The US is finally collapsing under losing wars of attrition and the profits of their ruling bankster class, and still they indulge in this ridiculous bravado of their mercenaries.
@trakkaton - Yet another idiot who has zero clue how economics works. Has the EU also engaged in "wars of attrition"? The US is going through a recession, not a depression. The economies of ALL nations go through highs and lows; the fact that America has such an abundance of resources & technology means we'll never fully collapse, though our economic influence may diminish slightly. Regardless, we'll be in the lead well into this century. If you don't like it, you can always commit suicide.
What a pile of shit you are. Unable to read, too dumb to think, and "zero clue how economics works". Your inability to grasp even the fact that the USA are bankrupt disqualifies you. Have fun with your rabid fantasies while your cognitive dissonance still works, you are in for a long fall into the abyss, screaming hysterically.
@ARMA365 Well. That's nice of you and all, but I'll have to just settle for the satisfaction of sharing fine programming with others. I doubt they're doing a 3rd season, but here's hoping.
US$200 (NOK1000) paid for each fish weighing 0,3 kg!
This is what is paid to fishermen in Norway for delivering live Wrasse-fishes: Symphodus melops and beautiful Cockoo (Labrus mixtus)! These fishes eliminates the need for chemicals and antibiotics in salmon farming because they eat sea lice (gyrodactilus salaris) directly from the skin of salmon. Look at this kind of fish in the video:
i love this show and ive been trying some of the stuff they do in the pool. i can do the bobs no problem and i can travel without using my feet and hands but i tried picking my goggles up 10ft down with my teeth and then doing bobs and i couldnt breath. anyone know the technique?
@Izanamias Lung capacity. Go to the pool everyday, and hold your breath a little longer. I did this for high school track, and by senior year I could swim over 60 yards on one breath. I breezed through the swimming portion of Recon Indoc.
@SSgt24thMEU so thats like 55 metres. thats a lot. the most ive done holding my breath is 1 length of the pool underwater which is 25 metres. so i need to be doing 2 lengths. ill work on that. even still. when holding something between my teeth then coming up to breathe... i try breathing through my nouse and inhale water or try breathing through my mouth and its difficult. thanks for the advice.
so how do you rate the toughest school? the one thats the most physically demanding that tries to make you quit or the one thats the easiest to get dropped because you failed a safety test like swcc or score a 27/35 on the marine sniper shooting range?
@MATTWITT1976 I say the most mentally and physically demanding. BUD/S is tough, you have to be incredibly resilient to soak in freezing water, and Recon Indoc. requiresthe same toughness.
@SSgt24thMEU 'freezing' water in america, i know technically it probably is... but compared to the north sea/channel water it's probably luxurious, how lucky i'd be if i could do training in the US rather than portsmouth harbour :L still divers respect all of their own species (Y)
@TheDrummerboi94 California is not on the Atlantic Ocean. Anyone who has seen a map can tell you this. And don't give me an excuse that you're from a different country either, I've met Afghans that could barely speak English that know this.
@SSgt24thMEU whoops my bad, neglected to read the California part, of course i know california isn't on the Atlantic coast, my excuse is i'm blond (Y) and a diver... Nitrogen in an already empty brain.. still i laugh at my own stupidity :L
@mhia4, Oh no I meant "ok" with it cuz you have to be "comfortable" with killing anything in order to prosecute your mission. I'm sorry, engaging a target.
@TheRydaddyops910 try just inhaling, and hold it as long as you can, you should be able to hold it for a longer time eventually.. If you do this often.
@TheRydaddyops910 It's both. Staying under water is very much a mental thing. Even if you practice it is really important just to stay calm and focusing on the moment. I think it gets easier if you try to calm yourself before you dive.
I know that this is 4 months late, but I think it's both. You have to be in good shape so that when you breathe in your lungs will pick up more oxygen. But if you don't have the mentality to fight your urge to breathe and stay calm (When you panic you consume much much more oxygen) you'll fail no matter how good of shape your in.
@brokennailstudios, due to logistics of our current involvement in the middle east, the military is currently re-evaluating their stance on women being combat or front line soldiers. I would like to ask any woman wanting to be a ground-pounder if she would be ok with killing children? Harsh question, but a relevant one in determining a soldiers mindset.
@damones1 You may want to rephrase that because anyone saying that they're ok with killing a child, man or woman, shouldn't be carrying a gun. I get that it may be necessary, but being ok with it???
@papacharlie123, my apologies I should've stated the fact that I have first hand knowledge, and yes I agree with your comment that most of the "know-it-alls" have no experience nor any credibility or were just REMF's.
@papacharlie123, no I'm not. I'm an eight year ex army combat vet who, because of my MOS, was a joint forces taskforce soldier. I had the privilege of working with all branches and I worked closely with SF and Seals as a tactical cultural immersion specialist ( gave crash courses in latin american or romance languages and cultural ques). When you're detcahed to any special ops unit, you are put through acclimitization training. Physical training that ensures you can at least move with them.
