Marine officer here: first off, great channel, great video. One thing to note about MARSOC is that you can’t enter right off the bat; you have to do a tour in the fleet first. Recon does offer a contract where you can enlist and go straight to the schoolhouse. Tattoos *may or may not* actually be a dealbreaker. Waivers are available in direct proportion to your desirability as a candidate. Also, we all eat crayons out in the open, no shame in that game.

It didn’t matter if you were half way through your physical therapy or not. After being dropped they offered me the jobs that no one else in the navy wanted. If you get hurt you have to wait a minimum of 2 years before you can return to any NSW pipeline. I got out of the Navy later on, and now I’m joining the Army to go to RASP because I want to be in the 75th Ranger Regiment.

For all you aspiring 18X’s out there, in the event of a failed SFAS, you may (and probably will) be reclassed to the needs of the Army. That means if you fail SFAS, you may be reclassed to anything else not of your choice. That means in-demand jobs that most don’t want i.e. mechanics and cooks. If you want to get after it, do so, but be prepared for what the future may hold.

Strongly recommend those coming out of HS thinking about a SOF career to take a full year post school and do nothing but soul searching and physically and mentally preparing prior to enlisting. As an officer, you have ample time over four years to do this. Many candidates don't make selection more so because once they're in the process they have an epiphany and realize a SOF career is not really what they wanted all along...

@@AFGixxeR88 I’m about to be 19. You should decide what you want to do but no theres no typical ages for Rangers but you should pick what unit you are more interested in based on how they work, how they train, what they train in, and most importantly what they do. The basis is Rangers are more direct action and conduct raids and CQB, and recon. Green Berets can do the same thing but are masters of unconventional warfare and conduct Foreign Internal Defense and train rebel groups to fight against an insurgent group and such. Just do your own research and find out what you want to do. You could always do both but at different points in your career. Such as being a Ranger first and then go down the pipeline of Green Berets.

Glad you brought up thinking about were you will be if things go wrong. I hear so many people saying if you worry about that you already failed and so many people go in and are miserable. I think confidence is great aslong as you are realistic with yourself

My 2cents from a retired 18D 20thSFG(A). Again this based on my experience. I'd say go national guard SF if you happen to be in close proximity to a unit(did'nt matter to a lot of guys that just flew in for drill) . Once your tabbed you can always go on active duty with one of the groups if you desire. I went through the Q course in 1986-87. I pursued a career in the Fire dept which I retired from with an awesome pension after 30 years of service. During that time I deployed on multiple JCETs throughout central/south America plus whatever schools I wanted. The GWOT came around and I did 2 OEF and 1 OIF deployments plus multiple JCETs that 7th group couldnt commit to at the time. Now I am very blessed to be receiving 2 pensions FD/Army. With that said, If active duty is what you want I'd say go Ranger RGMT. Keep in mind that now the op tempo is not what its was during the height of the GWOT.

Definitely looking forward to that future video you're gonna do with JP. JP is an awesome dude and a great role model.

I went into the Navy with a SWCC contract. I didn't do any meaningful preparation, and surprise surprise, I promptly dropped and ended up in the fleet. I didn't really care because I actually liked being on a frigate and sailing all over Europe & the Middle East for a few years, but a fair number of SEAL washouts ended up there too. The biggest problem is that on a ship like that, there is no way to really train, and due to perpetual crew shortages, the command did everything in their power to prevent guys from going back to NSW. So pretty much they would get stuck for an entire enlistment on the ship, and would only try again if they got it as part of their re-enlistment. Out of about 6 guys who'd washed out of NSW and ended up on our ship, none ended up returning that I knew of.

Listened to the podcast you had man and you talking about being a cook was nice because you understand how people talk down to us I had my reasons for picking it but on my first PT test a guy looked at me and told his buddy that you can’t run slower than a cook and so I outran everyone except for our commander and currently just waiting to turn 20 to go to selection which is what I really want to do (no one wants to be making omelettes man)

My goal is SF, I leave for infantry OSUT in a week, guys like you are an inspiration man, keep the videos coming! RLTW DOL

your videos are fucking perfect , all the little details i wasnt trackin.. was an 11bravo for 4 years spent 4 years back as a civilian, going down to beg them for an 18X contract and do 20 years and retire from the military finally grew the balls to commit to something bigger than myself

Back in the day, 80's Was Signal Corps for my first and started my 2nd enlistment. Knew my MOS was being eliminated in the next few years, so decided that I was going to go Infantry on my 3rd enlistment, ultimately wanted to get 18E. But during my 2nd enlistment, sustained injury and was forced out on a medical. Knocking on the door of 60 years old now and one of my biggest regrets that I didn't make it.

Merry Christmas Buck! Thanks for all the videos and hope you have a good one today brother.

