So what?? Go get a job and then train in the mornings, evenings and on weekends for two years solid. That would prove commitment, most importantly to yourself. If you're willing to do that and progress every quarter and I would say you've earned the right to apply for SOF. And you will be in a much better position going in at 20 years old, having a bit more maturity and perspective on life. Now think about this, 20 years ago when I wanted to go we didn't have no Lieutenant Colonel making a bunch of videos on UA-cam and giving tons of advice on how to get prepared, you spoiled little brat. We literally had one piece of information, and when I say this I'm not exaggerating and I'm not joking. We knew nothing about Delta Force, we heard of Green Berets and many thought they were a complete myth, and if you wanted to be Navy SEAL you had to be crazy enough to rape your mother. There was no mention of Air Force CCT or PJs and the Marine Corps recruiters didn't talk about Recon, Force Recon or Raiders, nobody even knew they existed. Nowadays every single one of these SOFs is represented by multiple channels on UA-cam. They have training programs and they will answer your questions. The only things stopping you are your excuses, and that is not SOF material, so you have a big decision to make.
5:30 I can't stress this enough. Even without joining the SOF, this is important if you're joining the military. I'm a bigger guy, so I hated running for 95% of the 6 years I was in the Army. I had a buddy that was (as a civilian) a personal trainer in my unit that saw me run for PT one day and said, "Larson....omg, dude. Let me help you, please!" I asked what he meant and he said my running form was terrible. He put me on a treadmill and stood beside me watching me. He corrected me on my posture, stride length, everything. It was the hardest month of my life to correct my form, but afterwards I actually started to enjoy running. It had been extremely hard to even pass a PT test before and after, it was a breeze! It might cost you some money to hire a trainer, but please do it! It will be the best investment of your career.
I'm 15 and 73kg (mostly muscle), 171cm and am going to be over 177cm and easily 80kgs at this rate according to my doctor but can't run for shit. I will follow up on this and get some tips on it as I get older because if I can't run I have no chance for infantry. I have never actually considered things like form and posture and strides, I know to focus on that now. Thank you sir, that's going to help me a ton.
I agree.my job coach trained my form.She was successful...and now she wants to date me since I was hired for my job after trying on my own unsuccessfully for 2.5 years or more.
And that is exactly what’s wrong with the Army or any other conventional force for that matter: Only SOF gets adequate, professional training. It shouldn’t have taken six years and luck to happen upon someone with prior professional experience to learn proper running form. Should have been instructed from the beginning. Glad you finally got what you needed, but a big failure on the institution, in my opinion.
That's the spirit. Perhaps you can watch UA-cam while running on the treadmill as you can get into better shape while watching some informative video. Maybe UA-cam can help you learn a foreign language as learning a foreign language is beneficial in any Special Operations unit.
Biggest advice I'd give to young watchers wanting to join SOF, understand that many of those guys are seasoned veterans with years under their belt who've done their time as infantry (or Recon/infantry in the USMC) or other kinds of combat arms related MOS's. They look for mature, skilled veterans who are quick learners and adapters. Coming straight out of high school your chance at joining a SOF unit aren't too great Because you probably lack the maturity and experience they look for. If that's what you wanna do, be infantry to start off, or any combat arms related MOS, and master that job. Stay physically and mentally fit, and once you've accumulated enough experience and confidence in your field of work, then I'd say go for it.
For the most part I agree. Most SF guys are mid-30s. On the other side of the coin you have Rangers that are on average much younger, if you got it, you got it.
Idk youth has an adavatage because when they get there there usually faster weigh less so the workouts r easier there a little ignorant and never had a serious job so sometimes that makes them hungry to be a somebody that people respect (even tho the everybody will respect me now thing gets them in trouble down the line) but your right there not as mature and depending how they grew up in life quitting might not have been a big deal in there family so when it gets hard they drop out but it really all depends if you want it that’s all it take if you really want it and ever since you were 5 you wanted that to be your goal and you have worked for it since and you finally get to buds I’m 90% sure you will make it through since you had that dedication only way you don’t is if you get injured
A good way for people in middle and high, To learn mature manners, Apparance, and anything else is the Boy Scouts. It might seem odd but it prepares young boys for the military and there future life. I went to a camp that had a lot of things, Including rifle training. We would wake up a 6:00 and head to the cafeteria and eat, Then start the morning but getting our group together. Boy Scouts teach you good things, So if your in middle or Starting out in high school. I would join if you want to be a solider later on.
I'm an amateur military historian, and...the "cheese-eating surrender monkey" meme is SOOOO overplayed. The French have a military history going back to the Medieval period-WAAAAYYYY before America was even though of. The French have had their good moments and bad moments, but they have a very bloody military history. The French are warriors, and have been since before America was around.
Nutter On Butter not sure if you’re joking or not but who served their asses to the dunkirk beaches when their other allies were getting evacuated and the FRENCH chose to stick there and cover them. hmm.
Senior in high school, took 9 years of martial arts and now preparing for the army. I’m shooting for an option 40 contract to head to RASP. I do the 12 mile hikes and 5 mile runs. It’s my dream to be a ranger and I’m glad I can watch your videos for support
Okay.. 3 years later. Here’s my update. I didn’t join the military, I got denied because they found out about my AHDH medication when I was a teenager. So that fucking hurt. But I still did something, I’m now 22, I work full time as a FireFighter EMT at a career department. I’ve realized I love emergency medicine and would like to bring that passion out to something less local eventually. I never made ranger, or even got the chance. I think about that everyday. But I’m also proud of who I am. Life really shit kicked me right after not being able to join, I lost both of my parents, moved 6 times. But I’m still here. I’m the same guy as then, just with a different direction then I would’ve imagined. Hopefully others get an opportunity to prove themselves how they feel they need to. Good luck everyone, and always remember. Everything is a competition.
M1A2 SEP V4 I’ve been swimming since I was 5, and I’ve been doing it ever since. During high school swimming days I won every swimming race I was ever involved in (except relays for obvious reasons). And I was in the top 3 in my district for my age. I almost made it to a state level, but I couldn’t quite make it. There are 3 things that make a good swimmer. Technique Repetition Genetics Don’t worry about genetics if you are swimming to get fit. Only worry about that if you are competing at a State or National level. So that leaves technique and repetition. First you must learn how to swim properly. You must do swimming lessons. Get a coach that is going to correct your technique. And then you can worry about going fast. Technique makes or breaks your stroke. I’ve seen so many people who don’t know how to swim probably, loose because they weren’t taught. I see so much wasted potential. Hope this helps.
