“Don’t quit” is a common motivational line. Going through ranger and sapper school, I’d tell myself “I’m worthy” and ask myself “why do I want this!” Kudos to the SF guys though. Total bada$$es

@@5222kor he’s trying do something that reminds him of his time serving?? a lot of vets feel attached to their time serving and miss it. Makes sense why he’d wanna do workouts made for future soldiers. Maybe he was deployed and didn’t have time for special forces, maybe he just didn’t get through which is completely fine and normal. Respect your veterans he isn’t claiming that this is light work for him he just wants to get that feeling of being in the military again

Thank you for this, currently prepping for 18x and constantly doing my homework

Grip strength!!! And just overall STRENGTH!! You don’t need to be a world class runner just gotta have a durable body under all that weight, if that makes sense. (Guys I’ve seen be very successful did tons of very LONG slow runs for the purpose of getting miles on their feet, and -again- conditioning their overall body for being resilient. That’s the only reason I would run for SFAS, otherwise I’d recommend nothing but Crossfit/lifting. (For BUD/S and RASP it’s different, you need to be speedy and a lot of small lean guys do great there- SFAS is for strong dudes)

@sirloin9348 2 ай бұрын

Do a lot of functional strength exercises and lots of rucking. It's not as bad as everyone says. I thought the 18x prep course was harder than selection.

@stayimmortal17 26 күн бұрын

Foot care! Get liquid skin, mole skin, extreme adhesive medical tape, gorilla tape, and lots of foot powder. Get used to having lots of weight on your back for hours and hours. As an 18X, you'll get the prep course SOPC. It will definitely prepare you properly. For me, the hardest thing about Selection was the extreme lack of sleep. Otherwise, I thought it was fun and not too bad.

You guys going to Selection are so lucky the TREK is no longer an event. My class in 2008 was one of the last classes to do it. It was the final "right of passage" after completing all other events and team week. A 33-mile road march. So many good dudes failed at the end due to broken legs. The best advice I can give still applies. Just put one foot in front of the other until told not to. Don't ever quit anything, or quitting becomes easier. Pain is weakness leaving the body. Just tell yourself that when it sucks.

@Lycurgus47 15 күн бұрын

It absolutely is still a part of selection. I went through in 2020 and I don’t know a class that hasn’t had to do it.

@FMD023 3 ай бұрын

For you future 18x hopefuls. You guys have no idea how lucky you are to have reference or guidance like this before selection. This is almost like a cheat sheet or to me at least. Hopefully this does increase recruits in the SF community and also raises the pass rate for selection.
