I had a Special Forces sniper as my hand grenade instructor in basic. We all saw the tabs on him and couldn’t help but ask him questions, even though we were still in Red Phase he was super cool to us.
That shoulda been a red light for me. When I enlisted as a 19D back in 2012, there were 60 some slots open for 19D's at the time. Originally wanted 12B which I did manage to switch over into after I switched to the ANG in my home state but yea, being an Airborne 19D had me doing everything BUT my MOS job.
Nikko, as a retired SF SGM 18D ODA team member, I can honestly say that in Special Forces we are constantly getting Seals that want to come be Special Forces, but you will almost NEVER find an operator that wants to go be a Seal. The reason for this is that once you get to that elite performance status your main goal is to be the best and surround yourself with those who accept nothing but the best.
Hi my uncle was a green beret, William Bryan Woods, medic and sniper and he was killed in 2009. 2nd battalion 20th special forces group, do you happen to know or remember him? he’d be around 45 now
my uncle was a green beret in Vietnam, he told me the time where he was flying 20 30 feet above the tree's casually dropping nades onto the enemy from the little bird
On QRF in Iraq for SF while then rustle up an HVT waiting for 6 hours. Call them up on the radio exact quote "OH shit!! You guys are still there? We left 4 hours ago."
I've watched every reaction video in the past 4day so didn't know Nikko had yt channel its been awhile since I seen his shorts...but shit I haven't laughed so hard in a long time watching Nikko funniest dude I've seen in a long time he so real
Marine is probably watching this like "yeah...I scored too high on the ASVAP to be a green beret...." While Navy is trying to figure out how he can sign up to be a donkey for one "lucky" soldier
It could be said at least that Green Beret was respectful enough to call him by his MOS, he could have said, "Hey regular army FNG", or "Hey regular army Grunt"
Leaving for OSUT in a week and a half and definitely want to pursue Special Forces. I’m looking forward to what I’ll learn and the people I’ll meet but damn to I want that green beret 😭
Just bought new earbuds they must come with the volume at 100% from the factory and the very first video I used them to watch was this one... Neko you blew my fucking ears out my ass !!! U still the homi though👍🏻
I remember doing opportunities against the army Rangers as a marine and getting told we had to chill on our ambushed cause we were being too aggressive. Not my fault the corps breeds monsters
SFAS changes with the seasons. What they want now is different than what they wanted six months ago, and what they wanted six months ago is the same thing they wanted three years ago. Free-fall for all? Free-fall for CIF? Free-fall before Robin Sage? Language before Robin Sage? Language after Robin Sage? ASO Level 3 after Robin Sage? It’s like a dealer in Vegas… shuffle the deck… you never know what hand is going to be dealt.
SF. Their role in FID, and UW is by far the most important role in any war. SF's Direct action is just the icing on the cake. aside from underwater demolition. if the war is 99% on land, they're useless cus every other SOF unit is already doing direct action.
Creating chaos and destruction in small units: Navy SEALS. Training up and turning an entire population against the government (or the rebels depending on whose side we're on): Special Forces
when those sf dudes said "regular army saw gunner do you have any water" would be hilarious to have said my name is ______ say my name and i give you water
Hell ya I always wanted to be a Green/Red beret But fucking asthma is what kept me back from the military. I was born with it so I couldn't go shit sucks man
Unless you are tryna be a nurse or something along those lines, your degree doesn’t matter. Focus on being a good leader, that’s what’s important if you want to be an officer.
The fact that you get your own personal donkey is what’s up
Navy wishes he had a donkey lmao

I’m an old Ranger and this motivated me. You should be a recruiter Nikko.
Hopefully one day this guy can react to British troops- like SAS or paras. My life would be complete
I believe he has
NZ and AUS SAS too!

What is it that former SEALS who turned SF say about why they wanted to make the switch?
Do you know how he got to e9 so fast what are all the jobs he did in order
The reason he didn't respond is because all this is crap

