From now on (3 months in) the recruits will train to become Rangers. Until completed AGU (Never Give Up)passed they did the common basic training that the whole defence force does. From now on they will get their roles/positions/responsibilities that fall upon Rangers. It's now 6 months to qualification.
Winter/snow has it's problems, but in many ways it's easier, at least if you're on skis. It's easier to carry a heavy backpack, particularly downhill. And if you get in trouble, you can dig into the snow to form a make-shift shelter. (Not a Jägare, but I've hiked in the mountains since I was four.) As for temp, you touched on that but it feels less cold at -20 C than around 0, since it's so much dryer.
When I did my agu and we got to the prisoner part, we lined up and I passed out infront of everyone. Nothing to eat etc. Very embarassing. :) I also want to add in relation to the last video where they mentioned hallucinations I vividly to this day remember seeing what I thought was chinese soldiers in the woods. Of course that wasnt the reality..
Don't know why "taggad" is being translated as "tagged" - doesn't really work in English. Taggad is slang for being really motivated. I'm very taggad = I'm very pumped about this
I did my concept service 30 years ago in the Swedish infantry. During our 5 days survival training I was hallucinating at the end. It was a different experience but you learn a lot about your body and mental limits. Some of the best instructors I ever had was in the Army 👍🏻
Just if people get confused about jaw or the jaw. Käka is slang for eating, käk is slang for food. Käke is jaw. So if someone got confused about that, that's why, but they were talking about eating and not jaws😊
Yeah conscription isn't really something I have a negative view on, I kind of enjoyed my military service on the whole, I did mine a couple of years ago as a reconnaissance soldier in an armoured regiment, it's also quite physical. One thing conscription gives the country is mass and volume, you get a mobilisation pool, it's also a way of recruiting professional soldiers for the army or Armed Forces, that is, people who really get a taste for it and want to work with it after their national service is done, in Sweden we don't do it quite the same way as e.g Finland or Israel though, where everyone does it, I think they called up 7000 people for this year 23/24, the goal is to go for 10k each year, which would be around 10% of each age class(e.g people born 2005). 10k over a longer period of time(as long as refresher training is carried out) could mean for example a mobilisation pool of 200k people who could be mobilized if shit would hit the fan, I guess the oldest then would be around 40 years old.
The comment at the end 22:00: *_.."you CAN do with a little bit less sleep, with a little bit less food. You CAN work a little bit harder and things will [still] be OK!"_* is extremely spot-on with regards to the entitled, somewhat lazy and fragile youth of today. I believe that this exact remark, observation and general analysis plays a very large role when watching the many wrong turns our European societies have taken in just the past decades. I'm referring to everything from gender madness, climate fear porn desperation, mental breakdowns among teens, non-existent "racism" conspiracies and *oikophobia,* procrastination, eating-disorders and various sorts of self-harming behavior among the younger population, etc.

The English translation looks like it's just an autotranslation of the original Swedish subs, so it gets many, many things wrong.

as a swede that want to be a soldier when i get older this is very fun to see someone reacting to our training
Ranger TV (Jägar TV) = open fire 🔥

I think you have to elaborate the translation. "Johnsson, the jaw" is translated correcly "Johnsson, shut up"
Yeah Jaw can also mean käften= shut your mouth

This is Scandinavian cold though 😉
The text is very "google translate" but i like this series.
Trauma bonding at it’s finest.
Wrong title. We are at 10# 😄
As a brittish!
Isn't noce to see that you get good results whitout screaming and shouting?
Wouldnt you prefer this psychological envoirment?
