Solid Alexander bring out album why you have lots of eye balls 🙂😉🧠
As a Canadian, it's fascinating to learn what our own special forces actually do, especially when they're right up the road from me. Love your show Ryan!!
I've seen several of your interviews and I have to say that you are one of the best. You ask the right questions, know when to pry further (not only for your understanding, but the listeners) and when not to but most importantly you give everyone time to think of responses and provide them. I look forward to listening/watching a lot more interviews in the future. My sincerest appreciation for your service and providing excellent unrestricted content. Cheers!
Brilliant shoot...
Q:for Dallas... If you were the Poo-Bah..what kit does CFOR, and
the forces need to be more effective?
Dedicated C-130s,Little Birds?...V-22s?...etc.
Canadians will kick up a scuffle. Hockey is our sport...just watch. We dont have the money, but we have the bones.
Gotta love how a good ole Canadian, is not sitting and bragging like a sidewalk commando! Great humility and it's a part of why JTF2 is one of the world's best!
as a canadian this comment made me smile haha fuck yeah man, great attributes to have.
They don’t do shit. They don’t even deploy. No actual experience.
Strong, patriotic, silent, professionals.. God Bless em
Silent and deadly

I moved to Canada late 2021 from Afghanistan and I had the honour of working with the Canadian armed forces for as an interpreter however, Hopefully one day I will be serving in the proud Canadian army as a Canadian citizen 🫡🇨🇦
god bless you bro love from manitoba 🇨🇦
You can apply as a permanent resident now
Don't feel proud the Canadian military is a joke don't waste your time.
Welcome! Thank you for helping our armed forces, sir.
It would be An honour to have you serve.
As a proud Canadian. Thank you for your service and thank you for doing this interview. 🇨🇦
Aint no reason to be a proud Canadian and who and what exactly is being served?
@@Iron936 If you live in Alberta there is. Even with our current government and how far society has declined, I’ll take Canada over anyplace else.
@@ipsc2alpha totally agree. Born and raised Alberta but am in BC now. Even with how bad the current government is I would still pick Canada over anywhere else.
@@Iron936 The Canadian public. Did you not watch the vid?
Dont worry, they are not fighting for you, just like C19 vaxx is not good for your health... there is nothing to be thankful for
One of my good friend's father was in JTF2 and deployed 4 times. He told me that he barely knew how to swim and they had an exercise in the water with weights... he made himself drown 2 times back to back and just because of that - he passed that test because they didnt care about his swimming ability as much as his fearlessness
Gods damn... I'm in NO WAY qualified to speak on it, but it sure SOUNDS like exactly what you'd want in an operator!
Yeah, if a troop is all-go-no-quit like that...probably worth having. Keep him around and teach him to swim. :)
Your friends dad is a baki character.
Basic lifeguard training in Canada makes you swim with weight for 3mins to pass keep your ears out of the water
Sounds like bullshit to be honest but that would be a pretty hilarious story if true
I fucking love how quiet Canada keeps out special operations community. Like....98% of people don't even know they're there, which is exactly how it should be.
That’s due to the fact that there are only a handful.
Also thanks to the fact that Canada has virtually no support structure to send troops anywhere.
Aside from the tiny tool of tier one guys, the Canadian military is a complete joke.
I think part of it is that the vast majority of Canadians could not care a lick about the military and the only time the media pays any attention to the CAF is when something bad happens.
Dude know one even knows Canada has a military
@@aaront2131 Dude, at least they "know" the difference between "know" and "no" 🤡
Well soon Canadas SF’s will become akin to the SEALs in the US, book deal then start a podcast
JTF2 has always been so secretive, but we know they’re legit tier 1. It’s a real pleasure to hear one talk after decades of just redacted news snippets.
I'd argue they're second only to British SAS. They're up there.
@@Flashback_Jack i mean tbh not enough is known about jtf2 to make that argument, if you wanna make that argument about more publicized tier 1 teams then by all means go ahead, but when it comes to jtf2 we just have so little details about operations and missions they’ve ran.
