I would respectfully add one more - intelligence. The SF types I met had amazing mental acuity. They learn languages, know history, psychology, and are medically skilled among other areas of interest. Mad respect for all the SF branches! Thanks for what y’all do!

The term special forces are specifically towards green berets. Special Operations forces (SOF) is the broad term.

Interesting perspective and good advice. Although I'm 4 of 5 things you mentioned. Just retired last year after 26 years and 20 of those was a Green Beret. For those interested in any branch Special Operations train your mind as much as your body. Your mind will give up before your body does. It comes down to how bad you really want it.

All five signs say I will be Special Forces...I've sold everything, divorced my wife and I'm ready to get on with it. I don't know how this is going to happen because I'm 45 years old, but trusting what you say. Thanks.

Straight to the point? No bullshit, you listed your 5 signs in the description, no click bait. Thank you Jay! You're channel is blowing up and everyone who watches knows it will continue to do so!

Telling people they will do great things is way more productive than telling them how smart they are

Training right now for Airborne infantry and after my 4 year contract is over I wanna be a green beret. Your videos on top of my dads advice (he was a marine for 4 years. Then national guard and now he’s a loadmaster in the Air Force) are helping me so much. Great video man. The hanging out with losers part made me drop my friend group. They told me I wouldn’t make it. Only motivated me more to push myself harder. I WILL prove them wrong and fulfill my dream of being a green beret.

#5 needs to be across the board both Military and civilian when it comes to leadership and those who deserve to be told those things. If you are in a leadership role and shit on people 24/7 when they are doing good bad or indifferent they are going to say OK fuck this and you too! Letting someone down that has pushed you and put that positive reinforcement into your head is such a game changer and it REALLY hurts when you let them down even worse than your self. But it gets that mindset of ok after a little rest and refocusing im getting back on that horse.

Surprising video to say the least, when I clicked on this video I was thinking that you were going to say things like "You can easily run 15 miles" and things like that but when you started mentioning those things it started opening my mind and get a different perspective on joining.

i just finished my rootbeer. i was full from my porkchop sammy, but i put in the effort and i finished the rootbeer.

Persistence.

I'm only four of these things, if I work hard can I be special forces? Whether or not that answer is yes, I'll do my damndest to try.

Oh no I have a few of the traits already my brain is non stop firing off about what ifs in terms of security protecting family strategy shit I don’t sleep sometimes unless I absolutely understand something and then get better at it then someone else could be my adhd but still

I have no support from friends or family in my decision to choose Ranger and try to move up into an SMU one day so i look to men like you. Should I be smoking myself daily? I'm talking 4000 calories burned average before any workouts or running/rucks Monday through Friday. I tear through 9 bottles of water a day. I feel like my job is stopping me from getting stronger and faster cause I can't repair myself in time. It's hard manual labor. I read in RASP that they burn 6 to 7 thousand calories a day and only consume around 2500. I can handle the smoke sessions, im not being a baby, but right now, I think it's not helping me get better and put meat on the bone before selection.

Hey man, I'm new to the channel. I'm currently 17 with an 11x contract, and I leave for BCT this summer. My dream is to serve in the 75th RR. Any advice for me as I finish my senior year? Thanks for the content, this stuff helps.

Once you’re selected, you can definitely request a MOS. Since you’re already a medic, it should be easy to get it..
