I was one of those blessed with some rescues during my time, unfortunately also pulled some dead comrades out of the ocean as well. You guys made me proud when I saw my former community mentioned and thanks so much for that.
It's rare to see my SARC'S talked about. Had the pleasure of working with a few while being attached to my marine unit as an HM. I worked hard to go to C-school and got a billet for it, but I was injured and discharged before I could capitalize on the opportunity. Biggest regret of my short Navy career
@ChiliMac Coperator thanks man, the VA has been fucking me over about a proper disability rating, but they offered me a job and I'm making more money doing basic Corpsman stuff here than I would any other hospital, so it's something lol
@@BlueJayWaters Good on ya shipmate! Sorry, know that's an old term. Glad you were able to find gainful employment bro. My job was so mission specific that there wasn't a good civilain equivelant at the time. Offered a contracting job toward the end but would have been gone 75% of the time. Became a Police Officer instead and served for 16 yrs after my 21 AD in the USN. Be well shipmate and good talking with you.
They had a barracks at my old base NAS JAX where I seen them PTing all day. There was also EOD, and a CB unit. I never heard much from any of them except for when an EOD guy explained his job at BEQ party. He didn't say anything until I asked why he had a flight helmet in a bag.
1:08 seals (a bunch of animals 😁) 3:36 navy swics boat men 6:07 navy sarcs "medics" usually to help marines 8:18 navy Eod 10:16 divers (suport, no frogmen) 11:55 air rescue (man overboard)
As a former officer of the UK Royal Marines and SBS, I spent a few years both being attached to and hosting a number of all NSW units as part of a UK/US exchange programme, this was great especially when we invited these guys to the realms of Faslane, Scotland, North Sea GOPLATS and River Thames MCT operations and war games.
Spent some time with the Royal Marines on Diego Garcia many years ago. Sgt Major invited me to their club. Few pints in I called him a Britt and he pointed to a map of the UK and informed me he is English in no uncertain terms. I said, "Don't get mad at me Sgt Major, just because we kicked you guys out of our country." Good laugh and good group of guys who were okay with drinking and fighting.
@@navvetcoperator973 Hmm most likely he was a salty WO2 (Company Sgt Maj) or WO1 (Regimental Sgt Major), either way at least he was English 🏴 and not a Jock 🏴, Taffy 🏴 or a Mick 🇮🇪, they would of had your guts for garters 🤣
@@raymondfrancis2983 Good to know mate. Thanks for the warning and that happening to me now that I'm up against 60 is possible but back then not so easy to do. Appreciate your service in an incredibly challenging SF world.
@@thegreatdogzilla5855 Yeah we had worked with SWCC on many joint ops, we had a number of them on cross-training maritime exercises both stateside and here in Poole, Dorset at our base in Hamworthy!!
I trained with a bunch of feds once and the lead instructor was retired navy EOD. 50+ years old but in better shape than all of us young'uns. He could shoot better with his off hand better than we all could with everything we got. Then he lays out how humble he is by saying he's not elite, he is only tier 3. We were like... that's still lots of tiers above all of us.
Retired Navy Chief, 7 deployments but my eyes were opened when I served as a Police Officer. It changed me for sure. Fully retired now but still love Range Day! Guess when you're in stuff, you don't see yourself as elite or special. I was around some real warriors in my day and those guys were elite.

@@jreditx4901 Not back in my day buddy, that evolution came later. There was a push during my time toward EMT qualification but as a general rule we didn't fly with Corpsman.
Without having any military experience, (i was too honest in my interview lol) it's interesting to me to see that the Navy has the same rescue capabilities as the Coast Guard, which makes sense of course...
I think the reason SARCs get forgotten about is that while they are Navy, they are more apart of the Marine Special Operations Community. So they don't get the attention they deserve by either branch.
@@ryandean3777 I don't think the Recon Marines/Raiders forget about them, but the general public isn't aware of them. Seems like a missed opportunity for Navy Recruiting Command.
Your videos are awesome. I've never been in the military (mom had me arrested for weed at 17), but studying battlefield tactics and military history has always been a hobby of mine. These videos are so informative; definitely a top tier channel for inside information
I appreciate you guys being honest with your disclaimer about rescues being rare for the Navy AWS/AWR community. I feel like the reason we’ve had such a low retention rate for first tour crewmen for so long is because the Navy has been very misleading about the nature of the job. If they were more concise and upfront like you all were, I doubt we’d have so many people getting burnt out and disgruntled thinking they were going to be doing a lot more than the job entails.
