Jay! On my life when I get my beret I’m buying you a drink and telling you thank you I watch ALL THESE VIDEOS you a real one
I appreciate that
@@GreenBeretChronicles
TCAV TV is he legit?
Not only these were tips on being SF but on being a better person
This is a guide for daily life
You are 190% correct
Bro....
🤦♂️ obviously do you think you become a worse person for.becoming SF?
@@ImaSMACKHEAD982 if were gonna be callling each other idiots I would like for you to know that the title of the video says "10 signs you'll never be special forces" implying Special Operations along with him talking about what not to do in special operations so no its not obvious to some viewers that what hes talking about doesnt just apply to Special Operations but please cry some more I'll bring a second Jar
The main way to pass training is the mindset. Example: The Department of the Navy released a pre-BUD/S ( SEAL training )training program, which allowed them to be more fit. But the only problem was that the SAME amount of people were quitting compared to when they did not have pre-BUDS/S, but the only difference was they were quitting more fit. So 90% is mental and not physical. A little nugget of advice to the the next generation!
I agree
And did you pass it?
I never passed SF selection in Australia but the fear thing was real. But I’d say don’t let a fear of something stop you from attempting anything. I’d rather try and fail that regret not trying.
It was what I really wanted to do since forever. I am afraid of heights and PTS (our airborne school) was next level for me and the second scariest thing I’ve experienced, at the time it was the worst, but I pushed through it showed me that you can be scared and still work through situations which helped me later. In the end I spent most of my later career in support of SF and still jumping until a jump injury meant no more and was a career ender.
Selection in AUS is no joke. I know a blokethat got through Happy Wanderer and was still told he's not suitable
@@MrClone655 in the limited experience I had with SASR selections and Reo training you’d have a lot who’d physically pass the course but are non selects because of performance in future courses it was fairly high for a while that people had the physical ability for selection course but lacked the ability to continue further. Almost everyone I met who failed said they fail land nav. I lacked service maturity. I’ll admit that. Was told to come back next time. Unfortunately a parachuting accident ended my chances of going further.
There was one time after a selection course (the one they done the documentary Search for Warriors) they were boarding a C130 after for travel to start the next phase of training. On the 10% DG check the air movements staff found DG in a pack. The person who’s forgot it was fuming and said he just forgot so not to punish everyone with a 100% check. That didn’t fly. So that resulted in a full 100% inspection. The Warrant Officer asked who had the DG as he was ready to pull them there and then and send them back to their parent unit. Some view that as a minor transgression but that attention to detail means a lot. That DS was not allowed on the flight and he was sent back to the squadron. Was told of he can’t do the right thing why should he select others.
Respect
@@bornepatrol 100% agree, you need to be somewhat grounded as an operator. Old matey I mentioned was fit as fuck, but expected everyone else to be as high performing physically as he was. Gist I got is that the instructors chewed on and saw it as a personality issue.
One of my boxing instructors from yonks ago was 3RAR back when they were still para, had to get med discharged from an injury too. That stuff is rough man, it's a shame it affected you too.
Getting kicked off REO would have been a bummer for this bloke lol, really can't be making minor mistakes on such a serious course where attention to detail is everything. I'm assuming this was pretty early in the REO cycle?
@@MrClone655 yeah some of them that I met at the regiment over my career were not what you’d expect physically and others were studs. From my first lot of time working with them in the late 99’s until 2013 there was a huge variety of guys making it. The commandos were pretty staple in my eyes although I only had experience with them from 2006-2010.
Mad respect for the guys at 3 jumping more than other units and it takes its toll. I mean it’s nothing compared to those in the US but it takes its toll for sure. I can’t get over how much they jump in the US, but they have a bigger budget. My wife’s uncle was the welfare officer at 3RAR when they lost their wings and moved up to Townsville. So hard for them moving and losing jump status affected a lot mentally and personally he said, plus they always seem to get shafted with extra duties.
I've got four - I'm fat, lazy, have a bad attitude, and I'm a coward. That's why I sit on my arse doing a desk job and thank God there are people like you to defend my liberty to do so. I thank you sincerely and wholeheartedly. We all do our bit though, so next time you go to the grocery store, think of me and the little role I play in ensuring that the shelves are full. Good video though, thanks again. :-)
Don't be proud of that bro. Love the honesty though. Respect.
