Hey General Discharge. I’m a Navy recruiter and wanted to let you know SARCS/HM ATF is now apart of the Warrior Challenge Program as of last week. Very informative videos and show them to my recruits. Keep up the great content
it happen to my team. A Marine was hit with a, "Bouncing Betty" it lodge in his hip. True and short, we stop the bleeding and gather what we could. He died once he got evac to the ship. He died of shock, because he saw only one leg. I was a Lance cooly at the time. I love this Channel. Excuse my, "Radio Silence" I am gonna Recon Shuffle, to get back my center. I cant wait for the next General Discharge.
also, for those interested in SARC, during your pool week in boot camp they will ask whos a corpsman and who wants to be a SARC, theyll run a couple test with you. couple friends had to switch to the 800 recruit division which are the divisions that have all the SWCC, DIVER and SEAL candidates and their days are alot more strenuous than those not in 800. Also during HM A school, a program called SOCP started by Senior Chief Pell are for those going into special corpsman jobs such as DMT. SAR and SARC. You will attend SOCP PT instead of the normal PT. if SARC is what you want, you will be separated and held to a higher standard than everyone else ALWAYS.
Years ago I wanted to be a medic in the Navy. If they had theses promotions / ads when I was H.S I would have joined SARC. This would have a great fit for me... Now days I'm a construction worker... Lol
The training differences would be a cool video, but they are fundamentally different jobs. SARC's and 18D are team guys. They are embedded in a SOF team for the duration of their enlistment, and go through all of the training, deployments, and missions with their respective teams. PJ's generally stay with dedicated PJ units and act as QRF medical support. So it really comes down to if you would rather be a SOF shooter that has the rare chance to use his badass medic skills (SARC/18D), or a SOF medic that has the rare chance to use his badass shooter skills (PJ).
@@calt2161 This is true I'm 19 years of age at the moment and I want to be a SOF medic I was thinking of trying to be an 18D I know you get put wear the Army needs you that's why I would go enlist as a 68W before putting in a packet for SFAS but I also know of PJ and SARC just having a hard timing deciding what route to go down just because they all get pretty damn good training and well obviously the branch differences I also want the opportunity to try out for additional training schools and since I am a civilian I don't know who offers better opportunities I also get there is a lot of factors such as if your unit wants to send you
@@calt2161 sorry further more probably also depends if your doing a work up for a deployment also also I know basic training and other things will get me in the physical shape but those SF guys are bad dudes I don't think I could make it a lot of people say it's more mental and just you will I don't think I could make it but I'm pretty determined I won't give up on trying to achieve my goal
SARC is the goal. I’m spending thousands on lawyers and countless hours on physical readiness even with the understanding that I might not get the opportunity because of my circumstances. I made a horrible mistake when I was in the Navy 7 years ago, so my ability to rejoin is nearly impossible. Plus the fact that I was already a corpsman and reservist means that if I am finally able to re-enlist I might not be needed. I saw the new prior service needs because of the COVID19 situation and I understand they will be taking more prior service sailors than before. Until my case is settled all I can do is keep preparing. When that door opens I’m planning on busting through it. Thanks for the videos. They keep me motivated and educated about the requirements. Keep up the good work.
So leading up to Hell Week, they're weeding out people that don't want to be there. They're training people in a way to get rid of people not meeting the standards. Nothing wrong in that, mostly after hell week it's medical leaves for people afterwards because why leave after enduring all of that? I know you tried to be "witty" about your comment but it doesn't follow through with the appropriate information.
The purpose of BUD/S and SEALs is to get enlisted men to join the Navy so they can use them where they really need them on ships doing critical sailor duties. It's a recruiting tool that has been told for decades that there's no such thing as bad advertising, until recently, when senior leadership had to draw the line at murdering fellow SOF personnel and then making attempts at hooking up with the victim's widow after fabricating the cause of death report, murdering civilians for sport, the decades-old narcotics abuse problems, killing a UK female hostage with frag grenades, leaving sensitive items all over the wake of their operations, killing coalition partner forces we're supposed to be working with, and having planned torture procedures that were used on captured EPWs. SOF Amphibious Recon Corpsmen are there to provide MTOE medical personnel coverage for small units within the USMC because the USMC isn't allowed to have medics for some reason. Force Recon and Recon Marine units have had them built into their unit structure for ages. I've worked with both and Force Recon medics were far more professional and very quiet. Not to say most SEALs run their mouths, but everybody has heard of SEALs for a reason. Practically nobody has heard of the SOF Corpsmen in the Navy who are part of Force and MARSOC.
Don't get it mixed up, though. BRC is no joke. The attrition rate for recon marines in that course is roughly comparable to the attrition rate that SEALS go through in buds.
@@Osegis There are lots of people that wash out after hell week because its not the hardest part of the training by a long shot. Pool Comp at the end of second phase probably eliminates as many as hell week except of course there are already not that many left by that point. Dan Bizarien is a perfect example he made it trough He'll Week twice and got booted permanently at the end of 3rd Phase for a safety violation on the range during land warfare training. While this portion of training isn't particularly physically difficult live fire Close Quarters Battle is very meticulous, stressful and dangerous. You shoot 12-16 hrs a day, 7 days a week for months and one tiny mistake can get someone killed so its a zero Toblerone enviornment and people screw up and are booted from the program.