Remember guys Robert O’Neil was a SEAL Team 6 “DEVGRU” (or whatever you want to call it) guy, and he never knew how to swim when he applied to the Navy.
I’m only in the eighth grade and I am not sure if I am going to join the military but these videos really encourage me to be my best in school, scouts, and more. Thank you for these videos sir.
Alright. Im a freshman. I surprisingly got everthing above on the list even martial arts cause im doing wrestling and tae kwon do. But one really hard problem i need to learn is to not be distracted by social media. Thank you for the video.
Senior here. I've also mastered most of the things necessary. I have one thing to tell you: Delete. Social. Media. You will be the best in the world if you make it into MARSOC, so you got to prepare like nobody else in the world is. See you there,
No words will ever do justice to how much I’ve grown through the Civil Air Patrol. You learn about drill, maintaining a uniform, military bearing, self-discipline, accountability & standards, time management, followership, leading small and large groups, sacrifice & selflessness, and the meaning of being a part of something greater than yourself. Civil Air Patrol schools and events like PJOC/Combat Control Orientation, Encampment, Hawk Mountain Ranger School, and general Search & Rescue operations are among the best challenges the program can give you. For the past three and a half years, I have grown more as a follower and a leader more than I have in my entire life thus far. Semper Vigilans. - C/2d Lt Leng, MAR-MD-028
Wanted to thank you for posting this, considering that for a decent few of us, this is their last few years or possibly the last year of high school and these considerations mean a lot to those going forward. Personally going the distance and going through ROTC in college, as my resources allow me to do so. To those who are going in right after high school I wish you the best of luck, but if you work hard, you won’t need it.
My son followed most if not all of these principles in highschool and has exceeded the standard thus far. Life skills begin NOW ! Thank you for this channel, its 100% truthful in choosing a path in Spec. Ops. Nothing happens overnight. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 NSDQ!
I’m 15. I’m really trying to go to West Point. My dream job is to be a ranger. This video really spoke to me. I’ve already been living every way you describe in the video, and it feels good to know I’m doing something right. I wrestle, play football, take all honors and ap classes, and I work out hours a day.
If you want to be a ranger in regiment, enlist... Dont bother with going to West Point. The chances of being an officer in Regiment, or really Special Forces as an Officer in any branch,) are slim. Very. Slim..
One word of advice that I can’t stress enough to everyone no matter your age, religion, ethnicity, etc is to NEVER GIVE UP Giving up is a matter of life and death in a combat zone, if you give up on a wounded man he will most likely die from his injuries because you gave up on trying to evacuate him to a vehicle (or helicopter both, are still viable) or staying to complete the mission that is currently in front of you. Most people I know will give up on a task because they said it was too hard, to me it was because they could not handle the demands put on them by the task or their subordinates and/or supervisors. Some things are tough but you need the mental capacity to push through a pain and exhaustion to get the task done and over with, Life is a Special Operation guy is very correct with many of the things that he tells and we should look to guys/gals in the military for advice and help in many of our thing we do in civilian life. I am taking JROTC and im on the Drill Team for the last 2 years and I have gained wisdom and experience that helped me with many of my physical and mental problems that a suffered from before I joined the program. I HIGHLY recommend that anyone who is in high school take this program and gain the experiences and skills that help you later in life and join a team to gain the skills and commitment to say and do all the things you say you where going to do. So please I recommend anyone in high school to join the program and be enlightened by how the US military does their stuff. Thank you for reading and have a nice day Cadet Corporal Anthony Nguyen LHS JROTC Drill Team -HOOAH
Thank you so much. I’m a freshman in high school and want to join the Marine Corps (I love the spirit and pride). I don’t want to do special operations or anything similar. I clicked this video to learn how to increase my chances of making it into Special operations and use that knowledge to increase my chances of being a great leader. You’ve helped me and inspired many important and great ideas. Thank you very much
A good rule of thumb that I've learned in SOF is that you should always find a way to "Yes". Even if the original answer is "No" find alternatives that will lead to "Yes".
I'm 16. I do the SFAS PT, I lift, and I run track and cross country. I hope to go into Delta Force. I'm going to swear into the National Guard next year, and hopefully NG SF in college. (Then transfer to active duty.) Thanks for the video man.
The information shared in this video is relevant to all people, not just high school students looking to join SOF. Everyone needs to remember to be the best they possibly can be, at all times!
The piece I’d add to commitment is “be prepared to fail”. It is going to happen, just don’t quit. Best Ranger I ever knew re-cycled every single phase In the course. You also don’t have to be a physical Adonis, but you do need to be physically fit and realistic about your conditioning.
I’m thinking of joining the military, I live in Canada and am in grade 9 and am in cadets in Manitoba this video helped a lot and it’s making it easier for me to decide whether or not I want to.
I wish I had some guidance like this before I joined the Marines back in the early 80s. Went in blind pretty much right after HS. This would have helped.
This is the best advise you ever received even if you don.t realize it yet, Being a team member will be the best thing you ever could be a part of & the most memorable thing you ever accomplish. And when all is said & done you will be amongst the finest men you'll ever know, good luck to all you future SOF guys!
I dont come from a military family in any way however my goal is to join the Australian 2nd Commando Regiment, This video was really helpful and really helped me set my path straight. Thank You!!
Thank you for emphasizing the characteristics of a SOF candidate! Looking on these now I realize that this field of the military probably isn’t for me (though I can definitely implement some of these actions to grow as a person). Thanks for the brutal reality!👍
I had a surgery that kept me out of school so I uninvolved and got my ged in two weeks. I'm taking this opportunity to educate myself in healthy foods and exercise so as soon as I'm healed and able to exercise I can prepare and enlist. I hope to be an airborne ranger as my minimum of achievement and you have been the best place to start my search for information. Thank you so much for your service both to your country and us who plan to follow in your footsteps.
I would say that joining a team or group and becoming a team captain does not make you a leader, being a leader is about man management and leading by example..
