160th Pilots and crew are hands down the most fearless and dedicated aviators I have ever witnessed. They will come when no one else will, without a doubt.

Love that the Army has units like the Rangers and Night Stalkers where they let the support guys be a part of the brotherhood too by going through selection as well and also being able to call themselves "Rangers" or "Night Stalkers"

Wow EGP has changed. It looks like those mannequins and how they can simulate a real casualty is gonna save lives...it beats the hell out of just slapping and dragging ol rescue randy around all day lol.

It was fun putting Green Platoon together back in the day when I was a NightStalker. Many afternoons and nights went into the planning of the training needed. Well done, NSDQ

I built the SOF Co. Admin at HAAF, the USCG Flight Station, and re-wired the runway lighting as the Owner's Rep to the Site(s). Thank you for letting me contribute. Much respect to all.

Just got done watching Jocko’s podcast with Mike Durant, Nightstalkers are hands down the best and most badass pilots

My son is a Nightstalker officer and pilot…training is very difficult…he’s always deployed 😢😢😢

Spent 4 years in the Marine Corps as an Infantryman, transitioned into the SD Army National Guard as a 15T and recently took a job as a civillian aircraft mechanic. Been looking pretty heavily into dropping a SOAR packet to go to Green Platoon.

I just bought a car and I guess the previous owner forgot his pin, it was a night stalker pin, I had no idea what it was till I looked it up. I’m proud to be owning a car that a night stalker previously owned. He really took care of this car. Salute.

My cousin was a mechanic in 160th, but he had to go through all of the same selection and training as everyone else. In Iraq he was called on quite frequently to be a door gunner on infil/exfils. He was patching up blackhawks and little birds for sometimes 18+ hours per day when they were hunting Zarqawi

Big respect to the Regiment and incoming members. Very proud of the ladies who are serving. Years ago one of the Battalions was garrisoned in the same location as my unit. Always respect top notch aviatiors. 👍🏼

Great insight to a incredible job.

Outstanding. Looks like they changed a few things since I went through Green Platoon. Glad to see them upholding high standards.

World class team! Great video!

As a Old NIGHTSTALKER I am so proud of each and everyone of you. THANK YOU. NSDQ.

Would like to see a video of the overview of the officer assessment! Great Video!!

I WISH I would have known about this when I was younger and healthier!

Oh shit!!! Is that 1eye Willie! Looking good man!!!

These are the dudes that fly the SOF community in and out of objectives

I served in SOF community for 5 years and this was some of the best training of my life. I wasn’t able to make it unfortunately at the end I was dropped but I (used/ taught) everything I learned. NSDQ!

Awesome to see how the training has evolved in the last 2 decades. NSDQ!

Went through back in 00’ I saw one of my instructors(John) in this video. Can’t believe he’s still doing it .🇺🇸💪🏼NSDQ

Nice to see not much has changed.

Most of the Standards should be incorporated into Basic AIT training. The Bar needs to be increased.

So the kid in thenred shirt was getting his cadre shirt as a hotel when i went through Green Platoon. He was beast.

02:35 after 3 years, our class gravestone is still there "To the grave"

Been looking into soar for like a year now and Im applying soon. Hopefully i meet all the requirements and can make the cut

Maaan... back when I was stationed in ft C, there were folks that gave out recruitment stitches in front of our company a few times. I always wondered what I would have trained in if I was interested in that path. It's really cool to see this. I wish I would have when I was in. I wise what would happen if a video like this was given on a business card to us during that time and we got to check it out. Most of those times we got those speeches were Friday formation when most of us really just wanted to go unwind. Maybe if e had a cool KZfaq video to introduce us after we get to the barracks it would really in some more interest? I dunno... things have probably changed a bunch since I was in.

I was in class 21-01… Great times

Lots have changed. But definitely an improvement pertaining to todays theatre.

Night Stalkers dont quit!

Wow Big John is Still There too

9:27 ITS RESCUE RANDY HELL YEAH

Classes seem so much bigger now. I went through in 96. An enlisted class was about plattoon size. I should know, I just missed the start of one class and had to wait though an officer class before I started.

Respect

now just found the unit i want to push myself for

Are you able to do a video regarding the pilots training?

that is my friend at 3:22 NSDQ!!!!

I'm waiting for airborne school and I'm hoping after I can move forward with trying to get to this next step!

I wish i had gotten to experience this training it looks so much more robust and more indepth. This i garuntee will produce NightStalkers the likes of which this world has never seen. Man what i wouldnt give to be able to go through it again. Best time i ever had in the Army was going through EGP. Class 16-02.

holy shit these guys fly 20m AGL in the middle of the night over undulating terrain, fucking cool

Respect! Personally something I would never want to do lol. I’ll stick to my regular army job.

Not going to lie this looks way more fun then the Q-corse was

GP has changed!

Damn I’m finna drop my packet

Tough outfit. Smart uniform.

