Learned about you guys late last year and this podcast has been daily motivation to get ready to apply (support/comm). Thanks for everything!

@16:50 100% true. JCU doesn't have a podcast lol

Thank you for your service both in the military and on this channel. I'm a high schooler deciding where to go with my life and this podcast has greatly helped with my decision making. Thank you for everything and God bless you in your future endeavors.

Enjoy retirement! I’ll be following you on your other channels

You've done a lot for the next generation, AFSW or not

For all the care and effort you’ve put into this project over the years, thank you.

Thank you Sir, this channel has been an amazing source of information and motivation . I will check out your other channels !

Even though I’m not part of the Air Force community, it’s been a pleasure listening to all the candidates in the 24 pipeline. Knowing that each candidate wants to improve themselves, not only physically, but mentally each and every day and strives to be a better version of themselves tomorrow is reassuring that they are prepared for what comes in the future. We wish you good luck in the future Mr. Free. And hopefully your successor will continue on with this podcast.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you so much for uploading this. May God bless you and your family. May God bless your service to this country.

Are these 1D7 opportunities unique only to the 724th or do they exist in the other STSs, including Air Guard? Thank you.

I know for some jobs they advertise the estimated amount of time you will be tdy every year, do you have an estimated time of how much a comm person can be gone every year for tdy? How frequently does a comm person do a normal deployment at your unit?

Love hearing about commando teams

Since theyre part of 724th, are they tier 1 or just 24th?

I am not sure if this was made in part due to my request for OTC follow-up after the selection roundtable episode th-cam.com/video/38pf-uW43pM/w-d-xo.html, but it is appreciated nonetheless.

More videos on the 17STS please

What’s the song you always use in the into?

This is the best motivation for any 1Z3 to give this organization a shot. I wish we had these types of briefs when I was a young TACP. Get out there and be the best.

Hooyah Pararescue!!!

If you’re a brand new Operator that’s been on the Guard/Reserve side of the house for less than a year but has more experience as a Fed LEO(in Special Operations); can they apply for the 724 ?

Can you apply for 724th STG right after passing PJ/CCT selection and training?

I’m so proud of you Justin. It’s a true honor to call you a brother.

CCT are some studs...

One of my biggest regret was never joining AFROTC in college. Love listening to these podcasts and understanding the thought process of the candidates working towards 724 and just knowing how operators think at such a high level.

Doesn’t get cooler than this

I almost became a PJ, but alcoholism ruined that path for me. It’s something that I’m gonna always have to live with and wonder 💭 “what would my life have looked like without addiction stealing so much life from me”?

Could we please get a video with a flight medic

Would love to hear a new episode with the human performance staff on how they optimize recovery for these guys after intense periods of sleep dep. Asking as a guy going into initial pipeline who wants to maximize career longevity. Thanks ⚡️

Thank you so much.

That last part about putting work before partying. Not a downer at all man, that fires me up

Could we have an interview with a support flight medic

This podcast and particularly this series is one of the greatest hidden gems I've ever found. Im not saying its the best but I can say there is no podcast better, in regards to sof selection prep insights. Shout out to the fellas for taking time out of their sleep deprivation induced hallucinations to hop on the mic and give us their feed back.

How do you feel about the recent comments made by a former Air Force Operator that SR has no path or direction and are being used for literally nothing?

Great video, as usual! :)

If only you’d allow guard/reserve

This is badass fellow Arizona boy from Chino Valley!

At 11:09 he talks about a feeling of ‘enlightenment’ when you can just be indefinitely resilient. Where does this feeling come from? Is it something you can just do from practice? I think it was really interesting he mentioned that and it would help me a ton if I can do this in selection

I love the podcast my dream is to be a PJ I'm finishing my Bachelor's in nursing and the rescue academy but the problem is that I'm not an athlete but hope to try out one day

Fantastic interview, Trey & Tim. Even as someone not in the career field, there's plenty to take with me.

Aspiring Green Beret here. I was medically rejected from AFSW, but I still listen to this podcast all the time while I continue to train for SFAS. Thank you, Mr. Free for continuing to make episodes, and thank you to all the candidates for being so genuine and descriptive of your experiences. As someone stuck in the medical clearance phase for over a year now, this podcast helps me stay motivated and to not overlook the less obvious qualities like grip strength (seems to get emphasized A LOT), and the mental/personality attributes. This podcast inspired me to join a climbing gym and to train Jiu Jitsu, rather than just lifting weights and running/rucking. I'm quite bored in my civilian day job, driving around and drilling holes in walls, but the podcast has inspired me to find ways to keep my mind sharp and find ways to practice novel problem solving. I also find it super encouraging to hear how humble and professional the candidates are, it motivates me to stay focused on being my best, regardless of the minimum standard, so I can hopefully work alongside similar type of people one day. Don't really have any questions. Just wanted to express appreciation.

I submitted my package 2 months ago, and I am currently deployed, looking to get back home to get a call or reach back.

Interview for a medical position coming up, thanks.

This is super helpful!

Will more of these kinds of episodes be produced? I find them very informative and helpful.

What an excellent presentation. Thank you

Wish I could cross train to tacp but I take ssri’s

wow i would love more videos about SR pipe line and mission sets

Any of these Air Force pukes go to Ranger school ?

Would you be able to do one on some support jobs like OSI in the org as well? Great videos

Thank you for making these podcasts, they’ve been incredibly helpful. I recently submitted my application and I’m glad to hear some recent 1D7 experience. Sounds like exactly what I’m looking for.
