"You want a Reebok deal, go to the SEALs" lmfao perfect.
😁
Almost 30, lost 100 pounds this year to join the Army. Was offered an 18x, leave in 4 days and ready to to see what I'm capable of.
Just have FTX then off to Airborne.
Just chilling at Airborne now. 3 weeks of this covid version
Broken ankle from being an idiot, just working back up. Friends got selected though and they were all around my age.
Update: I see this get comments still which is crazy to me, I apologize, I've been busy. I did not make it, which is of no fault but my own. I wouldn't tell someone that wants to go for this not to, you should always strive to be better! I have my own things I need to deal with back at home, while being deployed a few times. Hopefully the metal in my leg doesn't stop me from pursuing my next endeavor after I finish helping at home later. Rangers lead the way, yada yada haha. Good luck, work out and eat healthy!
good luck. try to keep us updated
GET SOME.
Hey me too. I just graduated basic and going to airborne real soon.🤘🔥
I'm also 30 but due to a waiver I'm gonna spend some time showing I'm worthy. Keep us updated!
@@gregfisher9169 basic training is 10 weeks alone. he'll get back to you in a few more months haha
I was one of the smallest guys in my selection class. You are right. It all about heart and attitude. It's gruelingly doable if you are in good shape, but if your head is not in the right place you won't be there in the end.
Great video guys
If you have to ask, the answer is no.
I finished SF training in 1966! I was 115 ib dripping wet. BUT - was off college wrestling - after wrestling everything is easy!
How big were you
@@claytonlachance4920 yes youll be fine. Went thru parris island and SOI wieghing 150lbs just fine.
Clayton LaChance stop worrying about your size and do it.
when I was in the army, I got the privilege of getting sent out by myself on a mission supporting(communications) a bunch of SF guys, and without a doubt they are some of the greatest guys out there man. I got close with an SF Delta LT Colonel that guy not only treated like a soldier but a son and taught me so much more than you can learn from any course from just life stuff to combat strategy and all sorts of stuff, it was a real honor support those guys, i thought i had to be one of the luckiest commo guys in the regular army.
thanks for the report
I was passed SFAS back in the 90s. I was in a line unit before I applied for SFAS for 3 years. Thankfully, that Unit Humped A LOT. We ran 5 or more miles daily. This helped me out quite a bit.
My unit in the 25th ID had a 30 ft. rope in front of our Headquarters. after PT we had to climb he rope.
I suggest everything this gentleman suggested! I suggest Rucking 12-25 miles with a 50-60 lbs ruck. get used to walking with that weight at a min.
cheat the weight, you cheat yourself.
Obviously, MY typing shows I wasn't admin. lol good luck and always remember, others have done it. Its doable. But its not for everyone.
Give it 100% everyday. Your best is all you can give so give it.
Schofield Barracks??
Best advice I was ever given is “Don’t quit. I didn’t know just how accurate that was. Don’t quit, and “Do your best”.
Thank you
At one time I thought I was a rockstar. But the ASVAB I took proved I was a groupie.
ha
LOL
Clearly... if your actually posting that...
ajcook7777 You’re. Check yourself, before you wreck yourself.
@@DevilDaRebel the universal rule for studs!
My father was a Green Beret in Vietnam (and Loas). He said during selection, you had to run 7 miles to a rock pile, grab a rock that was at least 40 lbs, and then run back. They weighed the rock, and if it was less than 40 lbs, you had to go back and get another one. He said guys grabbed huge rocks to make sure they didn't have to go back. Back then you had to be a volunteer to be asked to try out for SF school. Best of the best back then.
🇺🇸
I remember that chow line was absolutely ridiculous! My class started with 330 and we ended up with 50 something and then they only selected 38 total... One of the worst three weeks of my life...
Sounds like a June class
Yep!
Lol no wonder why you guys always seemed so pissed to watch the CA&PSYOPS AIT students pass everyone up in the chow hall line.
I bet most if not all were prior service members huh?
Great vid. Went to my friends retirement from 3rd Group on Saturday. All the guys there were nondescript, quiet, great shape, intense focus, and big hearts. It's not for everyone, but I was honored to just be invited to the party.
awesome
@Emmanuel Goldstein you are just a weak minded and soft bodied jealous hater who will never do anything in your life that will come anywhere close to what you see in this video. You wouldn't last one day in selection.