I was a Seabee CE2, won the battalion land nav competition (in MOP gear)... was automatically slated as the Battalion "Forward Observer"... received my "special" training from both the SEALS at Little Creek and the USMC at Geiger and Lejeune... awesome training by awesome people...
Exceptional rundown guys, great stuff, very clear, yet thorough. SARC's go through a ton of training, maybe even more so than US Army 18Ds.The Navy have completely evolved their expeditionary warfare community over the years, impressive.
An SF SCUBA, Scout Swimmer, or Water Infil ODA would have a lot of similarities and training. It's better to understand the unit structures and know that SOF Corpsmen are embedded combat medic support personnel for certain units. Historically, this was Force Recon. MARSOC has been added to that since it was stood up.
Would love to see video addressing what these warriors need to do to “re-enter” life after military. I can’t imagine how difficult that would be, especially now (June, 2021) with how “society” seems to be upside down. How do “precision minded, disciplined professionals” get thrown back into a society that is anything but that? All of you warriors (men, women, all races and ethnicities) are truly special human beings, and this 70 yr old man appreciates you. Gods blessings.
Active duty special operations guy here. I just try to call my family and stay in tune with what’s going on back in the states. And remember that the military is just a job and it only lasts while it lasts so make the most of it
Damn, now that was informative. As a retired Chief, I think I'd go for the SARCS. More variety of career opportunities after the Navy ... but admittedly, SEALS would be more fun!
Another dope informative video homies. The new clips are fresh and beats are on point as always. I’ve been watching general discharge from last year and you guys stay improving. I gotta say this video helped me decide a lot if I wanted to join SARC or just stay with wanting to join reconnaissance marine. I respect SEALS and SARC for what they do and gotta day this video broke it down to whoever has the desire to be part of the navy’s elite unit. I don’t think any other vide can do justice. General Discharge you guys are killin and changing the game 🤙🔥
Recommend Marine RECON, they’re absolutely fantastic, they’re the true silent warriors out there. They just get shit done and make things happen, no hype, drama, fanfare, just execution.
Oh Snap!!! They have your child and demand one hundred thousand dollars in unmarked bills to be delivered in a black bag to a drop off that will be revealed at a later time
I just found your page and this is amazing stuff!! I have an HM/ ATF contract and I leave for BC in August. I am absolutely going to be in contact with my recruiter on this and to get more information on moving to SARCs. This is badass and Medicine is my life while I also want to be a badass medic helping out guys and serving my country!! Keep posting great content and God Bless y'all!!
You’ll screen in San Antonio for SARC your contract after six weeks of psts. Just heads up you’re tied to your ATF contract so if you double tap a written test or fail your PSTs you’ll re-rate and lose your contract all together.
Jackson Hughes if an ATF student fails a test back to back he/she will be dropped from the program. It’s not hard if you study and keep your head on straight but if you slack off physically or academically you’ll be reassigned to a new rate. It’s worth it tho. If you do not get HM-ATF off the street you may be allowed to screen depending on slots available but it’s not guaranteed. If you don’t ship with an ATF You won’t get a bonus or automatic E4 after your first NEC (dive school, Air Crew School or FMTB) which is a big deal as a HM. If you want to do ATF get that contract from the start. Get above the minimums for the PST before you ship and start studying basic physiology. Good luck.
Jackson Hughes awesome. Get good at the PST, weighted treads with and without fins, and in water confidence. Here’s a great podcast with HM1 Maughan who will be running things when you get up here. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lpos-perspective-ep-7-hm-atf-program/id1511645546?i=1000474815816
Back in the 90s, I was being groomed to become a SARC while at III MEF SOTG. My IDC Chief didn't really tell us that we first arrived on the 'rock', but while he was destroying us on the grinder and pool every week, I only realised that the grooming was happening towards the end of my tour. I wish I had realised my opportunities in the beginning because I would have taken it way more seriously. I never went through the pipeline. On the flipside, as an 8404, I had the honor of working with some of the most elite professionals in the world....the Force Recon dudes at III MEF and SOTG were no freaking joke.
Very informative video bro for people who don’t know. After college I joined the navy to become a SEAL, my initial contract after MEPS was to become a SARC. Got into the warrior challenge program and got my SEAL contract! Ship our in July hooyah. Btw you need a good ASVAB score to become a SEAL or SARC!
You can get a waiver for anything in the Navy,even ASVAB scores within reason, if they like you & want you in their program. Much of a sailor’s luck in any Special program is based on who in charge likes you & wants you to succeed, the other is your will & determination & being at the right place & right time. The narrator mentions that there are windows of opportunity depending on when you enlist in the Navy.
Oh I see corpsmen, docs. I remember a corpsman in my Recon unit in the ‘80s, a guy names Seranos. He was a good guy. Did every thing we did and more. Was like a fish in the water.
@@stephen8996 lots of training, drinking, training, older guys wishing Vietnam was still going on, running up ball buster and down to the beach. Steel pots, funky jungle boots and really heavy gear lol. No goretex. Aglico guys were going to Central America for spooky shit.
Special Warfare at any level is bad ass! Whether Seal, Sarc, Ranger! It takes a special person! God bless them all and all of our U.S Military, Thank you for your service!
Hands down one of best videos with excellent information about what to expect and aim for. 3:10 expecting officers to have better pst scores is intensely great cardio bc even enlisted guys have great cardio.