Roger that! Where I work there's a lot of good 'bad' examples of team leadership from upper management on down. Hard to have any respect for people that have double standards, abuse award systems, play the the good old boy card, or out right bad mouth good workers behind their backs. And the the hell of it is they still get awarded promotions and honorable recognitions by blind siding their superiors and having their cronies side in with them. Do the right things, do your job, go above what's required, find ways that will improve your area. Get to know the people above you that will support you, don't be negative and don't gripe, and when the going gets tough the tough get going!
I love your videos! you have given me many tips and advice for the military. I plan on either being a pilot, doing a cyber security job, or intelligence job in the USAF
I will make it. I have 3 years to prepare and am making the most of it to get in shape and do what I need to do. I will be in special forces no matter what.
aye im a freshmen starting jrotc, just joined the color guard learned carry colors and all commands that include the rifle and i am very excited for the rest. thank you for this video boss!
As usual your advice is right on the money. Your advice is excellent and will even help then later on in life if they choose to go in another direction..These are all excellent qualities that will make a better person.
Hey man, I love your videos and they really helped as I joined the military. I took your advice to heart and became one of the most motivated guys at my unit. I've become one of the guys who is pushed to go to cool schools and becoming a leader early on.
I wrestled all 4 years, I think it’s good for learning mental toughness and breaking mental barriers. At least that’s what I learned our workouts were pretty brutal.
I am planning on enlisting in the Air National Guard as a TACP straight out of high school while completing college. Thank you for this, as it's definitely given me very good ideas for the training regimen I'm assembling at the moment, and some confidence to boot.
I'm a junior in highschool and currently am in 4 sport. Football, MMA, Track and Field, and Jujitsu. I pretty much no time off during my week. I'm still training to be the best soldier I can be when I graduate.
Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Boxing and Muay Thai. There some sof and swat guys in my mma gym and I would NEVER think of trying aikido or tae kwon do against them. Otherwise excellent video as always.
Im 13 and since i was born i have been wanting to join the sas i just passed the fitness requirements this summer these videos are one stay one of a kind thank you so much
This video changed half my life because yes I used to be very lazy and my mom was always nagging and yelling at me. But as soon as I heard you need to take of yourself I knew I didn't want to live like this my whole life relying on people.
This reminds me of a great scene from the recent Robert the Bruce movie. The Bruce is talking with a young boy who wants to become a soldier. Bruce: "You know what it takes to be a good soldier?" Boy: "Killing lots of men?" Bruce: "No. To be a good soldier, first, you have to be a good brother, a good friend, and a good son... So, in the meantime, you practice being a good boy, and then a good man. And that's what being a good soldier is - knowing you're fighting the good fight... Now, why don't you go peel some potatoes for your mother."
One other thing that I would suggest is spend a couple years in the military before you decide to go special operations. I have seen a lot of people that join the military with aspirations to become an operator but 2 years in and they want nothing more than to leave. The military isn’t what most people think it is and very few people want to make careers out of it.
@Ice Distroyer Yeah I understand where you are coming from but the biggest thing about special operations is that it becomes more than just a job and people that are new to the military don't always adjust. Also a big reason why they make getting those contracts right out of the gate so easy is because most people are very likely to fail and so the military gets to decide where you go after that.
Thank you for doing such an amazing video, really teaches me and encourages me to our region's SOF, thank you for using your experiences to help those who wants to serve in their country or region, please keep it up :)
I’m soon to be 20, got one year of high school left, the military and police are interesting to me. I love to hike, obstacles, working out and today is my first boxing lesson which is outside 😁
I remember once at high school their was a team raft building across a river and our raft wasn’t working so I jumped into the water full clothed and helped our team win.
I initially wanted to join the Parachute regiment, but I have been watching your videos + spoke to my dad and im fully trying to join the UKSF, Im not sure of which SF to join, but I definitely want to do it. I have 3 years to get in shape(im really unhealthy at the moment) and im not sure how to lose weight, increase stamina and all that jazz. I can swim well but thats basically it. Im smart in school, its just my physique.
Who said joining was gonna be easy?is life easy? Fuck no!!! You gotta want that shit. Stay hungry fight for that shit. Your mind and heart will take you far.
Amazing facts right here I was a split op and I went to fort sill for basic. What he is saying is facts! I’m trying to go to ranger school and hopefully to go as a officer in a ranger battalion. In the near future!
When you're in the middle of training for Delta Force and the government begins a new Special Force branch called Ghost Recon... *My time has come, fellow gamers.*
Thanks so much for this video ever since I was in 4th grade I wanted to become a green beret and I’m going into my freshman year this will help a lot for starting high school thanks
Excellent video as usual. I have some comments that you probably won't hear in many other places. One of the things that really drags down the quality of the military and the civilian world as well is public school. I can't emphasize how terrible a public schooling is on your mind and body in most cases, and this especially applies to the military. What I saw was the vast majority of soldiers and leaders did not know how to read and interpret lessons-learned or be familiar with assets available to them in the military that have been set up for them by generations past. They also struggled with making sound and timely decisions because they were not well-versed in logic and the intellectual standards. If you don't educate yourself, you are going to be a dummy. There are no 2 ways about it. One of the best things you can do if you are in school currently is go on a foreign exchange program for at least half a year, if not a full year or more. You will learn more about the world this way than some union employee blowing hot air in a classroom about how much better life is in Timbuktu. Also, try to go to a smaller city or town outside of the capital city of the nation you end up exchanging with. That way, you will have more opportunities to learn a foreign language (they will want to practice their English more with you in most cases, so it makes it very hard to learn the local language without immersion). I can't emphasize how important this will be if you plan on serving in SOF, particularly Army SF or MARSOC. Becoming personally-familiar with foreign cultures and languages by immersion is a far greater educational opportunity than anything you will experience in High School in the States. Before you do anything else after watching this video or reading my comments, learn the Intellectual Standards for critical thinking. There is a formal set of 9 of them. These are not taught in school for some reason, even in most debate classes, primarily because we're about 6 generations into teachers who never got a classical education, never learned the Socratic Method, and don't really know much about anything to be honest. There are previous few who know their subject matter well as a result of the system. Study geography and military history. There are millennia of lessons-learned by soldiers and leaders who have gone before you and paid the price of their mistakes with losses of life and defeat. Most of the hot spots in the world have been hot spots for centuries, with regional ethnic and religious tensions that drive those conflicts. It will pay off to become intimately familiar with them before you are deployed there, starting now. If you make it into a profession where you are in a small unit operating far away from most friendly forces, or as priority elements working with friendly forces tasked with executing missions that could very well end up bringing great honor or disgrace to the US, you might want to start preparing now. 100% on board with Boy Scouts in a Troop that is run by trained leaders (BSA leader here since 1997 when I was in LRS at Fort Lewis). The leadership opportunities in Boy Scouts are excellent developmental opportunities, especially if you attend NYLT and also serve on Camp Staff for one of the summer camps. 100% agree on martial arts, particularly less hard-handed disciplines as mentioned. Learn to be aggressive, calculating, and develop a mentality towards attacking, countering, and counter-countering living, breathing opponents. You will rarely have to go hands-on with someone one-on-one, but the mindset you learn in martial arts is fundamental to rapid strategy and physical fitness, and also serves as an excellent baseline for weapons training as you learn the relationship of your hips, feet, shoulders, head, and arms in weapons-pointing. 100% agree on team sports and running. Just look out for team sports that can result in serious physical injuries to your spine/head/limbs. Snap a tip/fib, femur, radius/ulna and get pins and good luck on getting past the recruiters and MEPS physical, even with a fake set of medical records like JFK got.
