If i joined the military...how hard would it be to join the special forces?

[O.T.I.S.]

I wasn't in special forces but worked with them, worked out with them, chilled with them, etc.,


Firstly, they're about as racist as anyone else in the military... Probably less. I was cool with a lot of Devgru/Buds drops, and actual SEALS.

Worked out with a SEAL Chuef once because he wanted a workout partner and I was going HAM at the time.

Lost a weightlifting competition, beat out by a SF guy but smashed my Devgru buddy at the time... And he got first in his weight class.

Buds Drop guys were fukking hilarious. They're the guys who get injured so they have to come to holding until they're medically cleared to go back or get discharged. They were good dudes usually, not even that big.

I literally worked with a lot of these dudes... If you want to join just make sure you can run 6-12 miles a day and can at least do 20 pull-ups straight. Also can swim extremely well. That's about the best advice I can give you for physical preparation... Everything else is mental or wherever your talent lies.

You ready to kill people without evidence because someone up the chain of command told you to? You ready to support the creation of rebel groups which will then carry out revolutions and various other subversive activities in foreign lands because you were told it was "in the interests of " the United States of America? You ready to pull security for a known bad guy because the other bad guy is worse and you are told you need the help of one to eliminate the other? Are you willing to train a foreign militia fighter who goes rogue and sells information to people who will then try to use it to kill you while you sleep? Are you willing to supply medical aid to villagers who are harboring known terrorists because you were told it would help "win hearts and minds?"

I remember when I first joined and was in boot camp.

You get these guys (usually white) who are in your unit but do a entirely different set of PT because they're trying to do the SEAL shyt. Like basically they come in, do boot camp, then go straight to BUDs I think.

My rack mate was one of them. His dad was a Marine captain so he was pretty much built for that shyt. Me and dude were tight from the beginning. We'd be up at night (with a couple others) doing push-ups and talking shyt. He got caught up snorting Vic's on the table with some other degenerate white kid and kicked out of our unit.

But he was a cool kid. Quiet, relaxed, just chillin even in bootcamp where you had nikkas stressing the fukk out over simple shyt.

So to me, the ones I met been pretty cool. You get the a$$hole ones but I usually be like just because you SF don't mean you can't get fukked up. They usually respected me because I could pretty much do the shyt they do except I hated running and swam like a rock

 

[Shogun]

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

What the hell kind of fukkery is this? Your deployment sounds like a Pauly Shore movie, breh.


Anyway, SOF teams are hard as shyt to get into. The physical and mental demands ae pretty extreme, and even then you still have to get lucky. I gues some can be dikks, but for the most part every experience I've had with team guys has been cool. Outside of SEALS, ODA guys are trained to integrate with and work with the local populace, so they tend to be the most culturally sensitive (unless they start shooting).

Firstly, are you a cac? That shyt is mostly for cacs. Take it from experience, that shyt not for a black man unless you're a c00n!

I was black beret before they gave it everyone.

Even the training for special ops has a racist tone to it. I've had instructors cosign and voice it to me. All that swimming and mountain phase in the cold, they know black people don't excel in that. And the satisfaction they display when they get you there.

Don't believe I specifically was called one by an instructor, but I've seen them call other recruits ******! Though it's mostly to see if you lose your cool.

See mind fukking you is a big part of training, maybe more than physicality. That sleep deprivation is the worst.

I was going to go green beret so I started talking to a few and checking it out. I wanted Delta, but what I saw made me fukk yall cacs.

The 3rd phase of Ranger is in a town called Dahlonega Georgia... that cac shyt. Natives there will call you a straight ****** and Tha Chain is just

For real though...no real nikka has any reason to go special ops. That's for fools who got sonned while kids and super patriots from Butthole, Kansas. They gassed me up just to get me to go ranger when I was young and dumb. But that shyt didn't last. fukk being round all them damn cacs...

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

i'd rather air force, i've always wanted to fly. but airborne drops sound fun and addictive

 

[Hagendas]

If your fitnes is not near Olympic level athlete forget it
if your mentality and resolve is not strong as iron forget it
If you can't think on your feet or outside the box forget it
Also if you can't even pass basic forget it

But then again I'm in British army you yanks have like a whole lot of different special forces

Breh that's not even the HALF of it. I've literally got stories for DAYS

'are they seen as the creme of the crop in the military'

mufukka are you retarded? you don't need to be in the military bc you seem to lack intelligence judging from your responses.

OP isn't even cut out to ask the question, let alone entertain the thought of SF lmao

but I've worked with two guys who were SF
some of the best people I ever met

you will meet the best and worst people of your life in the military, and you see how you you need both in every hardship you face.

OP is really on that fantasy shyt... SF brehs operate on a different wavelength. I actually probably could've done it but that whole lifestyle is just not something you ever come back from. Maybe after life kicks me in the face a few more times or that war with NK actually does happen. In the meantime, just embrace the idea that you can go home and sleep at night. Get cozy. Talk shyt online and be like whatever.

I'll never understand how people can contain such negativity within their spirits. I hope you guys can find solace in your life one day. Talk to @Slaimon Khan Shah if you need help

I'm not even being negative. You just ain't cut out for it.

Real ones would never @ someone else for a co-sign

These dudes are born that way for the most part anyways.

If you have to ask on the coli. You aren't special forces material.

My buddy is going to ranger school, hopefully he gets out into a actually ranger unit and not just get the tab. I wanted to be a navy seal so bad when I was little. My swimming is good but those mfers damn near drown throughout training.


To the ppl who actually were in the military. What do you think the hardest SF to get into(all branches)? Or is it all just hard as fukk and I you can do one you can do them all?

seals, but they're all crazy as fukk - some more than others

one of my drinking buddies at hood was a ranger sniper. he was out there lol.... man, every once in a while he'd kinda phase out and have this look on his face. he ain't even see people as real 100% of the time

at the same time, one of friends in basic was one of the 1 in 1,000 to survive diver school. but he was a d1 athlete and through his own admission he only got in because he got 'lucky'.

and as much as everyone shyts on the airforce, pararescue is

and every so often i get attached to an infantry unit that's just old school . asked their 1sg why he was always on patrol with us once "because fukk paperwork and this rank. i joined to hit so i hit"

basically, if you're a badass by birth, or have the potential to be one, the military will bring it right out of you

or you'll go crazy cutting grass, catching flak from some 300lb female walrus and get kicked out

 

[Bugatti Biceps]

I don't know what the fuk your talking about

If you have to be told where to find this information, SF isn't for you. Maybe water reclamation specialist perhaps?