I am so glad you said that some fleet corpsman where home grown in their unit before the SARC pipeline was created, I was one of them being with a raider company Stay plt and recon
Hey I love the detail and depth you go into with the breakdowns of the pipeline training and specialities. Can you please do one on MARSOC raiders and recon and marine corps special forces in general
@@zetcake3322 SARC's ARE U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsmen. They are another NEC within the Corpsman rating. There is also two levels of SARC's. One is an IDC, the other isn't.
@@tidefanyankee2428 yes but their training goes farther than a usual corpsman goes through. I dont see regular corpsman in jump school, I don't see them with Seals, MARSOC, (occasionally) in First Recon. Putting a label of what they USED TO BE, although in the same field, is not a good representation of their abilities.
@@zetcake3322 Yes, I'm very familiar with the training they go through. What you don't seem to understand that while someone might be a SARC, they are still and HM (Hospital Corpsman). It's a pipeline where they pick up training as they go. An IDC (Independent Duty Corpsman) may be on a ship or a sub. Then there are DMT (Diving Medical Technician) IDC's. The higher level SARC's are IDC's. They are STILL Corpsman, they just have a different NEC now....just like other IDC's gain new NEC's....but they are ALL still part of the U.S. Navy Hospital Corps.....period. You wouldn't see other Corpsmen doing some of the things you mentioned because it isn't their job. Just like it isn't the job of a SARC to do nuclear medicine, or be a preventive medicine tech. These are all jobs "within" the Corpsman rating......but when Corpsman train for and acquire these NEC's they are STILL Corpsmen.
@@zetcake3322 You DO realize this pipeline (SARC) didn't always exist right? Used to be SEAL's had "source ratings" and HM was one of them, just like BM, QM etc... SEAL's became their own rating in 2006. www.navycs.com/navy-jobs/special-warfare-operator.html Recon Corpsmen were of the "home grown" variety prior to the SARC pipeline. A guy would get orders to Field Medical school, now called FMTB. Then they would serve within some unit of the Marine Corps, OR they might volunteer right away for Recon. The screening for Recon Corpsmen wasn't always standardized back in the day. They might do one thing on the east coast and another on the west. Then, if they passed the Corpsmen would learn on the job and pick up schools along the way. Dive, jump, goat lab, etc.... But, even after they picked up new NEC's they were still Navy Corpsmen and part of (and proud to be) the U.S. Navy Hospital Corps.
Much of the attrition problem in the Specwar program is due to accepting recruits straight out of bootcamp. They are immature & inexperienced. In the past, you had to go to the fleet and be at least an E-5. This way you got a seasoned sailor in the program. It is true though, the bureaucracy is maddening and discourages a lot of good candidates. If you go the Specwar route, you might as well make it a career because the training is endless. The rewards come after you leave (if you’re not already physically & mentally exhausted) and join private corporations in which case you will eventually cross paths with Specwar again.
Racing Fuel Mod I know!!! And I’m super excited about it. But I’ve already been in AF for 10 years. Idk if the AF will allow me to crossover this late in the game
Hey! I Absolutely love y’all’s videos. They’ve honestly taught me more than my Navy recruiter lol. I’m going to be a Corpsman and am very interested in becoming a SARC. I have a few quick questions about the SARCs. Does the Navy allow women to try and become a SARC? / Has there ever been a female SARC? I’ve been trying to find information about female SARCs and I haven’t found anything conclusive. I understand that this is going to be challenging and difficult as a female, but is this a realistic goal for me? Thank you so much for your time and am looking forward to your reply!
What is with you females these days wanting to be on par with males? Have you read the bible? Did you know God Almighty made us different and gave us different roles? Can you even fireman life another person who weighs the same as you much less a man 200lbs or more depending how tall and wide and muscular they are? I'm not trying to ruin your daydreaming but I'm telling you reality. It's like me being a civilian thinking I could go take on terrorist networks around the world?
As a Marine... The only navy personal we ever respect are our corpsmen the do what we do we see them as Marines... The toughest training this country has to offer...then if you go RECON ITS EVEN HARDER...FORCE RECON.... there was no Marsoc when I was in..we didn't play well with others...navy seals are good but the base platform is still NAVY...Marines are the SPARTANS OF THIS GENERATION.. the very 1st american special forces MARINE RAIDERS...ANYTHING ELSE IS SIMPLY A KNOCK OFF....
SARCS are better. While Air Force PJs are good they are pretty much Tactical Paramedics. SARCS are at the same level as Army SF Medics since they go to the same school. Thus SARCS are trained in much wider array of Medicine including but not limited too; Tactical Medicine, Trauma Care, Dental, Pharmacology, Clinical Patient Care, Pediatric Medicine, Sports Medicine and etc.
Jonathan Choi you can’t say they’re “better”. They have different roles. Plane goes down behind enemy lines on a mountain top you’re sending PJs, not a SARC. PJs main job is search and rescue, which they are worlds better than SARC at
@@tedh.8356 Officially they aren't part of SOCOM but if they are assigned to MARSOC units which is a part of SOCOM they get in by default. Prior to MARSOC's creation they were treated as red headed step children in Special Operations just like their fellow brother Recon Marines.