Retired Navy Chief 21 yrs Tactical Helo Aircrewman SAR Swimmer, retired then served 16 yrs as a Police Officer and even back in my day first tour retention was a problem. Blessed to make some rescues but knew guys who didn't get the chance in their careers. There was so much more to the job and pushing to excel at all the various mission sets never left me bored.
@@optrdocksidebars7106 Honored to serve shipmate! Thanks for your service bro and it's cool to see where the community has gone.

Thank all of you guys for your service. I know you probably hear that all the time from random civilians, but still, what you guys have done is absolutely amazing.
@@navvetcoperator973 anyway i can ask you some questions? i just contracted for AIRR and finding information is difficult sometimes. aswell as, thank you for your service.
I was very cocky when I first went to Dive School. Then, I blacked out while doing the 50 m. underwater swim (the first time; I passed the second time). That experience humbled me very quickly.
@@peytonthedude745 : Yes, EOD School is very challenging academically. Many people have said that EOD School is the 2nd most academically challenging schools in the Navy (for enlisted sailors); the 1st one being the Nuke School. All of the studying materials are not allowed outside of the school house and there is a mandatory study every night. In order to keep your dive qual. up-to-date, you must dive, at least, 8 times a year (the policies may have changed, since my time). I was in the Navy during the 2000's, so I did not get to dive that much, just enough to keep my qual. As far as deployments go, I got deployed quite a bit, because there were 2 major wars during that time period. Besides A'Stan & Iraq, I also got deployed to a few countries such as Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Djibouti, Italy, Spain. I also did one long deployment to South America.
The same way Corpsman are HMs first, and operators second. There are many rates in the Navy that can become Spec ops capable and attached to teams for their skillset. Naval Special Warfare Command is made up of so much more than just SEALs and SWCCs. Something I wasn't aware of until I joined. There's a lot of bad ass operators in the Navy who never wore a Trident. Its not the only way. Many jobs in the Navy also have opportunities to go to a selection for NSW, SERE school, CQB training, jump school, dive school, everything needed to be attached to SOF component.
Hell yeah another vid?? Fuck yeah you should do like a video on about marine corp embassy security or difference between 68 whiskey and marine corpsman
lol i remember reading the Navy Seals book by Capstone Press back in elementary school in those pre 9/11 days. I thought of being a seal, then I remembered how the beach smells at low tide 😭 I decided to serve in the teams via Sony Computer Entertainment instead 😂😱😩
I started my training as a swcc and endured a freak injury. They re rated me until I get the medical attention that I need, in order to transfer back. Finding information about the rest of the training is hard, but any chance yall could do some more videos on swcc?
I was Army and went to Navy EMT school. All sailors, except for a pretty Air Force woman, because were NOT Navy they paired us up. Rescuing her from the pool was the greatest experience I ever had in the military.
San Diego Harbor 17 years old I dove off the The Kitty Hawk from the Commanders deck for Commander Teague like staring off 6-7 Stories building roof into a swimming pool but then you go deeper deeper deeper and have to force turn towards surface or not have breath hold to make it to shore to fight the domestic terrorist
In jump school an Army black hat (during a class) said, "The sky, even more so than the sea is unforgiving" to which a Navy EOD tech in the back of the class retorted, "yeah, but there is nothing that flies around up there that can eat you whole" Everyone laughed....then the black hat made us do push-ups....good times.....good times.....
While in USN boot camp, the SEALs came in and tried to recruit and while I thought it would be cool, I wasn't sure of my abilities at that time. Immediately after that, EOD came in and did the same. Now that seemed like something I could really go for and I went and talked to them. They asked me what my ASVAB score was, I told them 99. They asked what my last PRT score was, I told them excellent-high (not the highest you could get but still good). They asked if I was colorblind, I said no. Then they asked what I was there to do, and I told them I was there to be a nuke. His direct response quote was "go away, I can't talk to you." I asked what was up and he said you have to fail at being a nuke before they will let you do anything else. So I became a nuke. I wouldn't let myself fail.
This is one of the BEST videos on Navy Special Operations I have seen!!!! I also love your videos on USMC Infantry, FBI, Secret Service, Federal-State-Local Police breakdown, and Army Versus Navy...🤠🤠🤠👍🧠🧠👮♀🚔⚓⚓🤿🤿🔱

Thank you for all your thorough explanations about things military and law enforcement. I'm wondering if you could do a video or series of videos about the United States Space Force. Any chance you might look into it? Thank you in advance!