@@liamreed8636
I know enough about Canadian commandos' past to make an educated guess about their present capability. Canadian commandos have a long established reputation of being fearsome fighters--in many cases the tip of the spear in combat. Combined with the record for the world's longest snipe was a decisive victory against Delta Force in a training exercise and they were the preferred coalition partners in Afghanistan. They fucked the Taliban up something good!
@@Flashback_Jack "the world's longest snipe was a decisive victory against Delta Force" dude, stfu
@@MrCdrant
Are you that illiterate? LMFAO!
It's great to hear the details about this. Most Canadians, myself included, are clueless about requirements, let alone the differences between the units. I hope this inspires future generations of Canadians to aspire to this level of expertise.
Problem is who wants to go to war for a nation that wants to suppress its people.
Many Americans are extremely patriotic, but have zero desire to serve under the current administration or leadership due to the political agenda
@@JohnSmith-ei6sc I think he is referring to the selection course and assaulter training which you can't find in an internet search, you patronizing pr*ck.
Like learning about Delta, sure there is a decent about of info (and misinformation) you can find online, but actually hearing it come from Pat Mac or Dale Comstock is a whole other thing.
I agree completely that this was an inspiration and hope as well great men like these will inspire the citizens and soldiers of both our countries for many years to come.
@@JohnSmith-ei6sc Google sucks for factual information.
@@JohnSmith-ei6sclol settle down kid. Those fitness requirements on google literally tell you nothing about the selection process.
Even in his interview, he doesn't go into a whole lot of detail about the selection process, but it's definitely more than what we've heard before
Shawn is the best interviewer..Calm, Laid back, never interrupting…Always Respectful of His Guests & His Viewers ❤🇺🇸
Is bet hes been in hundreds of insanely stressful situations so a podcast must feel pretty relaxing to him
How you meet a actual JTF2 warrior and got him to a interview is extraordinary, i love this channel bless our warriors ❤🇨🇦
Devon Larratt should be next
after 5 years most of us will acknowledge we were part of it ... but it will be 50 years before we can say much about what we did while in ... 26 years to go for this guy ... and then I can only cover 2 years worth of Canadian deployment ... the rest has to wait for it to clear the country of origin ..
I use to work for the Canadian Coast Guard and I am lucky to say that I was able to watch, train and work with the JTF2 on March 26 - 29th 2006. We did a 3-day exercise with 55 members of JTF2 where we had them aboard our icebreaker with 4 Ribs on our welldeck on the west coast of Vancouver Island. 3 days we followed the HMCS Algonquin. I was the helmsman and was able to watch them plan with real-time intel on how they were going to storm the Algonquin. We launched their Ribs and the four of them ran up alongside our ship. I was steering the Sir Wilfred Laurier with four 4 ribs along the Starboard side the fourth Rib was the furthest down ship and got caught in the stern wake and ended up capsizing the Rib. We went into rescue mode and had them aboard in minutes and the heavily injured members were airlifted within minutes. Some of the members of JTF2 a week before had just rescued US hostages in Iraq. I have mad respect for these guys.
A reminder that training can often be as dangerous as the real thing! Glad CCG was on hand for the assist.
Sounds like they were shit
The west coast of The Island is no joke. Thanks for watching out for everyone out there.
I always hated that part of the training ... be out of place too much and your hamburger .. and you put your team at a disadvantage ... not sure which was worse the potential death or the sense of failure supporting your family
Not for nothing... but weren't you ever told your interactions with... and knowledge of specific operations or training... with the unit was classified and not for public discussion?
I knew two guys that made the team. They where the most fit, intelligent, down to earth men I have ever met. Absolutely team players .
That's the most important thing. It's not about the best guy's it's the right guy's
@@mikefitzpatrick43 There's a reason why JTF2 were the first foreign Tier 1 team to be invited by JSOC in Afghanistan. I've met former Tier 1 from both Canada and the US and to look at them and meet them in R:L, you'd never knew they were the dangerous weapons they are, unlike some SAS ;) lol But Canada is the most secretive most likely.
I worked with a guy who applied for JTF, and had to go around his chain of command to do it.
Got invited to selection.
Came back, was convinced be failed. Said he came back feeling like the dumbest guy on the planet,and there was no way they'd choose him.