SARC isn’t a primary source for SEALs . SO usually have to have a Team guy to 18D training and HM school as a collateral duty. SARC is a specialty within the HM community altogether, SARC is how we get the HM up to speed for MARSOC billets.
i’m 15 aiming for a SO contract for a seal i’ve been working extremely hard for the past 10 months my pst score is top 100 on the seal pst calculator. let’s keep checking in on each other this summer to see how we are doing. good luck bro you got this
Just because they are not well known it does not mean they are “top secret under the radar clandestine black ops” it’s just a smaller rate of advanced corpsman
I’ve been through both courses and I have to say that being special forces Marine recon medic ranger they are both a cake walk compared to Air Force boot camp…
Recommending someone to go SEALs as a civilian is terrible advice. You would know this if you ever been out to the fleet. The Navy doesn't have a "shoot for the stars, land on the moon" umbrella like the Marines and Army have. If you enlist in the Navy with a BUDs contract and god forbid you twist your ankle or receive an injury that disqualifies, you get sent straight to the fleet to finish out your enlistment. You are at the mercy of the detailers that will put you into a rate (sometimes undesignated) that is open. If you aren't lucky to get Master at Arms, then you will be doing deck work for the rest of your two years in. You should work your way up first with the Navy (MA or Corpsman rating)
Joining with a rate that may be closed out from converting into the SO rating for their contract leaves you with zero opportunity to attend training. If you want a guaranteed shot at BUDS, it is best to join as a civilian.
They are now trying to get people who did not successfully complete BUD/s to find a job in the fleet instead of making their lifes miserable. Since their have been cases of suicide rates within those who fail. This is what I heard anyways.
Who is tougher Rangers? Seals? Marsoc Marines? Delta? We are all Americans on the same team. I do not care how many times a QB takes a Snap without that front line & Team a QB can not do his job & throw for first downs or touch downs. I respect Humble people I would rather give someone else credit for a job well done because deep inside I know it takes a Team effort all the way down the line from the Intel to the Hop & Op and last but not least the Evac. Anyone who signs on the bottom line gets much respect & A "Thank You for your service". America needs all the brave Men & Women we can get & those who sign should be taken care of because you are more important than any over paid Athlete's & In my book You are the real Hero's!!!! Always Good to go & Ready to rumble 24/7.... God Bless You.
Getting into SARC pipeline is rough. HM is and has been seriously over manned with most trying to go green side. We aren't currently at war, so keep that in mind.
*WOW, I JUST FOUND THIS VID & YT CHANNEL.....DAM, I'M IMPRESSED w/THE DEPTH OF THE INFO, THE ONLY OTHER CH I KNOW OF THIS DETAILED IS "LIFE IS A SPEC OP". I HAD TO SUB & NEED TO WORK MY WAY THRU YOUR OTHER VIDS, GREAT JOB MAN!!!!*
Welp Im beyond age now but in hind sight, even though they werent around back in 2000, SARCs sound all around more badass than seals. Its always easier to take a life than to save one. Medical training should go hand in hand with lethality and legalities from a ccw point of view
Bravo Zulu on this vid- thoroughly researched. Q: speaking of lesser known groups, I once had a shipmate spin a me a yarn about the Navy possibly creating some “MAA combat” element to “complement/augment” Marine detachments on flat tops- likely inspired after Seal teams were no longer attached to ships. Is this absolute BS- or is there a sliver of truth to that? Thank you.
@@mtosta2861 when i retired a few years back they were starting something like it. I know we picked up a couple MA's in Souda and they stayed with us through our time in the gulf. Once we left they got back off in Souda. It was only like 6 MA's on a supply ship so the carrier might have more if they use them.
Be careful joining with the ATF contract. You are selected for SMT, DMT, or SARC at corpsman A school. You don’t choose what you get, and you have to be ok with any of those options. I was given orders for the SMT Pipeline because I was a civilian medic prior to joining, and SMTs needed medics.
hi i was wondering if you could make a video about how to get your jump wings and dive pins I leave to MCRD in June cant wait love the videos keep it up
rambo chavarria I did my time there. It’s a great place to learn the fundamentals of fighting. Which you need no matter where you end up. The marine infantry excels in the fundamentals. Something other branches think they do. Especially snob units like the ranger regiment and seals. But with all that being said, you’re not going to too many schools. Try out for the STA platoon. It is the scout sniper platoon. You will get a good education there. Semper Fi

Dan Bizarien is a perfect example he made it trough He'll Week twice and got booted permanently at the end of 3rd Phase for a safety violation on the range during land warfare training. While this portion of training isn't particularly physically difficult live fire Close Quarters Battle is very meticulous, stressful and dangerous. You shoot 12-16 hrs a day, 7 days a week for months and one tiny mistake can get someone killed so its a zero Toblerone enviornment and people screw up and are booted from the program.
I was a Seabee CE2, won the battalion land nav competition (in MOP gear)... was automatically slated as the Battalion "Forward Observer"... received my "special" training from both the SEALS at Little Creek and the USMC at Geiger and Lejeune... awesome training by awesome people...
Exceptional rundown guys, great stuff, very clear, yet thorough. SARC's go through a ton of training, maybe even more so than US Army 18Ds.The Navy have completely evolved their expeditionary warfare community over the years, impressive.
Thanks for the kind words!