@Emmanuel Goldstein I have met ignorant fools like you over the last 75 years, I always marvel that people like you cannot hold a reasonable conversation. Your statement is evidence that you are suffering from the very thing you accuse others of. I often wonder how you and your fellow travelers would do if you really had to stand with any SF trooper I have ever known or ran with.
SFAS has 1 key to passing: don’t get hurt. If you stay away from major injuries never quit. I mean never!
Hold on now.....guy, you have to pass land nav....dont lie to the fresh meat for the grinder. They get all the wrong points...BUT SGT Grinch SAID as long as I don't quit I'm good 😅😅
Thank you guys, when I saw the SF logo and "De Oppresso Liber" on the video, I knew this was something special. My brother-in-law, John Pelham, served in 2D BN, 3D SFG (A), he was KIA on 12-Feb-2014 while deployed in Afghanistan. Thank you for your service.
Sorry for your loss.
Thank you for mentioning over-training! I was always surprised by how many guys I know of who did this, particularly the young officers for some reason. The kind of Type A, super motivated and competitive guys who want to go to SFAS are prone to doing exactly what Randall did: double up, train to often, too hard, and not give your body time to recover. If you try to simulate the ruck marches and events in SFAS, you will break yourself! Guys get stress fractures, shin splints, etc., before even going to the course. The THOR program and other workout plans posted online are a great tool, which my generation didn't have. If you know or have access to any active or retired SF guys, do not hesitate to approach them and ask for advice. Each of us is responsible for being an ambassador and advocate for SF, and helping to bring quality guys into the regiment.
I was in meal team six. Man that was tough on the bowels
no one cares MUTANT! Get over your self! You are NOTHING!
@F Knight branch, mos?
@F K - Bro your not slightly offended because your Royal Aor Force. That "joke" was intended for one of the most highly revered units in American military, PERIOD. So telling those who are serving or did serve in the U.S. to chill is just uncalled for.
Tyler Knight just to let you know I’m putting this on reddit on r/wooosh
Tyler Knight It was fukn funny, get over yourself brah
My uncle was 82nd and later made it to 5th group... truly my hero and idol even today. Nothing but love and respect to SOF, thank you all.
And what did you do Bobbie? Or was that the end of your families duty?
@@MAC-ws8fz my grandfather was 82nd AA, his brother a marine, i have another uncle who also had a full career with 3 tours in Vietnam, i have a cousin in the air force and another in the navy. I'm just a civilian working in EMS... almost forgot, a younger cousin recently signed his papers to join the Marines.
Is the 82nd considered SF? I’ve heard people refer to it as SF before but just thought it was an infantry unit.
C D No.
I used to be a Special Forces operator now I'm a marine corps drill instructor and my rank is E9
I'm not Special Forces, Ranger, or anything high speed like that, but along the lines of prepping for the weight (they talk about it around the 15 minute mark) I wore a weight vest from the time I got off work, until I went to bed everyday. That was on top of training, but just doing normal everyday activities with an extra 50 lbs paid off a lot because a ruck wasn't nearly as heavy after that.
I just carry an extra 50lb on my gut ... for training purposes. Also I'm drought and famine resistant.
J Tarrence I ruck RUN with 70 pounds hooahhhh. That ruck fits differently than a vest and will hit your muscles differently. Try rucking with an Army issued ruck.
@@ashc4167
What were you preparing for?
I always wore dress socks with blister proof socks on the outside and tie my laces TIGHT before every 10+ mile RM and I got either one tiny blister or none.
Smart man, two socks are the way to go. Take care of your feet and they’ll take care of you!
I was just a Operations Specialist on a Tin Can.....you were the real deal, thanks for your Service Brother
Randall, you are very well spoken and a credit to the Regiment. Aug 90 graduate of the Nick Rowe school for wayward boys.
"Some guys went through SFAS to get out of an NTC rotation." I can totally relate.
Mr Roboto 😂😂😂😂
Awww c'mon man, I was stationed there it ain't that bad hahaha
What's a NTC rotation?