2 weeks later he got a call that he passed selection. And once he finally left for the unit/course, never saw or heard from him again.
...Absolutely the most normal looking, down to earth guy you could meet. Comes across as average among average.
Hope he's doing well 🍻
@@swh0rd682 i believe it. The books I've read about them and the one thing in common i noticed is that none of them boost and always say they we're the least talented guy's in their unit's. Most think the're arrogant but i don't see it. Humble but lethal men
@@chrisburke624 Yep, saw similar couple of times. You talk to them before, they show interest then they go poof and they go grey man. Retired now, run into some, all they will say is they got in, did X years.
Don't care what people say about the Canadian army but JTF2 is one of the best and most secret units. I've seen many go to selection that would smoke everyone in our recon units or other special units and would come back tails between their legs. Much respect for those in the units and what they can do. In Afghanistan these guys were legends and they put the fear of death on the Taliban. Much of what was said I've heard so much about and even now I know next to nothing about the unit even with friends being part of it. It's just one of those things you never talked about even after retirement. I'm surprised you got him to talk on camera about JTF2
they are tools and they committed atrocities in Afghanistan you fool
Not so secret now he gave away the location of the teams smfh
@Chris Brunette it's not a secret where they are in Canada. The Hill is known by all
@Abe Froman says a lot about the SAS as they train a lot together...
@@taxi615 dont train together they get trained .
He gave no specifics but painted such a vivid picture. Great interview. Thank you for your service 🇨🇦
It's ironic that the mental resilience that they tested for in selection ended up being the thing that caused him to have to leave. Something for the leadership to reflect on and for Dallas to be proud of.
boy over the last 20 years the US military lost so much experience. From shifting warfare units to police units in iraq. Lessons passed down all the way from WWII lost.
The same thing is happening in the Australian special forces, the hardest hit being the SASR, after the best of the men were dragged through the media. It's a big problem in the intelligence agencies too, where the top shelf operators are one and the same more often than you'd think.
Why did he leave?
@@michaeljames6817 refused to be forcibly vaxxed, from what I understand.
@@RedTeufel 7
Appreciate how rare it is to get any information about JTF2 and you will realize how fascinating this interview is.
Seeing people recognize the hard work, dedication and sacrifices of Canadian forces instead of the typical disrespect Canada receives is heartwarming.
These are our men and women of the armed forces, they are what makes us strong and free 🇨🇦
From Vancouver BC just finished my application and basic training with the CAF happy to serve my country
Just for anyone curious about the domestic element since the video ended, the Canadian equivalent of US federal domestic agencies, like the FBI, is combined and called RCMP. RCMP has their own hostage rescue teams called ERT (Emergency Response Teams), in addition some of the metro PD have their own dedicated teams too. If JTF2 is being called in domestically, something has likely gone real bad - but they're never publicly mentioned as deploying domestically, so they likely just show up untagged to assist ERT already on site. The only time JTF2 has publicly deployed inside Canada was as part of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, their inclusion in the security plan was considered a major asset for Vancouver.
Sadly, the RCMP have lost a ton of respect in the last decade or so.
Poor leadership and politics have reduced the Force to a national embarrassment.
@@smithwesson7765 they went woke. Straight up
@@smithwesson7765RCMP has cleaned up a lot in recent years actually. Trudeau gave them a big funding boost.
Jtf2 deployed in North Western Alberta in the early 2000s. Interesting story that few know.
I don't know this for sure but I think they were deployed during the parliamentary shooting in 2014. I can't think of any other unit that would be operating in civilian clothes but still wearing full balaclavas to protect their identity.
I’ve only known 2 people who were JTF2. Some commenters on here were saying Dallas was tight lipped but he said more about training and ops than either of my friends in the years I knew them. I’m surprised he talked so freely. Both of the guys I know were humble and knew their assignments in everything they did. Never complained, always professional.
🤣ya, I don't think people understand. Generally speaking Dallas was pretty tight lipped but he said more about JTF2 then what members of the CAF usually ever hear about.
He got in shit for this video though
Glad to know that you guys are out there for us 🇨🇦👍
Without a doubt brother
They probably have shorter shelf life then the Americans. Where there is push to be career soldiers Canada probably runs shorts shelf life's and less pressure to run up the chain as career.