An SF SCUBA, Scout Swimmer, or Water Infil ODA would have a lot of similarities and training. It's better to understand the unit structures and know that SOF Corpsmen are embedded combat medic support personnel for certain units. Historically, this was Force Recon. MARSOC has been added to that since it was stood up.
Man, these guys are elite. But when yall finna do something real special, like Submariner, or sanitation specialist? Asking for a friend
Would love to see video addressing what these warriors need to do to “re-enter” life after military. I can’t imagine how difficult that would be, especially now (June, 2021) with how “society” seems to be upside down. How do “precision minded, disciplined professionals” get thrown back into a society that is anything but that? All of you warriors (men, women, all races and ethnicities) are truly special human beings, and this 70 yr old man appreciates you. Gods blessings.
Active duty special operations guy here. I just try to call my family and stay in tune with what’s going on back in the states. And remember that the military is just a job and it only lasts while it lasts so make the most of it
Damn, now that was informative. As a retired Chief, I think I'd go for the SARCS. More variety of career opportunities after the Navy ... but admittedly, SEALS would be more fun!
Another dope informative video homies. The new clips are fresh and beats are on point as always. I’ve been watching general discharge from last year and you guys stay improving. I gotta say this video helped me decide a lot if I wanted to join SARC or just stay with wanting to join reconnaissance marine. I respect SEALS and SARC for what they do and gotta day this video broke it down to whoever has the desire to be part of the navy’s elite unit. I don’t think any other vide can do justice. General Discharge you guys are killin and changing the game 🤙🔥
Recommend Marine RECON, they’re absolutely fantastic, they’re the true silent warriors out there. They just get shit done and make things happen, no hype, drama, fanfare, just execution.
Thanks, Afeni! We appreciate your energy and support!
Can the narrator say "It puts the lotion in the basket"?
Oh Snap!!! They have your child and demand one hundred thousand dollars in unmarked bills to be delivered in a black bag to a drop off that will be revealed at a later time
The voice mod is stupid and ruined the video
Put the fukn lotion in the basket!!
Gary Larson where are you
@@paulf1177right now I'm at Wal-Mart picking up some socks and hamburger buns, then I gotta stop by Home Depot for a couple sheets of drywall.
THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR SOOOOO LONG TO FIND THESE ANSWERS..... YOU ARE THE G.O.A.T!!!!!!
I just found your page and this is amazing stuff!! I have an HM/ ATF contract and I leave for BC in August. I am absolutely going to be in contact with my recruiter on this and to get more information on moving to SARCs. This is badass and Medicine is my life while I also want to be a badass medic helping out guys and serving my country!! Keep posting great content and God Bless y'all!!
You’ll screen in San Antonio for SARC your contract after six weeks of psts. Just heads up you’re tied to your ATF contract so if you double tap a written test or fail your PSTs you’ll re-rate and lose your contract all together.
Weeping Neptune thank you!! What do you mean double tap?
Jackson Hughes if an ATF student fails a test back to back he/she will be dropped from the program. It’s not hard if you study and keep your head on straight but if you slack off physically or academically you’ll be reassigned to a new rate. It’s worth it tho. If you do not get HM-ATF off the street you may be allowed to screen depending on slots available but it’s not guaranteed. If you don’t ship with an ATF You won’t get a bonus or automatic E4 after your first NEC (dive school, Air Crew School or FMTB) which is a big deal as a HM. If you want to do ATF get that contract from the start. Get above the minimums for the PST before you ship and start studying basic physiology. Good luck.
Weeping Neptune thank you for all the info! I have the ATF contract already and I’m busting my butt to be very competitive and I leave in August
Jackson Hughes awesome. Get good at the PST, weighted treads with and without fins, and in water confidence.
Here’s a great podcast with HM1 Maughan who will be running things when you get up here.

I really enjoy your videos.
Thanks for your support and your service!
Back in the 90s, I was being groomed to become a SARC while at III MEF SOTG. My IDC Chief didn't really tell us that we first arrived on the 'rock', but while he was destroying us on the grinder and pool every week, I only realised that the grooming was happening towards the end of my tour. I wish I had realised my opportunities in the beginning because I would have taken it way more seriously. I never went through the pipeline. On the flipside, as an 8404, I had the honor of working with some of the most elite professionals in the world....the Force Recon dudes at III MEF and SOTG were no freaking joke.
Very informative video bro for people who don’t know. After college I joined the navy to become a SEAL, my initial contract after MEPS was to become a SARC. Got into the warrior challenge program and got my SEAL contract! Ship our in July hooyah. Btw you need a good ASVAB score to become a SEAL or SARC!
You can get a waiver for anything in the Navy,even ASVAB scores within reason, if they like you & want you in their program. Much of a sailor’s luck in any Special program is based on who in charge likes you & wants you to succeed, the other is your will & determination & being at the right place & right time. The narrator mentions that there are windows of opportunity depending on when you enlist in the Navy.
Best of luck and may God keep you safe
You don't need a good Asvab score. Your line score is more important. I only got a 50 on the asvab. I didn't need a waiver for my asvab
You fail buds yet?
Be sure to give an update when you can. Good luck brother!
The short answer is everything, everything is different about them.
Oh I see corpsmen, docs. I remember a corpsman in my Recon unit in the ‘80s, a guy names Seranos. He was a good guy. Did every thing we did and more. Was like a fish in the water.
What was recon like back then with no combat?
