was stationed in Germany we had a guy that was a medic that worked in the hospital but he had came from Ft Bragg as support from a SF group and he wore the green beret and unit patch from his prior unit for like 6 months months after he got to Germany and he kept telling everyone he was SF even though he didn't even have jump wings, just goes to show you stolen valor can happen while active duty.
They aren’t allowed to wear the Green Beret anymore. Support personnel either wear maroon berets or black berets.
@@alphalimacharlie3489 Ok, good.
It’s almost good he got hurt in rasp. He would have been a ranger cook. Idk what they get to do but be a ranger still. I mean awesome.
We miss Brian on the podcasts!
1:03:00 giving me hope lol
Hey fellas Respects in the utmost. Questioning whether Buck is a sf bs or just not from planet earth?
I've been in the Army now 19 years...I would have never chosen cook. The recruiter seriously lied to this dude. He's lucky he got a better MOS. This is why I hate recruiters. My MOSs are 91W/68W, 35L, 25B and a condensed version of 31D. I'm a Spanish linguist as well. Cook just blows my mind. French is not an easy language either.
The dude with the blue shirt look like a crazy navy seal 😂
Wait...what?? -Trent
@@OnesReady yeaa 😂
@@OnesReady them seals crazy 😂
@@dukeadams2288 pretty sure hes an Sr
doesn't USC define SF as UW executive?
Do you have to be smart to be a Green Beret? Meaning a high ASVAB test score.
The fart story is awesome
To be fair, the UK dedicates the “Special Forces” title to their tier 1 elements. It’s different for each country it seems.
I think when they started they kinda were the “tier 1” just since then other units have come out. Also they were “special” because they were doing things that are non conventional.
Thats the difference with the seal teams there is no I in team and you have no choice but to work together egos at buds doesn't exist and the better the seal teams the less egos will be there teamwork is everything

Hello
Buck admits his mistakes, one time buck was gonna shoot bin laden, joking but tim Kennedy please take note.
Are you not allowed to pee in the pools?
Someone who’s seen combat and the worst of the worst is still able to jokingly refer to a gernade toss as a LeBron finger roll..like his boy was skipping through the lane for an and 1..if that’s not somewhat encouraging that these guys can still crack jokes like that idk what is 😂
Speaking of women in these roles, I feel that a woman should be vital on Special Forces teams because there are places where the native women do not interact with men and a lot of vital intel could be lost. A woman on an SF team would actually be more of a force multiplier than a detriment.
Maybe... Then again, if the women don't interact with the men, they probably don't get to know anything at all...
There were female engagement teams who's main job was interacting with native women.
Nothing stopping them from joining except not putting the effort in. I've seen some hard bastard women out there who should join but don't. Seen other potential women who could but either don't know how to prep their bodies or just can't be bothered to train for it then bitch and moan and the standards drop for them. I would like to see women in these roles.
@@VileGlory there still is, called the Civil Support Team apart of ASOC
Nobody wants them there. Zero active male operators want a female on their team.
Cross fit, lol
Hey Buck. Why don’t you tell the good listeners what “FNG” really stands for? 😂
“Fairly New gentleman”… right? 😂- A
Its ok Buck.... you should of never been allowed to be a police officer. To much aggression, we need psychologists as cops only 4 year degree lots of police have to have some college as it is. You don't put a direct action/ fn door kickers in a job where it takes desculation.
This is sarcasm? I think it’s sarcasm -A
@@OnesReady All military is good to go.... Im glad that shawn found his true calling helping others. I myself found peace this way .... I try and help people with PTSD get out jail and get them the help they need as well as suicide prevention and some cases of addiction.The best way to heal is help other's heal. The police need to go in a different direction to keep being useful ...
😬 ✌🏽
Buck stuck and it sucked lmao 😂
Bless your heart all politically correct and shit.