I was in the Army, so I usually route for, teams like Delta,SF,75th Ranger Reg. But Seals are badass,esp Devgru. But if I had my choice, and was able 2 do anything, In the military. I would love 2 be a AF CCT, outta the 24th STS. Cuz those guys, and the PJs,SR,and some TACPs, have 2 be able 2 be ready 2 join,and other tier 1 unit, 2 go on missions with, but outta all the AFSOC, I think the CCTs, have the greatest job. They are able, 2 be with Devgru on 1 mission, then the next mission, they are with Delta Force. But that is a job, that I new I would of loved 2 be apart of, but the AF, you have 2 have really great scores on your ASVAB test, just 2 get in the AF, and thats not even being able 2 get any job you want. The Army was alot different, and I atleast got 2 get the job I wanted,which was Infantry, and then got chances 2 go 2 different schools.
SEAL Sniper Course Highlights Approx. 3 months in length Must qualify expert (again) to start the course. If you don't, see you later.... Comms and Digital Photo course prior to Field Craft Phase (2 weeks), and focus is on Field Intel gathering and communication skills. Scout phase includes stalking and field craft (integrated digital photography Recon work). Graded stalks and advanced marksmanship begin. (~4 weeks) Sniper phase includes advanced ballistics, mental management training, practical shooting and testing. We test them with stationary and moving targets and individual skills out to 1000 yards in high wind (~7 weeks)
These AWs you show on helos are only a small part of the aircrew folks, they work on more than just rotary aircraft, I knew many that were on fixed wing birds when I served.
I can't differentiate them at all They're all fucking badass and cool guys I can't do nothing but dream to be a member of these spec ops units. (not an american, i wish i was tho)
Is it true that trying to go for a navy seal contract is way more difficult if you are already in the navy compared to a civilian going straight from the street?
Yes. The overwhelming majority of SEAL (or really any of the NSW/NSO challenge careers for that matter) candidates come straight in from being civilians. While fleet returnees going through those pipelines are not uncommon, it’s a lot more difficult to submit a package to attend those pipelines once you’re already in a Navy rating, and a lot of times you can find yourself unable to convert period due to rating constraints and manning requirements. Your best bet will always to get a contract through the Warrior Challenge Program if you’re serious about any of the programs listed in the video. Otherwise you are going to be waiting a few years more than likely before you’ll get a chance to drop a package.
@@optrdocksidebars7106 what if I sign for a regular mos, finish my contract and then I reenlist going for that navy seal contract, would it get the same chances compared to someone who comes straight off the street? Or because I have prior service would be harder?
@@smesa_fit It’s possible, but your best chances are just to try to get an SO contract through the Warrior Challenge Program which will guarantee you a slot at BUD/S after you finish the other phases of training. Otherwise you’re basically gambling with availability of slots and conversion packages.
@@optrdocksidebars7106 man i got a last question, what if I join the army as infantry and after a year or 2 (when I get my citizenship, because I am a green card holder and for seals you need to be citizen) I try out for navy seals, I have heard that people from other branches can apply to go for seal program. Or do you think it would be easier to apply being in the navy with other MOS
@@smesa_fit That’s no longer an option, and it certainly was never for the Army. The Coast Guard for a period had a process where you could apply for SEAL training but that hasn’t been the case for many years now and only a handful of guys actually did it. If you join any other branch with the intent of becoming a SEAL, you will have to wait until your contract is over and then apply to join the Navy as a prior service candidate and apply for a SEAL contract like that. It’s really not worth going any other avenue if SEAL is your goal. Otherwise you’re waiting several years at a minimum to just do an even more elongated process.
If you have any experience in physical activity or sports, getting the contract is the easy part. Keeping it and working towards auto qual times is the hard part. It is still hard to get, but if you practice and work on your techniques you will see improvement every week for your pst.
While not as elite as these, I fell Riverine should be more talked about. They do some cool things and are a big part of the Navy’s transportation and security.
For the most part, no. USMC does not have any of its own medical personnel. You can join the Marines, then "try" to transfer to the Navy and try to become a corpsman (and SARC), but it will not be easy to do.