Jimmy Shiung it’s pretty trash lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 facts
I went in 91....KEEP UR MOUTH SHUT....go in healthy and fit. I saw guys over 6' and able to lift a VW, fall by the wayside, and guys like me, 5'11"/ 180 pas easily. Murphy is always lurking...and like he said, climb a lot of ropes. Good luck! "De Opresso Libre"
Thank you very much for answering my questions. I sincerely appreciate it a great deal. I may never get to SFAS, but I think I know now what to become before arriving. Above all, mentally tough and committed to finishing, not quitting. But also as mentioned in the video, in the best shape you can be, ideally well rested, fed, and healthy at the outset, able to march all day every day with an extremely heavy backpack, and being competent in the basic skills you know you are essential to pass events (land nav, foot care, rucking, swimming in uniform, good technique for rope climbing, etc.) It's not about knowing the course, as the course changes, but about being the kind of soldier they're looking for, someone who will remain willing and able to perform up to expectations even at the limit of what one can bear. If you can be that worthy candidate, and it's not much more than just being a good soldier with infantry skills, endurance, and a good attitude, you're probably ready for whatever they'll throw at you. Excellent interview. It's clear Randall is a very competent and respectable man and knows his business. I'm really glad you both did this for us, the audience. I thank you both for your time, effort, and service.
thank you
@mrgunsngear never knew you were 18 series, as a former 11b much respect.
I was a Marine and a sniper in my unit previously worked with SEALs, SF, and AF SOC in Iraq. He told me all three were super skilled but the best all around were Army SF. He said the AF guys were way too smart and nerdy and the SEALs always wanted to be catered to and be treated like movie stars lol.
😂
Mike, this is your best non-gun video to date. Thanks for all the effort you put into it. 👍🏻👍🏻
thank you
The guy on the right seems very uncomfortable/very high anxiety throughout the video...almost to the point where you have to ask is he on drugs!?
One needs to really want it. Of course one needs to be as physically fit and have basic good intelligence, but without the heart and intense desire, and passion to make it, one will most likely fail.
awesome. the DLI shirt I saw in one of your videos a while back makes more sense to me now.
Mad respect for these guys from a Marine.
i joined not knowing anything about the Army amd now my goal is to earn that green beret and i will never forget that i started to get to set that goal in bct because i used to see him LTC Wenner everyday in morning PT and just think to my self “this guy is ripped” and then i did reaserch in about the SF and knew thats what i want to do in a couple of years
Great stuff thanks for posting this. Wouldnt mind some future content that is similar
Im 32. Ive wanted to do this for a long time. I feel good and reassured that im not too old. Thank yall
Great video! Thanks for your service to this country.
Holy smokes... Randy on TH-cam! I know both of these dudes from SF. Nice to see you guys are still out there contributing. De Oppresso Liber, fellas.
he's a star now! 😂 Thanks 🇺🇸
The Jumpmaster video was definitely the icing on the Randall cake.
Awesome job! Nothing but respect!
Great tips! If you're thinking about it, do it. Train, physically and mentally. I always regret not going for it years ago, don't do that. Just tell yourself you won't quit. Get some
Damn, I never knew Peter North was a Green Beret! That's awesome.
Hahaha
80 pound rucksack AND he had a log in the front to balance the weight! LOL!!
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good stuff, guys. DOL

Hey pastor!!!!!
Excellent work.....as usual!
Just found your channel! I'm getting ready to talk to a recruiter about an 18x contract. Thank you guys for the very helpful information.
Outstanding interview, thank you.
You're welcome 👍🏽
I got through Dive School in 2007 and have been out a while and am now thinking of rejoining and trying out for SF.
Dive School was a lot harder than I was expecting, but the good thing was that they couldn't just kick you out. You had to quit or fail an exam. Easy; just don't quit.
SF training seems a lot harder because you can make it all the way through selection and at the very end they can just say " naw... you're not selected. Go home".
Or you can get dropped for being less than 50 meters from a road, aiming your m240 higher than 1m, etc. No questions asked, no retries. You're done.
I know I have the heart to make it, but it's the stuff like that which makes me a little excited to go through selection.
Great video. Way to change it up. I was an attack helicopter pilot, but it's interesting to see what my long-tabber brothers on the ground had to go through for selection.
thank you and Randall for your service to our country
Munklinz thanks for your support!
Thank you for having something positive to say about the National Guard it is comprised of the good bad and ugly. I enjoyed my career in the NG and meet some real PT studs in the Guard.