I worked at BW for a while on a DOS training contract and saw these guys training there at least once a year. It was always impressive when they would show up, they would basically take over the compound but were always awesome to work with for any range conflicts.
Lots of our units training at BW. Our CP and CSOR as well
interesting interview. I was in the Canadian military in the 80s, and I loved it, but I can see now that I never would have passed this course, my mindset was in need of correction. I have done some work on this since and my life is better for it. These guys are necessary for our country like it or not.
Similar thing for me. I scored in the bottom half of my basic training course, not because I wasn't fit or couldn't do military drills, but because of my mindset. I was still too much of an individual even though I passed with flying colours in everything else.
Good to see a JTF2 Guy open Shawn's eyes wide with excitement because JTF2 includes hostage rescues of civilians!
Dallas, not sure if you read the comments, but you make me a proud Albertan. You're a true warrior

the most believable senior NCO interaction I've ever heard. Require that vital information goes through them and then they forget to pass it along in a timely manner.
Jtf2 is tier 1. A usa general said when he had to call for units to do raids. He would choose jtf2 everytime.
That was a navy seal commander
@@derek89273 that's the polar opposite of what i said. Erik said it was said by a general i said it was a seal team commander. 1. There's a video of said commander saying so. 2. Watch the video.
@@derek89273 don't ask me bro i donno the guy watch the video for yourself or do some research.
@@joshodell6703 Said by an Admiral, he said they were his first choice for any direct action.
Maximum respect to any and all who are in this line of work as a Canadian. I’m always impressed of just how down to earth these men are. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you for your service JTF2 much respect from a CANADIAN
Thank you for the Canadian showcase! I am proud of our military personnel and have a second hand experience from a mate who played OPFOR for a training exercise. harrowing. Cheers.
Couldn’t be more proud to be Canadian. Thank you gentlemen for your service
This guy has made me proud to be a Canadian. Thank you Dallas. ❤
My buddy Mike retired from the Military a few yrs ago and worked for DND after, he told me stories of these guys, not bragging stories, just about how regular they look out drinking at the bar, or just walking around on base, how they weren't like the US guys bragging or being loud and cocky, and how you would never tell by looking at them they are stone killers, but he said the confidence they had just sitting around having a drink was obvious to guys like us from the neighborhood they aren't fucking around.
Most don't even have ranks or ranked private or maybe corporal. They're unsearchable even from within. They don't exist.
Thank you for your service. I love my home and life here and I thank you for protecting that.
That running story about hurting his knee, and falling behind, with staff telling him to quit is hilarious. We had something similar during my BMQ. They took us outside in the night for PT (some idiot didn't lock his barrack box), and they made us hold the pushup position for a long time. It was early January in Quebec, and it was freezing. Instructors walked through our ranks asking who wants to sign their release forms, and that they can be home in their warm bed the next night, and partying at the club with their friends that weekend. 90% mental, 10% physical. The people who stay have the mental fortitude, and that's what they want. You can work on physical, but if your mind isn't in the right place, you can be an Olympic athlete and still be a cluster fuck when it counts.
As a comparison, I enlisted in The Forces in 1976 and we had a recruit company of 105 souls.
At the end of the 13 weeks of basic in Cornwallis, 33 were selected for infantry school in Wainwright Alberta. After a further 13 weeks, 13 recruits were successful in the course.
I went to 3PPCLI in Victoria.
Of course my training was not even close to what Dallas was exposed to.
No fear 7765,
We went in a year after you...We were the first dedicated Combat Arms course in the '''valley''...(Yeah think maybe you'd want to separate the city clerks from the grunts near the woods?...Da?)
We started in the winter, with something like over 130...ended with 35.
I was voted in Platoon senior for the last 7 weeks.
We were declared the best course to pass through those gates at Cornwallis in the previous 10 years...(We were the only Platoon that left ego behind and didn't fight amongst each other...the 🔑?...fall down, slap on the back humour....just keep her laughing dogs.)
We knew we were good...
Most of us went 2 Paddy with a couple of RCE, Armour...and two 'Chickens''
🐔🐔.
