Pro's Guide to Special Forces Assessment & Selection | Gathering Intel & Mental Preparation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- What is the goal of an SF selection process? What exactly will be evaluated? Mike from Project Archangel sets course on the path of getting prepped for a special forces selection & assessment by obtaining the intel about what can you expect in the process.
You will encounter many challenges, but everything comes down to you being able to meet the standard. The typical SF assessment standard will be divided into three elements: teachability, durability, and suitability.

Forget selection. Everything this guy says goes for all of life, every challenge, goal, setback, dark time, hard time, illness, injury, failure, embarrassment, and all.
Don't FUCKING quit!
Selection is also a character test. We can all learn a lot from these guys. 🧐
@@ufprogear Oh yes, I just meant confining the advice to selection was too limiting. Forget just meant remove the qualifier, not abandon your ambitions :)
This is definitely Not „everything“ this guy says.
Thanks Jess, all those techniques are indeed applicable to life in general.
i am currently 17 and im trying to reach my dream goal to join the SOG
a lot of this applies to school and life aswell
Indeed it does. 👍🏼
Life is a special operation!
@@darionhester6932 exactly my man
Just don’t go round school in spec ops gear with a suppressed m4 😅😂mentally though yes your right ! Self care . British army tells you .. a dirty soldier is a dead soldier . If your not clean you cannot fight ! If Your not independent then you are a liability ! Got to keep moving , stay motivated , don’t get bogged down
Couldn't agree more.
I'm no operator. I work with kids. Some are difficult.
This has been helpful.
Thank you.
Michael, this was an awesome video!
Thank you guys! :)
One of my mantras is "Pain makes us humans." I like it, it reminds me that it's ok to feel pain, it's ok to feel vulnerable, it reminds me that I have to be strong.
In 85' they used to tell me "no pain,no gain".
Gave me goosebumps....."Don't f***Ing quit......so as long, as you don't f***Ing quit- you're still in it ".
This is great advice for selection. As an older man, I can tell you it is also great advice for your entire life. Life gets hard. Circumstances can discourage the hell out of you and it's easy to give up. Don't quit
This is the best video I have ever seen
A lot of this stuff interlocks and feeds back.
Example- good posture not only makes you feel more confident ("I believe I can do this"), it makes you *look* more confident to others ("He can do this"), who then *treat* you as self-confident ("You can do this"). *That makes you more confident in reality* ("I really can do this!"). The power of psychology is amazing.
Took me years to learn that. Now I stand tall all the time.
One of the things that always gets me to either finish a workout or if I’m ever having self pity or doubt I tell my self that these are the moments that separate the SEALs from the people who want to be them. Who are you, it all comes down to that moment.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....I take my Head down , my mouth shut and thumb up!!!!!!! Very impressive for every one in life!!!
I’m doing special forces because my grandpa was Rangers and delta force member and I will not give up this dream. This is what I needed to give me the extra push.
You got this, brother. 💪🏼
Check out "FNG academy" channel with Sean Buck Rogers. He's a former Green Beret, and has great videos about selection and all, his videos are pretty grounded and give you all the nitty gritty details.
TO pass remember this.. Dont quit and dont get into trouble. You will pass if thats what you want. The grass isnt green on the other side tho, its still a job.
Also check out Zack Hughes. He’s got a 6 part series video of his journey of becoming a green beret. From arriving to indoc to basic training to selection and all that
All the very best for your Adventurous life ahead in the Special Forces, Bud!
TONNS of Love and Respect from India! 👊
Be prepared for anything, and everything.
Think ahead. Got it.👍
Life is a special operation
A true statement and a wonderful UA-cam channel
Fine… I did not expect that!!!
Thanks, UF PRO.
Mike congratulations, the video you created really moved me, you took me back 33 years, when I was going through my own training.
Now at the age of 53 in reserve I remember the training and I miss it, then I saw all the training as a mountain that I had to climb.
I think you know that everything you analyze and explain has to do not only with the army but also the attitude we must have for our whole life, our work, our friends, our family.
Well done again, you teach a life lesson in a very short time.
p.s.
I still workout 3 days a week and shoot every weekend in the range.
At the end it is all in our mind, our age is what we feel we are.
Never give up.
Best wishes.
