@@schmill2444 I didn't make the IFT in time for my preferred ship date so I ended up choosing aircraft maintenance. It is honestly probably better suited to me though
See, I’m great at running. I can easily run a 9:00 mile and a half. Maybe even less. And push ups and pull ups are a cake walk. BUT it’s the swims that I am not so confident in (I’m black) Really love the idea of going SR. I like the way the AF provides developers to guide you. I’m torn between SR or Army 18E
I’d be curious how SR plays a role in Hard Target Defeat. It’s cool to see USASOC shift focus back to hard peer targets and get out of the counter terror whack a mole game.
I'm 28 years old, am I too old to be considered? looking for a change in my life and have been really digesting the Air Force Special Warfare content trying to make a decision to jump in or not. thank you and love the videos
For the Marines, I don’t believe that is true? Correct me if I’m wrong but Marines are the only ones that do not have to attend any other military basic training.
30 years, old, looking to change my life and go spec warfare, still in good shape, am I too old for trying..do you or have y’all had any guys in their mid 30s get selected
could yall speak to what differences if any there would be for prior service going into the pipeline, just wondering what I'd be looking at trying to switch over as an E-5
I wish I had joined right out of high school in 2005. I was a solid 5 minute miler and despite being 6’3” and 180-190 in high school, I was able to dead lift 300 in 8th grade with very little strength training. Didn’t really keep up with much strength training in high school but I know I got stronger by my senior year. I struggled to bench 150 in 8th grade but was able to do 190-200 my senior year.
@@OnesReady Does SR being hot right now reduce the chances of someone joining in that career field in the future if that position is potentially over-maned? It's the one I am training for
Hey I I noticed you mention surgery being a possible issue to hold a prospect back, can you specify on those requirements? As well the eyesight requirements if possible. 8:48
It’s a question the cadre ask the students in the training pipelines. Ones Ready is called out, the students respond with the number of the repetition they’re on, then the cadre yell GO.
When you’re in pre-dive, you typically count off in groups for iterations of training. 1’s, 2’s, 3’s, 4’s etc etc. the instructors will yell “Ones Ready!”, and the students will sound off with their repetition number (example, the students would say, “Three, Sergeant!” If it was their third rep). And there you have it!
Think more scout sniper who gathers info about the enemy and the area (terrain, weather etc), who plans routes, surveys potential landing zones, and flys drones. So basically. Sneaky Sniper who has a bunch of other technical capabilities (also includes combat diving and advanced sky diving capabilities)
@@OnesReady Please, appreciate your guys' work and service. I'll go back and look, was looking for a breakdown of how long after basic do you get to go home, when are you and your family allowed to move-in together, how often you will see family, can they come with us to certain schools, stuff like that. Also, if possible, deployment schedule (3mo. 6mo.) / day in the life in hostile & non-hostile environments. And day in the life on base, what exactly will we be doing? Going home every day? Sorry I'm new to everything.
@@KazmCreations for an SR individual I know. In his 11th year of SR this was what it was like in the span of a year. Away from home for 2 months straight. And at least 10 times he was away from home for 4-12 days. This happens each month where he has to pick up and go (meaning little is known in the days before he leaves, sometimes it's sudden, sometimes there is some indication they may be leaving, it really varies) One month he was able to stay home for 27 days straight. That was unusual. We never know where he is gone to, we only know he is "gone" with no idea of how long. There was one time we did know where and when because it was a big multi unit exercise. I mean it was one of those publicly known and even in the military newspaper type thing. Day to day, he works about 12-14 hours, but some of that includes his daily fitness workouts. Sounds grueling sometimes but it's his life, his profession, he lives and breathes it and LOVES it.
Great episode so far I’m army medic about 18 months out from my ets date I’m looking to make to transition to afsoc hopefully SR but I’ll be happy to be in the community because I know it’s a little harder for prior service to get the afsc of choice, comfortable with my ift even on a bad day but always improving yalls videos have been very helpful in terms of getting the information gonna start reaching out to a recruiter very soon, Also when are y’all gonna drop the kev fishchetto episode
@@NRVE8 for me personally I think the mission set of green berets is cool but not for me personally and I’m familiar with all the SOF units in the army worked with pretty much all of em down range besides any SMU I worked with green berets doing support for them and worked with batt boys but personally same thing I hear them all say is “afsoc has all the toys” basically the funding is better in terms of the equipment and vehicles they have available and they’re able to train more often like jumps and other stuff that’s more expensive for other sof units, but my main reason for getting out and wanting to do afsoc is you get MFF and Combat dive in the pipeline guaranteed where as in the army green berets have to be on certain teams to get the opportunity for those schools and batt boys can’t get those school unless they’re on the ranger smu, and the reason I don’t go for any Smu’s is because I went to a briefing recently for cag and I’m meet most of the qualifications besides the time down range requirements so if I wanted to be able to apply to cag to take the long walk I would probably have to do another contract first to maybe get another deployment because there’s nothing really going on now in terms of units getting deployed so that’s why I’m pretty comfortable with my decision to transition into the airforce and do A&S for afsoc
@AKiddTracks I'm not too interested in being a green beret, I met some really cool ones on deployment. But my end goal is more SPECWAR. I like how the air force runs things vs the army.
I was under the impression that Air Guard enlistees where guaranteed their career of choice, if they qualify. Oregon has all 4 careers. Kentucky has PJ/CCT/SR. Other states (ie. Indiana) have TACP. If you fail TACP in Indiana you are assigned another career Indiana Air Guard has. Is this correct?
That is what the recruiter told me. Basic, then SW prep, then the Schoolhouse. If you join the Guard as a TACP you are guaranteed a spot. If you go active, it's up to them to assign you a career.
What are you talking about. What’s a ‘mission set’, how long is appropriate to get one? Who gives them out? Do you have to apply? How do you know SR doesn’t have a mission set?
1. I went to A&S and I ended up quitting like an absolute dummy, will I be eligible to try again? 2. Will I need to go back to SWCC or will it be straight back to A&S if I am eligible?
@@rent2386 Didn’t feel part of the team in addition to home life matters. It had been going on for some time since SWCC. I didn’t do a lot of things right during that time as well. Mentally just broke and led to quitting.
Could you guys talk about the process of someone who wants to cross train to SR? I’m working on my degree and would also like to commission. Are there officer positions for SR?