I agree..housekeeping could be added...it can be taken to professional levels even beyond the military..an example is how Japanese added American business ways to theirs and developed kaizen
I am 14 years old and i am wishing to one day become a navy seal. I am in very good shape and i can run 3miles in under 21minutes, i do 55 pushups in under 2minutes 95sit ups in under 2 minutes and 20pull ups. Also i can carry a 60kg person on my shoulders and a 50kg bag easily. No one in my family thinks i can do this because i have appeared to be lazy in school. I believe i can 100% prove them wrong i just need a point to the right direction.
For over 20 years I've been carrying a piece of paper that says "Based on a review of available medical information subject applicant does not meet established physical standards for enlistment due to history of a learning history of a learning disability". What should I do with it now ?
Go to a recruiter's office take the practice ASVAB and see what your score is, I have a learning disability too I scored a 25 on the practice test. the learning disability part is just what you able to learn. I recommend you to get the ASVAB for dummies 2018/2019 book or 2019/2020 book. I hope this help bro #LifeISASpecialOperation
I processed in 1998 for the Marine Corps was halted by head MEPS liason who demanded school records from board of ed. They then lied every day for 6 months saying that a waiver was denied when it wasn't even submitted. Then when it was that's after 3 weeks the response I got. The United States Army lied to me every day for another 18 months and said they'd submit it and didn't. The Marines said I'd be charged with fraudulent enlistment if I tried to join again which also a lie because I lied to the Army and got halted at a different MEPS. ASVAB score was 77 the first time and 84 second time.
I also have a learning disability but I studied and I passed and got through fine. There is plenty of free study apps and other programs like ASVAB for dummies
Detective Yapper24 why would he do that? He's been carrying it around for 20yrs! That would make him a minimum of 38y.o. When was the last time you heard of any military branch admitting someone into BMT who was pushing forty?
My Last Year for High school and I found you today lol...
Go to college join a ROTC program SOF needs leadership!
Same
Buy yourself a college for four years while in ROTC. That'll make you a Officer. (Sorry if my grammar is off or if there is any errors)
So what?? Go get a job and then train in the mornings, evenings and on weekends for two years solid. That would prove commitment, most importantly to yourself. If you're willing to do that and progress every quarter and I would say you've earned the right to apply for SOF. And you will be in a much better position going in at 20 years old, having a bit more maturity and perspective on life. Now think about this, 20 years ago when I wanted to go we didn't have no Lieutenant Colonel making a bunch of videos on UA-cam and giving tons of advice on how to get prepared, you spoiled little brat.

Is a great time to tell you guys I'm not American ^^ but Thai
5:30 I can't stress this enough. Even without joining the SOF, this is important if you're joining the military. I'm a bigger guy, so I hated running for 95% of the 6 years I was in the Army. I had a buddy that was (as a civilian) a personal trainer in my unit that saw me run for PT one day and said, "Larson....omg, dude. Let me help you, please!" I asked what he meant and he said my running form was terrible. He put me on a treadmill and stood beside me watching me. He corrected me on my posture, stride length, everything. It was the hardest month of my life to correct my form, but afterwards I actually started to enjoy running. It had been extremely hard to even pass a PT test before and after, it was a breeze!
It might cost you some money to hire a trainer, but please do it! It will be the best investment of your career.
I'm 15 and 73kg (mostly muscle), 171cm and am going to be over 177cm and easily 80kgs at this rate according to my doctor but can't run for shit. I will follow up on this and get some tips on it as I get older because if I can't run I have no chance for infantry. I have never actually considered things like form and posture and strides, I know to focus on that now. Thank you sir, that's going to help me a ton.
Medic83 besides the whole personal trainer thing thats exactly my story to lol with the running and being bigger and all
I agree.my job coach trained my form.She was successful...and now she wants to date me since I was hired for my job after trying on my own unsuccessfully for 2.5 years or more.
And that is exactly what’s wrong with the Army or any other conventional force for that matter: Only SOF gets adequate, professional training. It shouldn’t have taken six years and luck to happen upon someone with prior professional experience to learn proper running form. Should have been instructed from the beginning. Glad you finally got what you needed, but a big failure on the institution, in my opinion.
I better get off UA-cam and get to work!
same

That's the spirit. Perhaps you can watch UA-cam while running on the treadmill as you can get into better shape while watching some informative video. Maybe UA-cam can help you learn a foreign language as learning a foreign language is beneficial in any Special Operations unit.
Maybe some day
Gringo Bombero see you there
Biggest advice I'd give to young watchers wanting to join SOF, understand that many of those guys are seasoned veterans with years under their belt who've done their time as infantry (or Recon/infantry in the USMC) or other kinds of combat arms related MOS's. They look for mature, skilled veterans who are quick learners and adapters. Coming straight out of high school your chance at joining a SOF unit aren't too great Because you probably lack the maturity and experience they look for. If that's what you wanna do, be infantry to start off, or any combat arms related MOS, and master that job. Stay physically and mentally fit, and once you've accumulated enough experience and confidence in your field of work, then I'd say go for it.