I’m the same too man. except I’m skinny which is also bad
LOL
So my dad was in desert storm, the invasion of Panama, and so many other operations when he was in the 160th SOAR and when we go to shoot some skeet he always says drink water. He says this cause when he was on deployment he drank 3 gallons of water A DAY cause it is like lubricant for your joints and helps your eyes see better. When I tried drinking a gallon of water in 6 hours not only was I feeling good but I was also seeing the target so much better and was very energetic. This shows me that I need to listen to my dad to be in special forces.
He's correct, 6 guns don't miss & NightStalkers Don't Quit🗣
Man, the shadows make the sunlight brighter. Can't wait to earn my place in SF. You are an inspiration to me every time I watch your channel. Thank you
Let’s get it
Thank you. This ain’t just for SF. This is legit life advice. 💯
You are so welcome
I'm not in the military yet I'm a Jr in high school. And I'm applying some of your tips to my wrestling career. I injured both my knees before finals and I preformed poorly. I hated myself for using my knees as an excuse as to why I did bad. Now preparing for senior year I know I'm going to do so much better because of how hard I am pushing myself at all my training right now.
We’ve all been there. Good thing is you identified it, and now you’re bouncing back.
don't trade your physical health for high school sports man
@@thac0twenty377 fr a lot of guys peak in highschool cus of shit like that lol
@user-zn1uq2iz8f yeah betweenrhe joikrs damage, concussions, weight sucking. it takes a toll
Yeah i use these tips when making toast in the morning 🤷♂️
I was Infantry in the Army. Got my wings , CIB and EIB, but I felt I should have done more. Your channel is awesome brother.
Thank you man, thanks for sharing
Ditto. I don't have my wings, though. I served 3 combat tours. I was getting ready to go the ODA route and lost my identical twin brother to injuries sustained in Afghanistan. It knocked the wind out of me and like a bitch I threw in the towel. I regret it everyday since.
@@User-qo5pw losing a brother is not something to consider yourself weaker for amigo. Thats a traumatic experience. Please don’t hate yourself 🙏🏽
You did your duty and served your brothers and your country well. For that, be proud of what you have accomplished yourself. Remember without the infantry there will be no army. Without you there will be no army. It is the grunt that win wars. Long live the infantry and thank you for your service
@@User-qo5pw you did a ton so so much more than 80% of the force. Life is bitch you did well. If you not aged out go back. If you are help others be like you.
Agree on all points - I was an 18B in 3rd Grp; my dad was also MACVSOG, so I had a great family tradition to achieve.
God bless, DOL brother.
Well said!
@@jt.8144 good morning. I personally know some of Jocko’s friends - but not the man himself. Very cool that he is collecting those stories, definitely takes we want to preserve. As far as the old man going on, gonna take a pass. Not his style #QuietPtofessional.
All the best, god bless.

Appreciate it man
I have a question, what does “SF guys” mean?
@@Lily_1Xspecial forces
In my younger years, i wanted to go SF. I had the selection packet filled out and talked to the SF recruiter. My wife wasn't on board so I didn't. As much as I wanted to, I'm glad I didn't. You're right, it's a mental distraction from the mission. Out of my 3 combat tours, 1 was plagued by divorce and for a bit I was heavily monitored and it affected my unit. Gotta have your head in the game!
I wanted to go SF too. Also didn’t go through with it because of my wife and my kids. Im already gone a lot as is. Glad to see other people have to deal with similar things in the military.
🙏💪
Thank you for those great tips. Ran into medical problems, and I have no family support but I'm going to keep pushing through.
1999 we didn’t have videos like this to get information. Great video, keep it up! You’re doing a great thing putting videos out like this.
Great advice. psychological strength and perseverance in harsh uncomfortable situations and environments with a never quit mentality
Thank You. As a former SF Officer - Commissioned in 1985, 2 years before the tab, and long before the '18' series.. I was SMP ROTC to 19th SFG and served as an Officer in 19th & 20th Groups. Different world back then, and we never said "Regiment' as you did, but Group. Great points - Truth. GOD Bless EVERYONE who serves, served, and their families & loved ones. ~ Be Safe out there. ~ Peace & Health to Us All. {btw Selection is very different than is was "back then"}. ALSO - Stay Sharp & Focused, crazy days Brother. DOL!
