  1. Former 3/75 guy here. This is all very good info, to a point, but what’s being left out is that, at the end of the day, getting through the suck and the unpredictability of either the pipeline or actual mission has way more to do with willpower and the mind than any of this. Sure, it will lay a good foundation, but if you have “tiny heart syndrome”, you’ll eventually quit. On the other hand, even if you’re hurting and suboptimal, with heart, you’ll finish. This used to be known and taught by every operator, but it seems in recent years there has been a push to “out science” everything. That’s not where it’s at; it’s rather the doggedness of the human soul. No merely physical training program will help you push through the pain of bloody feet, or the isolation and exhaustion of being turned around during night land nav and running late on the clock, it won’t really even help you 14 miles into a ruck run in the Georgia heat. The only thing that’s going to make a difference between you and the quitters at that point is having heart. Yes, prepare physically, but know that is a much smaller portion of success in RASP/SFAS and the following pipeline than developing the right mindset.

  2. That is their job, that is part of routine and training.
    They get paid to be a soldiers, special ops.

    We have mouths to feed.

  3. Good vid, same about the tosh discussion.
    (besides, EVERYBODY knows the toughest guys out there have 50+ years of working construction while leading a secret life as SAS-DragonNinja. Prove me wrong..)
