    Selection: The Special Operations Experiment

    I started watching this mini series. The title of the thread is the name of the series. It is PHENOMENAL. 30 civilians go threw a pseudo military selection course. The selection course is run by former SOCOM guys. Rangers, Green Berets, and SEALs.

    Has anybody else been watching this?

    Watched the first episode, its entertaining for sure. It appears to be dumbed down compared to the army training I've done.

    Same, It has to be. There's no way the average person would survive if it wasn't. By the third episode it gets stupid intense though.

    Never seen it. They had a show a few years ago with the same premise but with the british sas. As you guys mentioned above it would be less intense then the real thing. I did the aus sas selection course (unsuccessfully) and that cvnt broke me after 2 weeks. Thats why these guys are the top 1%ers it takes a very special bloke to preform at a elite standard all the time. physical fitness can be learnt but that mental thing inside of you that just keeps you pushing is something you are born with.

    Everyone is a tough cvnt until you go a week without food/sleep and are still expected to preform at a high standard.

    Of course we still have one. Why would we not? We only have a population of 24mil so it is only a tiny force. But we always aim for quality over numbers. Because we just do not have the people like bigger countries do.
    Ask the gooks what they thought of our fighting
    ability in vietnam. After the battle of long tan they were to pussy to engage our patrols. Cunts