Love the channel and the REAL truth! 🙌🏽
Thank you for your service
Great reminder to keep my attitude in check thank you 👍
Always!
Awesome show with Nate! Looking forward to checking out all this content✊
Thank you for this video, it highlights my weaknesses so i can work on them and better myself before i join SF. Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱💪🏼
Anytime brother. Whatever I can do to help.
Great points Jay!
I love this video. I'm going to remind myself of these points every so often as a checkpoint. Appreciate the work you do on this channel, keep it up 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video
I'm not in the military but I'm a job corp student who wishes to be a GB and, I wanna let you I've been watching your content and FNG Academy's content for a while now. To be honest its been motivating me to not give up dispite what I've been through and my current situation. I went from being a highschool dropout who's damn near facing a felony charge to becoming a job corps student who is currently waiting for a move in date. Most of it came from my drive to not give up, and i want to thank you for that.
Hell yeah man, I’m so happy to hear that this helping you…
@@GreenBeretChronicles you're welcome a recruiter asked me how bad do I want this so I told him I'm willing to pick up shit from someone else's boot I wanted to say that but I said something else
@@draysky37 haha I love it
If this story and background is true, you are the type that will be carrying your load, and others through the course. You'll go far if you stay hard and keep your mindset like this. Never Quit, no matter what anyone tells you. The harsh language is just that, talk. It's not At you, they're just slinging bullshit to the group. It's never personal.
Very helpful. I'm going all the way.
Needed to hear this, my dad is a former navy eod tech and has always wanted to me go another direction than the military, gotta make my own choices
Well said brother
Got to see what you shouldn’t be to know what you should be sometimes. Great video man, thumbs up.
Very true!
Thanks for your content, mate. Reaffirmation of the right path. All the best.
Great video, great channel, thank you for sharing your knowledge, God Bless
This video is actually helpful thanks!
Glad it helped!
Great point and advice.
Anytime
Thank you ! you did truly made me realize some stuff, I'll work on myself from now
Im a sub from Canadian prepper I've subscribed and loved the conversation you guys had it was great. I appreciate the information you are sharing and im definitely looking to learn from your channel 👌
Excellent video 👍🏽. You probably broke some hearts with this one but people need to hear the hard truth. Most people can’t take constructive criticism but most times that’s where growth takes place. Keep up the great work 👍🏽🇺🇸🦅!
Thanks man, I’m just preparing them for SF. This is nothing compared to what they will face in the regiment
Well said! These are very sound words for all of life, not just for SF. Good wisdom to help the next generation take their places. Keep it up the great work!
Absolutely!
Agree completely. These are great life lessons for everyone.
Great stuff. From Ireland ☘️
I agreed with all you said and I need to work on listening to my mom and a lot of those things you said I really understood
Great advice man, I really want to push myself in this career. There’s a lot of guys who’ve inspired me to consider this route, because of that I want to give my 100%🤙🏻
Hell yeah
All the best!
Thank you man! This video will help a lot!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this!
My pleasure!
I've never seen any of your videos, but I have that most respect for you after watching this one. I am not military, and I never have been (I have Miltiple Sclerosis). Both my grandfathers were in World War II. I live my life by code, and I call it extreme ownership. You own everything, you own your guilt, you own your flaws, mistakes and you own your weaknesses. Most importantly, you own your triumphs. You did that. No one did it for you. If you're not true to yourself, don't waste other peoples time. Stay safe out there and thank you very much for your service🇺🇸
Thanks
Wish you made these videos when I was a young dude. Super insightful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bro, this message will change people for the better good.
Thank you sir
Good stuff
Excellent advice
Glad it was helpful!
Wow that was cold & motivational at the same time. Thank you sir for your precious advice....
Always welcome
Hi! Nate sent me. Enjoyed the show!
Damn this all the quality, respect your video
My
I'm joining the Army soon, I'm going straight to Ranger training after Infantry training, thanks for the helpful video and wish me luck- I'm out to make my family and my country proud.
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Great video dude, I was thinking of becoming a Combat Controller when I get out of high school.
You should!
I will join SF after I get my major but a LOT of the things you described *not* to do are exactly what not to do in University or anywhere!
