NOPE
This just shows that most people don't understand what the human mind/body goes through during war.
I have seen some things in my time. I wouldn't want anyone to see. Thanks for your perspective. Some people watch too many movies.

what is ruck?
so you gave it up because you don't like to run? That's ridiculous. You sure it wasn't other reasonsI never thought about the military couldn't fukk with the running did score in like the 90 percentile in the ASVAB tho. Had a homie who did like a 10 month bid in South Carolina too bc he couldn't pass the PT test after basic
you have a lot of negativity in your life. Please talk with @Slaimon Khan Shah
You have to already be enlisted and finish basic/AIT...and damn there max out your PT test and have a high asvab score, max out rifle marksmanship and all combat quals before you're even considered...they usually pick from a small percentile of soldiers based off of recommendations from Battalion/Brigade/Division CO's/Senior NCO's. There are some that are able to get "special forces" option in their contract when they 1st enlist based on high asvab scores and/or past occupations...but there's no guarantee they'll cycle you in after you finish basic/ait if your stats ain't up to par or if you don't get a reccomendation from your company/battalion/brigade/division CO.
Yeah, when he calls on Skype I will report back but that could be weeks. lol He is in Africa right now and they are constantly moving. But study for those tests ahead of time, work on your cardio, etc. Be prepared before you even enter basic.

I don't want to start shyt but that perspective sounds exactly like a movie
sounds difficult. Are these guys seen as the cream of the crop in the military?
Rucking is walking with a pack on your back that weighs roughly 35lbs,but for sf you should do 60-80 and walk 20 miles

When they say art reflects life... that is very true breh..
War is not sought after. it is a plague on humanity.
Older , Righteous and upstanding people know the deal. If you chose to be a dog of war, be prepared to leave humanity behind.
That is my only advise to you.

More often than not I tend to take that L.
I know when I was in I witnessed some guys from my bootcamp company who tried out for the Navy Seals. After bootcamp I was going to A School in Great Lakes and they were doing some pre training. I don't know everything they was doing but I do know I would be in the base McDonalds eating a #2 combo and see them nikkas running around seemingly nonstop wearing those tiny ass
brown shorts and wearing the boots they give you in bootcamp which are some of the most uncomfortable shyts ever.
They were at it EVERY day. That was just them running around. I did not see the other shyt they had them doing. Them nikkas looked exhausted every day and they were not even in the program yet. I know two of them lasted like 2 days and those dudes were ripped no homo. The other guy was a slim brother from Miss. Last I knew he got into the Seals training program. I hope breh made it.
Of course I had a run in with Navy Seals later when me and a Admiral got caught up in a training exercise. From that brief encounter I wanted no dealings with those dudes.
They ziplined out of a fukking tree so smooth on some GI Joe shyt.

I started this gangsta sh-
Jumping out of a plane over and over messed my buddy's knee up.
So thats just something to consider.
He wasn't even special forces... just the parachute training he was doing over and over messed his knee up.
But they let him switch his MOS. So he ended up being an optitrician or optometrist or whatever the word is for the person that makes glasses.
He did that for the army.
Said it paid more than jumping out the plane...

Do US special forces do this kind of training?
lol Reminds me of that scene from Jarhead.
That's the wild thing.