Will there be a video about the pilots?

This is my end goal, I’m in AIT and I’m trying all I can to get into 160th

R. I. P Sgt Tyler Shelton

So attends the training? Pilots, crew chiefs & maybe refuelers since back in the 80's they had refuelers that were on jump status in the 160th?

Yep I got tossed when the Army needed me. Good lock

Hmm I seem to remember a hose or two coming out during that first day.. and I wonder if the still have that trench they make you crawl through with your TA50 being hosed and then making you throwing everyone’s TA50 in a giant Mountain.. lol good times

EGP 2008, Wow have things changed. I recall a lot more yelling and we didn't have all of the nice combatives gear lol we did airways and iv's on each other. But the range looks nice.. I wonder if they still do graduating class projects. My class left behind (the four bitches) we took a telephone pole cut it into 4 and chained them together. If one side goes the rest follow. We did a lot of log pt 😆

ah the good old pit. good times

I remember I was at Hunter Army Airfield in 1985. We were changing the floor out of a Huey and this Col came by from 160th. He said they were looking for mechanics that can do heavy mods on aircraft. They would take you away that day and give you a promotion within 30 days if you passed their PT test and looked like you were going to fit in the unit. We all looked at each other then the floor and each mumbled "Nah we are all good Sir. " Its shitty enough to work 8 hours a day in a sweaty georgia hanger then you have to put up with all that "Oorah" crap

It’s a pocket today and a safety catch tomorrow

So they basically go through the Infantry school?

I’m in ait thinking of doing soar

The best part of my career was in 3/160. The worst decision was to reclass and move on to regular army.

What about a special Olympic pivit

I went through "Green Platoon" (GP), back in early 90's. Back then it was still within it's infancy. Its good to see how much the program has evolved. It's the perfect way to 1) weed out the SMs who shouldn't be there; 2) provide a baseline to newly assigned SMs; 3) Instills the NSDQ attitude. I'd be remiss if I didn't give all the 160th NCO's that has invested time & energy into making GP what it is today their acknowledgement!! NSDQ!! MSG Green, R (Retired), 92-A, 2nd BN D Co., Tech Supply NCOIC (assigned in 1990).

i’m thinking about joining the 160th to be a 15W (UAV Operator)

Currently in my last 2weeks of green platoon. I graduate in 13 days wish me luck.

Is there a swim test? I’ve never swam before and I would like to do this, but afraid I’d be DQ’ed because I can’t swim/never been in water before.

Why is the Unity Riser so expensive ?

Ruck layout drills!! Lol 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 I just remember throwing my shit on the ground at 2 in the morning and being encouraged to "hurry the fuck up and pack"

👍

SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody remember talladega??

For any new buck who sees this, when they talk about running be crucial, they are not fucking lying. Open those lungs up and train them running, hiking if capable, also never neglect land NAV, learn your tractors, how to shoot azimuths and back. You do that, everything else will follow if you really want to be a Stalker. This is easy, wait till SERE. Hookers gunna hook, stalkers always gunna creep. Never sleepin always creepin.

How do you get to green platoon in the first place?

Robert William BYNG night stalkers comander cia nsa teir 1 operator and first respounce unit for traines dont worry that your legs are tired try useing skates and doing more laps or roller blades and doing faster laps with added weight in pack for 100 pounds.

gonna drop a packet as a 35 series

Needles!? I guess I won’t be going… 🥺

Это что за подразделение? Для каких задач? Какой род войск?

Just remember - with enough ammunition and motivation there's no such thing as a hot LZ !

I need to fly to Afghanistan Everyone: NOPE 160th SOAR: I’m waiting on you, LETS GO

NSDQ…next stop Dairy Queen…😁

NightStalker 90-94... #NSDQ

This is 🅿️

NSDQ!

2/160 Airborne plt

⛩

How could I forget BLACK DAY.... I believe they don't call it that anymore (ahhh this PC is going to kill us...)

Meanwhile....on the backside of Ft. Campbell.

Man after 22 yrs in marine corps glad i made that choice- that was every day for a marine corps line rifle company

What is the path to get into Green Platoon? (For a civilian.)

I thought 160th was the last Army unit to not have females, I guess that notoriety still belongs to the 75th.

First 20 secs and I can see 2 with their pockets open 0:17

NSDQ

Robert William BYNG night stalkers comander vea white house cia nsa for traines dont worry about doing chin ups go to gym and use light weights 50 pounds or 100 pounds and do more reps better than pushing 1000 pounds or 500.

Robert William BYNG comander of army airborn night stalkers rip kevin houston and many other s.

Safe and comfortable😂😂😂😂😂 if you strive for comfort in this you're not going to make it

A far cry from 1994...

My fat friend just did this and passed. Typical army. Make things sound cooler and harder then they are

The idiocy of the military, PT belts on a land nav course.

Did I see a woman in your training!?