You can transfer laterally from the USMC to Navy, but getting re-rated to go to Corpschool can be difficult depending on what your MOS was. And from their, getting a SARC billet will probably take one to two duty stations to get a packet going, and by that time you already may be forced into a C-school specialty outside SARC. And you have to be on point with your medical skills, and your physical fitness the whole time. It's a longshot, but there was a MARSOC Marine who transferred after his 6 years to the Navy after a Doc saved him and his bestfriends life during a tour in Iraq. He vowed to become one of us and honor that Docs legacy for his sacrifice. I graduated before knowing what happened to him, but I heard he was top of his class and chose SARC as his specialty school on his dreamsheet. And usually if you graduate top of your class, you get a pretty big say in where you go after Corpschool. So, good luck if you try!
The United States Space Force ( Department of The Air Force) is a brand new Branch of The Armed Forces and a Military Service at all times, so, give it some time, and, the Space Force will have It's Own Special Operations Forces ( SOF), and even contribute to the United States Special Operations Command ( USSOCOM), via Space Force Special Operations Command ( SPACESOC)!! SEMPER SUPRA SUPERINTENSIFIED!!🇺🇸🦅🗽👨🚀🚀
Affirmative, James Shannon. I do agree , Brother from another Mother, but , sadly but truly, Space and Cyberspace are Domains of Warfare, just like the Land, Sea and Air, and, America's Sixth Branch of The United States Armed Forces will need to contribute to the United States Special Operations Command ( USSOCOM), to defend our Space Assets from Enemy Aggressor Conventional Forces and Special Operations Forces.
Why don't you make a video on the day to day life of being in the Military? Even those high speed units have put their time in. You make it seem so hardcore, glamorous and so much badassery. How many of these high speed hereos actually do the whole stretch? How many actually put their twenty in for full retirement?. I might not have been so high speed and low drag, but I retired and did my twenty, I am what you call a '17%'.

I from a Navy family so I'm going Navy , but I would absolutely love to be a PJ
In jump school an Army black hat (during a class) said, "The sky, even more so than the sea is unforgiving" to which a Navy EOD tech in the back of the class retorted, "yeah, but there is nothing that flies around up there that can eat you whole"
Everyone laughed....then the black hat made us do push-ups....good times.....good times.....
Well, the tech. was not wrong.
@@SV-kr9fu No, he wasn't wrong.
@@tidefanyankee2428 : But I would've just kept my mouth shut though.
We called it "Hostile Marine Life" when I was in. It's a thing. Jelly fish, sea snakes, sharks and angry, jilted mermaids...all bad.
While in USN boot camp, the SEALs came in and tried to recruit and while I thought it would be cool, I wasn't sure of my abilities at that time. Immediately after that, EOD came in and did the same. Now that seemed like something I could really go for and I went and talked to them. They asked me what my ASVAB score was, I told them 99. They asked what my last PRT score was, I told them excellent-high (not the highest you could get but still good). They asked if I was colorblind, I said no. Then they asked what I was there to do, and I told them I was there to be a nuke.
His direct response quote was "go away, I can't talk to you." I asked what was up and he said you have to fail at being a nuke before they will let you do anything else.
So I became a nuke. I wouldn't let myself fail.
The navy got the coolest looking badges
Cool guy shit ... Good times man ... good times... Too bad we get old and age and have to stop but memories are great! That is for sure.
This is one of the BEST videos on Navy Special Operations I have seen!!!! I also love your videos on USMC Infantry, FBI, Secret Service, Federal-State-Local Police breakdown, and Army Versus Navy...🤠🤠🤠👍🧠🧠👮♀🚔⚓⚓🤿🤿🔱
For human birth, soil, mud, nature, environment protection, animals, birds, cooperation and support are as important as tea leaves are for tea and eyes, ears and nose are important for the body etc.
Για τη νίκη και τη δόξα. Απεργία χωρίς προειδοποίηση!
Could you explain different SOCOM operations? Like operation Eagle Claw
As always top notch video boys
Am i the only one that got excited when i seen they just uploaded a new video haha
Yup, out of all 165k subscribers, you're the only one! Definitely! It's not like the other 165k people subscribed because they like the content!
Yes
Nope
I get excited
Not alone 😁
Thank you for all your thorough explanations about things military and law enforcement. I'm wondering if you could do a video or series of videos about the United States Space Force. Any chance you might look into it? Thank you in advance!
Hey show the difference between sea bees and red horse and army engineers
EOD forever🎉❤
I'm a junior interested in Navy EOD any advice you have
Can you do a video of Army Special Forces CIF/CRF?
Navy mc atf is a new one essentially coreman for seal teams and marsoc
Sierras and Romeos. Interesting.