The mindset?...
A few of the cats dad's were airborne and were on a mission- mega aggressive and wanted to emulate and get their wings ASAP.
The rest of us?..Pathfinder?...if we go to war...... All we wanted was Germany with a passion, with a side of Cyprus.
All our corporals were all severely pissed rebadged Maritime Black Watch, who'd just lost their kilts to old F*ing Trudeau....(My WW2 RCAF instructor dad's side is 1790 Cape Breton Scots.)
They all urged me. F* the paras..'If you want Germany...we'll get you Anti-tank.''
To make this long l book short...we went into the field with a Scottish Regt fresh out of Co. Armaugh...some how, some where I picked up two freakin serious viruses... turned yellow...went into iso in hospital, went from 210.. down to 150....you kidding me?....7 months light...accepted to university in Guelph...took it...and out.
Life long dream..ever since I was a little rat?...Toast...finished...gone...no Victoria Cross for me.
Slain te'🥃
Good health to you and everyone close.
Fear no man!!!
One dude came to our unit with jtf recruiting. He was a monster. He said he tried out 3x and had to lose weight. He was too jacked. When I saw him he must of been 350 and 6'6. What a tank. His opening words were there are no Sylvester stallones or Arnold swartznegers in the jtf lol. He was buddy same thing as terminator lol
Funny I know EXACTLY who you’re talking about! 😁
They pump roids like no tomorrow.
Lol. 😁
As a Canadian, this was a very interesting interview. Thanks you two!
I served as a LRS and my team participated in several joint operations alongside JTF2 in Afghanistan during 2006. It was an exceptionally tumultuous period, still amazed I survived it.
"It doesn't matter if you can do 200 pushups, they're gonna ask you to do 202..."
That's some real shit right there.
Shawn is dope. I only started watching this year but he’s so chill and you can tell he knows how to talk to these guys. When they seem to pull back he knows how to remind them that he’s been in the shit too.
Good friend of mine.. trained for years for JTF 2 .. went on selection and quit on day 1. The guys that make it are real warriors
He must've been a beast physically, but mentally didn't have it??
Huh? @@na-dk9vm
A friend in high school trained every day running for miles , his dream was to be a pathfinder in the Canadian army. He told me about the cross country race while carrying a full pack , snow shoes, and a canoe. I hope he made it.
Great interview, thank you kindly.
JTF2... one of Canada's Crown Jewels. God bless the troops
Dallas is very impressive! Great interview.
Great video! Thank you for continuingly fighting for the world's freedoms and please once again run for office!!
I worked with a JTF-2 assaulter who was a Navy Boatswain. Fantastic.
Hey Shawn I like the clips this size. 30 minutes on a certain topic. That way I don’t have to start the long full podcast every time if I want to hear parts of this man’s story.
You could always just select the topic you want from the main video as well… he breaks everything down into clips there then transfers to a sub channel
This makes me proud to be a Canadian, for years I've heard countless interviews with operators on training and recruitment for SEALS DELTA SAS etc, seeing our operators and what they go through makes me proud.
The sniper episode specifically reminds me of the Jody Mitic biography I read and the similar training and experience he had.🇨🇦🇧🇲❤️
Best guest I have ever seen on your show - thanks
I watched a lot of these specifically this Canadian guy an I can't watch em no more so I just listen. I was a soldier nowhere near as the class act he is, but I was royal engineers and this was early 90s we had the Falklands guys who were legends and then the special operations guys 59commando an 9para and they were so switched on it made me a better soldier, but then there was some who u could just see the pain in their eyes and it physically hurts me to see people who have been to some of the darkest places most of us will never see , its almost like they have it written on their forehead they are that recognisable.
Thanks to all you lads who did this so the rest of us soldiers could do the job we had to do behind u, yep my job was dangerous but safe because of these guys , thank you 🫡
Got to support these guys in a certain country as just a regular soldier. Absolute professionalism and badasses all around.
So cool to see the change in you Shawn since your DMT experience, the way the conversation flow feel so organic now and you can tell your present. Proud of ya man!
Amen!