For the most part I agree. Most SF guys are mid-30s.
On the other side of the coin you have Rangers that are on average much younger, if you got it, you got it.
They get some MI guys into SF also. You need a pretty clean record to get the clearance you will need in SF. Stay out of trouble.
Idk youth has an adavatage because when they get there there usually faster weigh less so the workouts r easier there a little ignorant and never had a serious job so sometimes that makes them hungry to be a somebody that people respect (even tho the everybody will respect me now thing gets them in trouble down the line) but your right there not as mature and depending how they grew up in life quitting might not have been a big deal in there family so when it gets hard they drop out but it really all depends if you want it that’s all it take if you really want it and ever since you were 5 you wanted that to be your goal and you have worked for it since and you finally get to buds I’m 90% sure you will make it through since you had that dedication only way you don’t is if you get injured
Is military police a combat arms job? I know they can work alongside infantry on deployments
A good way for people in middle and high, To learn mature manners, Apparance, and anything else is the Boy Scouts. It might seem odd but it prepares young boys for the military and there future life.
I went to a camp that had a lot of things, Including rifle training. We would wake up a 6:00 and head to the cafeteria and eat, Then start the morning but getting our group together.
Boy Scouts teach you good things, So if your in middle or Starting out in high school. I would join if you want to be a solider later on.
Quitting is an option in the war zone just ask the French
Thats only because they lost their ENITRE army just before WWII...
I'm an amateur military historian, and...the "cheese-eating surrender monkey" meme is SOOOO overplayed. The French have a military history going back to the Medieval period-WAAAAYYYY before America was even though of. The French have had their good moments and bad moments, but they have a very bloody military history. The French are warriors, and have been since before America was around.

Nutter On Butter not sure if you’re joking or not but who served their asses to the dunkirk beaches when their other allies were getting evacuated and the FRENCH chose to stick there and cover them. hmm.
Nutter On Butter how do you like and dislike a comment at the same time
Senior in high school, took 9 years of martial arts and now preparing for the army. I’m shooting for an option 40 contract to head to RASP. I do the 12 mile hikes and 5 mile runs. It’s my dream to be a ranger and I’m glad I can watch your videos for support
You make it dawg?
Any update?
Okay.. 3 years later. Here’s my update.
I didn’t join the military, I got denied because they found out about my AHDH medication when I was a teenager. So that fucking hurt. But I still did something,
I’m now 22, I work full time as a FireFighter EMT at a career department. I’ve realized I love emergency medicine and would like to bring that passion out to something less local eventually. I never made ranger, or even got the chance. I think about that everyday. But I’m also proud of who I am. Life really shit kicked me right after not being able to join, I lost both of my parents, moved 6 times. But I’m still here. I’m the same guy as then, just with a different direction then I would’ve imagined. Hopefully others get an opportunity to prove themselves how they feel they need to. Good luck everyone, and always remember. Everything is a competition.
@@ZeroGaming-el7yt I'm glad to hear that it ended up working out for you
Wait im 13 and have ADHD i take medication but i dont think i need it do you think i will get denied?
Don't be discouraged you can always improve!
I’m surprised you didn’t mention anything about becoming proficient in swimming.
Yea I was thinking about going into SF once I get but I cant swim for shit
M1A2 SEP V4 I’ve been swimming since I was 5, and I’ve been doing it ever since. During high school swimming days I won every swimming race I was ever involved in (except relays for obvious reasons). And I was in the top 3 in my district for my age. I almost made it to a state level, but I couldn’t quite make it.
There are 3 things that make a good swimmer.
Technique
Repetition
Genetics
Don’t worry about genetics if you are swimming to get fit. Only worry about that if you are competing at a State or National level.
So that leaves technique and repetition. First you must learn how to swim properly. You must do swimming lessons. Get a coach that is going to correct your technique. And then you can worry about going fast. Technique makes or breaks your stroke. I’ve seen so many people who don’t know how to swim probably, loose because they weren’t taught. I see so much wasted potential.
Hope this helps.
@@ryack6355 thank you
It does but something like Navy SEAL's focuses on majority of water
Remember guys Robert O’Neil was a SEAL Team 6 “DEVGRU” (or whatever you want to call it) guy, and he never knew how to swim when he applied to the Navy.
I’m only in the eighth grade and I am not sure if I am going to join the military but these videos really encourage me to be my best in school, scouts, and more. Thank you for these videos sir.
Love the page we be lost without you
Watch all his teaching and apply what you've learned. Pass it on, Never lost

Love your videos keep it up and what about the college students that want to join the military as well
He said young people as well
Literally everything he said here would apply man. All of it.
All of it. Follow his advice. and don't get a head of yourself in training, SOF dudes aren't meat heads, you don't need to be ripped.
Thanks Detective Yapper
Alright. Im a freshman. I surprisingly got everthing above on the list even martial arts cause im doing wrestling and tae kwon do. But one really hard problem i need to learn is to not be distracted by social media. Thank you for the video.
Delete it bro. Stick to simpler things like text messaging. Trust me you'll regret your time on social media by the time your senior year shows up
Senior here. I've also mastered most of the things necessary. I have one thing to tell you: Delete. Social. Media. You will be the best in the world if you make it into MARSOC, so you got to prepare like nobody else in the world is. See you there,
No words will ever do justice to how much I’ve grown through the Civil Air Patrol. You learn about drill, maintaining a uniform, military bearing, self-discipline, accountability & standards, time management, followership, leading small and large groups, sacrifice & selflessness, and the meaning of being a part of something greater than yourself. Civil Air Patrol schools and events like PJOC/Combat Control Orientation, Encampment, Hawk Mountain Ranger School, and general Search & Rescue operations are among the best challenges the program can give you. For the past three and a half years, I have grown more as a follower and a leader more than I have in my entire life thus far. Semper Vigilans. - C/2d Lt Leng, MAR-MD-028
Wanted to thank you for posting this, considering that for a decent few of us, this is their last few years or possibly the last year of high school and these considerations mean a lot to those going forward. Personally going the distance and going through ROTC in college, as my resources allow me to do so. To those who are going in right after high school I wish you the best of luck, but if you work hard, you won’t need it.
