This might be a stupid question, but do you just get one chance at Green Beret Selection and Qualification, so if you are dropped for medical reasons or other reasons, is that it or can you retry again in a certain amount of time?
@TheAcl2745 no u can go multiple times...not right after another but I think its like 9 months inbetween u can go back, just know that from my buddys here that were in swic and some want to try again
@boypaslot not sure if someone answered your question. you don't have to have a ranger tab (completed ranger school) or be a ranger to go out for SFAS. if you complete selections and it comes time for your final assesment if you have indeed finished that school successfully, it may (or may not) help you get selected. I went in with a former air force special ops captain who had a silver star, he was not slected.
you'd certainly have to be highly motivated to get through this. Of course the military don't have a monopoly on extreme training, Reinhold Messner's solo ascent of Everest without oxygen springs to mind.
@OMGz1122 From what I have seen, read and heard BUDS is more demanding. This is a bit different though. BUDS is more focused on water skills and freezing your ass off in the Pacific Ocean.
It's confusing that they say they're looking for those that have the willpower to push themselves to the end, yet you see people break down to the point where they can't even comprehend what's going on. The "superiors' (I don't what they're called , sorry) say that there's no specific physical type for the qualifications (said on the second video). So what exactly are they expecting from you? What are they looking for in the qualifications?
@matman727 they're looking for soldiers who are both physically and mentally tougher than the rest..no particular physical type meant you can be scrawny and ripped instead of bulky big..when it came down to it..those who couldnt deal physically are cut, as well as the ones that cant deal mentally..yea we saw people break down..and they were cut lol...u gotta remember these are only candidates meaning they are not Green Berets yet..
at about 8 30 minutwes in to this video with this downed pilot began.. me and a group of cadets(since im in it) did what i guess yuo could call a pratice of it he had to find are pilot in the bush make a sling or brace for what evers hurt and im not sure if they provided stretchers or not it was a lil back but we had to carry that person out(full grown adult) but only out of the bush then we back at camp
I can't sleep for more than 4 hours. 2 hours is too long for me. Then again, I have insomnia. At times, I can only sleep for 30mins to 1 hour. Anyone else have this problem?
@MrBoopan They're blurring out their faces because that canidate has since become a member of the special forces and in some cases their identity has to remain a secret
@MrBoopan You know, I wondered that too. But then I noticed that most shows blur out brand names and such. I suppose he was wearing something with a company's name on it, and they blurred it. Don't see why...free advertising!
If discovery shows an advertisement it wasn't supposed to, then it could be liable for a lawsuit from whatever company. I don't think that's the case here though because no military issued gear has company big company names or trademarks on them. The only thing I can think of is this was recorded so long ago that guy might have been operational, and deployed while it was premiering.
@SillieWous Yes, but they only started blurring things like that in the past few years, and they never do it on anything except documentaries and reality shows.
@fmcc0904 networks also need to get permission from brand companies in order to show their product on T.V. There's property and copyright infringement issues without that permission. So Discovery has to censor it. Copyright has become a major issue now. I'm majoring Multimedia in college.
@cellardoor199991 Thank you, but common sense told me that much already. It just so happens that, as I said, most "prepared" programming (comedies, dramas, etc) either do get permission to show brand names/logos or just make up fictional ones that slightly resemble real products.
Team #1 are idiots, how lower you put the weight of the "downed" pilot...how heavier it is. If they wouldve thought for a moment, its obvious the best way to carry it would be on shoulder height/level.
@belzu1 Officers are expected to keep pace with the sort of schedule their units may have in combat. Training is training, after all. Practice. In the real "game", sleep is a precious, rare commodity, and not just for SF.
@belzu1 Actually I think the narrator said, "a few hours" of sleep per night. It's right at 9:07. Click back to 9:03 and you should hear it almost immediately.
@belzu1 theres a reason that only 50% make it, even with 4 hours of sleep. If u think u can do it, then go ahead, if not then just appreciate the effort. No need to brag.
@belzu1 I don't think you understand this isn't SF training. This is special forces selection course to earn the right to train. So it isn't as rough as it will be when they start their actual training.
@belzu1 I guess that makes you better than SF candidates. In reality, 4 hours is the exception, and is a reward for doing what you need to do. If you fail to complete the mission on time you get no hours of sleep. Also the level of work required here is much higher than the daily routine of OCS. Not to mention the fact that this is just to weed out the week. Over the next 2 years of their lives there will be many many opportunities to fail.
@belzu1 you also are some of the dumbest people to get into the army so i dont want to hear where supposed to look up to guys i cant tel yo uthe number of times ive had to drag a damn Lt through shit on the other hand there are some of you that kick ass and are great leaders but dont hink your better then us enlisted guys last time i checked i dont have a cosey air conditioned office ;)
@belzu1 dutch commando's no sleep 300 miles speed mars with ful gear in an 120 l bag... at day you observe @ night you run thats some good old torture:P you did this training also fromt the clip?:O
@belzu1 Guy, OCS vs SF??? Don't compare the two. You and I both know there's no comparison. And I speak from experience. OCS was kid's play compare to this.
@belzu1 Guy, OCS vs SF??? Don't compare the two. You and I both know there's no comparison. And I speak from experience. OCS was kid's play compared to this.
@belzu1 I heard that surviving the cut gives false info on purpose to not give away secrets on how difficult the course really is. A future candidate could watch this and know what to expect if they gave all real information. SF usually recieve 2-4 hours sleep a day for 2 weeks straight. These courses are actually a lot more difficult than this show makes them seem.... not that they dont seem difficult already. For example. Ive heard the log is actually 1500lb.
@wygram it wasnt classified for the audience, but for the soldiers. It keeps them from knowing the time that way will challenge them to finish as quick as possible. If you know the time you have and you are not even close to it, you will quit.
if you were actually in hell you'd wish you were doing this instead