People do it because of the prestige and the jingoism that they're knee-deep in by the time they make it.
You can lateral into a high-paying government job after you're discharged if you're not suffering from PTSD too badly
You'd be shocked, I know 21 year old Accountants who make two and three times what Special Forces officers get paid.
If you're looking for something, Navy and Air Force are the way to go
The SF Cac who was in charge where I was stationed in Afganistan was a grade A a$$hole. I was at a small FOB called Pul-y-Am and we wee basically support for them, though SF isn't directly in charge of us, our unit wasn't directly in charge of THEM either and they tried to tell us what to do and fukked us over with all sorts of fukkery...
For instance, me and my homie Calhoun were the two cooks assigned to the FOB. This was my first deployment to Afghanistan and Calhoun's second, so even though we were both Specialists (Rank E4) I sort of deferred to him for our first couple weeks because he was more experienced in this situation.
Only issue is my homie Calhoun, God Bless him, is crazy lol
Me and Calhoun
Dude has NO filter, so his tolerance for bullshyt is like zero, and unfortunately in Afghanistan, you will deal with ALOT of bullshyt, as I learned...
So first day we meet these crazy SF guys, we meet our "workers", who are local nationals. The SF Cac and his c00n underling (who we dubbed "Calvin Candie and Django") they come up to us. Basically talking about how bad ass they were and how we shouldn't treat the local nationals as "Real People". This Cac had a Slave master vibe to him. He treated the local nationals who worked for us like shyt. Threatening to fire them, not pay them, and all types of verbal abuse. Besides that there was a third cook, who was attached DIRECTLY to them, who they used to abuse and treat badly. This dude was a brotha, a big dude maybe my height (6 "2") but easily with more girth. He was younger, around 19. One of those thoes whose quiet, likes to draw, not confrontational. Now don't get me wrong this dude wasn't a bytch or c00n, but his rank was only E2 (Private second class) So when them SF boys made him get up at 2 in the morning and cook for them (when they were supposed to be eating MRE's) or smoked him (forcing to him perform PT in the hot ass sun) there wasn't much he could do, he was alone.
At least me and Calhoun had each other, again though Calhoun had a short fuse, and we BOTH couldn't stand that Cac, but everything came to a head when on Easter, we were preparing a BIG meal because all the big wigs were coming to the FOB that day (Command Sgt, First Sgt, etc) we had HORRIBLE cooking equipment but we were trying to make it work. We had turkeys, lobster, steaks, etc and we started cooking at about 5am
Well it's around 10am and we got a truck full of food that the SF's didn't want to load for us, even though they KNEW we were sweating our asses off trying to make this meal. Calhoun decided to take a stand and he was my boy so I stood with him. Only issue was he told that Cac he wasn't doing a Goddamn THING more than makin this meal and that they could all suck his dikk! This, in the middle of Afghanistan, with nobody to have our backs against these SF muthafukkas was not the right move. But fukk that Cac, I stood with my boy Calhoun. We were ready to basically lose our ranks over this.
So we had a Sgt named Moody (cool ass dude. Reminds me of @BmoreGorilla ) who stood up for us and told the Command Sgt and 1st Sgt what really happened. So we didn't lose rank but that SF Cac made life hell for us as much he could.
The homie Moody
Man this story bringing back some crazy ass memories lol I could go on and on about that time period
-How I pulled my Gun on a Local Shop owner and told him I was going to blow his fukking head off, and Calhoun used the opportunity to STEAL some bootleg movies lol
- How Me and Calhoun got tired of telling the local nationals that Pepperoni WAS pork and after the 20th time we just let them go ahead and eat it lol
- How me and Calhoun taught the Slavery hymn from the Boondocks episode Catcher Freemen to the locals and had them singing "Why won't you come Catcher and KILL ALL THESE CRACKAS!" out loud
- The three Local nationals who worked for us were brothers, and the youngest one spent all his money at Whorehouses and his two older brothers used to clown him about it
- How it took me 16 hours to download Yeezus using our terrible internet service and sharing the leak and EVERYBODY having the simultaneous
look on their faces when we heard On Sight (Got the leak from the COLI 
)- How I beat the shyt out of this white boy at 3am in the morning the first time we got attacked because he woke me up to warn me and I thought he was a terrorist (Calhoun laughed his ass off for WEEKS at that one)
-how we set up a makeshift ping pong table using some spare wood pieces and me, Calhoun, Moody, and another guy named Castro would just play each other for hours
-how we used to do movie nights and I showed Calhoun and Moody Sankofa and Shaka Zulu for the first time. After that they called me Malcolm X for like two weeks
Maybe @General Mills had the same experiences though I think he was in a different branch. He could probably tell a better story than me.
@Amethyst #TPC and anyone else who has any other inquiries just let me know
