Well perks to you because your videos always make my day❤️❤️❤️

As a disabled athlete, I'd love to see you try some paralympic sports. I think having a woman like you get on a goalball court, or on a blind soccer pitch, or play wheelchair basketball/rugby would be amazing, and really beneficial to the sports. We need the publicity, and you could do a lot to help with that. Plus, you'd have a blast.
That’s actually a really good video idea. I hope she sees this.
+
I second this! Come and try wheelchair curling, sledge hockey, (para) canoe/kayak sprint racing, rowing, etc! It would be awesome to see you take on our sports and show the world how HARD (but also extremely fun and rewarding) they are!
For example, wheelchair curling (my fav winter sport) is MUCH harder than able-bodied curling since we don't have sweepers... A parasport "try-day" type of video (like maybe a different sport each day for a week) or even just picking a couple summer and a couple winter sports would be cool! Or you could train with one of the paralympic teams if you wanted to participate in a team sport!
Great challenge! Great why to highlight the unspoken.
@@Aly_Luna ooft, that's true tho! i'm a power chair user and tried hand cycling once... don't think i'll make a habit of it 😅 SO strenuous!!
so funny how Michelle's constantly cracking jokes with these very serious looking SWAT members lol
i literally thought that shes here laughing all the time and they just stand there like 👁👄👁
600th like lol
It's a first responder thing. We all just want coffee

It baffles me that Michelle does not have her own Netflix special, TV Show, etc. This stuff needs to be seen by more than just TH-cam. Well done Michelle. My brother served with S.W.A.T for 20 years and you did amazing.
She would and prob does get way more views on TH-cam, she gets more money, plus total creative control, and can do it at her own pace, traditional is dying and will soon be dead, she said in an interview she’s met with companies that you mentioned but turned them down because they wanted her to do things in a certain way and she wasn’t with it, so yah this is really the way she should be doing things, you’d be surprised how many more people would watch or find her because of TH-cam compared to traditional TV or a streaming service
TH-cam is free, Netflix has a paywall. She's doing better here.
Idk why people want her to have a Netlifx show. On youtube, her content is available for free and likely reaches a much bigger audience. Signing on with Netflix would restic that and she'd be under creative control from Netflix.
@@eXJonSnow I think it was meant to represent it would be nice if the videos like this were available or released every week
totally!
The way the 'wounded' officer said "My leg!" When Michelle tripped had me DYING 🤣
RIGHT why is no one else talking about that 🤣
poor fellas tourniquet was around his ankles by the end too lol
@@squidca2455 I don't think she was supposed to actually do the tourniquet because his leg would have lost circulation
@@j_a.0 exact reason for it, you don't care about your leg feeling dizzy you don't want to loose more blood
@@ispik6087yeah well, this is a training one, so ofc she wouldn’t do it to lose circulation. I’m sure we all know what the tourniquet is for
You see Michelle going through all this intense training and these activities BUT NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE CAMERA MAN DUDE
MANS A LEGEND IN EVERY SINGLE CHALLENGE and the footage is AMAZING
Kevin and Garrett are AMAZING!
@@MichelleKhare AGREED! The amount of times where I’m watching these videos and thinking to myself, “how on EARTH did they get these on video” is like uncountable so kudos to them! The editing is super well done and I love watching these videos so thank you :)
my thoughts exact!
Lol right?! They’re getting flash banged and everything! 😂
@@MichelleKhare you should try HEMA, its a relatively unpopular but good sport. You covering it would REALLY help.
Something I love about this series is how it sheds a light on how hard these jobs are, and how much physical and mental training goes into producing members of services we take for granted. SWAT isn't all about going in guns blazing and shooting anything in sight, even the sniper when the suspect wasn't actively posing a threat waited to see if he would surrender rather than taking life unnecessarily. Thank you so much to these officers and all of our police forces!
yes
Who takes cops for granted lmao they destroy innocent peoples lives every single day
E
training? the basic swat training is 80 hours, so ~10 days. sure, you also need the 28 weeks police academy before that, and 2 days per month of additional training indefinetely. thats still not alot. in my country, just to be a basic police officer, you need 3 YEARS of training, ontop of a YEAR of military training before you even start the police training. so a total of 4 years, thats way more than a swat person will train in his entire career. and then we have our equivalent of swat, which would require more extensive military training, and the police training, many years of police experience, and then the "swat" training which is like a couple of years. the U.S police training is a joke.
sorry, forgot to mention, ofcourse we should respect and thank these people, im in no way critizising them, just the small amount of training especially cause the lack of training can mean they are more likely to die.