🇺🇸
I still hate the way the Guard is used to exemplify the cliché weekend warriors and essentially the low speed / high drag, unprofessional, and even slovenly bottom of the barrel troops and units of the military. I was in the Army Reserve, and as you know it's all one Army, as we used to say.
There was a time when active personnel went to separate schools and training but my entire career was mixed Guard, Reserve, and "Regular Army" as we used to say. The fact is guard and reserve units have the same training schedules as active, but with far less time to do it all in. We did our best to get it all done but never really could, you just have to prioritize if you want to still train to standard, or better, and not just pencil whip your way through it saying you did it all. We consistently performed as good and often better than our active duty counterparts when conducting joint training FTX's. The real strength of Guard and Reserve units is the people and their diverse civilian experience they bring to the table. With all due respect to the Active folks, they typically have come from the same experiences, unless they had a civilian life before their military careers. Having the benefit of people pulling from a vast array of world experience as well as careers allows for a greater pool of thought, ideas, and flexibility of problem solving.
Then there's the matter of those troops deserving the respect of what they achieve given they have two lives to live and balance. There's your civilian side and your military life. You still have everything to do in both of those worlds. I had to be just as good at both my jobs as anyone else. Actually there's some pressure to be better because of who and what you are representing. So it's always good to get some recognition from those outside the "Part Timer" community. Thanks.
This is my LTC, Colonel Wenner, from basic training. Ft Jackson, 360th. Spoke to him once, a very cool guy and the Drill Sergeants spoke highly of him.
This was awesome, thank you.

I went to SFAS, the competition with the 18X's was brutal since they do not do anything else for prepare to SFAS. Those guys have not clue about the regular Army and it is a very interesting experience to deal w them. Besides that, it was the best experience i could have of a military school, did not got selected but i recommend this to whoever wants a high speed career and not waste 20 years in a cubical.
thanks for the report
Jaime Giraldo Hey man I'm also thinking about the 18x contract, Did they tell you why you didn't got selected ?
Great vid, thanks, guys.
Good to see Randall there making it happen with the K-nowledge!!!! Well done guys.
Jerry Perkins thanks brotha
I went through Training Group (now called the Q Course) in 1968. Went through Basic, Infantry AIT and was on track to go to OCS but I was sent to Jump School because I was picked up by Special Forces. After I arrived at Ft Bragg I told the Training Group CSM about my contract with OCS. He told me to stay that I wouldn’t regret staying. At that time SFAS wasn’t part of the Course you simply started Phase 1. My class started with 282 soldiers and a year later there were 32 left in my class to graduate. In total there were a little over 200 by combining four classes. I was assigned to the 5th Group in the Nam. I served on A-401 until it closed and was transferred to A-404 Airboats. Our B-40 was designated as the IV Corps Mobile Strike Force. I was sent to the field 5 times in command of 43rd Company made up of Cambodians; with each combat deployment lasting 30-35 days. We made contact in each of the five. NEVER DID REGRET MY DECISION.
Awesome story!!!!! Thank you for sharing 🇺🇸
"If your afraid of heights they're going to find that out real quick"- trembling thinking about basic bootcamp
Great video. Thank you.
With all the "enlisted VS officer" badblood ("officers are just politicians looking for ways to get their men killed so they can wear another medal" troupe) ... Listening to Commander Randall, I can hear/see a leader that I would be happy to follow his directions. Organized and squared-away enough to respect, but with a real care and respect for the men under him who ALL volunteered to be in this dangerous situation.
(Based ONLY on the one video) He seems like the kind of boss I would want to help me navigate the best way to serve his unit (while still considering my own personal preferences as a human being).
Great choice of people to choose to answer this videos questions! Great choice! Kudos. Thank you.
Why can’t the “Q Course” be the buffet line at Golden Corral?!?
I would already be a high speed, low drag Suppa Duppa SPECOPs Troopa.
The buffet line is for the Air Force guys.
Hi! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I am trying to get access to the SFAS workout plans, but the URL is unavailable. It would be great if you can provide a new URL! Thank you so much for your time in advance, and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Fond memories! Now...back then it was a lot of pain!
