4 hours for a 30k????? OMG 😱😱😱😱

speed walking for 18 1/2 miles with a time limit, holy shit

Yours is far better.

The ruck isnt that bad did that after no pt for a month lmao

Was never the seals or such that were hard to deal with was Always the marine infantry.

It’s always those marines

No shit. PJs walk on water.

It takes 3 yrs to fully complete Seal training

@@andrewj9831 Buds would be comparable to PJ A&S which is a 8-10 week prep course. SEAL training is definitely not 3.5 years as PJ is one of the longest pipelines at maxes out a 2.5 years depending on your prior qualifications or performance

@@MrRolled1 Okay

@@andrewj9831 don’t forget sqt also

Excuse me for being naïve, but why does being colour-blind restrict going into that line of work? Is it something to do with hitting targets or enemy lines? Just curious 🤔

@@beththebunny You need to be able to pick out different colored signal lights and flares from your own forces. Its mostly a safety issue.

I failed depth perception for TACP

That stinks. I failed vision test on flight physical for PJs. Honestly though, I wasn't that mad. I was happy to continue boot camp, and eventually became a network administrator in the AF. Cable dawg too. (Cable Dawg not by AFSC, but worked with them a lot and learned). Network admin was great, though, which was my AFSC. Loved it.

Damn bro is a modern day Ephialtes

Agreed when I first got pre selected in the recruiting process I could hardly finish the test. 9 months later it was my warm up at the gym before doing anything else. Unfortunately I got in a car wreck and that was that, I went to college instead.

@@theonly9 So you couldve gone pro like uncle Rico?

@@kevincorrigan1754 I can throw this football clear over them mountains.

Lol majority of operators aren’t gonna be training like this once they get to a team. Mostly hitting weights

@@theonly9 🤣🤣🤣

Agreed. Can’t be allowing half pull ups, breaks during the sit ups, etc. This proctor did great. I hope for more like this in the future.

Every single one of his pullups would have been no-repped in most AF Special Warfare development programs. NO reaching with the chin. Look DOWN and over the bar.

Everything is done strictly so that when you go to Indoc you’ll have a less chance of being eliminated 😎

That's probably odd for millenials and other kids huh? Snowflakes

He sounded strict but wasn't able to watch Austin's fingers while doing the sit up and Austin laid on the ground a couple of times which should have disqualified him. Austin needs to rest in the upright position.

airforce gets a lot of shit for being soft but their special operators are some of the best of the best

@@LucefieD - As a proud United States Airman...at 58, I'm still NOT soft!! Never was!! Just because our BMT is not as long as your MCRD, does NOT mean we're f**king soft!! I'm sure there's marine pogs (supply, admin, personnel, etc) that are soft! You can't tell me that all marines still work out when they get in the Navy fleet!! The combat MOS's....okay! All branches have members who are soft!!

Could you do different country's military tests

Does the Army Rangers have a special test? If so you should definitely try that. 👌

@@paytonzerkle65 oh that would be interesting I think!

I like Payton's idea for other countries. Do like Britain or Australia, then maybe a mainland European, Russia, and Asian country...something like that.

It’s a good time for a guy as big as him for sure

@gae yea the standard changed to 9:47 for the 1.5 in like 2012 and no idea what it is now because the course I did (indoc) for pararescue doesn't exist anymore. We used to do a 5 mi during the course near the end that was a

@@pongo713 min is 10:20 now.

😂

Supervised an active duty Air Force guy who did 7:04 for his 1.5 mile. Would run 15 miles a day at least 3 days a week, went through running shoes like crazy, breaking in new shoes usually meant bloody feet for him. Ran a 3 person distance relay race on base by himself (Commander pissed him off saying he wasn't allowed to run on his own but did it anyway) beat SOCOM, CENTCOM, SF, JCSE on his own. Was about 10 years ago, his name is Kevin Collmar. Used to do civilian events too. No shit fastest 1.5 mile I've ever seen. Would put money on him vs anybody, any branch.

