    This is a great story. The average person, especially one with no background in any facet of AFSOC/proper fitness, is the most inspiring.

    Man this was inspiring to hear. Listening to a guy say his journey started at 240lbs and still made it, definitely helped me believe I can make it too starting at 215lbs.

    This guy said "Oh jeez".. Definitely from the Midwest lol. I'm glad you asked questions about how it was during the the whole process for the student. Alot of his mindset and what he felt is the same as it was for me through the USAF fire academy. Every day you had a chance to get washed back and lose your chance. I think that's what helped keep my edge, was the fear of failing. But I'm glad I never quit, remembered my why and now I'm loving it.

    His story and mine are slightly similar. I graduated high school in 1997 and was working as an EMT in NYC. My ambition for my future was to become a Paramedic and then a flight nurse ultimately. The military was no where on my horizon until after a year I got a new partner who was a flight medic in the air force reserves. Over time of talking to him about his experiences I became more and more interested in this chance of a future. Long story made short, BMT in 99, Indoc, training and first duty station at McChord. A short career, 3 deployments, 8 years and a medical retirement. On my third deployment I became the poster child for not using your radio during a dust storm. One lightening strike, a f**ked up heart and a life of jokes and I would still do it all over again.
    Your stories bring me back to days of past and that is why I love listening. Keep em coming and thanks for the laughs.

    Been a while since I looked into AFSPECWAR. Always wanted to do Army SF myself, but Air Force SR would be my other choice. I am confident I’d absolutely exceed all the PT stuff but I know swimming is a requirement, which is something I really suck at. I know how not to drown but I’m not at all an efficient swimmer

    Great video, very informative and helping me out! Need some advice and some tips, would be greatly appreciated. I’m 19, turning 20 this February. I’ve gotten into contact with a SW recruiter and was thinking about shipping out either on May or Sept of this upcoming year. First was very interested in TACP, but now SR really sparks my interest. One thing that’s holding me back and wanting me to prolong it, is that I am 6”0 tall and weigh 130lbs, I’ve been going at the gym hard and started running, doing more calisthenics, etc. I guess what’s your advice on what I should do with my current situation. I want to go as soon as possible but I also want to make sure I am physically capable of doing everything that I’m gonna need to be able to accomplish. The mental aspect I feel great and not worried at all about. J my physical level worries me and I’m gonna keep going at it, but do you think I should wait a whole year to work on my physical self or do you think I’d be cable going in at 140-150lbs (kinda the goal I set for myself b4 may-sept). Any advice is great and will make me feel way more confident with what I’m currently doing! Thanks in advance.

    • @OnesReady
      @OnesReady  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not super sure why the number on the scale matters, especially if you’re doing well enough on the IFT. Those numbers matter a lot more than how much you weigh (although 6 foot 130 is pretty light). - A

      Well in my opinion honestly you shouldn't rush it, you should focus on making sure your physically and mentally prepared before you get there. Which takes time. But if you that set on going right away then you better work hard before you get to SWCC.

    bruh, this guy dun goof. SR is cool operator stuff and all. but he has a college degree. i would've chosen the fighter pilot route. that seems so much more fulfilling than all of the special operatory stuff such as gree beret, seals, rangers and even their tier 1 units.
    if you listen to all of their stories, the 1 defining factor for all of them is AIRPOWER.
    also, their could even be like a TIER 1 UNIT for AF fighter pilots. a "top gun" esque kind of thing. i just think AF > navy for fight pilots since AF hasa bigger budget. seems more like they would have the secret airplanes, etc.