Ok for all of you know it alls, all special ops traing overlaps. They are all comfortable in any environment and unless you've gone through it stop trying to state your opinions as facts.
Special forces are better than just the normal army coz they are the select few ELITE that get through. There training is soooo much harder. The army is still extremley tough though!
@kialn I'm not sure, I think its because they don't want women getting killed. I'm sure some women could do this as well as men, women can be as strong, but men just have more muscle.
@MrBboy1234567890 BUDs is much less hardcore than this course. BASIC underwater demolition. Not any seal can do that stuff, only few (as an exemple, sections from DEVGRU)
Wow now that's what I call swimmers ! I went to the pool today and did one lap underwater and did about 2 hours swimming, but that was nothing compared to the drownproofing exercise these guys have to go thru. These guys are real men ! Tomorrow I'm off to the ocean to hit the deep. I love swimming. It's very healthy.
Listen, they all do different types of jobs. So you can't say, for example, that a regular U.S Marine is better than a regular member of the 82nd Airborne, because they do different types of jobs. The US Marine is better than the Airborne soldier on what the Marine is trained for and vice versa.
so i have a question. do these guys get training courses before they even tryout for this. Like if they fail do they have courses where they can go to where they train you physically and mentally to past it
There's plenty of reasons for it too. The first being that men don't like to see women die in combat. Picture your mom being shot and you'll understand. Secondly, a woman in the best shape of her life will never be as physically strong as a man. Fact. Has nothing to do with men being superior, it's just how we're put together. Thirdly, women break easier and get sick easier. You don't want our jobs. Trust me.
So you're telling me since 1 out of 3 makes combat diver, that means 1 out of 3 army sf guys become wannabe navy seals? Basically a combat diver is a Navy SEAL or UDT.
@Bandito729 It's all a government cover-up. Theyre just trying to take the SEALS out of the spotlights after killing Osama and starring in too many video games(US Navy SEALS SOCOM, MEDAL OF HONOR, etc.). They lost favor in the Army after the Contra incident. They're discrediting NSW too much. Then again most of this is written and narrated by civilian who usually dont got their facts right.
@coolguyearz Oh man! Boy, do you have ALL the facts! It's not like these civilian film makers are RIGHT THERE with the military, who is giving them all the information for this! How could I think that they would get their facts right, especially if it's straight from the source (you know, the military?). You have this figured out, man
@9960434 He won Olympic gold in a pool of still water, swimming from one end to another. Not (as in the later phases of this training) getting rocked around in the open ocean and diving to potentially deadly depths. SF also doesn't accept potheads.
@fmcc0904 my friend got such a high asvab score that he failed the drug test and the navy still wanted him so they asked him to enlist when he was sober so he did and now hes a navy seal :) who will smoke a fat one with me whenn he gets back... dont underestimate the potheads son
@rensooooooo I had a overall of 97 and a GT of 125, both of which are near-perfect. Proves nothing. Point was, Phelps got busted with a possession charge and SF does not look kindly on that. So, don't OVER-estimate yourselves with the law-breaking burnout lifestyle. Laughable.
@fmcc0904 He did pot one time don't hold that against him. On top of that many competitive swimmers do open water swimming as well. If you have an Olympic medal in any swimming event I'm sure you have enough endurance, strength, and or ability to feel safe and comfortable enough in the water to complete this course. Maybe not with flying colors, but being a competitive swimmer I know we do exercises resembling some of this stuff daily.
@UlSlUlRlNlAlMlE This entire episode is only the very beginning of the training. They are not going to show the amphibious ops involving explosives, infiltration, and other facets of combat diving, which I guarantee you don't practice on as a competitive swimmer.
@fmcc0904 Well that would be a little extreme if your only a competitive swimmer, I'm not saying we're guaranteed to make the course, I'm saying that us being as familiar with the water as we are, we'd have more with lack of a better word familiarity with the course. I'm sure if there was a competitive swimmer with combat experience or who's a a spec. ops vet they'd have the upper hand. The i initial thing I was saying was that Michael Phelps would do well with certain aspects of the course.
@UlSlUlRlNlAlMlE And the initial point *I* made was that SF is not fond of taking in people with drug offenses, so he wouldn't, since he'd not get into the course. Also that he has no concept of avoiding nitrogen narcosis, deadly pressures, and as they get into the later phases of this training, many other more specialized skill sets that NO ONE is assured to "ace". It's an even playing field at that point. So, sorry, but your and the other fellow's posts are still in error.
@fmcc0904 I didn't know you couldn't have any narc offenses period, I thought you were implying that a guy currently using narcotics wouldn't be allowed in. I'm pretty sure nobody can "ace" any of these tests, not even the best athletes or the most experienced vets, hell I bet even the instructors would have a tough time. Michael Phelps would probably fall short of the more experienced students pretty early in the course. In no way am I implying he'd pass for sure.
