Life is a Special Operation
Are You Ready for It?
Failure to prepare is a Preparation to Fail. One of the most universal saying ever.

Even when I was a Cub Scout, be prepared. I took that to heart and try to be more than prepared for anything I’m doin
Military/ former military/ military brats know a lot of truisms which elude most civilians
@@teeprice7499 Really? Wow, that's good to know.
"It sounds stupid but it's true." Couldn't said it better myself!
Well said my friend.
"It sounds stupid but it's true" sounds stupid, but it's true. Especially at Ft Campbell.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.” - sun tsu
Right. "You gonna talk or are you gonna drink?"- Uncle Zeb :0)
Its Sun Tzu and that quote was from Sun Tzu’s Art of War
Can you do a video on humility?
Why it's important, even if you are the alpha male.
When it should be implemented.
How to implement it.
Life is a special operation.
Thank you.
@mxt mxt a special forces officer is taking time out his life, to create detailed videos to help anyone who would care to listen.
Shut your face.
he gave a example . red beard medic . locals were drawn to him . c . o . stepped back and for the best of all humbled himself . replay it again . peace out
@mxt mxt sorry dude, I don't speak internet.
In basic English;
A human being, who you or I don't know, is sharing their own life wisdom with us.

If you don't, watch something else.
mxt mxt I swear, in every argument if someone kills the “I’m a veteran/active duty” card they automatically win said argument
You're providing a superb service for all who want to receive your gift of experience. Excellent video!

