    These are very true words. I had a kid in bootcamp with me who was 5'6 110 pounds. He was the smallest and weakest in our platoon but he had the most heart and never gave up and he's a marine now. It really is all about the mindset you have.

  • @geronimodings
    @geronimodings 11 лет назад +6

    I think the best advice is to help your buddies with all you have and nothing less. That's what I took from my military service. I wasn't in the US armed forces and my service wasn't voluntary so I don't quite get the American mindset when it comes to military service. perhaps due to a lack of military tradition in my country.
    But I think the advice holds up anywhere.

    This is good advice to give to military hopefuls looking to join conventional units. As for special operations, the mindset is a little more intense I believe. I was talking to an ODA guy (special forces, for those who don't know the term) when I was in the Army and he said "If you want to join SF and have a doubt even once that you might not make it, don't even apply, because you will fail".

  • @raidkoast
    @raidkoast 10 лет назад +4

    You can do anything and all that, yeah.. But there are certain things that stops even the monsters of soldiers.
    Like when you have to drop out because your knee is cut in half in an accident, then it pretty much fall apart inside while you're out on training.
    So fun. If i pressure my knee the same way i did in the army now, it's gonna break.
    Worst part is that i was only in a boot camp that prepares you for the military. So it was like a training company that prepares you for the real boot camp. So that the actual recruitment process is just a walk in the same park you passed through earlier.
    Then i was in an accident and a big piece of glass chopped me in the knee. But I'm gonna try joining the Home guard, which never does any pressing and dangerous stuff.

    Agreed. A lot of it IS in your mind. I went to Jump School, and on the 2nd day they administered a PT test. Noone was allowed to wear watches. Two mile run on a 1 mile looped track, and instructors were calling off times as you crossed your first mile. I was expecting to hear about 6 1/2 minutes, but they were calling out 9:15, 16, 17, etc. as I crossed. I thought to myself "SHIT! wtf is going on?! I'm gonna fail!", so I POURED it on for the 2nd mile.