Michelle's true skill is her ability to "disarm" super intense people with her wit and hilarity. She's so damn funny it's so great to see all these serious professionals relax into their goofy sides.
super intense 😅
I know these guys. They are serious about their role but they crack jokes like everyone else.
These videos are all so interesting to me, because it makes me respect my dad so much.
He was a marine, on the swat team, and then deputy chief of police until he retired. I guess I never realized he was this tough since he was just my dad to me 😂
When I was in high school he would tell me that he could take down and run circles around any of the guys I dated even though he was in his 50’s and I definitely believe him now.
Did you go tell him that? Show him the videos relevant to what he has done. He might enjoy it and tell you yes that’s accurate or it’s close because they don’t want the enemies to counter their tactics.
She’s so giggly and fun in this video! It’s not what I expected for such a serious profession, but I couldn’t help but smile!
Officers like to have fun too!
It's her coping mechanism in stressful situations, seems it was working well.
As a competitive swimmer people always tell me that it is easy or that it is not a sport. Would love you to try competitive swimming challenges
Who the hell is out here saying it’s not a sport? I can’t even lift 20 pounds while treading water, that stuff is so hard! Much respect
dont worry dude i do swimming comp and it is harder than it sounds like. You watch the people who say that stuff have a go of what you do and they will fail.
@@user-dy7ts4xk2t Holding up 20 pounds while treading water is pretty impressive for a non-pro, so idk why you are giving that as an example of how you are bad at swimming.
its not a sport
I met this chick who got a bronze in the olympics swimming. I swam with her, she was GONE within seconds
this is the first video of hers I've seen but I'm really impressed by how much effort she put into trying challenging things. very positive attitude too!
Same, the video felt off
I love America, seriously....
working in SWAT is actually much more difficult
There is a difference between putting effort and actually being successful though. Please do never forget that. She would not even be able to be in those training situations because she did not even make it past the most basic requirement. I had to laugh when one of the female instructors told her "that was impressive" after she was almost 2 minutes over the time limit :D
@@MrSheduurlike you could do it. She already admitted that she failed before they said it, and they saw her potential and congratulated her like good instructors :)
"But that's cool" at 7:11 is said in the cutest way possible, I am obsessed!
I also really appreciate how supportive your mentors were (eg. on the obstacle run). I really hope (and think) they do the same off-camera with the other trainees. It's amazing to have supportive teachers, not ones who just scream and criticize
This was definitely the kid glove version of them. I went through SWAT school as part of a joint program with my FD to provide tactical paramedics. In all of the various academies I went through, all of the cadres were like this. Supportive but they would absolutely bust your chops and let you know when you f'ed something up. In the fire academy if you did something that would have gotten you or someone else killed at an actual fire they would play amazing grace with bagpipes over the PA system so the entire school knew someone screwed up. But it was to remind you that it would be the song everyone heard at your funeral. Same mentality carried over to both of my leo academies. But at the end of the day, if you showed the drive and willingness to learn and try, they would bend over backwards to help you succeed.
Well the screaming part is to induce u with stress to simulate the real thing.
@@Nervegas I had a similar experience training with a private security company.
I did your typical vanilla access control style job for awhile but got an opportunity to apply for a much more advanced position at what they referred to internally as a "tier 1" site.
The fitness exam was a lot of fun but damn was it hard.
Had to run a mile in under 8 minutes ( I failed, @ 9:30ish)
Had to do 50 pushups in 2 minutes ( I failed @ 44)
Had to do 50 situps in 2 minutes ( passed )
Had to run a fairly complex obstacle course in 3 minutes ( mocked up like the interior of a factory ).
Then drag a palette with about 200lbs of cinderblocks on it about 20 meters, halfway through which you had to climb under a low barrier and continue dragging it. ( I technically failed this, only getting the palette about 3/4ths the way, but they liked my tenacity and gave me a pass. [lol that and I think the palette got stuck in the dirt and they were showing me mercy after I struggled with it for like 5 minutes].
