yes hey Jacko thanks for being here I’ve been in the Army for three years now and for the past year I’ve been thinking about putting in a packet for Special Forces selection so I guess I just wanted to ask you to talk a little bit about when you join the SEAL Teams and what did you do to physically and mentally prepare yourself and and generally why did you why did you decide to join man I wanted to do that since I was a little kid when I heard that this I heard that the seals was the toughest training and that’s not the necessarily true thing all the training is hard there’s the Special Forces the the MARSOC units the Raiders the Air Force PJ’s and CCC is that it it’s everyone’s got their awesome Special Operations units and the training is all hard and also when I heard that the seals the toughest training I said okay that’s what I want to do what do you do to get ready for you know what you got to do to get ready for it you you know army guess what you’re gonna be humping a rock you’re gonna be doing forced marches you’ve got to be able to run you got to build a nav you got to be able to do push-ups and pull-ups and dips and rope climbs and obstacles that’s you got to do you got to train hard you got to train as hard as you possibly can and then you have to tell yourself that you’re not gonna quit no matter what happens no matter what happens you’re not going to quit no matter what happens because they’re gonna play a little psychological games on you like like let’s say they go all he’s in good shape he’s you know we can’t really touch him physically he’s in really good shape so now you know what they’re gonna do they’re gonna say oh you know you failed this academic test you’re not smart you’re not really smart enough I mean you seem like a good guy but you’re not really smart enough you’re the kind of you’re the kind of person that would get someone killed you’re gonna make a mistake they’re gonna start attacking you psychologically or if you’re psychologically strong but you’re physically weak they’re gonna be like hey you’re the kind of person that won’t be able to carry me out combat we don’t want you there just saying that don’t quit that’s it don’t quit go get some