@fmcc0904 Like the training instructor from Marine Recon said: "I don't care if you're on a swim team or anything like that, cause the ocean will humble you real fast."
@brokennailstudios Being on a swim team will put you ahead, though, unless you've never had any open water experience your entire life, which for me personally is something unfathomable. Time and again, however, I've witnessed naive people underestimate the ocean and completely ignore the dangers of it, acting as if it IS a pool, when in reality the ocean is the wilderness. You can be in the middle of a city like VA Beach, but the minute you step foot in the ocean you might as well be in Alaska.
@fmcc0904 Ahahaha i dont even need to look back in the comments to find out that 9960434 is talking about saying phelps could do this. I will admit because he is the way he is in the water and trains his ass off and i too am at an international level in competitiveswimming. if phelps were to do this he would have an edge but you are completely right he would still get rocked the shit these guys do is unbelievable my hat goes off to anyone who wants o join this program
Fuck my life, I'm deaf/mute, I can't join the army (already asked the Captain at the recruitment office.) I would love to do Combat Diver course, but sadly it won't ever happen to me. If you're not disabled, the army is a GREAT place to begin your career, but it is definitely not for everyone. :)
@mrlebowski562 that's why they joined the army special forces cause they don't like the water. Truthfully, they're not going to send Army SF into the ocean out of a sub to assualt a target. They're going to send the SEALs. Sending Army guys to learn how to swim is stupid. This is a big waste of tax payer dollars, somebody drop some dimes to the IG.
Pararescue training is certainly extremely difficult, but when people talk about how high their atttrition rate is and how long their training takes, they leave out the fact recruits are air force personnel who often have little experience with physically and mentally demanding high stress training, and little to no infantry or survival training. This is a big reason why their attrition rate is so high and the training so long. Thats not the case with other elite military units.
People seriously watch these videos and then have the nerve to downplay how difficult the training is or actually try to say there is a "better" team out there? They're all impressive.
@codename23ify Training for combat diver is elective (as in you apply for it), but your commander can send you expeditiously, if he/she believes that you will succeed. After all, it's their recommendation on the line.
@codename23ify first you must go through the army special forces assessment and selection process then finish the "Q' course of the army SF. that could take up to 2 yrs then you have to be assigned to a SCUBA team then you get to go to this school. im in the 18x program for the army which you get to try out for the special forces upon completion of BCT, AIT, AIRBORNE school,and Special Operations Preparation Course
@codename23ify get in extremely good shaped be able to do 70-85 pushups in 2 mins 80-100 situps in 2 mins and be able to run 2 miles around 14:30 mins or less join the army via 18x program(special forces) or infantry then pass SFAS and then pass SFQC the join a special forces ODA that is also a scuba ODA then they will send you to this school
@olin10 Where are you getting the 70% fail rate for SEALs because as far as I know special ops training throughout the different branches of the U.S. military all have 80-90% fail rates.
nobody bashes on these guys because of the branch in front of it finally.im tired of hearing "oh the Marines are better" really they aint there is a reason only Americas best is allowed in these programs no run of the mill marine stands a chance in this barely any of the best trained marines pass ranger school. which is why when u hear bout a marine passin it gets so hyped up. Everyone stop bashin these already finely tuned warriors respect them you most likely cant do it
They all carry out very different missions. Recon does exactly what its name suggests. Pararescue rescues downed pilots behind enemy lines. SF divers infiltrate their objective by means of underwater travel. Seals mainly do underwater demolitions that's why their basic training (BUDS) stands for Basic Under water Demolition course. Coast guard patrols our nations seas and keeps them safe. All different jobs, that's why each one exists instead of one unit.
@RtNSlipknot Wrong. SEALs just don't dive underwater and blow shit up anymore. Thats what theyre formerly known as UDT. SEALs do all 3 catergories Sea Air and Land, the only one to do so since Vietnam. Puddle Pirate coast guards dont patrol the seas by themselves, they're usually attached to a Navy Carrier Strike Group or a Anit Narcotics Combined Task Force, and if they're not doing that they're usually giving you a ticket for operating a boat while intoxicated.
Ok... let me get this straight.... They'll do the freakin Navy EOD training. But the SEALs they dont even think about. That's bullshit. SEALs have the most brutual training in the US military (Not that i'm saying that the other branches' training isn't brutal too) but come on. The SEALs are a Lengend! When I saw the pararescue episode for the first time, i was like "Who?". Not to diss any other branches, don't get me wrong, I have high respect for ANYONE in our armed forces. Just opinionating.
Ok, so heres the thing kid. They didn't do the SEALs, because EVERYONE does the SEALs. They wanted to do shows about the other ones. There is nothing that proves SEALs BUD/s is tougher than the other training programs. There is a reason you were like "Who?" when you heard about PJ's. It