I don’t know how I missed this one. I was in the last pre-Selection class, FY 1988, and due to a glitch in my medical records I got recycled, then had to go through one of the early Selection classes, then start training. I wound up being at Bragg for 4 months before I got to go to phase 1, back when they had 3 phases and we chose our MOS. Selection SUCKED! There’s no 2 ways around it. I was in great shape, 29 years old and 5’4” tall, and I dropped weight at a rate that I couldn’t believe. I looked like an Auschwitz victim by the end of Selection, and walked like I had no feet. In the end I wound up being a paraplegic years later due to a HAHO accident, but it was still worth it. I met the greatest guys on the planet, real heros, the guys that I worked with in 5th Group were an incredible group of people.

"terrain association" at Ft Bragg, that's funny, the contour lines are about 2" apart.
😁
I did a little land nav in Florida....not for military....and it's like that.....no elevation change and the " lakes"...may dry up in the summer......so what once was water is now just grass... ... I'm trying to avoid lakes on the map that we could just wade or walk through.......
Great info! Thanks !
Great video, thanks.
That guy is the BTN commander of my basic training 😂small world
He was mine too, were you in 360th BAT fort Jackson for basic?
We used to look for Psychopathic Deviation - we need someone to be just psychopathic enough that they will die with their jaw clenched instead of running away, but not so much that they can't be controlled.
🇺🇸
That's not psychopathy.
Sounds about right. Hahaha!
The guy on the right seems very uncomfortable/very high anxiety throughout the video...almost to the point where you have to ask is he on drugs!?
@@ajcook7777 noticed that as well. Could be PTSD
Thank you, very helpful. Better idea of what I need to focus on.
You're welcome 👍🏽
Really cool interview
Mike, you're a true quiet professional. respect.
+Emmanuel Goldstein maybe if we get lucky they smoke you.
I blew on my screen because I thought it was a hair. Your pic got me.
There's a cunthair on my computer screen.
OUTSTANDING !! watching you two i realize the thing i miss the most.... the camaraderie, the brotherhood. while i wasn't SF ,we supported a lot of missions as electronic counter warfare though. i got to meet and count as friends quite a few , mostly SEALS , SF warriors . i do miss that part of it .
Emmanuel Goldstein . Coming from someone who has most likely never had to sacrifice a single thing for his comfortable life.
I tell you what, why don't you go spend some time in Somalia. Find you a militant Islamic, look him in the eye and ask HIM why we can't all just sit around the campfire and sing kumbya together. While your at it ask him why he brainwashes 14 year old kids to strap on a suicide vest to do HIS dirty work .
If we don't deal with them where they are we will have to deal with them here.
@Emmanuel Goldstein why don't you answer anyone's logical questions? Just sayin
Very cool stuff please try to make a video like this maybe once a month long form interviews are really good thank you so much for sharing and cheers
thanks for watching
Thanks, great video
Awesome video Mrgunsngear. My Dad was a Army Ranger and went to Fort Benign, Georgia. Sniper School. I just want to thank you for your service Mrgunsngear and your Boss too.
you're very welcome
Emmanuel Goldstein fucc off liberal bitch
Emmanuel Goldstein lol innocent people? You literally have no respect for people who risk their lives for your dumbass.
Well said Zach. I was going to type a comment to Emmanuel Goldstein but i didn't have anything nice to say . Thanks bro.
Jerry Johnson II yea idk what that guys even doing on this yt channel
Excellent video and beard!!👌👌👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
thanks
Great video and information. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome 👍🏽
When you screw up, be prepared to admit it and have a few ideas of what you learned and how you would do it different next time.
You mean they don't want whinny bitches who make excuses for themselves and their failure's. Awe shucks.
I'm 5'6" at 165 and I watched a lot of Grizzly Bear sized guys sit down and cry. When I was there the instructors would ask if you "wished to buy a VW?" On the radio they would call for a pickup vehicle saying "I have a guy who has experienced 'farfegnugen'"
Its Iron Will. I saw a lot of gym rats and self proclaimed badasses check out early.
Good show guys! good info!
I'm assuming VW stands for `Voluntary Withdrawal'?
That's it. Only two ways out - Voluntary Withdrawal or non-select at the two gates.
Robert Price 5’6 and 165 lbs is actually pretty muscular. You cannot make it through these course being all endurance and no upper body strength. You checked all their boxes!