This is just all-around life information, my friend. Thank you 💪
I really appreciate this video and its really opening my eyes on what I need to do in life and what type of person I am. Thank you and I just became one of your new subscribers. And its always nice seeing a black SF guy. I use to think that that's what I wanted but now I am not so sure because I don't want to put my body through so much pain and exertion. But I do and will always have the upmost respect for SF, Seals, PJ's, Raiders, and all the other Special Operations Units in the US military and our allies across the globe.
Thanks for this bro. I don’t want to go GB, but been wanting to go Army Rangers. I have a GB buddy and everything you said he told me. Thanks bro, i also subscribed to you!
Welcome
To the channel
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks for this video man I’m going to boot camp in 2 months for security forces my goal is to go PJ one day just another ounce of motivation to keep grinding
"Change what you need to change and GET TO SELECTION!" Appreciate your wisdom.
For about a year or two now, ive been looking to join the Australian Special Forces, and have been training and pushing myself, despite having a few years until I can even apply for the military, i want to make sure i can do everything in my power to try ny best! This video really helps! Thank you.
This a great video and everything you said is so true. I’m an airman and want to become a pj or a sr. But if that don’t workout I’ll join into the army for sf. The special operations community is something I want to be in. Thanks for this video
Love these videos. These don't just apply to SF but how successful you are in life itself. Whatever you do, be determined, have confidence and go for it. People ask me how did you do that? I tell them you have to want it. If you don't have it, it's because you didn't want it bad enough.
Most of this is good advice for life in general. Especially #10.
Amen
yo thanks for the truth.
Soooooo true when he said if you hate them because a lot of these guys are the unmotivated ones too! I appreciate what SF guys do ! 💪🏽
You know the best heart to hearts I have ever had where from Green Berets…You want a solid friend, someone that’s dependable, and will give it to you straight that’s a Green Beret. I want to say that the mental is a must, meaning you have to be inherently motivated, motivated to learn, motivated to take action, and motivated to continue forward. Being a person that needs a push won’t get you far you have to be willing find the punch within yourself. If you don’t understand what I am saying, do you workout four times per week without fail, do you move through difficult challenges without quitting, do you seek out knowledge (skills, courses, and training), do you not feel discouraged by the weather/by trivial things/by being tired etc, and do you seek out challenges. Be honest.
I wish I could go back to time. I did not go SF because I had a family business. I love watching videos about how hard your lives are or how you endure or fail. It feels real to my untrained eyes. I wish you all the best out there males and females.
Jay, you hit the nail on the head with what you said about becoming a GB. One thing I had to do was put all emotional attachments aside and focus on me and the over all goal of what i was trying to achieve for myself and my family. All the nagging and complain and all the ones that doubted me coming out of the infantry, not only did i prove them wrong but proved to myself I had what it takes to become a GB. I used all of the negativity as motivation because in my mind (speaking for myself) if you don't have the heart and drive to deal with the pain because you will get injured and if you can't push pass that pain and continue being a GB isn't for you. Not saying push yourself to wear you a permanently injured, but there are times you going to have to ignore your body and mental toughness takes over. My two cents!! D.O.L
Former nswdg operator here, great knowledge bud. You’ve said words that Ive heard come out of my teammates mouths all the time. All my teammates I’ve ever had I’ve never had a argument with one of them ever, we don’t argue we talk and we shed light. I’ve never heard a guy say you’re wrong, I’ve also never heard one say you’re correct but it’s a click that only we understand in a situation. You can’t do this job if you don’t want to fail, you can’t do it if you don’t want to be afraid, you put your life forward and you expect nothing else but to be met by death.
Any advice im going to probably join the navy in too years from now get a buds contract I get the physical fitness part I want to learn understand the mental part how is it that you improve it by doing workouts that suck and you just keep pushing through doing things you dont want to do but do them anyways?
You really like replying to comments.
Just answering the people
I see the swcs patch in the back. It looks real good on my pinks n greens. What they need when they need it
You are 100% spot on! Thank you very much for spending your time teaching the younger generation the TRUTH in what it takes to earn the GB and live the SF life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was a medic (91W) Airborne, never had the intrest in SF but hey good vibes to ya!