Hey man, thanks for the kind words. You are absolutely right, challenges are challenges whether during selection or during life in general. Every path leads there eventually, and everyones mileage varies, but I feel that the warriors path is a kickstart. Adversity builds character and many young men nowadays are missing out on that.
@@project-archangel Great truth for some young men.
Unfortunately, they perceive life as an electronic game, after the game over a new game starts without any effect on them.
We lived in another era for sure.
Life is much harder and will become even harder in the near future, at least in the area where I live, the only solution is preparation and education.
Keep showing the way of the fighter, even one to train is a profit.
Well done again.
Great video. 20 years to late for me so all off you who are able to use it show some gratitude with like button for video. Keep up good work UFPRO
That last sentence and music fade in gave me immense chills.
Reminds me on my „pre selection(Unteroffiziersvorausbildung/UVA) for the military instructor school(Heeresunteroffiziersschule1). I wasn’t in a special forces unit back then, only signal intelligence unit, but they „fucked“ us pretty hard in the pre selection. All what Mike said came to play and still I value lots of it for everyday life, not only for special forces selection 😉! I enjoyed watching it👍🏼
I love the "Don't Fucking Quit" at min 20:27, I am going to save this kind of content for the rest of my life so if anytime I need a little push I can watch it again
Great upload man. Respect from Papua New Guinea!
AWESOME! This is not only a positive attitude to join the special forces but also the attitude to face any life difficulty.
This guy is fucking amazing
"Embrace the suck. FUCK IT."
I love this.
Holy shit man 12:28 gave me goosebumps I think about my "why" everytime im training at the moment. It is so true that it gives you a second wind and helps you keep going.
Three men died after a 16-mile (26km) SAS selection exercise in the Brecon Beacons, Wales (UK) in July 2013. Everything Mike said is 100% spot on - but also keep in mind that selection demands respect, it's not a game.
Hab im Oktober meine Grundausbildung. Dank dir konnte ich mich sehr gut körperlich und Mental vorbereiten! Vielen dank für deine Arbeit
this is the most important part of selection once u master these techniques nothing can break you down
Great tips for selection, even better for life in general. A 22min video shows you some core fundamentals of becoming a better human thus making the world a better place.
Thank you, Im glad that you see it that way!
EAT everything you can when you can, never quit, team before self, mission first.
Danke Michael, aufweckende Worte und keine die kurzzeitig staunen lassen und in Vergessenheit geraten. Weisheiten für‘s Leben :)
Danke Jim, so war es gedacht :)
You saying pain is temporary quitting is forever touched home never heard that explained like that before.
"Selection starts long before it actually starts."
This is incredibly inspiring. As many have stated, the rules listed apply to life.
There was a lot of information in here that I hadn’t considered yet! Thank you! 3 weeks to go!
Glad to see your getting this series out quickly!! Cant wait to see the rest of the series.
Edit Having now watched the episode. Id agree with others that this is very applicable to all parts if life.
Thank you for this UF PRO, much needed right now. Big things ahead and every asset is good to take.
UF-PRO and ofcourse Mike, Thanks a lot for the insights,
I will take them into (my/this) life, but without the bullets.
To everyone else, I wish you the best of luck on your journey!
That you may become what you truly are, Peace and stay safe!
Thanks a lot Eric, all the best to you as well!
Major Respect for that dude!!
Life lesson learnt
After looking this episode a couple of times over and over again to learn and understand better and better - Always the same .Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....I take my Head down , my mouth shut and thumb up!!!!!!! Very impressive for every one, in life in any situation!
Thank you sir! Your a patriot and the truest of warriors!
best advices for future special forces operators, personally hearing all this gives me the extra push to get there for sure. Thank you very much for this video!!!
Good luck on your journey!
Me after two months:”Were is Luka, is he safe, is he alright?”
This, as the gentleman below me said applies to everything, it applies to life itself. Special forces training just puts you in that position more often as they need to know in advance if you'll be able to surmount the obstacles before you actually have to face them in real life.
Basically they are prepping you for life.
It's an awesome video! Best production, speech and edition!
Greetings from Argentina!
I sincerely wish I had heard these lessons as a young man.
I Just started watching these videos today. This is the best training and advice, of any kind, I've ever seen on UA-cam to date. Period. I'm astonished that these weren't teasers with a low low introductory price of $399 to "join the team". Job well done gentlemen. 👊🏼
Thank you. We loved doing it and hope it will help some of our future good guys in bad lands.