Cool Video Mike! Very Interesting......
16:00 ya whatever the ruck is told to be set at with weight, but also factor in everything else including fluids, canteens and camelbacks
good stuff
Still rocking the apple laptop thought I talked you out of those in baf sir
I wish I joined out of high school because I joined in 05 I was 35 at the time and I was on ft benning for basic n airborne school and had a ball loved it there free food free work outs lol . I don’t know if I would of made it when I was younger but wish I tried you guys in the sf community are truly awesome and thank you for everything
Me too, turned 35 first week in BCT. As a result, easier in some ways but more challenging in others, such as the battle buddy system and being treated like a juvenile delinquent will drive you crazy. Civilians often assume it's the physical stuff that is tougher when older. I would say, for me at least, it was the opposite. Life makes you tougher and more capable of dealing with things in general, as well as being responsible for yourself and others, etc.. I ETSed 8 years later, but had I gone through the whole thing much earlier in life I would have given SF a shot. That's what I wanted to do as a teen. I say "give it a shot" because when I was younger I may not have had the right attitude for it. By the time I did I was torn over civilian life and career, etc.. I have no regrets over my Army career, but the more I here SOF guys talk I realize my mindset was always better suited to that community. It's like "These are my people!" Oh well, still no real regrets.
Very cool video, thanks. Yes ordered the shirt ...
nice!
I wish I had this information 25 years ago! 😂😂😂👏👏👏
I had no idea that Mr. GunsNGear was in the military or special forces. Very cool!
my mother's a communist and agrees with you so there you go.
LMAO Guns. Welcome to Massachussets.
+Mrgunsngear Channel is she from a different country?
So do you hate your mom ?
CA not SF, so while SOF not a green beret
Great share, thank you
My knees started knocking together on the widow maker. Right in front of SWCS SMG.
I have SF family members. My grandfather was in the OSS and jumped into France during WW2. Big respect for all the guys going to place I don't want to go and living and training those who know our enemies on a first name basis. Thank you both for your service.
Oss wasn’t SF dude.
@@lost6672 the Jedburgh teams are considered the forefathers of the SF by the Green Berets. Since they OSS teams fulfilled the same roles that GB's do now. My grandfather jumped into France 2-3 times to work with french resistance members.
Esquire Esquire yea no. The OSS is the predecessor to the CIA. But aright. I’m in the army rn. How are you gonna tell me? Stay a civilian. Thanks
@@lost6672 You can be in the military and still not understand history. The OSS was part CIA and part paramilitary organization. They had a branch called the Jedburgh teams who trained foreign citizens to fight for their own freedom. They were trained just like GB.
From Wikipedia:. Many of the surviving American "Jeds" later held various positions of great responsibility in the US Army or the CIA. Examples include William Colby, who became director of the CIA, Lucien Conein, who was a key CIA officer in Vietnam, General John Singlaub and Colonel Aaron Bank (first commander of United States Army Special Forces).
My grandfather was approached to reinlist in the CIA and the Army for special forces. I maybe a civilian POG, but I have read a few books and have a lot of family in the military.
Esquire Esquire SF wasn’t recognized until Vietnam dude. I took a class at ranger assessment that talked about this shit. I promise you don’t know what you’re talking about
Great video! -Dimitri

Worst vid EVER...LOSER!!!!!!!!
Mr. Gunsngear is a very good weapons man.

I’m 15 and seriously considering joining the army and going into the special forces, I’m gonna start training now, Bc by then I should be very much prepared, I’m also gonna take a course in college for land navigation and map reading, soo hopefully with football and college and everything else in between I will be Superman by then

mstng _boi sorry it’s been so long, progress isn’t good, I mean not gonna lie at this point I honestly am still trying bc I am 6’3 at 16 years old and weigh in at around 280 and most of it is muscle soo I mean it’s a possibility but I have to loose a lot of mass some how and my height might be an issue bc I’m predicted to be 6’7 and idk if the military trying to have someone that’s 6’7 not very stealthy at all

Hello. Successfully completed jump school, Ranger, Special Forces Training and a Special Mission Unit A&S. A tough life. Finished my almost 29 year service as the SF School G-3 SGM. Many related demanding related schools, and years of combat deployments. Now I am 100% service connected disabled, but I would not change a thing. SF is the best!