The weapons and tactics training was very interesting though. We mostly trained in lone wolf CQB scenarios. The idea was that there was only ever going to be a handful of us on site, and we were rarely going to be in the same section of the facility. So if shit went down, we'd have to fight our way to our teammates, or create a safe path for employees to evacuate. Here I really gained an appreciation for the type of training a good chunk of my coworkers had gone through in the military (most were former SEALs and a few Green Berets). I cannot emphasize how difficult it is to clear just a single square room by yourself, while under pressure. The attention to detail, their rapid but heavily disciplined execution, their accuracy with a rifle... just incredible.
It took over 100 hours of drills before I even had a basic level of competency running the main course they had setup. The instructor I had though was fantastic. Never got discouraged or exhausted, and always hit me with the same energy every time I failed. He'd yank me from behind by grabbing my vest, point at what I missed and yell "You're dead! Run it again!"
Like, I remember specifically one section:
You had to clear a series of narrow offices with doors offset at different positions (sometimes multiple doors per room). Some of the rooms were L shaped while others were just rectangles. There's one employee to find and lead to safety, and up to three aggressors moving from the opposite side of the course towards you. You have two main options... barricade yourself in with the employee, or escape the scenario. You could try avoiding a fight (hide), or you could try eliminating the aggressors. The course itself was nearly pitch black, with just the ambient lighting of emergency lights in simulated hallways. As far as finding the employee and engaging targets... I did fine after some solid instruction and practice. But where I kept fucking up was by being so nervous that I kept tripping over chairs, bumping into walls, catching my vest/equipment on random shit like the corners of cubicles. I was eventually able to relax and enter that scenario (and others) with much better focus but damn, the stress and anxiety of being hunted down in a dark office or factory floor was intense.
@@foxtrotosc4r Actually, I'm a teacher (Master's degree in Education) and therefore know much about learning and training situations. I absolutely understand, that in risky situations (even in training) a certain level of stress is necessary and should be learned since the actual situation in reality will be even more stressful. What I was referring to in my original comment are those instructors (eg. who most people know from movies) who think, respect and development can just be achieved through screaming, yelling at your trainees and fearing them in many other ways, which, according to many studies, actually does the opposite and blocks every learning process. Harsh commands or yelling in a training situation are absolutely no problem, if the mentor/instructor explains afterwards, how this situation could be avoided next time and gives some positive and also constructive feedback.
@@Nervegas Thanks for your answer! Sounds like you've had great instructors!
the fact that Michelle is, despite being in great shape, tinier than most people doing these things, you have to give her mad props in the jumps as she has a greater disadvantage. she's only 5'2, that's _amazing_ ! Michelle, I applaud you for these videos and giving everyone some insight into what goes in to each subject.
Your point doesn't make sense. Height has no influence on strength, look at gymnasts! If anything, it makes it easier for people of short stature to build muscle. Ever notice how short bodybuilders are? A tall person with toothpick legs would have more difficulty doing that than someone of Michelle's height and fitness.
Everyone immediately assumes my nearly 6ft2" daughter plays netball or basketball and she gets asked all the time. She's never remotely been interested. I can't stand stereotypes! 😖
Exactly! That wall she climbed over was taller than she was
In other words, the strength in her legs would have helped her here, NOT her height. Your feet are on the wall and you're pushing away from it, (from what I see, I've never done this myself). Your body roughly sits more at a 45° angle to the wall, rather than flush, also showing why being tall doesn't necessarily correlate to being advantageous here. They're further away from the wall and they may argue that a disadvantage!
Michelle is fit and she has shown and demonstrated some amazing feats but she shouldn't be given extra props here for being short. That's all.
@@ajbyname as someone who used to climb walls trying to do parkour with my friends as a teenager you do need strength BUT it's way easier to climb a wall if it's closer to your height to the point where even 10 cm could make or break that climb. It's much easier if you get the headstart from a few extra cm in height to climb a wall.
yes, in training a lot of people who were shorter did not pass wall jumps, but I will also agree that you do need strength in your legs. you do have to work harder when you're shorter, especially pulling up and over by getting your center of gravity, head and hips, swiveled around. they changed standards for a lot of different details, and at 5'5 being our minimum you'd be amazed the difference that little bit of reach makes compared to their 5'7 and 6' comrades.
