How dumb I am starting a question in the lounge?

Any ways boys and girls. Signed up for Uncle Sam and have a special forces contract. Green Berets here we go.
Now I'm looking for an intense kick ass routine. Focusing on endurance / strength. I know there is a lot of log lifting in SF Selection. I leave June 27th so got a few months to prepare. Has anyone tried cross fit? I have heard it is great. If you guys have any routines like that could you PM me.

P.S. Tai is gay. Just so you all know the truth.

Whats up man, good luck with the military. Hopefully someone can help you out with the training.

[drdeath613]

maybe im dumb but wasnt Green Berets disbanded and now army rangers ?

[BARLOW]

Thanks Sir. Even if one of you crazy asses makes up one like run 10 miles, 2000 pushups I'll do it. I ain't scerd.

[BARLOW]

Negative. Ranger school 60 days long. Green Beret = 1 year Training after selection.

[drdeath613]

no im pretty sure Green Berets were disbanded after 73 and reinstated late 80s mid 90s

i do know it was after vietnam they were disbanded

[terraj]

I know a bunch of guys that are in the forces that love the cross fit training, particualy before any up coming fitness tests.

IMO- cross fit, running, sprints and lots of body weight movements would be the best training before SFAS.

[drdeath613]

i dont think your right

Army Rangers are light infantrymen that perform many of the same duties as the Green Berets--raids, ambushes, and airfield seizures "by land, by sea, or by air." Any 18-year-old male may apply to the Rangers when enlisting. The specialized training takes one and a half to two years. The first Ranger battalion was activated in Carrickfergus, Ireland, in 1942.

An aspiring Green Beret must serve about three years in the Army before applying. From there, he enters a two-yearlong "pipeline" before being assigned to an operational group. Every Green Beret must learn to speak a foreign language.

if there telling you you can enlist right into Green Beret theres pulling your dick bro your looking at 5 years before anything else this is pulled off there own websites

You can still get it into your contract as long as you make it. A Green Beret also has to be an NCO if I'm not mistaken, I'm in the army and I'm not even to certain.

This right here, and you're golden.

All you have to do these days is be over 20 and meet 105 ASVAB and take DLAB. Contract is signed and official. Basic/AIT straight to Airborne then Selection. If pass selection I go to Green Beret Training. Green Berets do the jobs in the other countries we are not "officially" in and give credit to another country for something.

Haha I had that book. My ex stole it. Lil bitch. Looking up some Crossfit though. Anybody here use it?

The ASVAB does not go up to 105 though your line scores do and I believe it requires a 105 GT score.

You are incorrect.

You can now go from army boot camp straight to Green Beret SFAS

[BARLOW]

yes 105GT whatever hell it is

When I was in the Air Force they paid for me to get a level 1 Crossfit certification. Though I don't use it, I think it's great.

I'm thinking about going SF as well. Good luck to you.

[quarry206]

the 18 X program is a strait off of the street contract into special forces, but it is still ungodly hard to do.

the 18X program only gives you the chance to go to SFAS, does not promise you a green Beret. only the chance to try out after finishing your pipeline

http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjobs/a/18x.htm

the process can be up to three years long of strait training.

[quarry206]

i do know it was after vietnam they were disbanded

they were never disbanded

pretty much everything you said there is wrong, not being a D. . but what website did you use?


for the record, there are about 5 or 6 green and tan beret's on this board. And I am not quoting websites with knowledge, mine is first hand knowledge myself.

*your GT score has to be 105, not your ASVAB

*What fielder MOS did you pick? (makes a big difference)

*How did they lay out your training?
(should be Baisc-AIT-Jump School-Preparation Course-SFAS-WLC-Qcourse)

I have the Pre-SFAS workout designed by special forces, I can send you if you would like it.

BE ADVISED MOST PEOPLE FAIL SFAS ONCE

things to work on
- 5miles in less then 40mins
- running unknown time unknown distance runs up to 8 miles
- rucking with 50 pounds of dry weight
- work out your grip strength and grip endurance
- Land nav- Land nav - Land nav . . REALLY study this
- get use to rucking and running in sand
- Buy this book, almost all special forces recruiters push this book and for very very god reason.
http://www.amazon.com/Get-Selected-S.../dp/0975355279

the truth of the matter is you are really far away from getting to SFAS, by the time you get there you will be in great shape from being in military schools, so you need to just work on your base stuff. . running, push ups, pull ups, core strength, and mentally getting ready for it.

[europeangirl]

Good luck!

[army_cobra]

If you can score 270 or higher on your PT test you will be fine. Most of it is mental at least selection. After selection you can choose on what schools you want to go to. You dont need to do anything special for training. If your in good shape now you will be fine. You just have to push through the lack of sleep and all the bullcrap.

Read the 2 books, enter the kettlebell, but the one to read even if you were only to do one would be "Viking warrior conditioning" it's better for endurance than cardio ever thought of being, forgot the move but it's a swing to press movement with a kettlebell... Anyways, it'll drop your resting heart rate or bpm from like 60-70 down to 40ish

[drdeath613]

i called my dad who informed me we are both right in a away the program that lets you bypass the 3 years you have to serve is new during his time you had to pull 3 years before you could even think about applying

im a army brat from the day i was born the 14th of june to the fact i was on base for 10 years lol never served myself only male son but i wanted to

so im sorry if i had ruffled any feathers i guess my info was a bit out dated

[Tigershark]

Thank you for your service.

[AndrewD54]

105 GT score, yes crossfit will help you, but work on running and rucking and as was said LAND NAV.. in the dark.. the rain whatever. Green berets was never disbanded. Rangers are a tier 3 special operations force SF is tier 2 along with most SEAL teams (except DEVGRU) which is a tier 1 response.

Hardest part of any military training is mental. this includes not beating the shit out of your scumbag squad mates and dealing with sleep deprivation and people who are dumber than you running your life in a screwed up way on purpose.. good luck bro de opresso liber.

[black6]

RUN, RUN, RUN. My brother was SF but more of the tech side. He still did all the missions, (night drops in the ocean seemed to be the hardest). He had maybe 130 jumps and was in it for 7 years. It seemed after Airborne he went to his AIT and then started the training. To be honest I dont know how he did it. Enlisted at 29 years old and worked construction, and never ran in his life. I hated running and 14min two mile was my max. If i remember right he was near 10min 2 mile, but that is one of the main ways they "break" you. Once your body fails your mind is close behind.

When I did my OCS, it was all mental. EVERYTHING YOU DO WILL BE WRONG. For months on end. Just remember its just to mess with your head. I know it will be 10x's harder in SF, but just count each day one by one.

Good Luck and Thanks for serving.

107 GT is needed for an 18X contract

[wmaousley]

This guy should be in SOPC by now if everything worked out.

[AndrewD54]

lol sorry forgot what the minimum was having scored a 114 myself (marvel at my huge brain!)
