Hell ya. Good luck on the journey.

How exciting! I wish you luck! How hard was it to get that contract?

Good luck brother!

Appreciate it!

Did the recruiter try to present other contract to you… mine did and I told him ima just sign 18x contract..I had to go find another recruiter

I’ve done quite a few already. The one on The Team House Podcast is probably the most comprehensive. Also just did one with Jay over at Green Beret chronicles that will be out soon.

Welcome, thanks dude.

Hell ya dude that’s what it’s all about. Doesn’t matter where you’re at as long as you’re on the path to self improvement.

Calisthenics honestly are probably the best for passing things like generic PT tests, (push ups, sit ups, pull ups, run) but the Q course also has backbreaking ruck events, so you need to be very strong in the lower body as well. Martial arts is decent for conditioning but probably the least useful overall.

Take what I say with a pinch of salt but I follow several channels of ex SF dudes and opinion varies. Everyone puts emphasis on endurance (running, rucking etc) because it's essential. However, some guys mention getting stronger through compound barbell movements (squat, deadlifts, bench etc) others tell you to get super good at the APFT and so on.

It’s done more as a hobby but yes, we have our own dojos, even have our own cage. Every year during the Menton competition there is a fight night that’s a ufc style match that group guy will join and fight each other.

@@ValhallaVFThell yeah, thanks for sharing

I’ve never heard of a warrant going to selection. Most SF warrants are pretty far into their military careers, if you’re going to try out for delta you usually do it early in your career before you body is destroyed.

@@ValhallaVFT right that's what I assumed. Super odd and specific question but do officers (18a's) ever or could an officer drop their commission, become a warrant officer, then apply for delta force to serve an enlisted role to 'serve more team time'? or is that unheard of?

I don’t know enough about that, I do know quite a few guys who did it though so it is a pipeline that exists

Usually about 3-4 years and typically once your an E-7.

3rd ranger battalion is a part of the 75th ranger regiment. There are three. 1st, 2nd and 3rd battalion. A scroll would mean you're in one of the ranger battalions.. Last I remember it was 2nd over in Washington and 1st and 3rd in Georgia.

Heavier you are the harder distance running is. Sort of the downfall. I tried to keep myself around 6’2 200 lbs while I was in the course to help increase my run times. I’m about 235lbs normally.

Run long slow distance. Swim. And bike. Cardio is confidence bro

Always look cool

Rule number 2?

@@alecpalvareznever get lost. 3rd rule. If lost. Still look cool Swift silent deadly Jesus is Lord Jesus Saves!

Obviously dude just go sign the contract

Depends on your height, if you’re 5’5 that’s probably not too undersized. If you’re 6’2, you’ll probably want to bulk up. What are your strengths and weaknesses physically?

Being thin isn’t a disadvantage, provided your legs are strong enough to handle the weight of a ruck. Makes running way easier. You do still need to be strong enough to pass physical events though.

@Daily_Bassist I am 5'11 and I am 27 years old. I am good at running but I am not physically strong and I was prior service in navy for 4.5 years.

@@ValhallaVFT Which workout do you recommend I do to pass the physical?

@@UltimateLimitless678 VFT has a good couple of videos for preparation. Also check out TFVooDoo on the internet, he’s got some good recommendations for a holistic training approach. The short answer is that you’ll need a good lifting foundation to carry the weight of a ruck. It’s a lot more about muscle endurance than all-out strength, so your 1 rep max on squat won’t help you a ton but being able to squat decent weight forever and ever and ever will help significantly. Likewise, being able to bench 300+ once won’t automatically make you do 100 pushups in 2 minutes. That said, you still need a solid strength foundation for rucking, so be lifting regularly on movements like bench, squat, overhead press and the like. Deadlift is part of the ACFT, so you’ll want to be able to score really well on that. Again, I’m also still in the train-up phase so I’m no expert, I’m just regurgitating what smarter people than me have said and I’m seeing significant improvement from doing this things. Like you, I’m an excellent runner (by army standards) but strength needs to improve. You need to get good at the events in the ACFT plus rucking and pullups. Just find a good plan, stay consistent, and you’ll see results.

Go find a SEAL for that.

😂🫡

@@ValhallaVFT haha

Ya, start slow but be consistent. Consistency will always be king in the fitness space. I’ve had to restart after like 8 major invasive surgeries on knees/back/shoulders. I just limit the volume until I slowly get myself back in shape.

@@ValhallaVFT for cutting weight is cardio heavy work outs the best route?

@@ryanwilliams1410 no, HIIT training and lifting weights are much better for actual fat loss. Cardio is really more for having a healthy cardiovascular system than it is for losing fat.