I LOVE that she does the actual drills for a decent amount of time. like the rappel, they could have just stopped when she made it through the window. But they stick to the drill and do it until she also sticks the landing. it's what sets these apart from a local news agency puff piece
the swat: 😑
Michelle: 😁
At this point she's trained at a lot of important stuff so if theres a serious situation she just might be okay
Lol facts
she failed at pretty much every meaningful test and not just in this video. the only things she really did learn is enough to be dangerous, and not to the right people
She’d be the one who most likely knows what to do or what’s going on.
I think she'll be much better than most, but she needs to constantly practice to keep her skills sharp. It's like that pull up she failed at the beginning. She could do it when she trained for the Navy Seal test, but without her keeping up the practice she couldn't do it for the SWAT test.
@@leok7193 she did better than u 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not only did Michelle enjoy it, but you can tell the instructors thoroughly enjoyed the teaching. Shoutout to those guys. Respect.
How is there a maximum time for a sprint. What happens if she runs faster than 55s? Theyre gonna beat her up? 😂
Maximum as in you have to complete it faster than a certain time. Not slower. It's not a minimum.@@nervonabliss2071
@@kellym8287 she still would never had passed the bare minimum for entry though. She failed the physical fitness by almost 2 minutes. That is embarrassing lol... everything else also showed she is clearly too small. Just looking at the door situation with the battering ram where she could barely lift the thing a couple cm over her waist :D
If people want to show how women could succeed in this field too, they should use women who are really tough as nails and athletic enough to actually make it through the basic barrier of entry. The woman here is somewhat sporty but not athletic, and way too short. Not being able to scale a wall with just the vest, without the other gear... yeah that is simply not fit for duty.
9:34 that grin is just priceless like imaging thats the last thing you see before getting your brains plastered on the wall
I love how likeable Michelle is, feels like every video she makes no matter how serious her trainers are she always manages to make them laugh
She could qualify for so many different careers from all the training she has gone through with her challenge accepted videos
i dont think she goes threw all the training also time different between each challenge make it so she wouldn't be qualified
@@slavunion6251 why people so negative all the time ??
Yeah I bet her resume is off the charts 😯
@@Skillorex yeah lol
@@yunusm4208 he isn't negative, just being realistic. You need to train for weeks, monts and you need to keep your level up and consistent. She IS extremely experienced, doing those different things just for a week and never using them again until the reality hits is an ENORMOUS advantage over a person who has never had even that amount of training, even if he has seen a lot of it. But there is still a huge gap between an enthusiast and a professional. Again, not to undermine Michelle but Slav is just stating the fact
love how everyone else is stoic and serious and Michelle's just beaming the whole time. she really lights up the room
They should be serious.
@@homeslice4551 not saying they shouldn't be, it's just funny seeing the contrast between them and Michelle
it was honestly so inspiring to see the two officers supporting michelle through the obstacle course. so much respect for them all.
I love how she jokes around all these serious people, it’s definitely something I would do :)
Why would you do that?
I would too, because they have such a serious demanding job, how can you Not want to bring them some laughter and joy even just for some small talk or to get them to Smile!!!!
The amount of times I got chills throughout this video is insane. I love this inside look, which humanizes these jobs while being respectful and honoring their daily lives. Huge kudos to you Michelle, you are so strong, and bring humor and education in an enjoyable way.
Michelle, you are one incredible person! Just wow- You’re beyond brave, strong….and so much more!! The fact you stick with these challenges and finish them is incredible, you should be very proud!!
Her parents are proud ♥️
I've not been watching her videos as of late, but the stuff she's been doing based on what I see on the thumbnails and trailers are just amazing and crazy.
On that note, after when she did rhe dummy pull; I could tell that she is starting to see stars.
@@theminer1275 her*
Couldn't have said it better
Ikr
hahaha i love it when Michelle goes hey hands down!! 14:54 😂😂
i love that she still has her humor even if she’s training for the SWAT team 😅
Loved your discourse with the sniper as he described suspect:"He's not a danger to anyone. He's just a barricaded suspect."
Had a similar situation with a suspect. He had fired 100 plus rounds at officers. When the suspect realized I had a bead on him he surrendered. The whole time, cops with me were shouting "Shoot him. Shoot him." Street cops sometimes don't realize the rules snipers have to follow. Suspect was arrested (not shot).