Listen, they all do different types of jobs. So you can't say, for example, that a regular U.S Marine is better than a regular member of the 82nd Airborne, because they do different types of jobs. The US Marine is better than the Airborne soldier on what the Marine is trained for and vice versa.

perseveranceisthekey 8 months ago
@perseveranceisthekey No they can't. Nothing Infantry and nothing Special Forces.
There's plenty of reasons for it too. The first being that men don't like to see women die in combat. Picture your mom being shot and you'll understand. Secondly, a woman in the best shape of her life will never be as physically strong as a man. Fact. Has nothing to do with men being superior, it's just how we're put together. Thirdly, women break easier and get sick easier. You don't want our jobs. Trust me.

rensooooooo 9 months ago
@rensooooooo I had a overall of 97 and a GT of 125, both of which are near-perfect. Proves nothing. Point was, Phelps got busted with a possession charge and SF does not look kindly on that. So, don't OVER-estimate yourselves with the law-breaking burnout lifestyle. Laughable.
fmcc0904 9 months ago
@fmcc0904 He did pot one time don't hold that against him. On top of that many competitive swimmers do open water swimming as well. If you have an Olympic medal in any swimming event I'm sure you have enough endurance, strength, and or ability to feel safe and comfortable enough in the water to complete this course. Maybe not with flying colors, but being a competitive swimmer I know we do exercises resembling some of this stuff daily.