I'm literally crying 😢 💓
Amen!! All true the defining equation to any problem is YOU. Do want to achieve the goal or do want to quit?? Love the video thank you.
can't wait for second part!!! :D
Wow. I was expecting the same macho stuff most SOF guys say on the tube. It was surprising and refreshing to have such a heartfelt and sincere explanation.
Interesting and Awsome video sir 💂🇩🇪 tq for your service in the German Army Reserves sir!. I'm currently chasing my Ambition to join the 10th Paratrooper Brigade Malaysian Army Rapid Deployment Force 💂⚔️🇲🇾☂️ and after I have collected enough experience for 3 or 4 years, hopefully I can apply to join the 21st GGK Commando Malaysian Army Special Forces (SOF). 💂🇲🇾 🐅♠️. I'm interested into joining both Elite Forces of the Malaysian Army 💂🇲🇾.
An outstanding video! Thank you very much
Very informative video on training and life in general
Amazing video
Amazing,❤ please more like this.
Superb an very inspiring!👍 This is amasing for each day life abd not only special preparation. Running business in today life is almost spacial preparation. Again super values and good luck for you and UF PRO. Never Ever give up!
The Wisdom that was given here was definitely “More Valuable than Gold and Silver”
All walks of life should take heed and incline their Ears 👂 to it
Very good video and advices. Simples and realistics

This was so fucking epic.

Awesome Mike!
Thank you Chief ;)
I would rather live for one true cause than simply inherit the kindom of persia all the gold and jewels on earth cannot sway my heart form achieving its goal.
Amazing advice. Greetings from Spain.
Thanks so much in 3 months I have Special forces assesment!
Good luck for it. & remember Bragg it will be a great experience for you.
Did you pass
Excellent Michael.
Thank you James!
Love it. 👍
He was talking about selection? Because this helps alot in many aspects of our lives and not just selection.
On spot
Thanks a lot sir for your insight and knowledge
My brother told me to be a TACP. I didn't do it. Eventually though I would do the next best thing; become a Loadmaster!
Perfect
This got me pumped to continue to pursue my dream… thank you, I think I found my favorite video, die wille entscheidet :)
Melhor video ! SAED french army!!!
This was there best video on pros guide. Great channel👏🏻
im ready
🔥🔥🔥
5:54 Makes sense but when I planned 1 hour for stuff to go wrong it would go wrong for 2 all the time. When I planned for 2 it would for 8. When I planned 8 I would always be 10h early.
2 thumbs up + 18 fingers up🇵🇭
curently preparing for OCS, and this is fucking awesome, good advices for military and life in general, ROCK ON UF PRO !
Thanks, man. Good luck at the OCS, you got this! 💪🏼🔥
@@ufprogear Thanks :)
Nice
Queria participar! Excelente vídeo!
Exactly, tell the truth.
Can't wait for part 2!! Fuck it works for me...
Uf proooo 👏👏👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍
💪🏼🔥
@@ufprogear ✌✌✌✌
"Ask yourself, are you a little bitch or not." The manner in which this was said cracked me tf up. Followed by the credibility of " It works for me." haha.
Brilliant, loved every second. I want to join Special Operations in my country, but first will get my Engeneering degree and then apply. Is 30 year old too old?
Age limits are different for each unit, so you need to check that yourself. Good luck!
For a minute i thought you were this guy named "Mike Oxlong"
Mike , thank you that was amazing vid, Is it possible to get as a typed doc, from all that you said? (all the words were on screen so it must bee fairly easy?)
Hi Bryn, the words on screen were done by the post-production team, so I dont have those as a document. You will have to watch it again and take notes ;)
My mantra "light weight baby"
Rangers need to do only 6 pull-ups? What's that? I would expect something like 20 or so
Exceeding the standard is the standard...
Best Army in the World!!))
Good Video.
I dont like the Backgroundmusic that plays ALL the time.
You have to do all this training, our people bare natural commandos fighting NATO forces.
noice
Glad you like it. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
@@ufprogear I see I see you really helped me , right time , just started to get into shape the earlier the better
@@boiboi9096 toit ;)
Truth bomb ... don't fucking quit..
I will quit tomorrow
please make course how to flush a toilet like SF
3:25 wow six pullups in two minutes is difficult, easier to do six pullups in 30 seconds