@@peterlankton3294 1) I haven't played a video game since 1983.
2) I was military police 1983-87.
3) I was a street cop 1989-1994 (and ERT)
4) I was a cop/dispatcher from 1996-1999 (as a favor to a friend that didn't want to work alone. I was also working as a hotel manager at the time. It was difficult juggling the two).
Definitely an interesting story, thank you for sharing this.
What “rules” did you have as a sniper? If he had fired more than 100 rounds as you said, lethal force was authorized. You’re the dumb one or your “rules” which didn’t authorize the shot. You endangered the whole society because you weren’t to shoot the suspect. Good job.
Thank You.
Thank you for following your gut. You prevented casualties from happening.
As a corrections officer, I'd love to see you looking into that line of work if possible! Can't wait to see more! But if you do, don't just try cell extractions and riot scenarios, also go for experiencing the daily stuff like room and body searches, documentation, yard time, chaotic lunch and dinners, scenarios dealing with psychotic inmates in isolation, inmates with other types of mental illnesses etc. (I'm a Swedish corrections officer, so not sure if the US corrections are at all comparable, but I'd guess it kind of is)
Yes! Riot control is so crucial in prison/jail. Corrections tends to be forgotten but what they do is important too
My dad is a corrections officer. He’s a lieutenant now in charge of training new officers. He’s told me about riots and having to shoot prisoners and throw tear gas and them as well as others things.
Yes as a former member of SORT I totally agree
And yes it is very comparable
Question: How much people you caught escaping?
The first trainers were just hilarious when Michelle said it was like a dance and he replied he wants another dance partner😂 that got me on the floor laughing 😆 I'm sure they're All Great Dancers too 😎
This woman takes documentaries to the next level and I'm honestly surprised that she doesn't have her own app/website. Or at least even more subscribers
Edit because autocorrect decided to completely change my sentence
She has her own app MKfit !!
Yesss We lovee challenge accepted videos 💝
Also love the new pfp!
Nice you got a creator like
What's a pfp?
@@ej4458 profile picture.
Hi I love your vids
honestly amazing stuff
The commitment in these videos are incredible, Michelle. You're a saint to the TH-cam community.
As a SWAT commander I can say that getting correct cover is very important during the missions, I remember the first time I had to breach a door I forgot to take enough distance from the door and I end up dead, but luckily I had saved my game, I toke good cover the next time...
_Don't forget to save your game!_
Are you still a SWAT officer at the moment?
Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us Michelle! I enjoyed every second of it!
Michelle, you would be the most polite SWAT officer ever as you bust the door down with your awesome smile saying "Good Moring!" haha
Keep kicking butt, your adventures are so fun to watch!
Or the sassiest 🤣
Let's get this man to 100 likes!
@TRUE CHRISTIAN Sorry but Russian Bots are not allowed to talk here, try again :)
Tbh she will have amazing stories to tell to anyone. Can you imagine telling people you trained with a SWAT team - firefighters etc.. would LOVE to do what she does one day
Don't forget the Marine and FBI training
@@MV-mm5js Even the navy seals.
I love how she always says things like "I can do better. " she's literally done insane things and she still works on improvement. That's why Michelle is so inspirational🤗
@4:56
I like how he smiled at her knowing gun terminology when I have zero clue what was just said lol
i have a suggestion. i think you should try professional percussion marching band, because we are super overlooked, and i think it would be very entertaining to watch you learn to march and play simple things :)
Or orchestra conductor! Super misunderstood and underrated
@@Freddymusician that’ll be a boring episode
Yes snare drummer
Military marching band, try that
marching band in general
show style

My beautiful illustration of a room got me dyinggg 5:01
My life goal is to be a part of SDPD so thank you truly for showing me what to start to train for! I truly truly appreciate it!♥😎
I just want to take a moment to say thank you to Michelle Khare for doing these videos. It shows that each profession i.e. Police, Firefighters, FBI Agents, Paramedics, SWAT, etc, that each profession is more difficult than what the world make it out to be. I love seeing these videos of yours. It gives me hope to actually be successful in becoming a Police Officer in the near future. There is a huge need for more people in each law enforcement profession and I hope that I am able to get in and do my part sometime soon. I am still in physical preparation / conditioning so that I am more than ready to apply, then dig in and start working. Thank you for sharing this video. I appreciate it more than you'll ever know.