Lowest was 8:30-845, on multiple runs, I'm definitely a big boy, 6'1, 260, I work out, train sumo, judo, etc...the only time in my life I ran a 7 was when I was 60 lbs less, though I'll take it.

@@climatepurification That is insanely fast. My fastest 1.5 mile run was AF basic training in 2004. I ran an 8:12, which is pretty fast imo. But low sevens is just straight sprint. I felt like I was sprinting the entire 1.5 in basic and I'm 6'3, 210 so I have the height, but still had to push the speed to reach that time.

You have no idea my friend. The training is excruciatingly difficult. Unless they changed it since I was in?

Went to boot camp, met my best friend… an our first pt test he ran an 6:18…. Dude ran in college for Oklahoma. I had never seen a human be able to run at that pace before til that point. It was insane. I guess I wasn’t bad either, I ended my final pt test with a 7:12 1.5mile. Anyways god bless y’all, an remember it’s ok an good to be patriotic 🇺🇸

Oh trust me I was thinking the same 😂

Yes. Combat Controllers pre-date PJs. We often train together too. Pararescue actually came out of the large patient demand encountered in Vietnam.

I look forward to seeing Gage in the comments 😁

How often can you retake the past test?

@@danielbarber7467 I believe it’s every two weeks, I can’t remember for sure though

@Brad Morrison It actually does but you do you bud

@Brad Morrison says the man coming up short

@@chumbue6537 Naa, height … weight … age … none of it means crap. It’s all mental. The PAST is doable for many who train. A 5’5” or 6’5” should be able to pass this test with adequate prep. Try the graduation standards of indoc, much harder physically. You need to be trained up, it’s doable again, whether your 5’5” or 6’5” … 18 or 38. … it’s comes down to mental toughness. People quit because they realized what they signed up for … and it ain’t CrossFit . The asterisk is if the get hurt, and gave the opportunity to rollback or not. For the record, I’m a never was.

Plank 2 minutes, 20 push-ups/ 10 minutes!!!! HOOOOYAHHHH, BROTHER!!!!! Take it down to 10 push-ups if need be---NEVER QUIT!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@Brad Morrison dude frrrr, they changed the minimum standards now and gave more points, but 2 minutes of pushups for 50 minimum is so easy. My unit doesnt want us below 60 for pushup portion of the test

Correct. Also, being dense/squat like that -- they just sink to the bottom of the pool usually. I swam and wrestled in HS and College. So all of that gave me an enormous advantage.

I passed the PAST. But, if I could go back, and actually planned on having a career in special forces, I would go in lean and light, paying way more attention to cardio than bulk. Way more. I passed the PAST at 5 8 190, which is, I think heavy for that height. I didn't know I was going to try out for special forces. If I had known beforehand, that was the path I wanted to go, I would have taken the PAST at 160 pounds.

Hey brotha I’m interested in becoming a PJ, should incorporate rucking around in my workouts. I plan on training for 9+ months

Glad to have you here! Best of luck and thanks for watching 🙏🙏

@@AustenAlexander also just replied to an above comment but I totally agree found your channel and started cycling, exercising and drinking nothing but water and being positive. Dropped several sizes and feeling so much fitter so thank you for the inspiration.

@I M definetly over 6'3

I’m a tad over 6’3” and about 235

He has a bit of height and weight but he definitely lifts weights and works on his biceps and triceps.

@@AustenAlexander your mile and a half at that weight is phenomenal!

I'm 6'3" 220 and I can def do better than that. I know he's a Navy dude and all but shiiieeet. I expected at least 75% on each event. Glad he's training hard and working on himself every day though 👍. Start small, finish huge 💪

That is literally insane. Could I ask for some tips on how you got in such good shape?

🔥🔥🔥

really nice for that bodyweight dude

That's great. I was short and stocky going in. My best 2 miler in boot camp was 12:46. Great run time for you right there.