I'd like a video on Homeland Security HSI
Do a video on the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command!
Yea I was a navy seal green beret army ranger jet qualified n brain surgeon. I was only in for 4 years but they kept me busy ah ha ha
Do army next!
Currently in training at SAR school Pensacola for Aviation Rescue Swimmer. Would love a deep dive video of my rate
What would you like to know about it?
hows RSS? u thru it yet?
I was in the Army, so I usually route for, teams like Delta,SF,75th Ranger Reg. But Seals are badass,esp Devgru. But if I had my choice, and was able 2 do anything, In the military. I would love 2 be a AF CCT, outta the 24th STS. Cuz those guys, and the PJs,SR,and some TACPs, have 2 be able 2 be ready 2 join,and other tier 1 unit, 2 go on missions with, but outta all the AFSOC, I think the CCTs, have the greatest job. They are able, 2 be with Devgru on 1 mission, then the next mission, they are with Delta Force. But that is a job, that I new I would of loved 2 be apart of, but the AF, you have 2 have really great scores on your ASVAB test, just 2 get in the AF, and thats not even being able 2 get any job you want. The Army was alot different, and I atleast got 2 get the job I wanted,which was Infantry, and then got chances 2 go 2 different schools.
Using a lot of numbers in place of words! just wondering in case others are misled!
California Fish and Game next
The best and the best...
So did UDT get absorbed by the SEALs? It would be cool to see an episode about them
and explain the difference between Navy EOD and UDT
Appreciate your videos, any chance you could do a video on the Navy’s LCAC ( hovercraft) Ty
Good work
Thanks
USUT, Airborne, 2-5 Cav, 115th muleskinners.
-The Point Man of Zero Dark Thirty
CRSC?
The name clicks with my bait🤠.
Respect from the Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 Special Naval Unit, we had training with you guys some years ago by seals.
BZ to our Rescue swimmers that would rescue Mailbags after a bad vertrep
BZ to Navy Divers that stand by the pool at the helo dunker.
Next do a comparison between all the services' combat dive schools.
I would like to know more abt what it take to be a seal sniper,its training and missions
SEAL Sniper Course Highlights
Approx. 3 months in length
Must qualify expert (again) to start the course. If you don't, see you later....
Comms and Digital Photo course prior to Field Craft Phase (2 weeks), and focus is on Field Intel gathering and communication skills.
Scout phase includes stalking and field craft (integrated digital photography Recon work). Graded stalks and advanced marksmanship begin. (~4 weeks)
Sniper phase includes advanced ballistics, mental management training, practical shooting and testing. We test them with stationary and moving targets and individual skills out to 1000 yards in high wind (~7 weeks)
How about a video on those who work with military animals, dogs, dolphins, (are horses still used?)
0:35 Daz a Necc foo
These AWs you show on helos are only a small part of the aircrew folks, they work on more than just rotary aircraft, I knew many that were on fixed wing birds when I served.
Only Air rescue is SOF though. According to publications which this guy is using.
@@David_Bang_AIRR is definitely not SOF lol
@@optrdocksidebars7106 Go make a change to the pubs then. AW's also work in SOCOM as UAS operators/JTAC's.
Can you please do a video on the best ways I get into each branch?
Nice
Can you do a viedoes about USMC Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team its a another elite group
Let's get army next
If I had to choose any SOF Group it would be PJ'S
Amerika selalu keren love you
I🖤Addisas
I can't differentiate them at all
They're all fucking badass and cool guys
I can't do nothing but dream to be a member of these spec ops units. (not an american, i wish i was tho)
Is it true that trying to go for a navy seal contract is way more difficult if you are already in the navy compared to a civilian going straight from the street?
Yes. The overwhelming majority of SEAL (or really any of the NSW/NSO challenge careers for that matter) candidates come straight in from being civilians.
While fleet returnees going through those pipelines are not uncommon, it’s a lot more difficult to submit a package to attend those pipelines once you’re already in a Navy rating, and a lot of times you can find yourself unable to convert period due to rating constraints and manning requirements.
Your best bet will always to get a contract through the Warrior Challenge Program if you’re serious about any of the programs listed in the video. Otherwise you are going to be waiting a few years more than likely before you’ll get a chance to drop a package.
@@optrdocksidebars7106 what if I sign for a regular mos, finish my contract and then I reenlist going for that navy seal contract, would it get the same chances compared to someone who comes straight off the street? Or because I have prior service would be harder?