As a Navy Vet I can tell you everyone who washes out of SEAL, SWCC, EOD, ect. get sent to the fleet as an Undesignated meaning they dont have a Rate( MOS ). Generally what this means is those sailors will typically get attached to either topside or they will get attached to a Engineering rate with the GSM's. Boatswains mates kind of do the up keep on the ship itself, painting the ship in dock ect. GSM's work on the Turbine engines of the ship, from either of these positions if the sailor like's what they're doing they can Strike into those rates or they can try to strike into another rate that falls into the 2 categories either Fireman or Seaman. The Navy can be a bit confusing with their rates and what they mean. Basic break down of the initial designations would be Seaman, Fireman, Airman, Dentalman, Hospitalman. Seaman are your what's considered your topsiders, BM's, OS's, CS's, IT's CTT's ect. These rates do not normally work in the engine rooms. Fireman are your engineering department such as MM, DC, HT, MR, GSM, GSE ect. These rates do work a lot in the engine rooms. Aviation and the others are kind of self explanatory as for what they do, I never ran into anyone Undesignated in the other 3 designations however I'm sure its possible to choose any of the 5 initial designations to explore the kind of work you're interested in before striking into a specific rate. I got out in 2016 so im sure things have changed and what I've said may not be 100% accurate but over all this should at least give someone the basic ideology for what happens when you fail any of the Naval Spec-War pipelines. Also this is for an enlisted sailor who fails a pipeline, I have no idea what happens to an officer if they fail.

Thanks for the great vid buck, merry Christmas!!

Some thoughts on water one time I fell through the ice on a frozen pond in coveralls and boots, which probably weighed another 80lbs wet, i was alone and I can tell you every bone in your body will tell you to get out, you have maybe 20min before hypothermia sets in, and you can lose all your muscle control. Your brain will do a very fast situation assessment and come up with a plan. I crawled out breaking ice on the way until I hit thicker ice to climb on top. If you want to simulate this pour 15 gallons of ice into a bathtub, fill with cold water, try laying down in it for 10min or more, have a friend in case it gets you , but see what your mind says to you after a while, it sends some pretty strong advice about rapid exit from the situation

Great video. Hilarious intro lol. Currently in process of Med boarding due to back injury sustained while in the Special Forces pipeline. Came in as 18xray and had to go to selection twice to make it happen. Was in the SFQC as an 18B student. After not getting selected the first time I received a 6 month return date but I did NOT get to stay at the school house of stay an 11B as my primary MOS. I tried but it didn’t happen and I got reclassed to 19D and was shipped to Germany with the 173rd. Eventually dropped my SFAS packet went back and got selected but I was very very miserable during the entire reclassification process and wasn’t doing the job I signed up for. That’s not only my experience but many of my fellow buddies had the same fate with getting reclassed to MOS’s like cook, parachute rigger, and anything under the sun the Army needs at the time. My understanding is retaining your 11b if you don’t make it through SFAS depends on the needs of the Army at that time. I maintained the 11B mos on my ERB but my primary MOS is 19D. Just some current info for your listeners.

Army Rangers seem to want to be on the front lines and win the war. Others just seem to do it for themselves or want to stay away from front line combat. I remember seeing a Ranger E4 with 2 deployments under his belt and a Ranger Tab and he hadn't even been in for 2 years yet. Those guys are very experienced and knowledgeable. I'm in the medical field and so much of what we know comes from experience with the Rangers. Equipment, battle tactics and much more come from them.

Whast's up Buck? Merry Christmas man! 18X doesn't guarantee you will be 11B if you fail during the pipeline. The Army will re-class your ass to "Needs Of The Army" and put you in MOS' ranging from Gen repair to Cav Scout.

Just got back from my 2nd meps for my heart murmur. I find out whether or not I can enlist in a few days. Wish me luck.

A lot of young dumb dudes like myself "want" to see combat at least once in their career to feel fulfilled in special operations. It's often presented that only Rangers see combat right now. Could you do a video on that as well as which units are the most likely/least likely for DA deployments and missions? Would definitely clear up some misconceptions I'm sure me and others have. Thanks sir and Merry Christmas!

Rangers are the Army’s premier DA raid force. DA is the Regiment main mission, tons of combat missions if you make it.

don't let holly wood fool you, if you want to kick in doors and shoot people in the face go Ranger. I've got a buddy who is good friends with a MARSOC guy, they're basically the most under utilized force in all of SOF at the moment and have been not doing much lately. SEALs are slowing down as well, there isn't a ton of combat to go around so they're doing shit like FID. And SF is SF they never stop lol, but ya man Ranger Batt is a force to be reckoned with, they work intimately with SMU's on a regular basis, and not just pulling security
