AIR FORCE SPECIAL OPERATIONS

Rucking Tips Refresher: Practice, Practice, Practice

I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately again about passing the selection course and many of them have to do carrying a rucksack and many of the candidates are worrying about being able to tote the pain pill to the standards in the course. The first piece of advice I’ll give is to step […]

Don’t Let the Elements Dictate Your Preparation For Selection

Don’t Let the Elements Dictate Your Preparation For Selection

“No Days Off.” That should be the mantra of all aspiring Special Operations troops. And we do what we can here to help those young people prepare. We post a daily workout program to help aspiring Special Operations candidates to properly prepare themselves physically for the various Selection courses. Being prepared physically will also carry over […]

Rucking For a Cause on Veterans Day

Rucking For a Cause on Veterans Day

Yesterday in a post we spoke about giving back to our people and community by getting involved in many of our Veterans Day events locally. Here is a way everyone regardless of whether they served or not can give to some great and needy veterans organizations. While searching for local events on Veterans Day, I […]

Chasing Your Passion Is Seldom the Easy Path But Worth It

Chasing Your Passion Is Seldom the Easy Path But Worth It

he two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why “The Equalizer” Before I begin here, I first have to say, that although I love the film by Antoine Fuqua, starring Denzel Washington, the quote that they attribute to Mark Twain, was one he […]

New Push-up Technique Makes Things Easier, Not Harder to Grade

New Push-up Technique Makes Things Easier, Not Harder to Grade

New Pushup Technique Makes Things Easier, Not Harder to Grade A story that was posted on Military.com yesterday was intriguing as it will no doubt, affect many soldiers in the Army, but especially those attempting to go thru Selection in the Army’s Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) or Ranger Selection and Assessment (RASP).

Train For the Long Haul in Special Operations

Train For the Long Haul in Special Operations

We have mentioned this not too long ago but it probably bears repeating, especially now that the Selection courses are running and the next batch of candidates are gearing up to attend. You don’t have to be a marathon runner, a professional weight lifter or a bodybuilder to pass Selection. Not every Special Operations trooper […]

Iron Man? Russian Special Ops Going For Predator Camouflage

In the never-ending search for the next best technology, both the United States and Russia are searching for armor, camouflage, and exoskeletons to carry the next generation of Special Operations Forces into battle. And as they are both working on the latest upgrades for their troops, some of the newest technology looks like it came […]

Speed Up Your Recovery After the 12-Mile Rucksack March

Speed Up Your Recovery After the 12-Mile Rucksack March

Our Sunday daily workout piece to help our prospective candidates prepare for Selection featured a 12-mile rucksack march. And hopefully for those that followed it and conducted it, (it was a cold 40 degree, rainy morning here), followed our normal rucksack marching tips. Wearing the correct boots and socks, having the correct and comfortable clothes […]

Workout Routine in a Rut? Try the Georgia Throw Down Thursday Challenge

Workout Routine in a Rut? Try the Georgia Throw Down Thursday Challenge

We talk often here about how Special Operations Forces are not athletes but tactical military members. That’s not to say that SOF troops aren’t athletic but that training an operator is much different than training a football or baseball player. However, certain aspects of each’s workouts have bled into one another’s training regimen. Some of the […]

Character Is a Very Important Discriminator During Selection

Character Is a Very Important Discriminator During Selection

“Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.” – Bruce Lee “Just because you are a character doesn’t mean you have character.” – Winston Wolfe -Pulp Fiction One of the things that will be given a lot of weight during Selection is a candidate’s character.