I’m going down the 18x route this February and I’m beyond excited
How much did you train for it?
Dont quit. U got this!
How did it go?
Happy Veterans Day!! Thank you for your service Niko!! And all the rest who see this and have served!
Thank you
@@ronabeatty3685 you're welcome and really thank you
On QRF in Iraq for SF while then rustle up an HVT waiting for 6 hours. Call them up on the radio exact quote "OH shit!! You guys are still there? We left 4 hours ago."
Mr. Ballen said "Special Forces are extremely well trained, I'm not being biased, they have the same style training as Navy SEALs."
My unit works really close with 5th special forces group and they are cool guys like really down to earth, never had one talk down to me
Your stuff is always good, but the $40,000 enlistment bonus part cracked me the hell up!!
Now I can sit back and watch this awesome vid! Happy monday w a good vid to start the day!
Appreciate you Marie!
I’d love to see a similar video on the navy’s SWCC
Yeah. That would be dope if you could break down more specific MOSs. SWCCs would be cool.
I trust the weekend was as safe as it could be. This feels like a long week already. Let's rally!
Yes! 🙏🙌
Still motivates me. Love the regular saw gunner story 🤣
I've watched every reaction video in the past 4day so didn't know Nikko had yt channel its been awhile since I seen his shorts...but shit I haven't laughed so hard in a long time watching Nikko funniest dude I've seen in a long time he so real
recruiter: what do you want to join?
me: delta force
recruiter: we don't have that, I mean.... shhhhh ask us later... at the flag pole, at 1400...
Dad was 18D, so gotta give SF love.
SOCM was intense and a great experience.. loved it!
Love the breakdown Nikko. Do more!
You should definitely break down more mos in the army
Thank you for making this entertaining video.
I’m going to basic very soon and I’ve been obsessed with your videos
Bro I’m glad ur honest and funny about this .
Nostalgia is mainly what I feel, but it really motivated my knees and back to hurt.
green berets and navy seals are both needed and they are both excellent in their own ways
Love these videos. Always great for a laugh
My dad was a green berete he's passed away tour twice in Vietnam anyways thank you all that did or is in service
Nikko! Love you man! I’d love to have you break down Army MP school!
I feel like green beret and nacy seal are secret power rangers 😂 cause 1% pass the training so we really don't what they could have in the future
I liive in Florida- Hurricane Ian hardly affected us only some rain lmao
airborne spec ops team stationed on a submarine is still the best
That intro with the helicopter was so funny
😂😂
7:07 deal breaker right there.
Imagine a sniper was aiming at someone. And another sniper was aiming at that sniper then another,another,another, it would be funny as hell.
That would be 😂
Sniper triangle
The intro was like YEYEYEYEYE
But that sniper with that long ahhhhhh sh** will get exposed
And they all take the shot at the same time 😂 bruh what is you on 😂
The dudes that would get selected would come back and ruck like Superman after 😂😂😂😂😂
If I’m being brutally honest…I wouldn’t make it lol
to be brutally honest, you are an exquisitely damaged mess! 😊
Marine is probably watching this like "yeah...I scored too high on the ASVAP to be a green beret...."
While Navy is trying to figure out how he can sign up to be a donkey for one "lucky" soldier
These chips I'm eating on my couch are good
Assault mission, give me the seals. Infiltration and guerrilla warfare, give me the green beret.
ah hell nah. you sure about that? They're gonna fuck it up and need the Rangers and PJs to save their ass😂
probably… Rangers lead the way!
Your funny as hell keep up with good work 😃
Bro this got me wanting to re-enlist and go to SFAS😂
It could be said at least that Green Beret was respectful enough to call him by his MOS, he could have said, "Hey regular army FNG", or "Hey regular army Grunt"

SEALs and Green Berets have totally different missions. Yet I'd still but the GB above Frog Men anyday.
Breakdown 160th SOAR. The "hold my beer" regiment!"
This videos hit home…
You should do how to get into Marsoc??
Motivated to join it was the free donkey for me 😂
9:20 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you're a riot bro love the content
I used to have a significant relationship with a tanker. Didnt last long
Infantry Officer / mechanics / Food services (Quartermaster).
" All you have to do is walk ... "
marsoc and recon are so chill bro they are the most down to earth people, sucks to hear sf are like that
you should make a green beret loadout in ground branch
“AINT NOBODY WANNA BE THAT SHIT” me as a scout watching this video🥲
Bruh, your editor kills me 🤣🤣😂
They forgot the final requirement. Get chewed out and treated like crap by your command when they find out you have selection orders.
I remember doing opportunities against the army Rangers as a marine and getting told we had to chill on our ambushed cause we were being too aggressive. Not my fault the corps breeds monsters
Only green beret I know is John Wayne.
That was Gary Indiana in the beginning

How about a video about Red Cell 👀👀

Shit bro I ain’t even 18 to join the army but I’m fucking hyped
What about reacting to spec ops outside the US, but with the same energy? 🔥

@@romantic_hippie ahh I did haha
You should definitely do more mos in the army lol from combat to technical and what nit
You should do the same thing for the SEALs
You should do a video on PJs. Pararescue
Man’s is keyed up on this one.
I wanna try to go special forces, but I'm not sure wtf imma do with a chemistry degree in the military

Niko have you played the mw2 campaign yet? I’m only like 6 missions in and it gets me so harddddd
SF: regular army saw gunner do you have any Water ?
me: yeah! but your gonna have to suck it out my life straw ( unzips pants )
SF or Seal? Neither! RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
except the water.
My little brother went through SFAS, passed, and didn’t get selected.
has he ever done a pj video?
Navy Seals, but Ortiz, I am partial to the Special Forces, Airborne, and them all. I have worked with some.❤💋
You need to gurgle a little some some 😆 your voice is going bro