@@malcolmwilkins3365 It's 5 months later, and you're probably not going to read this, but if you do, my advice, 1000 percent, is run, and run often. Every day. At least 3 miles everyday. In my opinion, 3-5 miles every day. It works magic. I found too, that once I was running 5 milers, running 10 milers wasn't much different.

@@austenalex731 you are welcome

@@austenalex731 im in Ontario Canada.

@@austenalex731 thank you Alex

I finished my last year in the AF as a 45 yr old running this test at 9.30. Old, tired but still beat all those taking the test. Kind of sad. Hoped the young folks would beat an old dude. Didn’t happen. Hope the effort to get folks in shape improves.

I appreciate that. This is a good idea. I would probably target one job for ASVAB instead of going through the list of all of them

@@AustenAlexander Another thought, maybe the Marine Corps Crucible would be a good one. 3 days, it's certainly a barrier to entry and it's definitely a fitness test.

right, I thought the pulls had to be way more, I can totally already do like 16

Thank you! 🙏

how is that? i’m thinking of joining

@@gerry9773 I would recommend it. You have to be humble though, they really don’t like people with and ego. They’re looking for someone who gets the job done without complaining.

@@lukewright01 how’s it going so far? I’m going to cross train into either TACP or PJ but I’ve heard TACP might be going away in the upcoming years

​@@marcus302 when / where did you here this ?

The only thing I typically have trouble with is getting my run times down and the underwater swims. Mainly because The lightest I've ever been in the last 10 years is 229lbs at 229 Im fast a mother and can run and run but it takes a lot of work to get down to that weight I'm usually 250+.

Me too

Me too, how’d it go?

Probably because that's the army standard and army and air force are linked.

This confused me because in the AFI, and as practiced currently (oct 2020) you must have your arms crossed over your chest with the tips of your fingers against your collar. If your fingers lift from your collar it does not count. If you grab your shirt it doesn’t count (and possible DQ but that might be a rumor). If your hips lift it doesn’t count. You have to have correct form for the test proctor to recognize your assessment as legitimate. They’re actually hella strict about it and it’s not secret info lol. I have no clue why this dude said that. [EDIT TO ADD] As of April 2019 they were doing sit-ups with arms crossed in front on chest. They likely started earlier than that. He’s weird 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@spearbun that's for "normal" PT tests. The specops tests have different rules.

@@spearbun He's not weird, you just haven't done what Special Warfare does

Yeah hope he does soon

One guy I knew who was in the fleet for a number of years (already was GM1 at that time), decided to go SEALS. Took the exam at Great Lakes late 80's, with the SEALS there. During the whole PT test, they would expect him to talk, try to trick him up, get in his way on the swim and run (he had to go around them if he wanted to pass, so they would run/swim faster/slower and force him to the edge of the track/pool). Before the test started he had to show them he could swim, run, push-ups, pull-ups properly, and in an acceptable number, and time frame, then he had to get warmed up and run with them, until they made it back to the pool. The rest time allowed between tests included getting to the next test location. After the swim, he had to change (they were nice enough to allow him to put his clothes on a chair right next to the pool, and get dressed on the pool deck, but they decide to check his clothes/shoes for things, and his clothes got wet) run to the the pull-up bar (running around the building to get to the walkway to the bar as he couldn't go on the grass, etc), while still in his rest time. Doing the pull ups, he was still expected to use the whole time allowed even if he reached the amount needed (pass/fail on #) and just hang there. The push-up area was at another location, Sit-ups elsewhere, so he had to run there, and the run start line was where they started at, so he had to run to the run.... It was 5% PT test and 95% mental.....

That workout is deadly

Much appreciated!

Do push ups, sit ups, and run, like today. Learn ur ranks, before going in especially officer's ranks, if u can call the area to attention in basic when an officer arrives u get huge kudos points. Best advice I can give u

Good luck to you, Wavy!

You are the reason I created this video

Regular air force pt test is not like this, much easier. You'll be okay as long as your training somewhat before u go.