@@stephen8996 lots of training, drinking, training, older guys wishing Vietnam was still going on, running up ball buster and down to the beach. Steel pots, funky jungle boots and really heavy gear lol. No goretex. Aglico guys were going to Central America for spooky shit.
Such a great video!! It’s great to see side by side comparisons of the two and learn about what it takes!!
Thank you!
S.E.A.Ls, SARCs, MARSOC, Delta Force, SWCC and other elites as well. OMG God Bless America 🇺🇸💪
I'm a troll, why are they elite
@@Mo-hc9lc nice PP
PP=profile picture
I had an opportunity to meet one of these young men, once.
The most outstanding individual I have ever met.
Special Warfare at any level is bad ass! Whether Seal, Sarc, Ranger! It takes a special person! God bless them all and all of our U.S Military, Thank you for your service!
Hands down one of best videos with excellent information about what to expect and aim for.
3:10 expecting officers to have better pst scores is intensely great cardio bc even enlisted guys have great cardio.
You guys are awesome, keep up the great work.
SIR, I would think it is an HONOR to be either one but from all the extra training N abilities I would have I would choose a SARC SIR.
I am so glad you said that some fleet corpsman where home grown in their unit before the SARC pipeline was created, I was one of them being with a raider company Stay plt and recon
Hey I love the detail and depth you go into with the breakdowns of the pipeline training and specialities. Can you please do one on MARSOC raiders and recon and marine corps special forces in general
We have plans on making a video about MARSOC. Thanks for the suggestion!
th-cam.com/video/nBOrclf6rwA/w-d-xo.html
When I was in the Navy you had to have so much time in the fleet before you could try out
Yeah I remember SEALS source rating, 50 jobs and then had to put in for it .
Didn't have time to do all that, so I went the AFSPECOPS COM. route.
Accurate you took me on a trip down memory lane
Wow... I’ve been asking myself this question for a few months now.
Great video. You think you guys can make a video about the 75th Ranger Regiment
We got you!
Yall thought about doing a SOF TACP video explaining the process? Keep up the awesome work!!!
What a missed opportunity to call them SHARCs
I want to be a SARC. Being in the shit is all fun and good but being a Demon Doc sounds a bit better
@T M Demon doc sounds cooler, Devil docs are marine corpsman. Sarc go quite a bit above corpsman
@@zetcake3322 SARC's ARE U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsmen. They are another NEC within the Corpsman rating. There is also two levels of SARC's. One is an IDC, the other isn't.
@@tidefanyankee2428 yes but their training goes farther than a usual corpsman goes through. I dont see regular corpsman in jump school, I don't see them with Seals, MARSOC, (occasionally) in First Recon. Putting a label of what they USED TO BE, although in the same field, is not a good representation of their abilities.
@@zetcake3322 Yes, I'm very familiar with the training they go through. What you don't seem to understand that while someone might be a SARC, they are still and HM (Hospital Corpsman). It's a pipeline where they pick up training as they go.
An IDC (Independent Duty Corpsman) may be on a ship or a sub. Then there are DMT (Diving Medical Technician) IDC's. The higher level SARC's are IDC's. They are STILL Corpsman, they just have a different NEC now....just like other IDC's gain new NEC's....but they are ALL still part of the U.S. Navy Hospital Corps.....period.
You wouldn't see other Corpsmen doing some of the things you mentioned because it isn't their job. Just like it isn't the job of a SARC to do nuclear medicine, or be a preventive medicine tech. These are all jobs "within" the Corpsman rating......but when Corpsman train for and acquire these NEC's they are STILL Corpsmen.
@@zetcake3322 You DO realize this pipeline (SARC) didn't always exist right? Used to be SEAL's had "source ratings" and HM was one of them, just like BM, QM etc... SEAL's became their own rating in 2006.
www.navycs.com/navy-jobs/special-warfare-operator.html
Recon Corpsmen were of the "home grown" variety prior to the SARC pipeline. A guy would get orders to Field Medical school, now called FMTB. Then they would serve within some unit of the Marine Corps, OR they might volunteer right away for Recon. The screening for Recon Corpsmen wasn't always standardized back in the day. They might do one thing on the east coast and another on the west. Then, if they passed the Corpsmen would learn on the job and pick up schools along the way. Dive, jump, goat lab, etc.... But, even after they picked up new NEC's they were still Navy Corpsmen and part of (and proud to be) the U.S. Navy Hospital Corps.
Much of the attrition problem in the Specwar program is due to accepting recruits straight out of bootcamp. They are immature & inexperienced. In the past, you had to go to the fleet and be at least an E-5. This way you got a seasoned sailor in the program. It is true though, the bureaucracy is maddening and discourages a lot of good candidates. If you go the Specwar route, you might as well make it a career because the training is endless. The rewards come after you leave (if you’re not already physically & mentally exhausted) and join private corporations in which case you will eventually cross paths with Specwar again.
Aye you guys should do Navy Swcc too
Also the video was very informative thanks!
I think they already have brother, Hey Tommy Tinnitus !, Tommy, get that video A.S.A.P, Recon shuffle, shuffle, shuffle shuffle. . . .
For Corpsman SWCC is not much different
Thanks for the information and explanation it is helping my 15 year old make up his mind about Combat Medicine. Thanks again.
