Hi, I’m a woman in her 20s and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted. What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? If you had to go to BUD/S again, how would you prepare differently? What books or workout programs would you recommend? Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course. Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures.

As a former TACP, it was the best thing I ever did. At the same time it was the worst thing. I never knew a body could hurt like that, lol. No matter how much it hurt and no matter the challenge, I loved every minute of it. You have to be physically fit, intelligent (you have no idea how much they stuff into your brain during the classroom stuff), but the most important thing is a mental fortitude you don't find in the average person. When you can't do any more, you have to have the mental toughness to push through it. When I want through the course, generally they would start 22 and graduate 4-6, on average. Since all these different units were generally assigned to the Army, the Air Force had a policy that no operator would ever fail in front of the Army, so the training was brutal. You could go to Army schools such as Airborne, Air Assault, Ranger, SFAS, Pathfinder, MFF, Scuba, depending on the unit you got assigned, so you did not fail it. On top of all that, if you got accepted to STS the training was even at a higher tempo.

@@ToniMihelcic The schools you have opportunities to attend are based on the Army units you get assigned. Now, with that said, I don't know how they are doing things these days. I've been out for a while. The TACP pipeline training currently is TACP School, Airborne, survival school, and JTAC qual. I think you come out of the training a 5-level. After that it's dependent. I think if you are in an STS the SF units take you at face value. I just looked at last year's school opportunity list and SFAS is not on it. Sorry, didn't mean to get your hopes up.

One day you will probably make it on over to the large screen making war movies such as Band of Brothers and Platoon especially with your background and professionalism. War is a reality and something that will always exist in today's world and thus the reason why the training is so intense. My father was Army special forces back in the 50s and he did his whole contract in Germany during the Cold War after training at Ft. Benning. .

It's all in your head, your body capable to about four times than you think. The real limit is beyond exhaustion and muscle pain, it where the muscle become numb and stops reacting to a nerve system signals, as if you became paralyzed. It's a unique experience, and it's far beyond any imaginable limit. I'm in my late 40s, smoking and a bit overweight, and I still can outperform more yang, sportive, but unprepared guys on a shier power of will, it costs, of course, in a means of aftermath, but I still can. When you pass the SF training, it changes your state of mind about yourself forever. Tier 1 is for life.

my dad wants me to go into Air Force and I want to go into marines, so I guess I'll just try to get into the Air Force special operations. :) thanks Sam for making this video.

Dude the battlefield surgery unit is something I haven't seen before. That was so sick. Incredible development in the area of paramedic military service. The concept "walking bloodbank", and having a mobile surgery on hand would be absolutely critical to save as many lives as possible. Man, imagine living in Russia and seeing how the Americans operate, it must actually fucking sting to see this when their version of this is to gift the wounded a bullet to the head to end their misery. It's like comparing a hellhole to heaven.

Band camp? Cyber school? Loadmaster training? Behavioral health professions? There is a lot to do besides being a pilot.

Thia is awesome stuff. Not only that you really spend a day in the life but also just how much has to be left out. I mean this with zero disrespect. (My family is mostly former airforce, which I'm very proud of.) Seeing how little we're actually allowed to see is just a verification of just how far ahead our armed forces are compared to everyone else! I'll stand up for that everyday.

Cod player vet here (on hard mode!). Looks like a bit of a challenge but it is like they say about the 40% rule: When your mind is telling you that you're done, that you're exhausted, that you cannot possibly go any further, you're only actually 40% done. The human mind is an amazing thing.

My dad just retired from the USAF as a TACP, and my grandpa was in the 24th STS. I know some of the most badass people on earth are from AFSOC. Most people tend to focus on SEAL's or Rangers, but AFSOC is honestly the best that there is. Keep it up!
