I think it would be valuable to hear his story of being ‘blown up’ so that people interested in these careers can hear the potential realities of what can happen and not just the cool fun stuff.
Appreciate the podcast as always
If possible, get some more SR guys on the podcast. As it's a "newer" career field, there is hardly any information out there.
I second that! I'm super interested in SR but there are maybe a couple of paragraphs worth of data out there on the web and this podcast is the only place I've seen literally anything from someone with first hand experience. They've given us more data here than you can collectively get across the internet.
I second this though I’m not sure there’s much they can publicly say about SR rn, partly because of the clandestine nature of their missions and also because it’s still fairly new so they’re likely still figuring a lot of it out as well.
Lars Strudwick I second this , would love to hear some people who have gone through pipeline
I'll add my name to the pile that wants to know more about SR. Without giving too much information is it basically sneaking around in the woods or urban environment with a very small team collecting information? Basically an expansion of (what little I know about) SOWT?
Also, what is the difference between Air Commandos and Special Tactics? Or are they the same thing?
I got a 75 on my ASVAB. With Brian’s logic I’m basically guaranteed to complete the pipeline
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you in the team room. 😎🦉
update?
@@ryandickson2224he flopped.
Been listening for a while, training hard (beapj), reading and remaining prayerful. Thank you for everything; this podcast is a true blessing.
I’ve grown up in satélite beach, right down from Patrick AFB. If Tsgt Fisher is still in town (or any PJs you guys know) I would be honored to go for a surf and grab a coffee with them. I’d really like to just sit down and talk.
God bless
Trent looked so hurt when Brian and Gavin said to join the army or navy to kick down doors and shoot cool guns 😂
That dude was a straight up real dude. Totally dig that.
Thoughts i had after a long day running, and swimming. Para rescue men have to be in the kind of shape that would equal to, two very physically fit men. The job is rescuing often times big men from water, mountains, battlefield. So Next time you yes You (and me) are thinking i can't train harder or a dangerous one "thats a good place, I'll train harder tomorrow or next time," You gotta remember you're training for two people. Sometimes more right Ones Ready?
I'm two hours away from my home camping in Eastern Oregon, just because theres a reservoir i can swim train in and the pool is closed, its great! Super Lonely but great! I Was even shouted out by How to be a pj on instagram today, a video from my story, Man it felt great i felt camaraderie and pride I felt America! Don't settle my friends, i think you should be like me and obsess over becoming a PJ. .training i have to force myself to not "over train". 💚
As a C-141 loadmaster, I loved opening up the ramp and watching the show, as you guys dove out the back
All 5 of you guys are incredible Americans and men. I truly hope y’all understand the unfathomable amount of respect so many people have for y’all. Any of y’all ever do any missions in Marjah?
Going to watch this later today. Just wanted to say it would be a cool video if you guys talked about the history and some of the influential people/events that brought pararescue/AFSOC to be where it is today.
Max AG second that 🙋🏽♂️
Just got briefed from a certain MSgt K at the CATM apprentice course and now I’m even more motivated to cross train into TACP! Super cool guy! He said he knew peaches when I asked
As a fellow Gavin it brings me comfort when he was real enough to say he did actually think about quitting
I know what “Getting blown up” in the gym means but it’d be great to hear a few more stories!
Loving the podcast guys! I watch with my fiance so she can get an idea of what the job is like because I don't want her going in blind about my future career choice. She was wondering when the ladies could come on so she can get an idea of what the wife life is like? Thanks for the awesome content! Keep it coming!
Story time. Let's get it. Brain i got all the reading list from your site. I didn't get the Power Score Lsat yet as the were a bit pricey but I'll continue to knock the list out. Currently on book 4. Awesome podcast Thank yall for the opportunity to get some insight on what I need to do and get into.
ONE doesn't merely "win" a Silver Star...it's awarded!
Let’s hear those story times !
Rock on!
Deffinitly wanna hear the rpg story! Love the podcast shipping to basic on the 7th next month looking forward to getting out and having a back log of ones ready to listen to thanks for everythhing you guys do its much appreciated
Thank you guys very much for what you guys do not only for our country but also creating this channel to inform the public and future AFSPECWAR service members. I am currently training to go into the Air Force with the hopes of becoming a Pararescueman.
LET'S FREAKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Stationed across the street from the 920th Rescue Wing HQ as a Personnelist. Trying to see how I can get my waivers through and submit my packet to get to swcc. Bouta go through a lot just to cross the street lol.
Story time sounds beneficial & very interesting
You guys need to get Air Force PJ Robert Disney on here. :D
Awesome episode! Quick question, how do you ruck a 15min mile pace without running? I can do a very light jog at a sub 15 all day. But I heard that you can't run during ruck marches.
Fisher was 💯. Appreciate the advice! Def down with story time guys. This podcast/video is 🔥#Trent 😂#FloridaBoysNDaHouse 😂
i love the vids! i’m going into special warfare soon and really loving the inside tips and stories! I’m looking to go into TACP or PJ, but I’m not comfortable in the water for the five courses. Any tips?
Enjoyed the facial expressions when certain acronyms and terms of art got referrenced...ie, the mongrel comment pointed to that Alternate mission set you don't talk about. Want to hear about investigating, downed, suspicious spacecraft. Full hazmat, right? #getsome #godod #AATIP
Would love to hear story time
I wonder what kind of lollipop that is in the thumbnail
My recruiter said ,"you know they are going to drowned you like 3 times right ?" Lol 😆
Get him back on!
I read somewhere that the air force is not taking prior enlisted for special warfare. Is that true?
Noooooope. Check out our page to get in touch with a recruiter
When he says 15 miles at 15 minute per mile. Does he mean strictly walking that pace, or are you allowed to run?
You should be able to stride it out unless you’re Peaches size. -T
@@OnesReady How tall is Peaches?
How similair is SFAS to A&S? Or what are the differences?
It’s pretty different. Different branch, different event, different length, different mission sets. I guess you could say it’s similar in a couple regards- grit, knowledge retention and evaluation, it’s hard, high attrition rate- but I’m not super sure what you’re asking. - A
@@OnesReady I guess I'm asking if it was modeled after it by any means. But you answered my question
Haha you'll never make it...I'll DO THAT!
Because my prick stepfather was a Marine, that's where I was headed. My mom wouldn't let me enlist at 17 without seeing another recruiter, so the Marine recruiter took me across the hall to the Air Force recruiter. SSgt Lepant was sitting with his feet on his desk spitting chew spit into a Ronald McDonald coffee cup. I chose AF anyway.
Chair Force thinks they are Rangers
Rangers call the "chair force" when they want specialist operators to save their asses when the shit pops off and one of their brothers gets mangled on the battlefield (PJs) or when they want to drop bombs on the enemy without getting blown up themselves (CCT and TACP). You can talk all the shit you want but the fact of the matter is that if the army could handle everything, AFSOC wouldnt exist, and the army wouldn't be keeping them in business now. AFSOC attaches to DEVGRU, CAG, SF, Rangers etc. If the airforce guys are such pussies, why do the Rangers work with and respect them? They also have a tier 1 unit at Hurlbert Field in Florida.
Which SOF pipeline did you make it through? Call of Duty doesn't count. Got any silver stars?
@J Brown you’re not even a Ranger, POG.
