No. It would be more like "I am capable of doing exactly what I need to do in order to survive, organize or solve these very specific and complex situations that are easy to mess up." Think of these tabs and badges as a doctoral certificate.
@@zhixianuan5664 to be more specific, its the Special Operations Diving Supervisor Badge. Yeah it's a tough course, but for Navy SEALs, Marine Raiders, Force Recons etc its not a problem for them cuz that's their nature.
@@jdmalong I'm not a Navy SEAL and I'm not talking on their behalf. I'm just stating some facts. In order to become a Navy SEAL, candidate must go through a very intense underwater demolition and dive training where many aspects are taught during phase 2 of their BUDS.
Dang! He has the long tab!! Specal Forces , Ranger, Airborne Jump Master, Master Blaster, Air Asault, Pathfinder, and I think thats a scuba badge Respect !!
I NEVER even thought about a career in SoF. I was I was career 11B and retired 11Z When I was in Ranger school (enlisted into the Rangers for six years) we had a First Sergeant who always asked about our boot fit, feet, extra socks powder and also laces .. I never forgot that when I became a squad leader to 1st Sgt... This is a really great advice from this outstanding SOF operator. 11B 1985-2009 11Z retired Sky Soldier.
I came here to admire this stud of a man, the frame, the stack, the command presence, ya we can all agree we still want some of that even tho we are retired and or done with that type of work
There is one item of GI gear that can be the difference between a live grunt and a dead grunt: socks, cushioned soled OD green, try and keep your feet dry while we're out humping. 1st Sgt Klein sure knows his stuff.
@@devinsen363 I mean, it is the internet, and I doubt you are asian too. The real problem is that a non asian like you think that we are somehow better than each other. If you think a ethnicity is superior than another, you need your head checked.
Damn it man, I wanted my chest on my uniform to look stacked like that when I first enlisted. I was talking a lot of shit about getting them too. Unfortunately, Sham shield tore my ass a new one.
@@paratrooperlane7022 was just finishing my 2nd enlistment,when dept of army was telling us that we could not wear the green jungle boot any longer they approved the all black jungle boot,a great era was now over,considering the history of that particular military boot with the us armed forces.....sad times indeed
@@larryodiaga6000 I was in 83, we had jungle boots and jungle fatigues/BDU/Cammies, jeeps, M16A1, Hueys, C rations, etc. I join the guard in 2008 at 48 years old, and the uniform and boots suck. Plus the kids in my unit were lazy as hell, we took a PT test and none of these kids pass it. My last PT test was in 86 and I pass it.
I didnt even see all those patches, damn this guy is super enthusiastic to say the least lol. I see the ranger, airbourne and sf tabs. But what are those other ones?? And is he some kind of master sergeant too?? Respect bro that's a brilliant attitude you got there.
He's a First Sergeant. Same grade as Master Sergeant (E-8) but you are the head NCO in your company, or even platoon in some units. diamond on his chest rank is how you tell 1SG from MSG
Maybe a bonus tip to do what you want with: If you haven't already joined and got some time, walking barefoot alot could help callus your feet and be beneficial.
And stay away from those ''silky smooth'' moisturizing lotions you can buy at the store. ''soft'' or ''silky smooth'' is definitely not what you want your feet to be when you attend those courses.
That's the Special Operations Diver Badge. Not many of those cuz only 1 dive team in a company. Except for CAG, ISA & RRC, the ones that commonly wearing this badge will be Green Berets in dive teams and Long-Range Surveillance units in dive detachments.
Been learning this stuff since I was like seven from Boy Scouts, useful info! Although, I was hiking 50 miles through mountains with rivers, and nearly got trench foot because my socks weren’t wicking. It was the last day and it wasn’t bad so I was fine lol.
Is this advice also for civilian work? I work at Walmart stocking merchandise at night. I use steel toes shoe. It's heavy but necessary. Like preventing pain when a pallet fall on my feet or pallet jack fail to stop and hut the back of my heel.
Great video! Foot care is healthcare! I am a men's feet and foot care enthusiast and have an Instagram account dedicated to the subject. Keep up the good work 👣👍🙌
I heard all sorts of weird s**t about breaking boots in but always figured you broke your feet in, not broke the (issued) boots in. You def need to build up the miles too, there’s no shortcut to conditioning.
Back in the day, with leather boots, in Belgian air commando, we go in the sea with boots, and walking 5 miles with it to return at the base. Never broke boots so fast.
For real. Duct tape works miracles for your feet xD I got turf toe recently while rucking and two half strips of duct tape is all I need to stabilize the toe and keep on training haha.
The funny thing is the most important thing hes got on that uniform is that CIB Special forces Where an Infantry badge but Infantrymen don't wear nothing from SF So that's gotta tell you something about that badge
He has plenty of time in service and time in grade. Enlisted promotions in Army Special Forces once a senior NCO are difficult. Basically you cannot be promoted to Master Sgt unless you are an 18z ASF Senior Sgt
@@tramatt74 I see but that's a bit strange bcoz PJs doesn't attend this course instead they attend their own paramedic course, which is 9 months compared to this roughly 6 months SOCM, but both award the same level of certification.
Matt Valade they are because not a lot of guys can make it through the Q course and not enough of Candidates that’s why they let that bitch in. Well they didn’t, it was the piece of shit officer running and he got fired for lower the standard. It’s too bad they can’t let her go