Im I’m only 13 but this video was informative. When I was younger, I thought that the training would be scary. But remember this my brothers; you train hard in training so you don't die miserably. good luck to yall and thanks for your service.
This was an amazing tips to be honest with you it's the attitued only i will do this. My father was a Marine Though he was not American.
But i really do appreciate for the informtive video. Oneday i will become an SF guy.
Yes sir, glad I can help.
Check, check, and ✅️
Awesome
I’m glad none of these matched with me🙏🏼
Love these videos! Great job and you are correct
Glad you like them!
I'm not planning to join the military soon (if ever) but this is gold.
I've always wondered what SF-Units are like.
(from what i've known of interviews, they are usually quite bright, well behaved and self-controlled.)
It is just fascinating to get a picture of how SF-Units think.
I agree with 5 and 6.
Number 3 applies to anyone in a job that can send you anywhere at anytime without notice. They have to understand, you may go to work in the morning, not be able to call home and find out you are in a different country by the time they expected you to return.
In general, all of them apply to any career you choose.
Guess it’s good my family’s tradition is being a Green Beret, although I’m looking to go into 75th for my 2nd contract, I think eventually I’ll be taking my long walk hopefully I’ll end up at my fathers old group at Bragg go be a Desert 🐀.Great video lots of reflecting is needed to be a successful operator, not just an operator.
Excellent advice for young guns
Hey could you do a video on tips to help you on bootcamp?
With enough hardwork and determination anyone can achieve anything.
You’re right
I'm not gonna lie I hate the field and rucking, thank you for giving out these tips
Anytime
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
im like in a half weird place like i have a passion to join the military(this is my first vid i have seen of this guy) but like i also i the passion of doing my trade that im trying to get into and im like at a stand off so like if this doesnt workout or if that doesnt go to plan imma have to do this or that... but like for real if i decide to do the military i know damn well that imma preform at my best and like what he said, learn more things and get better and the reason is, is bc i have the passion to do it im just at a standoff with my other passion.
I dislocated my shoulder 3 years ago as a swimmer, I thought it was the end of my competitive run at swimming, on the third time I dislocated before my surgery to repair my ligament, my mother told me to put it back in myself, that day I learned that pain does not matter, don't give it a voice. I got back into swimming, first I kicked then I swam, I was able to make state cuts and get a 26 second 50 freestyle. 2 years later I cut down to a 23.76 50 freestyle and am still improving, I plan on trying to get to regionals. I learned to push myself beyond limits, work hard for what I want, and not feel pain when going through it. I want to be SF, and I know I have to work hard for it, but don't listen to the people who tell you you won't make it, or the people who don't make it.
@ambii vert Same I was snowboarding lol
@ambii vert Definately.
SCY, SCM or LCM?
@@pumitriii6160 LCM, SCY and LCM, I swim club so I see a little bit of it all, mainly SCM because of states.
@@noiamgoodlol8547 o sorry, I was mainly wondering for the 23.76 50 free time
As someone who has no idea why this video got suggested to me… I think these points apply to more than SF. Fixing these problems usually means you have an excellent foundation for pretty much anything a person would want to achieve in life.
Good video👍
Glad it helped
Well, I wasnt any of these categories. Sounds like I should do it. Just gotta pass that asvab and get the score I need. *strong arm*
wanted to go recon in the marines. went infantry and that was enough for me. back and knees hurt
Thanks for this channel, I needed to hear from an actual GB. Trying to decide between SF and regiment but you never hear GBs speak! Do you guys still do DA, or is it honestly not as intense as regiment?
DA still exist, but we are not as heavy as back in Iraq and Afghanistan days. No one is right mow
Number 3 is something that might be my biggest obstacle. I need to remember that I need to make my own decisions, but at the same time I need to be completely transparent with my wife. No deception, no omission, no room for misunderstanding, while I communicate with her.
You’ve got this
Man just the fact that you want to improve your communication and transparency with your wife shows that you really care about your marriage, a lot of men don’t even think about stuff like that
Retired Army officer. Overall good points for any soldier. Not everyone is good enough to be SF...but everyone can be all they can be. Thanks for what you do!
Wasn’t a Green Beret, but I was a SEAL….. the host did a great job explaining why guys don’t make it in SOF, nailed it!