I wish you luck in joining an agency. I don't make a lot of money, but it can be worth it if you actually care. I'm rooting for you!
Hi, I’m new to this channel but your content is something very unique and entertaining to watch! I was wondering if you haven’t already, you could try training to be a zookeeper? I used to volunteer at my local zoo and I have to say that it’s a great experience learning about how to care for all the animals we had and teaching others about them whenever they walked through the area I was stationed in. Working with the animals was a very fun experience and the only reason I quit where I had worked was because I realized it wasn’t what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, but I don’t regret it one bit.
Love your idea, this would be a good one
Hey Michelle, you should fly to the UK and try out the SAS academy, it will be just for you if you’re up for another challenge
Yeah, right....
I don't mean to be rude but she wouldn't pass the easiest test. She couldn't even do one proper push up in this video. Her pelvis, midsection, and chest touched the ground like she was doing the worm. I'll give her credit for trying but other than that she is dead weight. My credentials, I'm in a military with much harder testing.
@@FlannelOpossum You know she does it for the sake of it, right? It isn’t that serious.
@@FlannelOpossum lol, nobody asked for your credentials. She's doing it demonstrate how hard these jobs and tasks are while also challenging herself.
This was absolutely INSANE!! Good on you Michelle! I would never be able to do the physical stuff you put yourself through.
We gotta appreciate her, i mean like she be doing exhausting challenges like this while we are chilling in our home, eating chips and stuff while she be doing this, amazing Michelle great job, thanks for doing these exhausting challenges for us!
Its her job
Ikr she deserves the whole world 😩
@Kylee Hall people probably hate her cuz their jealous that they can't be like her.
It's always such a pleasure to see these professionals being so encouraging! Like the girls telling Michelle to keep going on the obstacle course😂
They all seem like such good trainers and mentors
Hope they are like that too if the camera is off.
Michelle! I've been binging your channel. 😆 I think your ice skating challenge prepped you mentally for so many of these! Well done!!
After seeing almost all her videos you would expect her to be ripped! She’s so strong, love ya
Well the problem is that if you don’t eat more calories than you burn, a calorie surplus, you won’t gain muscle. In order to gain muscle you need to eat a ton. And I doubt she’s doing that
How come you think so?
Massive respect to the SDPD for doing this though cause if you looked in the beginning at the interview with the uniformed officer he had a black stripe around his badge which means someone on the San Diego police force had recently died.
It can be from any department in the state. They wear mourning bands for any department’s fallen officer leading up to their funeral.
@@bestdangguitar5104 ok thanks for pointing that out. I thought it was only the department that lost someone that had them.
@@TXC_Beast2458 no you’re good, I didn’t know about it until an officer told me. I thought the same as you.
Rest in peace fallen officer
i have my biggest fucking respects to all the hardworking officers that put their life on the line. Rest in peace whoever fell in the line of duty.
Just imagine her job résumé under special skills : has done swat, FBI, 911 dispatcher, marine Boot Camp, police training and this are just ones I can remember on the top of my head
to say that she's done any of that is lying on the resume. she never completed even the most basic of training for these jobs, let alone did them.
it's actually offensive to those of us who have put in time, effort and dedication into this. I've done 3 of the ones you listed and I've put in well over 12,000 hours into just the required training and career development, aside from the things I do on my time off to make me better at what I do.
@@leok7193 it was a joke my friends family members work for the police and my dad is a veteran I know how much effort goes into these things but I thought it would be a funny joke say “oh LoOk HoW BIg hEr jOB REsUmE wOULD bE”. and I did not intend to make little of those careers and the people that put in the time to get those jobs and complete the training and its not fair your bringing down HER for all the effort she puts into these just because it’s not as much as the real training we also don’t know what’s happening off camera she could have done other exercises that she just didn’t think were entertaining for the audience to watch and you talk about me bringing down these jobs when your also bringing down her
i think a little text saying "(its just a joke)" wouldve cleared it up a bit more
@@shadowlord0162 well if you have a sense of humor it shouldn’t need a disclaimer
@@Random_edits. i did understand that it was a joke, but you already had a conversation with someone who took slight offense to it. thats why i said that.