This seems like the right move after my time in the Air Force. SARC is lit
keyrussell6 What did you do in the AF?
keyrussell6 what about AF PJs?
keyrussell6 Airforce has Special Reconnaissance now
Racing Fuel Mod I know!!! And I’m super excited about it. But I’ve already been in AF for 10 years. Idk if the AF will allow me to crossover this late in the game
@@blackhole4 lol every unit does special reconaissance now.
So much great information in one video, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great video, very informative and spot on!
Hey this was an excellent video, keep it up!
Hey!
I Absolutely love y’all’s videos. They’ve honestly taught me more than my Navy recruiter lol. I’m going to be a Corpsman and am very interested in becoming a SARC. I have a few quick questions about the SARCs.
Does the Navy allow women to try and become a SARC? / Has there ever been a female SARC?
I’ve been trying to find information about female SARCs and I haven’t found anything conclusive. I understand that this is going to be challenging and difficult as a female, but is this a realistic goal for me?
Thank you so much for your time and am looking forward to your reply!
What is with you females these days wanting to be on par with males? Have you read the bible? Did you know God Almighty made us different and gave us different roles? Can you even fireman life another person who weighs the same as you much less a man 200lbs or more depending how tall and wide and muscular they are? I'm not trying to ruin your daydreaming but I'm telling you reality. It's like me being a civilian thinking I could go take on terrorist networks around the world?
I've been working on going in the Navy to Become a SARC
It's Sarc all the way for me
how's it going?
Badass video
Thanks, appreciate the love!
Cooolll.... did not know SARCS was a thing. Loved my corpsman... but these dudes.... wow! Thanks for the vid 👍
As a marine all love and respect to our devil docs
Great video. You should think about checking out Navy EOD. It’s another one of US Navy’s Special Programs
That's on our list to do!
Navy EOD are more well-rounded warriors. It’s a shame they don’t get as much attention.
@@ham7357yeah about a third of them are for sure
I believe that SARCs need also the Independent Duty Corpsman training too, about 12 months. 🤔
As a Marine... The only navy personal we ever respect are our corpsmen the do what we do we see them as Marines... The toughest training this country has to offer...then if you go RECON ITS EVEN HARDER...FORCE RECON.... there was no Marsoc when I was in..we didn't play well with others...navy seals are good but the base platform is still NAVY...Marines are the SPARTANS OF THIS GENERATION.. the very 1st american special forces MARINE RAIDERS...ANYTHING ELSE IS SIMPLY A KNOCK OFF....
I was a Corpsman in was SARCS it not easy most difficult thing I have done in my life but it is rewarding when you complete it
10:17 for the Quick Explanation. Hooyah
I like the sick custom 10/22 with multiple optics at 3:45 lol, very SEAL wow
Great channel
SARCS are sounding more like Air Force "Pararescue" to me...
SARCS are better. While Air Force PJs are good they are pretty much Tactical Paramedics. SARCS are at the same level as Army SF Medics since they go to the same school. Thus SARCS are trained in much wider array of Medicine including but not limited too; Tactical Medicine, Trauma Care, Dental, Pharmacology, Clinical Patient Care, Pediatric Medicine, Sports Medicine and etc.
Jonathan Choi you can’t say they’re “better”. They have different roles. Plane goes down behind enemy lines on a mountain top you’re sending PJs, not a SARC. PJs main job is search and rescue, which they are worlds better than SARC at
@@JonathanJCChoi Are Sarcs part of SOCOM?
@@tedh.8356 Officially they aren't part of SOCOM but if they are assigned to MARSOC units which is a part of SOCOM they get in by default. Prior to MARSOC's creation they were treated as red headed step children in Special Operations just like their fellow brother Recon Marines.
Jonathan Choi Air Force PJs and CROs are known to be THE BEST medics in the world. I mean even David Goggins say so…
I’ve heard of SARC also deploying with Army SF because they were low on trained medics.
Out of all of the audio books I've listened to from different Team guys no one's ever mentioned SARC"
SARC isn’t a primary source for SEALs . SO usually have to have a Team guy to 18D training and HM school as a collateral duty. SARC is a specialty within the HM community altogether, SARC is how we get the HM up to speed for MARSOC billets.
signing with an HM/ATF contract this summer w hopes of getting SARC. wish me luck y'all
i’m 15 aiming for a SO contract for a seal i’ve been working extremely hard for the past 10 months my pst score is top 100 on the seal pst calculator. let’s keep checking in on each other this summer to see how we are doing. good luck bro you got this
So how’d it go
Thank you for allowing me to learn about Sarc5
Sarc seems more interesting just for being more under the radar and not being in the spotlight
Just because they are not well known it does not mean they are “top secret under the radar clandestine black ops” it’s just a smaller rate of advanced corpsman
I’ve been through both courses and I have to say that being special forces Marine recon medic ranger they are both a cake walk compared to Air Force boot camp…
Recommending someone to go SEALs as a civilian is terrible advice. You would know this if you ever been out to the fleet. The Navy doesn't have a "shoot for the stars, land on the moon" umbrella like the Marines and Army have. If you enlist in the Navy with a BUDs contract and god forbid you twist your ankle or receive an injury that disqualifies, you get sent straight to the fleet to finish out your enlistment. You are at the mercy of the detailers that will put you into a rate (sometimes undesignated) that is open. If you aren't lucky to get Master at Arms, then you will be doing deck work for the rest of your two years in. You should work your way up first with the Navy (MA or Corpsman rating)
Joining with a rate that may be closed out from converting into the SO rating for their contract leaves you with zero opportunity to attend training. If you want a guaranteed shot at BUDS, it is best to join as a civilian.