I genuinely assumed that you were Going to Tell "Know Your Operational Environment & divorce"
OMG
same here
Can't get divorce if you don't have a gf
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good stuff. There's a story of a Special Operations Officer, being sent to brief the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was under a constant Relax Grooming Standards due to his assignment. He walked into the Pentagon, with "longish" hair, and business suit. The J3 lost his mind (having NO "good" experience with Special Operations), and told him to go BUY a dress uniform and get a haircut. The Officer called back to Bragg to let them know what was going on and that he was going to be spending a good deal of money for a uniform (it could easily cost over $500 to set up a Dress Uniform correctly). They authorized him, he got "squared away" and did the brief. He then flew back home to Bragg where he was non-deployable for 6 months till his hair grew back out. I don't know if that's exactly true, but I could definitely see it happening.
John Gates If any part of this story is true, and if the survival of the United States depends on a military with this mentality, then we’d probably be well advised to start making signs welcoming our New Overlords.
actually, it's a case of someone not knowing their target audience. AND. the officers placing FORM over FUNCTION (it was more important to LOOK the part instead of actually DOING)
I ran across this channel years ago, and even now. So glad I did; its given me inspiration to do better in my civilian life.
Many feel the same, as well...
I think humility is a big part of this as well.
101st Airborne, the Legend, the Spearhead of the Operation Overlord, the D Day.
It is a privilege to learn lifelong skills from an Officer of this Prestigious Unit.
Thank you. God bless you.
"If you fail to plan, you plan to fail".
If you go to a Country, know and respect the culture, the codes, and the social norms.
"If you go to Rome, do what Romans do".
Great and thank you very much.
👍🙏👌💪
You should do an auto-biography type video about (obviously not too giving much information) your time in the military. Would probably be a big hit.
Mi Casida. Lol. “Two hour lunches” I love this. Failure to prepare for lunch is preparing to be starved y’all. Be on your game! Plus or minus 30 seconds
I also remember being so dedicated staying late sitting in front of the computer playing games. I was working hard on my high score
Just smile, nod and play the game. 😉 all smart sof soldiers do. This sets the sof soldier from the rest. We work smarter, not harder but there will always be that guy checking the boxes
This channel is truly something special
You seriously do not know how much your channel is helping me.
Sir, you rock. I show these to my younger family members, who're now at that age where this stuff matters. I can't thank you enough for these videos, so, thank you sir!
...by the way your “Nothing good happens after 10 PM “ video was required watching for my kids, especially my daughters.
as a guy that's an insomniac and a stargazer, lots of great things happen after 10pm...in the sky :P
That was something I always said to my children. I wasn't even in the military either. Had I been drafted I'd have gone, but I wasn't going to join for a war the politicians were ruining. I knew John Vann and understood what was really going on towards the end. I did a series of videos on him.
your daughters like to stay late after 10pm, so you know your operational environment is stay late with your daughters after 10.
Solid advice. Recently applied this in the ME.
Yet another great video by LTC Littlestone, brought to US You Tube viewers, choc full of Information and Intelligence ( I2), needed and necessary to operate in real life, real time, in the real world. Hooah!!🇺🇸🦅🗽⚔️
In my opinion that was one of your most useful videos for the ordinary person in the street who wants to make it in the real World.
as a young CI dude in Korea, I bought all my suits in a Korean shop, I wore the same style/types of suits as my Korean counterparts, it does help.
Great tips that I can pass down to my boys in my youth group at church. Building better men for our future. Thanks for the info and great video!
I just said a prayer for you and your men in training. Bless you for all you do.
This is one of the most useful videos on RUclips. Thank you.
these strategic adjustments to the "battlefield" are integral to success. its important to look at your goal and back-plan each step to get there while remembering there may be a time when deception is necessary to manipulate the pawns to complete one of your objectives.
I sent this to my teenage boys. Valuable information about not being to rigid
one of my favourite videos. I really like applied military knowledge in real life,keep em going !
Thanks sir. This makes logical sense, I didn't mean to sound too intense about hygiene but my generations forgotten nor tried to even learn this. I just want my generation to be proud of their own appearance. But this makes 100% sense. Also I hang on your words like gold and believe others do too.
Keep up the good work.
Don't you ever stop.
"Give people what they want, even if it's a little bit out of your comfort zone, so for future engagements you'll have more power, respect and influence."
Can you do a video on warrant officers in special forces?
Yup good one, being a WO in SF is a huge attraction for getting more pay and benefits than just staying enlisted👍🤙
Make a video on The Unit, Delta force. Anything you know about it, anything you’ve heard from unit guys. About selection, missions, gear, weapons. I’m sure I’m not the only one who wants a video on Delta!!
Sound wisdom. Thanks for the upload. I've forgotten about these things when I transitioned back into civilian life. Never to late to learn or remember. Again.. Thanks.
This video is pure genius. Double thumbs up.
This is what I consider to be "Life Long Learning".