Wow, thanks Im in 8th grade. And I'm gonna sign in Military High school in Poland. I wanna see if your advices work.
Jesteś wy Polsce?
That´s a fantastic idea !
dont apologize for speaking a second language, you speak it very well.

So thats hella awesome that your is uncle is in GROM.
Hey by any chance has he met Ella or Zofia?

2:32 its midnight rn, I finished my school at six and I have watched youtube all day.
Phil Swift who tf finishes school at 6pm
Penguin Lips probably does after school activities like a normal person lol
Yo wtf I’m exactly the same
I’m 15. I’m really trying to go to West Point. My dream job is to be a ranger. This video really spoke to me. I’ve already been living every way you describe in the video, and it feels good to know I’m doing something right. I wrestle, play football, take all honors and ap classes, and I work out hours a day.
If you want to be a ranger in regiment, enlist... Dont bother with going to West Point. The chances of being an officer in Regiment, or really Special Forces as an Officer in any branch,) are slim. Very. Slim..
Yeah, what mike said. Being an Officer is not the way to go.
update?
Did you make it to West Point?
Chris Stonewall, Grateful appreciation for these videos!!
Nice
One word of advice that I can’t stress enough to everyone no matter your age, religion, ethnicity, etc is to
NEVER GIVE UP
Giving up is a matter of life and death in a combat zone, if you give up on a wounded man he will most likely die from his injuries because you gave up on trying to evacuate him to a vehicle (or helicopter both, are still viable) or staying to complete the mission that is currently in front of you. Most people I know will give up on a task because they said it was too hard, to me it was because they could not handle the demands put on them by the task or their subordinates and/or supervisors. Some things are tough but you need the mental capacity to push through a pain and exhaustion to get the task done and over with, Life is a Special Operation guy is very correct with many of the things that he tells and we should look to guys/gals in the military for advice and help in many of our thing we do in civilian life. I am taking JROTC and im on the Drill Team for the last 2 years and I have gained wisdom and experience that helped me with many of my physical and mental problems that a suffered from before I joined the program. I HIGHLY recommend that anyone who is in high school take this program and gain the experiences and skills that help you later in life and join a team to gain the skills and commitment to say and do all the things you say you where going to do. So please I recommend anyone in high school to join the program and be enlightened by how the US military does their stuff. Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Reached high school and thinking about military for 2 years and finally found this channel I've been wanting to be a army ranger for a while
Thank you so much. I’m a freshman in high school and want to join the Marine Corps (I love the spirit and pride). I don’t want to do special operations or anything similar. I clicked this video to learn how to increase my chances of making it into Special operations and use that knowledge to increase my chances of being a great leader. You’ve helped me and inspired many important and great ideas. Thank you very much
A good rule of thumb that I've learned in SOF is that you should always find a way to "Yes". Even if the original answer is "No" find alternatives that will lead to "Yes".
I'm 16. I do the SFAS PT, I lift, and I run track and cross country. I hope to go into Delta Force. I'm going to swear into the National Guard next year, and hopefully NG SF in college. (Then transfer to active duty.) Thanks for the video man.
The information shared in this video is relevant to all people, not just high school students looking to join SOF. Everyone needs to remember to be the best they possibly can be, at all times!
Really helpful and clearly explained. Love it. Thanks.
Thanks Moose
The piece I’d add to commitment is “be prepared to fail”. It is going to happen, just don’t quit. Best Ranger I ever knew re-cycled every single phase In the course. You also don’t have to be a physical Adonis, but you do need to be physically fit and realistic about your conditioning.
Definitely needed this, since I've already begun the enlistment process for being an 11B with an option 40
Lucky ass
youre gonna love sand hill
@@airgunningyup sand hill?
@@armandopacheco-soto2399 its a beautiful hill where most infantry basic/ait takes place in ft benning.
Couldn't get option 40 for 2 months now.
I’m thinking of joining the military, I live in Canada and am in grade 9 and am in cadets in Manitoba this video helped a lot and it’s making it easier for me to decide whether or not I want to.
I wish I had some guidance like this before I joined the Marines back in the early 80s. Went in blind pretty much right after HS. This would have helped.
Thank you for giving these youngsters and encouraging without sugar coating.
Martial arts is a Major plus the younger the better in my opinion.😎
I dont even know why im watching this when i have mandatory military service regardless of what i chose :D
Get ready for boot camp, recruit.
What country
This is the best advise you ever received even if you don.t realize it yet, Being a team member will be the best thing you ever could be a part of & the most memorable thing you ever accomplish. And when all is said & done you will be amongst the finest men you'll ever know, good luck to all you future SOF guys!
scott satren just don’t do Akido
I dont come from a military family in any way however my goal is to join the Australian 2nd Commando Regiment, This video was really helpful and really helped me set my path straight. Thank You!!
I am a high school student. Motivation is very important for us . Thanks for this video👍
Thank you for emphasizing the characteristics of a SOF candidate! Looking on these now I realize that this field of the military probably isn’t for me (though I can definitely implement some of these actions to grow as a person). Thanks for the brutal reality!👍
I had a surgery that kept me out of school so I uninvolved and got my ged in two weeks. I'm taking this opportunity to educate myself in healthy foods and exercise so as soon as I'm healed and able to exercise I can prepare and enlist. I hope to be an airborne ranger as my minimum of achievement and you have been the best place to start my search for information. Thank you so much for your service both to your country and us who plan to follow in your footsteps.
I would say that joining a team or group and becoming a team captain does not make you a leader, being a leader is about man management and leading by example..
You generally have to be part of a team to have opportunities for leadership.
Roger that! Where I work there's a lot of good 'bad' examples of team leadership from upper management on down.
Hard to have any respect for people that have double standards, abuse award systems, play the the good old boy card, or out right bad mouth good workers behind their backs. And the the hell of it is they still get awarded promotions and honorable recognitions by blind siding their superiors and having their cronies side in with them.
Do the right things, do your job, go above what's required, find ways that will improve your area. Get to know the people above you that will support you, don't be negative and don't gripe, and when the going gets tough the tough get going!
