About half a year ago I felt this need to join the military and I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to be. I looked through all the branches and a number of different MOS but when I discovered the 18X program and found out about the Green Berets I knew it was something I want. It’s very interesting to hear something from an 18X as I find few people who actually came from that program talking about their experiences. Thanks for the video!

Lost me at Pdiddy. Kat Williams mentioned "everything comes out in 2024."Makes sense though sending those highly qualified individuals to those units if they don't make it

Understood. I hesitated to leave that in there, but that’s the truth.

For about the last year I've been feeling a heavy calling on my heart to serve. My first instinct was to look into the SEAL teams because of the brotherhood. Both the challenge and the comradery that came with it were attractive. I went to see a recruiter and apparently I have too many kids for the Navy (3 now and hopefully more in the future). So now I've pivoted to the Army 18X. I'm almost 30 so waiting on two waivers but if all goes well I should be set to enlist in August. I would love to hear a video about being both a soldier and a father. I worry about making the same mistakes my dad made by being absent and passing on some of the same damage to my son. For this reason, and so my wife can be close to family while I train and deploy, I have been thinking of switching up and doing the 18X program with the Guard instead. But my wife really wants me to go active duty with the Army so we are still praying about it. I would love your perspective as someone who also has a growing family.

How old were you when you did the 18X program? I'm 25 and would have liked to be an officer but I've changed my mind. I might end up joining at 27. Would that be too old in your opinion? (Not too old for SF but is it worth it? Should i just go officer)

@spiritualoperator 5 күн бұрын

I was 30 when I started basic. 27 is not to old. I was originally going officer, but recruiters said at the last minute they were full for the year. Had I gotten in as an “O,” I probably would have never made 18 series. Going SF is worth it, although I may have chosen a different MOS as 18D takes the most time.

@@spiritualoperator hello I’m looking to go into the 18x program and I’m currently a firefighter/medic in the civilian world. That has been one of my questions would I be able to select the 18D mos if I got selected? Thank you so much happy 4th

@@exsaviervega517 ⁠absolutely… IF you get selected. Typically you need a higher GT score, but they are always needing candidates that can pass the Special Forces Combat Medic course. It is longer and you must retain a standard GPA throughout. With your medical background you would definitely get that opportunity. On a side note: if you actually wanted to go 18B with your EMS background, they very well may give you 18D anyway;)
