Greetings, Coach. Dude is one of the better prospects I've seen for SF. He has the prep and grit to become a Force Recon standout. Your guidance and help will push him over the top. Semper Fi to all the jarheads👍
As long as he follows Jakes instruct on his shin splits , keeps away from doing dumb shit , watches out for potential injury ,, he should do fine ,,I seen a lot of guys just like him in airborne school get med rolled or out completely cause of improper PLF landing ,,The black hats DONT waste too much time on showing you how. To hit the ground on those shitty as Bravo shoots ,,you have to do exactly what they say or it’s neck and back Injury All day ,,I seen half my platoon , all STUDS ,,out completely neck and back compression fx …it’s serious shit , you have to have a lot of luck on your side ,,it’s like Jake said , it’s a cunt hair from success and failure , even in Jump school .
He’s on the right track. I would also advise him to learn the chain of command i.e., president, SecDef, SecNav, USMC commandant, assistant commandant; SgtMaj of Marine Corps. Lastly, learn navy officer’s rank structure.
This video made me so pleased. Wished TH-cam and Jake was around when I did my shit in ‘00. That said, if people like this are joining our Corps, our country will be just fine.
I showed up to USMC boot camp homeless and malnourished. My 1st timed 3 mile run was 2130... At my 2 Yr mark, I got my 3 mile run time down to 1730 and I was recon ready💪💪💪. I ran on my own and on the weekend
I’m in the exact same situation I just got a recon contract I ship in exactly a month and my times are almost the same tho I’m slightly better at swimming and worse at running tho ima bigger dude. I feel way more confident after watching these videos and changing my training strategy. Hope this guy made it.
Once again Jake, great advise! I hope the young man has been rucking in the hills cuz the hills in Camp Pendleton suck. Also the “death march” rucking through CS gas, carrying casualties. It’s sucks but drive on don’t quit!
I did the recon course back in the early 2000's and they allowed the CSS. I couldnt imagine having to do it all with the elementary sidestroke. One difference between the recon indoc and what I know of the BUD/S PST, is that in the Corps, they make you swim it in full cammies. Tons of drag.
Jake this was a good one. What I enjoy about this is you give good guidance to a guy who is HUNGRY and doing what you told him to do. He seems like he was ready mentally and physically to be a RECON Ranger…
Swim harder only works for folks who started swimming as kids. For the rest of us better gains are achieved by swimming smarter ie, getting one on one instruction, joining a masters swim class - working on technique pays bog dividends in terms of speed
For some reason, it bothers me when these kids get on here and respond to you with "Yeh," instead of "Yes sir." Gotta be the generation. You're talking to a former Navy SEAL officer, who is taking the time out of his day to share with you his knowledge and experience, and give you solid advice. The LEAST you can do is be respectful.
If he's going recon, he'd better be mentally ready for that CS. Unless they've changed things, they gas the crap out of their recon trainees. For those who aren't under contract, an alternative to going Marine Recon or Force Recon, you could always go the army route as a 19D Cavalry Scout. If you're really high speed and dedicated, get Ranger school in your contract. And/or try out for their sniper section. I know the marines are all rah rah about their recon/force recon guys. But don't sleep on the army's Cav Scouts.
I'm sorry this is three years late. But there is not a boot lieutenant in the Marine Corps or Army that can navigate back to their car, where they park every day, from the company office. So many times I had to convince lt to let lance corporal so-and-so to be primary navigator. Never once met an ROTC boot be able to navigate 10 feet.
Zweig great motivation. Like seeing you guide a kid who has potential and puts in work. Not gonna lie, I do like watching you crush souls… especially the blonde hair Martha venyard water polo PHd privilege kids. Want to see an update video on him
@@jakezweig yes i’ve been on the pdf since January and have changed some things up like he has through time,my times have went down and scores have gone up. i’m ready to crush boot.
I wonder if he made it through boot camp. All the physical preparation means nothing when the drill instructors are yelling & chaos erupts all around you constantly. I saw so many recruits just forget how to think, loose all composure & get kicked out. Also, something they don’t tell you before Marine Corps boot camp. You can spent your whole 4 year enlistment trying to graduate. Drill Instructors can recycle you at a whim, you can get injured & get recycled. You can be a fat body & get sent to pcp, (physical conditioning platoon/pork chop platoon). A dude got recycled into my platoon who had been on Parris Island for 3 years trying to graduate. He finally made it & graduated with us but he had a bad attitude & his favorite retort was, "I don’t give a fuck". The Marines don’t care about your feelings. I knew recruits who got kicked cause the drill instructors said they didn’t look like a Marine. I hope this kid made it.
Great video I just don't recommend young men going into the Marines with a Recon Contract - most of these dudes fail - the candidates with the highest pass rates kicked it off a couple years as a 0311 Infantry first + they were already good or acquired strong water/swimming skills + they humped their assess off up/down hills and mountains + they learned all the weapons and Search and Destroy science in advance. I obviously oppose Recon Contracts up-front. I'm certain the magority fail and become cooks or truck drivers. Too many moving pieces. If you fail you are still under contract to fulfill your military obligation (3 or 4 years or whatever).
Jake, what are time trees, bro? Is that where u run like a 200, then a 150, then 100, then 50, all AFAP, then go in reverse? If so, what distances do u do?
It's interesting that when I started training for my second shot at BUD/S, I went to the library to try to find anything on running and found that elite runners do 1 hard day alternated with one easy day or no running at all, combined with one long run a week. Sounds similar to what u recommend.
20 wasted mins. The SEAL should know it's about mental strength in order to become elite. Mental strength, maturity, intelligence - plus physical strength.