I love you Michelle! Huge insparation!
I'm addicted to this show! Look at all you are capable of, Girl!
You meet every challenge willing, open minded, and ready, armed with intelligence and a spirit of adventure.
Props, Young Lady.
I want to share some episodes with my 9 y/o daughter as inspiration.
Great work!
May i just say that if i had this when i was young it would've been such a good help in defining my actual future... literally, the fact that my kids are going to have these to watch and maybe get a sense of what they'd like to do in the future makes me so happy! continue what you do because, even if sometimes it doesn't seem that way, it matters to so many young kids. even adults if they don't feel like they are doing something they love. I've been a fan since this all started and im still obsessed. Thank you
Honestly you are badass for taking on these challenges, remember most people have much longer to train, and get used to the new job or environmental as they are trained in stuff like this, you do it much faster and the emotions you must experience in all this high speed high level environment speed is no joke. Just saying even when you don’t make it, remember don’t compare yourself to the trained expert when you’re a novice. Watching you go through all this in the video all i could think was i want to roll into a ball of anxiety and hide in a safe corner, doing something like this ain’t easy, dont put yourself down when most people wouldn’t even dare try the challenges that you put yourself through.
You’re an inspiration for women everywhere Michelle and the awareness you share for the work field you experience through your challenges gives me a new appreciation for the work they do on a daily basis, a lot of which is often taken for granted when we ourself don’t see it with our own eyes. So thank you on so many levels Michelle and team❤️🥰
Not to mention adrenaline is way higher when its real bullets being shot at you so strength tasks can feel like nothing in fight or flight.
cringe
@@undersuger53 Yea you're cringe
cringe
The tough jobs take more than just physical strength but the mental will power and Michelle shows that in these crash courses into the roles.
Seek Discomfort brought me here! My first experience watching you and Michelle this was incredible, I admire your efforts and I’m truly inspired. Thankyou so much ❤
"Why don't you just take the shot now"
...
"Even though he already shot someone?"
This just goes to show that law enforcement, for the most part, is trained to see suspects as people first. Their goal is protecting people, and that includes the people they have to neutralize. These types of videos are my favorite because you show what's behind the scenes and that is so important. Thank you again for another amazing video!
Yep this part got me! Such a hard job they have
swat is a bit different that most PD's. Mosts PD's are shit
yes and sometimes the officer shot is one of your friends or the suspect shot and killed some kids, they still have to be cool and concentrated to not shoot on sight
Well yeah, shooting in that case would be illegal. Something that happens quite too frequently
@@predadoora that's actually not true. Vast majority of law enforcement encounters end peacefully with no one getting hurt. And the ones that do not go peaceful, force is overwhelmingly justified.
When I went through a similar course, the guy ahead of me, Pat The Truck we called him, picked the dummy up and put it on his shoulder. Needless to say, I had to drag it. Never seen it since that day, even the instructors were surprised. Even when I was Infantry School, I never saw anything like that. Also, breaching an unlocked door is extremely embarrassing lol
BROOOO it always gives me chills when Michelle says "challenge accepted". The amount of things you do is honestly astounding. I'd love to do anything like this!
You should do a milsim airsoft event for a challenge accepted. Maybe get in contact with someone like desertfoxairsoft. Keep up the great content!
Must be great joining the SWAT team!!!!
scary too
@@hehehehaworgrrr1513 yeah reallyy scary
Nah she'll die
@@unkempthorse9308 definitely not for everyone but the people who made it through to become certified in SWAT definitely earned it
Scary but fun
14:44 HANDS DOWN..... HANDS UP
LMFAOO I STARTED LAUGHING SO HARD AT THIS PART
That looks like so much fun to go through the training.
imagine seeing a swat do the stunt she did at 14:00 LOL witnesses would be cracking up LLL
I'd die 😂
This is amazing! I feel like you inspire SO many people in choosing their careers, not only do you do this by yourself but you inspire others in what this is like, you're amazing Michelle, thanks❤
true💜
Choosing a career is fine. Provided they choose you.