There is always going to be new information that anyone can encounter & learn from.
What a great video, with lots of solid advice. 👍🏻
The information you provide is god sent. I already do most of the things you mention but as any man I have room to adjust and make myself better.
Just found your channel recently and I'm really enjoying your videos. Keep it up!
This is wisdom. Thanks for your service and your sharing.
Can you do a video about SOST
Who are they??
What do they do???
Thanks
Good video. Simply stating for us to stop trying to be a rebel and get with the program
My Dad who was in the 1stSF used to say "a good soldier is never caught short"...
Know your operational environment and wear heels.
@@thefunnybuddy4138 have at it buddy...that's one OP i don't want a part of...
I liked the part about taking space in the team room and making your company commander think you were working. Obviously you were in 3rd group lol!
Excellent advise. I have had many careers. Commercial fisherman, engineering, finally Police. Applies to all.
Great video, always thought about this in a way (definitely not SF) but it's great to hear it come from a professional
I like that this can apply to everyone.
Ufff amazing video! Knowing my operational environment allow me to adapt to any circumstance! THIS IS AMAZING🔥
Great advice for all situations.
I watch all this channel's videos and would like to see a video about the ISA. Our narrator probably knows quite a bit about "The Activity" and would surely put out a great executive summary of The Army of Northern Virginia. Who's with me?
this channel makes me want to be a better human being.
Situational awareness & cultural awareness
Take a shot every time he says "know your operational environmental and..."
I Loved it...I totally understood it. And can relate to the idea....It reinforced what was to me in the back of my mind , an unwritten code. 👍🏻🇺🇸🇮🇱
I've ran 4 miles officially in 22:56. I've ran the same distance in boots jeans and a t-shirt in 26:00 flat. Not for nothing but what times did you and those soldiers run.
Both runs were the same course in Cranford, NJ where the firecracker 4 mile is held.
Amen! Thank you for your service!
Same thing with UFC fighters. You can tell that there are fighters that look-up rule recent changes (like the new “Grounded Fighter” parameters) and use it to their advantage because there are some fighters that steal so vehemently away from the realms of the rules that they don’t even think about them during training and fights.
Everything you said is valid and common sense. I’m glad you have taught this.
This channel is pure gold
Great advice, thank you
This is very wise, thank you
Bill Belichick is a fascinating character study for this. Bill researches each and every referee before each and every game and has actual updated files on the calls that they are most prone to make and the penalties that they call the most. He uses this to his advantage by telling his guys every week, which rules that they are able to mildly break and most likely get away with. Strategy at its finest.
Short,sweet, but hits it ! Right on the spot, !
Priceless.
Good video 👍 I'm going to call this "be adoptable" Amen
Incredible advice.
Topic aside, will you make a video on AFSOC’s new Special Reconnaissance career field, or Army ISA?
Put in the hours!!!!! So true man! Read the lay of the land! Respect the elements!!!!
Very valuable information here, glad I've watched this video.Thanks for the sharing!
These videos are so good, even if it seems like such a simple life skill. Something can always be done better I guess.
Good content. I’m ready.
Something like "Going with the flow catches the most fish" or whatever. Adapting to the environment to maximize the yield.
Just Curious, Is your first name James? There was a Retired Army Captain on the David Webb Show who has a new book out called Stand Down about the Social Experiment the US Military has been involved with the last couple decades. You guys sounded exactly the same.
Great Video I love to watch this video again and again, thank you sir !
I concur, and I like the way you think:) In support of value herein:
Adaptation is an underrated, intrinsically covert tactic. Frequently, having adapted to environment, the wise can (correctly) cause the ENVIRONMENT TO 'ADAPT'...i.e. change it per choice/stealth/force, etc....with more options, hence, ease and odds of success.
I'm fond of the 'irreducible minimum': MAKE WITH THE PROGRAM! Humility required here; if it hurts...GOOD! Spit on your pride, or choke on it.
So that, maybe...just maybe...wisdom makes the program yours some day.
Individuality is for 'outside' the program, where/when earning$ are enjoyed.
BTW, wisdom...where IS that? Looked for it at the U, not on curriculum.
Great life advice no matter where you are or what you do.
Loved this video!!!
Good video. Great advice for life.
What a phenomenal resource you are. KEEP IT UP
Excellent video.
Haha !!! Very true !!!!!!
And really i can say now life is a special operations : all the SOPs and rules of engagement and strategy planing for warfair suitable almost 100% in business and somehow also in personal life !!!!
Great vids ,
Wow! Amazing. I love it. This video change my day, today.
Amazing!!!!! Love it!!!
Another valuable and logically wise advice. Thank you.
So true and great video
Thank you Sir!!
Dude.
Your badass. Everything you said translates to 3rd ID , 24th ID, or whoever.
Great advice!
Thank You
"One fail, we all fail!"
Long! Live! America!

Excellent
Yet another great video, thank you sir.
Change Yourself according to the Situation

Know your operational environment ::::
1. Workplace -- eg . Rules , suit , hairs , late hours if they are ""priorties and norms"" of your workplace .
2. Relationship -- daughter social media create account , not romantic then gift etc .
3. Locaton and cultural nuances ;;; women not respectrd then don't talk etc .
Excellent video. Thank you.