UlSlUlRlNlAlMlE 8 months ago
@UlSlUlRlNlAlMlE This entire episode is only the very beginning of the training. They are not going to show the amphibious ops involving explosives, infiltration, and other facets of combat diving, which I guarantee you don't practice on as a competitive swimmer.
fmcc0904 8 months ago
@fmcc0904 Well that would be a little extreme if your only a competitive swimmer, I'm not saying we're guaranteed to make the course, I'm saying that us being as familiar with the water as we are, we'd have more with lack of a better word familiarity with the course. I'm sure if there was a competitive swimmer with combat experience or who's a a spec. ops vet they'd have the upper hand. The i initial thing I was saying was that Michael Phelps would do well with certain aspects of the course.
UlSlUlRlNlAlMlE 8 months ago
@UlSlUlRlNlAlMlE And the initial point *I* made was that SF is not fond of taking in people with drug offenses, so he wouldn't, since he'd not get into the course. Also that he has no concept of avoiding nitrogen narcosis, deadly pressures, and as they get into the later phases of this training, many other more specialized skill sets that NO ONE is assured to "ace". It's an even playing field at that point. So, sorry, but your and the other fellow's posts are still in error.
fmcc0904 8 months ago
@fmcc0904 I didn't know you couldn't have any narc offenses period, I thought you were implying that a guy currently using narcotics wouldn't be allowed in. I'm pretty sure nobody can "ace" any of these tests, not even the best athletes or the most experienced vets, hell I bet even the instructors would have a tough time. Michael Phelps would probably fall short of the more experienced students pretty early in the course. In no way am I implying he'd pass for sure.

@fmcc0904 Like the training instructor from Marine Recon said: "I don't care if you're on a swim team or anything like that, cause the ocean will humble you real fast."
brokennailstudios 7 months ago
@brokennailstudios Being on a swim team will put you ahead, though, unless you've never had any open water experience your entire life, which for me personally is something unfathomable. Time and again, however, I've witnessed naive people underestimate the ocean and completely ignore the dangers of it, acting as if it IS a pool, when in reality the ocean is the wilderness. You can be in the middle of a city like VA Beach, but the minute you step foot in the ocean you might as well be in Alaska.

They're going to send the SEALs. Sending Army guys to learn how to swim is stupid. This is a big waste of tax payer dollars, somebody drop some dimes to the IG.

@fawas
Pararescue training is certainly extremely difficult, but when people talk about how high their atttrition rate is and how long their training takes, they leave out the fact recruits are air force personnel who often have little experience with physically and mentally demanding high stress training, and little to no infantry or survival training. This is a big reason why their attrition rate is so high and the training so long. Thats not the case with other elite military units.

@codename23ify Training for combat diver is elective (as in you apply for it), but your commander can send you expeditiously, if he/she believes that you will succeed. After all, it's their recommendation on the line.

@codename23ify first you must go through the army special forces assessment and selection process then finish the "Q' course of the army SF. that could take up to 2 yrs then you have to be assigned to a SCUBA team then you get to go to this school. im in the 18x program for the army which you get to try out for the special forces upon completion of BCT, AIT, AIRBORNE school,and Special Operations Preparation Course

it seems like marine recon, pararescue, sfdiver, navy seals, us coast guard all do the same job?
why not just have regular forces- spear head units- special forces. job done.
aethefox7 1 year ago
@aethefox7
They all carry out very different missions. Recon does exactly what its name suggests. Pararescue rescues downed pilots behind enemy lines. SF divers infiltrate their objective by means of underwater travel. Seals mainly do underwater demolitions that's why their basic training (BUDS) stands for Basic Under water Demolition course. Coast guard patrols our nations seas and keeps them safe. All different jobs, that's why each one exists instead of one unit.

parkerman16 1 year ago
@RtNSlipknot Wrong. SEALs just don't dive underwater and blow shit up anymore. Thats what theyre formerly known as UDT. SEALs do all 3 catergories Sea Air and Land, the only one to do so since Vietnam. Puddle Pirate coast guards dont patrol the seas by themselves, they're usually attached to a Navy Carrier Strike Group or a Anit Narcotics Combined Task Force, and if they're not doing that they're usually giving you a ticket for operating a boat while intoxicated.

Ok... let me get this straight.... They'll do the freakin Navy EOD training. But the SEALs they dont even think about. That's bullshit. SEALs have the most brutual training in the US military (Not that i'm saying that the other branches' training isn't brutal too) but come on. The SEALs are a Lengend! When I saw the pararescue episode for the first time, i was like "Who?". Not to diss any other branches, don't get me wrong, I have high respect for ANYONE in our armed forces. Just opinionating.
ChrisVogt62 1 year ago
@ChrisVogt62
Ok, so heres the thing kid. They didn't do the SEALs, because EVERYONE does the SEALs. They wanted to do shows about the other ones. There is nothing that proves SEALs BUD/s is tougher than the other training programs. There is a reason you were like "Who?" when you heard about PJ's. It