16:05 “call of duty in real life is so hard”😂
I love how positive and motivating everyone is great environment just having someone there saying you can do it
"Eventhough he already shot someone..." we feel you Michelle but that's the world we live in...keep up the challenges
In Christmas of 2021, I was just down the road from a Walmart shooting. There were a ton of police cars there, and we saw SWAT teams gearing up. There were more flashing lights clustered in one area than I’ve ever seen in my life. You never want to call that sort of thing “cool”, as it’s happening in a really bad situation, but it was very impressive to see such capable law enforcement. Thankfully, not a single person got hurt.
I've had a similar scenario where my neighbor took illegal drugs and SWAT came, so yeah!
@@ADRichard2117 Yikes! Talk about interesting neighbors. Bet it was interesting to see the SWAT team, though
I saw something like that too. I quickly sped out of there. I think it was a bomb threat but it must've been the entire force and helicopters too.
my scoutmaster told us a story of how his crazy neighbor shot his wife 10 yards away with birdshot from a 12 gauge. scary
@@solinaber Yeah that happens. At least it wasn't buckshot. It would be much worse at 10 yards.
Michelle's Cameraman is a GHOST. Totally epic shots in every challenge.
I love Michelle’s personality ❤❤❤
I have done the repelling move while camping, so cool when you're coming down because you get to slide down - very hard when you're going up!
Michelle you did great on repel. Plenty of Army trainees get stuck or start crying on the tower. You sucked it up and got the job done good shit boss lady!
Its so fun watching you and also educative
She's such a sweetheart yet tough and determined, ngl it's giving "a marshmallow made on a welding machine" 💓💯
After watching your challenge accepted videos, I'm curiously wondering if you have ever loved one of them, so much so that you'd do it as a career - if given the opportunity? You're just so good at them, and at challenging yourself. I absolutely love watching them again & again ❤️
Honestly, why can't we just take a moment and appreciate the time and effort and money that Michelle puts in her videos. She is so super brave and super unique and also really pretty. Love you, Michelle!
ik its so good
FOR CHALLENGE ACCEPTED: I really would love to see you try out Fighter Jet Training!!! I love jets and their sound etc. I can only dream, I am from Namibia, Windhoek and just love watching them. I really would love to see you do it. ✈😍😍
I've been rewatching some of your videos. I'm trying to restart weight training. You will never not be a huge inspiration
The attitude through this is so inspiring. Of course the physical challenges are incredible but the way Michelle manages to keep a light atmosphere throughout is incredible. You can see how the professionals get into it too
This “I Tried” series could so be a great Netflix show!
Amazing series!
Shes just so adorable, the way she is excited about everything
not sure how honed or confident you are in your driving skills but learning how to off road, boat, or trucking! I'm a new truck driver and always cheer on other women on the road! thank you for these incredible videos!
For being a SWAT team they seem really charming, calm, and non violent... I like that.
The police are people too, they aren't as different from normal everyday citizens as you might think.
Almost like... And get this... They're highly trained, highly professional officers who take their job seriously, and most cops aren't what the media portrays. Shocking, right?
@@vangoghsseveredear 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Usually the special operations people have a lot of combat experience and know what they can do.
Its a highly trained on and off switch and they are really nice but if the switch gets flipped they can f you up.
Kinda makes you wonder about stereotypes, don't it?
this video makes me want to join the law enforcement more than the ads that they are showing lol
I would be afraid respect to you
Swat: breaches your door.
Also swat: Good morning
Salute to all Men and Women who gave their lives to serve and protect their country and its citizens. Kudos!
😅 nothing for those of us still alive? lol
@@leok7193 lol
Ayyyy Michelle this is crazy! Im a Huge fan and I love your challenge accepted vids! Keep up the good work!
Me too!
I see the Journal!!! I just got mine and I'm loving it ! 😊
I'm a disabled man and you're an absolute inspiration to men, women, children, and people like myself.
Wow Michelle congratulations on so much success! You have well deservingly blown up and I couldn’t be happier for such a sweet down to earth person. We could literally watch you do anything and feel entertained or inspired. Can’t wait to see what else you do!
You lady gained another subs. This is the kind of content creator we need. ❤
That real life scenario challenge at the end was intense! Good job Michelle 👏🏽
As a guy who watches firearm content on youtube, I wouldn't have found your channel if you didn't do stuff like this.
I think this is super freaking cool.