I love your videos! you have given me many tips and advice for the military. I plan on either being a pilot, doing a cyber security job, or intelligence job in the USAF
Just make sure you're not medically disqualified, don't want it to crush you like a can. (a peanut allergy, for example, is a disqualifying factor)
I will make it. I have 3 years to prepare and am making the most of it to get in shape and do what I need to do. I will be in special forces no matter what.
You certainly have the spirit from what I hear, powrler to you.
I’m about to start my senior year in a week after I either want to go to marine recon or a ranger
I’ll be joining Royal Marines Commandos next year, very helpful video, shame I found it a little bit late. Good luck everyone 👊🏼
Dimitrij Albul Same with me bro good luck and stay hard ⚔️
This just made me relook over my whole life so far...
Omw... Thanks a million. I'm going to try out for royal Marine Commandos next year... This is everything
Thanks for motivating me more. Getting rid of social media and going to work towards my future. Still have 4 more years to prepare.
You won’t make it
aye im a freshmen starting jrotc, just joined the color guard learned carry colors and all commands that include the rifle and i am very excited for the rest. thank you for this video boss!
Ah, I remember doing that all last year. Now I'm in Color Guard, Saber, and part of Staff Call. It's definitely a fun program if you get into it
As usual your advice is right on the money. Your advice is excellent and will even help then later on in life if they choose to go in another direction..These are all excellent qualities that will make a better person.
Jr Gt stay away from akido
Nice timing. Literally just enlisted into the Army couple days ago. Thanks for the tips.
Saaaameee
Thanks so much man, I asked all sorts of SOF guys what I should do, your the most helpful one.
Hey man, I love your videos and they really helped as I joined the military. I took your advice to heart and became one of the most motivated guys at my unit. I've become one of the guys who is pushed to go to cool schools and becoming a leader early on.
Please don't do aikido try something like BJJ, wrestling or judo. Sparing will help you with stresfull situations
Markantain agreed, i do mma and it is very good for fitness and stress management
Wrestling, BJJ, and western boxing are the “best” bases for martial arts IMO.
@@ek7404 i would say Muay thai is some what better than boxing because you get used to kick and also knees and elbows
I would agree with Krav Maga, BJJ, and Kickboxing.
I wrestled all 4 years, I think it’s good for learning mental toughness and breaking mental barriers. At least that’s what I learned our workouts were pretty brutal.
I am planning on enlisting in the Air National Guard as a TACP straight out of high school while completing college. Thank you for this, as it's definitely given me very good ideas for the training regimen I'm assembling at the moment, and some confidence to boot.
Thank you for the very real words of wisdom. I will be a senior and plan on enlisting this year.
Thanks again for your knowledge it was an eye opener for me, can’t do the big things without doing the little things in life.
Thank you sir!
I'm a junior in highschool and currently am in 4 sport. Football, MMA, Track and Field, and Jujitsu. I pretty much no time off during my week.
I'm still training to be the best soldier I can be when I graduate.
Nice am a volunteer firefighter and in mma,track&field
I’m 100% unprepared except for the fact that I ruck march every weekend and have been doing ju jitsu for 6 years (I’m 14)
First year of high school and this really helped out, tank you!
Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Boxing and Muay Thai. There some sof and swat guys in my mma gym and I would NEVER think of trying aikido or tae kwon do against them. Otherwise excellent video as always.
Im 13 and since i was born i have been wanting to join the sas i just passed the fitness requirements this summer these videos are one stay one of a kind thank you so much
Though i didn't actively search for it, I'm so fucking thankful this video exists
I'm gonna finish High School next year, and turn 18 in two. Plan on getting into the Spanish Armada's Infantry by then. Really nice vid
This video changed half my life because yes I used to be very lazy and my mom was always nagging and yelling at me. But as soon as I heard you need to take of yourself I knew I didn't want to live like this my whole life relying on people.
This reminds me of a great scene from the recent Robert the Bruce movie. The Bruce is talking with a young boy who wants to become a soldier.
Bruce: "You know what it takes to be a good soldier?"
Boy: "Killing lots of men?"
Bruce: "No. To be a good soldier, first, you have to be a good brother, a good friend, and a good son... So, in the meantime, you practice being a good boy, and then a good man. And that's what being a good soldier is - knowing you're fighting the good fight... Now, why don't you go peel some potatoes for your mother."
Great video man. In 17 and i ship out may 29th and go to AIT after i graduate next year. Wish me luck!
rising 9th grader, this is very helpful. Thank you.
One other thing that I would suggest is spend a couple years in the military before you decide to go special operations. I have seen a lot of people that join the military with aspirations to become an operator but 2 years in and they want nothing more than to leave. The military isn’t what most people think it is and very few people want to make careers out of it.
@Ice Distroyer Yeah I understand where you are coming from but the biggest thing about special operations is that it becomes more than just a job and people that are new to the military don't always adjust. Also a big reason why they make getting those contracts right out of the gate so easy is because most people are very likely to fail and so the military gets to decide where you go after that.
Thank you for doing such an amazing video, really teaches me and encourages me to our region's SOF, thank you for using your experiences to help those who wants to serve in their country or region, please keep it up :)
Just stay away from akido
I’m soon to be 20, got one year of high school left, the military and police are interesting to me. I love to hike, obstacles, working out and today is my first boxing lesson which is outside 😁
Thank You sir .
I remember once at high school their was a team raft building across a river and our raft wasn’t working so I jumped into the water full clothed and helped our team win.
I initially wanted to join the Parachute regiment, but I have been watching your videos + spoke to my dad and im fully trying to join the UKSF, Im not sure of which SF to join, but I definitely want to do it. I have 3 years to get in shape(im really unhealthy at the moment) and im not sure how to lose weight, increase stamina and all that jazz. I can swim well but thats basically it. Im smart in school, its just my physique.
I ship out on August it's also my last year of high school and watching this gets me more excited
9:36 - Thank you for sharing.
Who said joining was gonna be easy?is life easy? Fuck no!!! You gotta want that shit. Stay hungry fight for that shit. Your mind and heart will take you far.
Outstanding advice. Many adults would do to watch this. Kudos sir and Semper Fi.