I lived in Ottawa in 1984. I took the bus around 5am to the construction site I worked at. I remember once about 20-30 guys running across the road, all kitted up by the base. I wasn't used to seeing that...large armed men running across the road at night. They were fearsome.
Thank you for your service! 🇨🇦
I live 10 minutes from the "Hill". Had next door neighbors, and hockey team mates who were/are part of JTF2. Great guys!
Dallas thank you for everything you and your brothers did to protect and keep us safe . this comment is no where near enough for thanks but its the best I can do .
One of y best friend was in JTF2 couples years ago and I tried very very hard to get some stories from him but he dont tell anything about it... Respect! 😅
Shawn
I love how you interview people . Its very respectful and patient and just the right amount of you speaking . You get your guest to bring it .
To my fellow Canadian ... So proud of you guys and girls who stand guard for us .
We really dont want to talk too much about Canadian badassness.
Our POLITENESS is legendary.
Yeah, we say Thanks to the ATM

My son wants to join CAF... he's Ojibway... and he's growing up in the elements... I want him to succeed... he's a tough boy... it's just up to him if he wants to be there in the moment... I'll get him ready
Twice in my life I had the opportunity to meet a jtf2 member and they were so humble and down to earth.
Good times.
The difference is, IDF do the SF selection before we go to the army.
About the age 17 - 18.
Shortest is 2 days for the airborne brigade. Longest is 5 days for navy seals and few more units (I finished but didn't got in).
Personality inventory or personality tests are extremely accurate in predicting how well you perform in specific situations… including dirt nap camp.
No dude they're not. You can take full courses that deconstruct how inaccurate personality tests are. AFAIK the only scientifically validated ones or at least ones trusted by psychologists are the Big 5, Dark Triad, and maybe HEXACO. Behaviour that described the traits comprising these tests have been tested, validated, and replicated yes, but they're not "extremely accurate in predicting how well you perform in specific situations." Most tests in selection processes within organizations are used holistically with other assessments to detect outliers and weed out candidates who do not fit a profile, not to predict behaviour. If you're able to pass the selection, they won't need to predict anything they'll just put you in actual hot shit and assess you further.

Shawn Ryan sounds like a professional interrogator. If I wanted to know everything on someone, I’d have the same approach like listening and being laidback while asking my questions. Pressure would be very subtle and gentle. The key is making the interviewee calm and confident while establishing a baseline. I’d tell him everything.
I went to high-school with guy who went on to join jtf2 he never told a single story from any deployment though staffing to get a glimpse into how amazing these men are. Also I was talking to an intoxicated Navy SEAL at a bar in San Diego one time and when I told him I was Canadian he told me that jtf2 was his first choice of global SOF forces he would work with if he could choose.
He was probably just kissing *ss.
Of course the SEAL was talking up a storm
There are 4 levels of requirements. The first level as he described, will be what determines if you're selected. After that, you must still pass the others, including additional physical training before fully being implemented into the JTF2
Back in the 70’s my father was part of the Royal Canadian Special Response Team which was the precursor to the JTF he was also ships marksman
The predecessor to JTF2 was the RCMP ERT/SERT, not the name you mentioned. But that maybe just due to a lost in translation over the years.
@@CDNR711 nope and those are his words not mine I have his records most of it is declassified there are a couple stories he’s told that aren’t in there but I have no reason not to believe him. I asked him once what they called themselves he said the Orcas I said why’s that his response was because Orcas eat seals
Airborne was the elite in Canadian military unit ,then they ran into confusion in Somalia, unit disbanded, went to PPCLI , then went quite for awhile, then these boys suddenly appeared
@@seansalter1679 no they weren’t the old man talked about Hilo jump training with me and how they also trained with other teams
@thehashmonkey The special response team was tasked with domestic threats and was in charge of the security during Olympic games alongside with the RCMP. The Airbornes were the elite soldiers of the country at the time. After being disbanded, a lot of the Airbornes became instructors for JTF2 and CSOR because they had an outstanding amount of skills and knowledge to pass on. The Airbornes are the fathers of the assault special forces we have today. A lot of the Airbornes who remained in service for a long time were occasionally tasked to go train JTF2 and CSOR. Don't ask me how I know this because I won't tell ya.
