You and greenberet chronicles are doing gods work. You two basically give the information for best practices in the prep course with out all the smoking
Glad to help 🫡
You could appear in a video talking about your opinion on the new MCX spear barrel 13.1 rifle, in 6.8x 51, 113 grain copper ammunition, 3,100 fps, talking about whether you believe that this rifle will only be adopted by the infantry or if the special forces They plan to adopt another assault rifle with another caliber, I ask you all this because this new rifle only has 20 bullets, but we have a problem, we are going to go to war with China and other countries and these countries are already producing, body armor level 3 or more for your soldiers, and currently the 556 ammunition would not serve to counteract that threat, thanks in advance 🙂@@ValhallaVFT
You don't go to SFAS to get in shape...you have to be in shape to go to SFAS. You provide a real good information. Great job.
I was in 5th SFG in 1976-81.
I was Infantry prior to SFAS. We were weighed and measured every payday for three years. I was 5' 9 3/4" every time.
After Selection (1989) I was 5' 9 1/2". Lost 1/4 inch.
I blame the Sandman.
Other than a small blister on my little toe during the last ruck, that was it for injuries.
But I TRAINED for SFAS.
DOL
I lost almost a half inch on my height, that ruck smashes your spine for sure. DOL
I heard that going through Airborne School can damage your spine to the point that you shrink like three inches.
@@darkwarriormaster9644 Spoke to a GB and a Ranger and they said the same thing!
@@darkwarriormaster9644 Erik Prince the Blackwater CEO lost 3 inches ON ONE LEG after a fall on the Obstacle Course at Coronado, which was corrected by chiropractor.
Funny how I f- up my right ankle before even joining the Army. I was running and almost got run by a bicycle, twist the ankle, second degree ankle sprain. It's been four months and it hasn't healed up, bunch of therapy sessions, but still not able to continue training.
However, keeping it positive and taking notes from your videos, thank you for the advice, this one specially I'm saving it for studying later.
you, green beret chronicles, and FNG Academy are a real help.
Nate thank you for serving and for all this valuable insight you are freely giving to aspiring green berets/operators/soldiers. This completely aligns with the research I've done on this topic of common injuries in the special operations community and I appreciate these tips on how to be proactive and mitigate the risk. I am training up for an 18x contract and I've resigned myself that this career path will entail injuries, punishment to my body and potentially death, but would really like to remain healthy through the pipeline if i can help it. I imagine a lot of solid prospects get med-dropped for injuries too severe to just grit your way through. It'd be terrible for something like that to occur late in the pipeline/Q-course when you're close to donning the green beret.
Most SOCOM units (SF, Rangers, SEALs, etc.) are initial entry. However, Marine Raiders are not, so I presume that Marines going through that course experience less injuries because they had more time to harden their bones.
Speaking to MARSOC A&S I’d say that’s accurate. At my class we only had a few guys, out of nearly 200 that started, get dropped for injuries
great info! thanks for sharing. good luck to all the young folks going out to "do work", get it!
Like you Nate, thought I could train through stress fractures. 2 years sidelined , missed the Pan Ams, lesson learned. This is great content for us civilians, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I think everybody thinks they can the first time they get them and learn that lesson the hard way
Do video on AFSPECWAR, maybe even specifically TACP and TACP officer. Food for thought, love the videos keep em coming!
Kinda surprised Knee injuries were not on the list. I would have assumed knee injuries would be common with the excess weight and rough terrain.
I took my eyepro off during land nav and scratched the skin on the corner of my eye, dodged getting dropped by millimeters. Eyepro is there for a reason
For those wondering: "rabdoe" is rhabdo aka rhabdomyolysis. Serious shit.
Nathan: I Myself , John Rodriguez, recently subscribed to Valhalla VFT , and, although I Myself AM No longer on AFMS ( Active Federal Military Service) with the United States Marine Corps and Army ( USMC and US Army) , STILL , this particular Video pertains to this Prior Service Enlisted Marine and Soldier @ 55 Years Old, because, I STILL Ruck Marching, do calisthenics, swim, and shoot. NOT only does the training help Me as a Construction Laborer, however, in prep for SHTF OPS ( Shit Hits The Fan Operations) , like 511 Tactical , I will " Always Be Ready". As for illness and injury, I pay attention a lot to bruises, bumps, broken bones, even bronchitis, because, You and I both know that , no longer being Young Men, We Older Guys take longer to heal, especially, in My Case, with Heat Injuries.
A buddy of mine went out with the stomach flu after they moved a sick guy into their hut when they combined huts going into team week, due to attrition. He collapsed with crap in his pants and stage two dehydration . Two others got sick as well and didn't make it.. Sometimes it's just bad luck. When you go, you will be with guys on their second and third tries .
I’m tryna prepare my body right now put mileage on my body I was running I’m tryna get my body use to long distances I got plantar fasciitis out for like 6-12 weeks so I’m just walking and definitely trying to stretch more
I've looked at "bulletproof knees" stretches but how much per week should I be doing this kind of mobility/flexibility?
What’s the biggest differences between being in regular army compared to being in a sf unit
Thank you for the tips. I am writing down a lot of information. Do you have any advice for dealing with the psychological traumas that can come with this job, such as losing teammates or having to do certain things? Perhaps journaling could be one of the tools.
Be a sociopath so you can compartmentalize traumatic shit is typically the easiest way.

Do you think kicking pads is a viable way to strengthen the shins and thus avoid such injuries?
what kind of ruck would you recommend training with?
Can you do a video on some Chinese mandarin, thanks
60 days...ok can do after couple of surgery my feet and lipo
Make it official ranger course.. hopefully
I live where it gets to 100°F and -10°F so I think I'll be good with the weather
This is a random question but can any 11x volunteer for airborne while in basic training or do you have to have it in ur contract.
Typically needs to be in your contract, or if you’re going to an airborne unit like the 82nd then you’ll also go.
My career was stress fractures , pain I got used too
Edit, yeah they always got worse
Do they still have log / riffle pt day in sfas? Lower back injuries were prevelant during log pt!
They did when I went but that was over a decade ago so I would assume so but don’t know.
In this video the SF guy being interviewed talks about this and that log PT has been replaced with something else but does not say what. th-cam.com/video/PqTPdvAX73Q/w-d-xo.html
You’re gonna burn a shit ton more cals in the cold days also.
I know first hand about rolling ankles at night hitting potholes doing land nav. Just rub a little beer on the ankle. You will be fine. Lol
Had some stress fractures as well. Awesome video Brother!
lol I think we all had them for sure. Thanks bro 🫡
Just prison pocket in some steel mesh chainsaw eyepro for night movements
Say more
The benefit of wearing my government issued BCGs at LRSLC😂
ROK army who went through Q course. Got mine korean american cadre there.
CADREs pay attention to those with EIB EFMB ESB and Ranger tab. Remember they are the priority to get selected.
Did your dad train you and help you prep prior to SFAS?
Yes. Growing up hunting/camping, already knew how to do land nav, also I knew everything SFAS and the q course entailed,
All stuff you can google or watch channels like mine for, but back then none of that stuff existed.
@@ValhallaVFTThank you sir. Not sure if you have one already up but you should definitely post a vid on land nav.