Amazing facts right here I was a split op and I went to fort sill for basic. What he is saying is facts! I’m trying to go to ranger school and hopefully to go as a officer in a ranger battalion. In the near future!
marco medina just stay away from akido
This video will definitely help me thank you for posting this!!!
When you're in the middle of training for Delta Force and the government begins a new Special Force branch called Ghost Recon...
*My time has come, fellow gamers.*
Just got sworn into the army reserves as a combat engineer a week ago last Tuesday. I could really use an MOS specific prep video.
Thanks so much for this video ever since I was in 4th grade I wanted to become a green beret and I’m going into my freshman year this will help a lot for starting high school thanks
Excellent video as usual. I have some comments that you probably won't hear in many other places.
One of the things that really drags down the quality of the military and the civilian world as well is public school. I can't emphasize how terrible a public schooling is on your mind and body in most cases, and this especially applies to the military. What I saw was the vast majority of soldiers and leaders did not know how to read and interpret lessons-learned or be familiar with assets available to them in the military that have been set up for them by generations past. They also struggled with making sound and timely decisions because they were not well-versed in logic and the intellectual standards.
If you don't educate yourself, you are going to be a dummy. There are no 2 ways about it. One of the best things you can do if you are in school currently is go on a foreign exchange program for at least half a year, if not a full year or more. You will learn more about the world this way than some union employee blowing hot air in a classroom about how much better life is in Timbuktu. Also, try to go to a smaller city or town outside of the capital city of the nation you end up exchanging with. That way, you will have more opportunities to learn a foreign language (they will want to practice their English more with you in most cases, so it makes it very hard to learn the local language without immersion). I can't emphasize how important this will be if you plan on serving in SOF, particularly Army SF or MARSOC. Becoming personally-familiar with foreign cultures and languages by immersion is a far greater educational opportunity than anything you will experience in High School in the States.
Before you do anything else after watching this video or reading my comments, learn the Intellectual Standards for critical thinking. There is a formal set of 9 of them. These are not taught in school for some reason, even in most debate classes, primarily because we're about 6 generations into teachers who never got a classical education, never learned the Socratic Method, and don't really know much about anything to be honest. There are previous few who know their subject matter well as a result of the system.
Study geography and military history. There are millennia of lessons-learned by soldiers and leaders who have gone before you and paid the price of their mistakes with losses of life and defeat. Most of the hot spots in the world have been hot spots for centuries, with regional ethnic and religious tensions that drive those conflicts. It will pay off to become intimately familiar with them before you are deployed there, starting now. If you make it into a profession where you are in a small unit operating far away from most friendly forces, or as priority elements working with friendly forces tasked with executing missions that could very well end up bringing great honor or disgrace to the US, you might want to start preparing now.
100% on board with Boy Scouts in a Troop that is run by trained leaders (BSA leader here since 1997 when I was in LRS at Fort Lewis). The leadership opportunities in Boy Scouts are excellent developmental opportunities, especially if you attend NYLT and also serve on Camp Staff for one of the summer camps.
100% agree on martial arts, particularly less hard-handed disciplines as mentioned. Learn to be aggressive, calculating, and develop a mentality towards attacking, countering, and counter-countering living, breathing opponents. You will rarely have to go hands-on with someone one-on-one, but the mindset you learn in martial arts is fundamental to rapid strategy and physical fitness, and also serves as an excellent baseline for weapons training as you learn the relationship of your hips, feet, shoulders, head, and arms in weapons-pointing.
100% agree on team sports and running. Just look out for team sports that can result in serious physical injuries to your spine/head/limbs. Snap a tip/fib, femur, radius/ulna and get pins and good luck on getting past the recruiters and MEPS physical, even with a fake set of medical records like JFK got.
This could pretty much be applied to life. Great advice!
I'm 18 and eventhough i am not looking to join the army, this advice is EXTREMELY helpful
As a sophomore in high school that had a goal of becoming a seal this was really helpful
18 year old grandson joined the Air Force, best thing he ever did.
I agree..housekeeping could be added...it can be taken to professional levels even beyond the military..an example is how Japanese added American business ways to theirs and developed kaizen
Thanks for the video brother
could you make a video on how to plan effectively?
Best advice ever. Seriously.
Thank you for this advices i'll start making myself a better person to be part of the (SOF).
Wooow legit what I said to my friends when I was in buds “I’m ether leaving here in a casket or leaving here as a seal” crazy
How’s is it going?
I am 14 years old and i am wishing to one day become a navy seal. I am in very good shape and i can run 3miles in under 21minutes, i do 55 pushups in under 2minutes 95sit ups in under 2 minutes and 20pull ups. Also i can carry a 60kg person on my shoulders and a 50kg bag easily. No one in my family thinks i can do this because i have appeared to be lazy in school. I believe i can 100% prove them wrong i just need a point to the right direction.
THANKS for the Big advice I really appreciate.
Thank you so much for making this
Your video is very helpful
Thanks to you
I'll improve myself in time
Thank you, really appreciate this.
For over 20 years I've been carrying a piece of paper that says "Based on a review of available medical information subject applicant does not meet established physical standards for enlistment due to history of a learning history of a learning disability". What should I do with it now ?
Go to a recruiter's office take the practice ASVAB and see what your score is, I have a learning disability too I scored a 25 on the practice test. the learning disability part is just what you able to learn. I recommend you to get the ASVAB for dummies 2018/2019 book or 2019/2020 book. I hope this help bro #LifeISASpecialOperation
I processed in 1998 for the Marine Corps was halted by head MEPS liason who demanded school records from board of ed. They then lied every day for 6 months saying that a waiver was denied when it wasn't even submitted. Then when it was that's after 3 weeks the response I got. The United States Army lied to me every day for another 18 months and said they'd submit it and didn't. The Marines said I'd be charged with fraudulent enlistment if I tried to join again which also a lie because I lied to the Army and got halted at a different MEPS. ASVAB score was 77 the first time and 84 second time.
I also have a learning disability but I studied and I passed and got through fine. There is plenty of free study apps and other programs like ASVAB for dummies
Detective Yapper24 why would he do that? He's been carrying it around for 20yrs! That would make him a minimum of 38y.o. When was the last time you heard of any military branch admitting someone into BMT who was pushing forty?