They are now trying to get people who did not successfully complete BUD/s to find a job in the fleet instead of making their lifes miserable. Since their have been cases of suicide rates within those who fail. This is what I heard anyways.
Sarcs are similar to Airforce PJ's. Both unknown both trained SF medics but have different missions.
Now do SWCC vs SEAL!
We will do a video on SWCC at some point, it's on our list!
I can't wait for a MARSOC video!
In some of these videos the narration vox is overwhelmed by the background music.
Bubble and Wings = dual cool
SEALs got this one for me
Who is tougher Rangers? Seals? Marsoc Marines? Delta? We are all Americans on the same team. I do not care how many times a QB takes a Snap without that front line & Team a QB can not do his job & throw for first downs or touch downs. I respect Humble people I would rather give someone else credit for a job well done because deep inside I know it takes a Team effort all the way down the line from the Intel to the Hop & Op and last but not least the Evac. Anyone who signs on the bottom line gets much respect & A "Thank You for your service". America needs all the brave Men & Women we can get & those who sign should be taken care of because you are more important than any over paid Athlete's & In my book You are the real Hero's!!!! Always Good to go & Ready to rumble 24/7.... God Bless You.
Thanks for the eye opener! How do SARCS compare to AF PJs?
AS a Marine, I didn't realize Navy Corpsman had their own elite force. It makes since.
Army have it too.
@@deathfire096bullshit. I was a soldier. FO. Care to share
Very informative, thank you for putting this into video form.
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
Getting into SARC pipeline is rough. HM is and has been seriously over manned with most trying to go green side. We aren't currently at war, so keep that in mind.
Would like to see a comparison between Navy SARCs and Air Force PJs
SARC Docs are the best in the world. And they are beloved by us.
I like that new pin that came out with a Hotdog on it. Very cool..
SEALMEDIC vs SARC
Next video better be about marsoc!
It won't be the next video, but we will deliver!
As a 30 year Navy veteran ... I've never heard of a SARC, let alone ever met one. How about a little history on this program. Por favor.
How about a video about the reservist SEAL Teams and their inner workings?
SARC the quiet professionals of the Navy
Great video u seem to like us. Just know we love u. Thank you for the video
I had in my base a delta operator that was pulled from SARCs
*WOW, I JUST FOUND THIS VID & YT CHANNEL.....DAM, I'M IMPRESSED w/THE DEPTH OF THE INFO, THE ONLY OTHER CH I KNOW OF THIS DETAILED IS "LIFE IS A SPEC OP". I HAD TO SUB & NEED TO WORK MY WAY THRU YOUR OTHER VIDS, GREAT JOB MAN!!!!*
Thank you, we hope you enjoy our other videos!
When I went through SOI at Camp P FMTB trained with us on some field maneuvers and ruck marches
Is SARC physical requirements the same as SEALS for competitive training?
Welp Im beyond age now but in hind sight, even though they werent around back in 2000, SARCs sound all around more badass than seals. Its always easier to take a life than to save one. Medical training should go hand in hand with lethality and legalities from a ccw point of view
Bravo Zulu on this vid- thoroughly researched.
Q: speaking of lesser known groups, I once had a shipmate spin a me a yarn about the Navy possibly creating some “MAA combat” element to “complement/augment” Marine detachments on flat tops- likely inspired after Seal teams were no longer attached to ships.
Is this absolute BS- or is there a sliver of truth to that?
Thank you.
What does the MAA stand for?
Master at arms
@@mtosta2861 Oh, MA, got you. The second A threw us off. We haven't heard of that but we can ask around
Thnx. This was a while ago, (years) so I was wondering if it ever happened or was it just talk.
@@mtosta2861 when i retired a few years back they were starting something like it. I know we picked up a couple MA's in Souda and they stayed with us through our time in the gulf. Once we left they got back off in Souda. It was only like 6 MA's on a supply ship so the carrier might have more if they use them.
Be careful joining with the ATF contract. You are selected for SMT, DMT, or SARC at corpsman A school. You don’t choose what you get, and you have to be ok with any of those options. I was given orders for the SMT Pipeline because I was a civilian medic prior to joining, and SMTs needed medics.
Very cool, thanks for the great video,
Of course!
hi i was wondering if you could make a video about how to get your jump wings and dive pins I leave to MCRD in June cant wait love the videos keep it up
rambo chavarria go to recon, or marsoc. Anywhere else you’re not likely to get them. The Marine Corps doesn’t have a lot of money for bs like jump.
Become a rigger or Air Delivery. Active duty ANGLICO does not jump anymore...Becoming duel cool is gonna be tough outside of MARSOC..

@@glenmaughan8299 doing Infantry bro
rambo chavarria I did my time there. It’s a great place to learn the fundamentals of fighting. Which you need no matter where you end up. The marine infantry excels in the fundamentals. Something other branches think they do. Especially snob units like the ranger regiment and seals. But with all that being said, you’re not going to too many schools. Try out for the STA platoon. It is the scout sniper platoon. You will get a good education there. Semper Fi