Just enough information to add to the mystery of this unit without giving away the farm! I'm so proud of these guys!
love are northern brothers ! god bless them all and carry on.
JTFX is the Intelligence/ Source handlers of the CAF. I didnt recall it being mentioned... selection is different but has many overlaps.
I believe that JTFX isn’t part of CANSOFCOM. But, it’s directly responsible to the CDS and employed/deployed as seen fit.
Can someone give some credit to S Ryan... man the guy just knows how to get best information possible!
Shawn Ryan, your channel(s) are awesome! 🍻🍻🤠🤠👌👌
My cousin was joint task 2. Sadly he’s passed on from his service.
Uh huh 🤨
I'm doubting that
He smoke any hajies?
This is awesome stuff.
great video. About to begin my studies here in Canada and I plan to join the Canadian Army in the future.
Amazing interview and excellent directed questions with a respect attached !
As a Canadian whose great uncle was in .428 RCAF squadron during WW2 also known as "Ghost squadron" look it up, they were elite bombers. I love the fact that we have really well trained and high level special forces regiments that r seriously badass makes me proud to be Canadian.

Lol i was gonna say thats bams bro
he listens and guides...great leadership I see props man!
PPCLI. God bless everyone of you.
Sounds like a good method for recruitment. Good physical and mental shape, give it a shot.
Probably why they allowed this, I guarantee is to try and get more recruits, It’s working on me honestly if that’s the case.
this gives me goosebumps. was never expecting to find anything like this. _no joke_ = *JTF2*
Sitting Talking is a great thing.
I think they also have or had old plane fuselages and would get volunteers from the military playing the roles of both sides. I lived near Dwyer Hill and knew someone who was ranked lower member taking part in a hostage situation. He was blown away, and even scared at how serious it got. JTF2 is a boss.
You should have a former FFL guy interview
French Foreign Legion. Jaco willik did
Dallas is my godson, and 1st cousin. Very proud of his accomplishments. From being a male model and bank teller to this, very cool.
@@guyincognito8440 I really don't think we should disparage anyone for their employment. Or lack of employment. I think they're simply saying they are proud of the progression from those jobs to this one.
Lol I love 10 minutes from Dwyer hill and the number of times I’ve been driving home and seen convoys of trucks all with their high beams on with big tarps covering the beds and trailers
@ShawnRyanClips SASR (Australia) used to be the same as far as recruitment. Any of the three branches, any job and regular or reserve units could do Selection. With the advent of the new "Barrier Testing", I am not sure if they are still recruiting with such a wide net.
Great to see a video like this about one of the most secretive Commando units in the world. So rare to hear anything about them. Thanks for the video.
In Canada, secret means Secret !!
I am a firm believer that the guys that are picked are:
1. specifically skilled in a specific role that is needed at the time. 2. Someone who is truly not phased by taking a life. 3. Physical specimens with strong genetics
The best of the best all seem to be guys that you would never suspect of being the best.
I live close to Dwyer hill
Thanks fellas.
Yup. I’m in CP. Go by every day on the way to O-town. Always wanted to see inside their fences but I like life. Lol
I was in the infantry army for a bit, I knew a few people who went through selection. None of them made it and they were known to run laps around people all day...So the members they recruit are no joke . Heck I know one member, Devon Larratt he is retired but was a member look him up and u make your decision based off him
Great video!
When you see the few interviews that are out there with JTF2 guys you quickly realize why there's so little information out there about them. These guys are always calm and collected, not like the hothead operators you see in movies. They're not the type to brag or boast about their experiences. I assume that's part of the pysch eval.
Great interview!
These guys are as good as Delta, Seal team 6, SAS, SBS, US Marines Recon, Aussie and Kiwi SAS. SOC ( France) German KSK, Sayeret Martel (Israel).
I worked with a Special Forces Canadian on a construction project.
On a super hot day he took his shirt off and he was stitched with bullet holes and knife scars. Looked like a voodoo doll, I have no idea how he survived all that. Most of his platoon didn't come back from their mission.
At the time Canadian Special Forces didn't officially exist so life just went on when you got back and no one knew what all these guys had done.
Wasn't jtf2 though, right?