Pretty cool of Jake to teach the new recruit Land Nav getting him ready for the Marine Corps. Thats true Leadership right there!
Gotcha have it
Good info Jake. Good luck young man, Marine Recon was the foundation for everything I’ve done in life. ABY!
He’s on the right track. I would also advise him to learn the chain of command i.e., president, SecDef, SecNav, USMC commandant, assistant commandant; SgtMaj of Marine Corps. Lastly, learn navy officer’s rank structure.
Absolutely
I hope and pray this young man is okay. Really solid kid!

Yes sir
fuckin right lol
This is a very tight, squared away young man. We will be in good hands with him.
Yes sir
respect the free knowledge Jake. keep it up !

Got to track him down
Recon ranger no such thing BTN Recon , Force recon , anglico , S/S teams , the Corps pretty odd we don't use us army terminology for nothing
Love these vids man!!👊
Booom share if you love

What you do for these young men is awesome!
Trying to help them have what we did not

Solid candidate from high school no less. Still lessons learned 16:03
Absolutely
Awesome Support from France This Channel is brutally honest Respect… and good luck to that dude « Force a lui »
Good advice regarding the Ruck Marches.
Those things... suck!!!😣
This guy is on top of it. Fucking SAVAGE!!!💯🔥🔥

So did this guy end up the guide (or the Series Honor Man) in Boot Camp? Is he a Meritorious Corporal in the Marine Recon community now? Lol!
He should also, get with a ROTC on that guard base. Rotc cadets are great at land Nav
shit great??

Should go Army and try 75th Ranger Regiment. They do way more and deploy more
The swim qual for special operations looks rough

Oh yah
Great advice!
Jake, is there a type of pasta that I need to eat? Is Semolina pasta good?
Regular type
He's probably in brc right now
Don’t ask an officer about land nav.
LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He should be a lance corporal by now.
He’s a Cpl rn, squad lead
SFMF!!! Hopefully he’s doing good! Any update on him?
Nope let me see
I would love to know if the young people you mentored listened and did they follow through. You’re gonna need a team helping you very soon.
@@vleeflo1 we're working on it man !!!!! Thank you
Yeah he passed away in a DUI accident 😢
@@austinvalenti4258wait what
If he hasn't checked back, I'm going to assume he didn't get to Force Recon.
Yah man
Did he ever end up making it into Recon?
have not heard from him
@@samuelfarrell481he never joined the corps?
