Selected at 35, graduated at 37. 18E, still ran 12:15.

Currently 30 and im giving it my all to be on a team even if its for a short time. I feel alot stronger more mature and overall smarter and better person than i was at 21

I’m 39 now and getting ready to enlist 18x national guard

Literally just got off the phone with a friend talking about this exact subject. Thank you sir!

Thank you sir. I was the one requesting the video the other day and I truly appreciate you taking the time to make this..as you can see from the comments and interaction, plenty of us 30s wanna get after it. Thank you for holding the torch and being a bridge builder. See you at my graduation

Outstanding!

I passed SFAS in 1990 at age 24. A guy from one of the AR/NG groups was selected in my class at age 42. He had been in the previous class with his son. His son was selected and he made it all the way through and was not selected. I guess they decided if he was tough enough to do it twice back to back he was tough enough to go on to the SFQC.

What you mean the body breakdown at 35? I'm 35 been going to the gym since 16yo, boxing, running and hiking. My body is stronger them ever. It's not age, it's what you do in these year's that count.

Col Kurtz was 38 yrs old when he joined SF

I’m 27. Turning 28 in August. Feel more mature that I was at 18-mid 20’s. Stronger physically and mentally. Perfect time for me. Can’t wait to do national guard and try 18x

Our military would be better if everyone was in their 30s some of the kids I served with were like literal children mentally

Goin into AFSPECWAR pipeline at 37. Got into the PAST program this week. First IFT in two days. Ya I’m not ready to pass the run, pull-ups or 500m swim quite yet but I should be able to within a month or two tops.

Thank for your video! I’m 27 and I’m currently a police officer. I always wanted to go into special forces. Unfortunately I can’t join the army until I get certain things squared away, but the plan is to join the army maybe age 30. I feel better now physically and mentally than when I was younger. Hopefully one day.

I wish I can explain how frustrating it is to know I can't go SF. I just finished BCT, over 500 in my ACFT but because I'm 41 I can't go. If you're thinking about it, do it, and don't end like me having to regret it not doing it sooner.

Honestly I’m nervous going in at age 22. I think I’m pretty mature but I have next to no real life experience even with a bachelor’s degree, and I’ve lived comfortably up until this point.

@valhallatraining. During A&S Is there anyway or time you’re allowed to rehab yourself with ice or anything? Or just push through it?

Thanks for the encouraging words. For folks in their 30s considering commissioning of going enlisted in the part-time(national guard) special forces, can you do a video on benefits and rationale of going one path over the other; particularly as they'd still be having a regular career to keep providing for their families and upholding the same standard of living while pursuing their chosen SF career path? It's been a question that's bothered me for a bit, given over 30 you already have a degree, decade of work experiences under your belt & like a full on career, if it'd make any sense to even consider enlisting so as to learn the tools of the trade, but have a compromise by take orders from folks alot much younger than yourself while doing mundane tasks, or it's wiser to simply just commission and start at least in lower management and then begin charting your SF national guard part-time career from that level with some assumed responsibility already. Thanks for considering creating a video specifically for this scenario.

How often do you do yoga? Ive been going once a week to a local studio and have definitely noticed a difference since I started

Hell yeah 30-40 is nothing now days oldest ever to get in the regiment brand new is 45

I seen green beret chronicles say..42 year old dudes going in...im 42 was thinking saying F it and go in but its a big decision should i chase a easy life or a full filling life 🤔

Injuries are literally a nightmare

This reminds me of my bad left knee, except when the right one is acting up and that gets to be the bad one for a few weeks. Now my back is hurting again thinking about it...

What kind of stretching/yoga regiment do you do? Just started getting myself back into fit shape and the basic stretches and starting yoga exercises I’ve done has made a world of difference in how I feel day to day. It’s night and day different.

Great video!! Is epilepsy still an absolute no go?

Thank you for this Video! Could a foreigner join any SF in the US?

I'm 50 and can still kick some ass! As long as it's facing towards me 🙄😂

Would anyone be willing to let me get some advice and knowledge from rhem off of here? I just turned 32 and am getting ready to go to the weekend selection to be eligible for the actual selection. Thanks in advance!

CAN? Yes. It’ll be more difficult than at 23 but, yes, absolutely. You’re either the guy or you’re not, go find out.

Is this for guys already enlisted, do you recommend enlisting past 30? I’m 35 and I regret not joining military every day of my life

asks question if 30 years old can do that, use photo of a man looking like 65 :D

I’m fresh 23 and contemplating joining the military. And going for sf. I have no discipline or path to go in my life, and have always wanted to join and get life experience and get some training, and skills. But the politics and forced vaccinations have kept me out. Any thoughts.?

Maybe he can make it in Delta, not in ST6.

Shit I’m nervous to try out at 29. Everyone keeps telling me it’s a stupid idea specially now that less and less people are enlisting. I don’t really have any skills that would translate great in ODA. I do speak 4 different languages but not the ones that really matter. I’m an electrician/solar tech, dropped out of college Jr year, I’m a shit swimmer, I’ve been working and getting ready for the past 3 months but still unsure about walking in that office and signing up. Specially when I see these socom athletes, they look like damn NFL athletes, I’m 6’1/200 average fit. Though this is something I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid. Just too pussy to just sign up.