@@smesa_fit It’s possible, but your best chances are just to try to get an SO contract through the Warrior Challenge Program which will guarantee you a slot at BUD/S after you finish the other phases of training. Otherwise you’re basically gambling with availability of slots and conversion packages.
@@optrdocksidebars7106 man i got a last question, what if I join the army as infantry and after a year or 2 (when I get my citizenship, because I am a green card holder and for seals you need to be citizen) I try out for navy seals, I have heard that people from other branches can apply to go for seal program. Or do you think it would be easier to apply being in the navy with other MOS
@@smesa_fit That’s no longer an option, and it certainly was never for the Army. The Coast Guard for a period had a process where you could apply for SEAL training but that hasn’t been the case for many years now and only a handful of guys actually did it.
If you join any other branch with the intent of becoming a SEAL, you will have to wait until your contract is over and then apply to join the Navy as a prior service candidate and apply for a SEAL contract like that.
It’s really not worth going any other avenue if SEAL is your goal. Otherwise you’re waiting several years at a minimum to just do an even more elongated process.
Leaving for basic in a month and going in with a SWCC contract. Can't wait for the challenge ahead!
Was it hard getting the contract?
If you have any experience in physical activity or sports, getting the contract is the easy part. Keeping it and working towards auto qual times is the hard part. It is still hard to get, but if you practice and work on your techniques you will see improvement every week for your pst.
@@leedhamsportspics8569 dont lie that swims a b*tch for about a month😂. hope everythings goin smooth tho brotha
All in common: OakleySi!
Could at some point, you guys make a video on Army SFAB?
As I get older & smarter. I wish I’d joined the military (NAVY.) instead and college & played football 🏈
While not as elite as these, I fell Riverine should be more talked about. They do some cool things and are a big part of the Navy’s transportation and security.
Have you seen our video on them?
@@GeneralDischarge I stand corrected. I apologize for that and thank you good sir
You should do a video like this on the marines
Whats the basic equipment of a navy SARCS can you do a video an that
I was a navy diver at meps
Nice content
Can AIRR go airborn ?
No.
Literally zero reason to.
5:50 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 uber
6:10 Where would the *right* place be to go for that?
Can you do who would win with JTF2 vs Delta Force?
Can you join Navy SARC as a marine?
There have been Marines who transfer to the Navy to become SARCs!
For the most part, no. USMC does not have any of its own medical personnel. You can join the Marines, then "try" to transfer to the Navy and try to become a corpsman (and SARC), but it will not be easy to do.
You can transfer laterally from the USMC to Navy, but getting re-rated to go to Corpschool can be difficult depending on what your MOS was. And from their, getting a SARC billet will probably take one to two duty stations to get a packet going, and by that time you already may be forced into a C-school specialty outside SARC. And you have to be on point with your medical skills, and your physical fitness the whole time.
It's a longshot, but there was a MARSOC Marine who transferred after his 6 years to the Navy after a Doc saved him and his bestfriends life during a tour in Iraq. He vowed to become one of us and honor that Docs legacy for his sacrifice. I graduated before knowing what happened to him, but I heard he was top of his class and chose SARC as his specialty school on his dreamsheet. And usually if you graduate top of your class, you get a pretty big say in where you go after Corpschool. So, good luck if you try!
Can you make a video on NGA?
Thethe best and the best
The United States Space Force ( Department of The Air Force) is a brand new Branch of The Armed Forces and a Military Service at all times, so, give it some time, and, the Space Force will have It's Own Special Operations Forces ( SOF), and even contribute to the United States Special Operations Command ( USSOCOM), via Space Force Special Operations Command ( SPACESOC)!! SEMPER SUPRA SUPERINTENSIFIED!!🇺🇸🦅🗽👨🚀🚀
let's hope not. i like our planet... : )
Affirmative, James Shannon. I do agree , Brother from another Mother, but , sadly but truly, Space and Cyberspace are Domains of Warfare, just like the Land, Sea and Air, and, America's Sixth Branch of The United States Armed Forces will need to contribute to the United States Special Operations Command ( USSOCOM), to defend our Space Assets from Enemy Aggressor Conventional Forces and Special Operations Forces.
Why don't you make a video on the day to day life of being in the Military? Even those high speed units have put their time in. You make it seem so hardcore, glamorous and so much badassery. How many of these high speed hereos actually do the whole stretch? How many actually put their twenty in for full retirement?. I might not have been so high speed and low drag, but I retired and did my twenty, I am what you call a '17%'.
