SPECIAL FORCES ASSESSMENT AND SELECTION, DON'T OVERTHINK IT

Have you ever thought about a career in Army Special Forces?
Don’t overthink it, get in shape, learn how to navigate with a map and compass and step up.

Don’t be late
Don’t be last
Don’t be light
Don’t self-select
Don’t quit

“Cadre Are Constantly Asking When Assessing Character: Do They Want To Be On A Team With You”

Huge Point

Thought I was too old to go at 30 but hearing guys going in their early 30s and mid 30s and making it is very motivating. Great advice and great videos

[ericjacobson]

Best advice out there, thanks for this. Also, as the Commander of both SFAS and the Q-course you are spot on, we want candidates to succeed! Show up in shape, don't quit, know how to land nav with a map and compass and be a good team player.

My one major piece of advice for anyone who wants to do anything in any Army Special Operations Force is get into orienteering (which is basically competitive land-nav as teams and individuals) as early as you can. I was lucky enough to go to a high-school that had a cross-country orienteering team. By the time I got to selection, I had been involved in competitive land-nav cross country racing for about 8 years. There is no single skill set I can think of, that will help you more throughout any Army SOF's training pipeline, than being absolutely adept and comfortable at land-nav.

Heading to selection next month and I’ve def started that phase of doubt. But I’m still working. Too late to back off now!

You went to SFAS at 35, and got selected. There should be a case study on you, because that must be a first. Incredible

[meanderingmooney]

Headed to SFRE for 20th in September, thank you for the information!

[jtfronin]

I just found your video and I am currently training for selection, I really appreciate the advice and encouragement 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Great stuff as always Kevin, I liked your comment about that the emphasis in the media concerning Vietnam, is about those who came back traumatized, and indeed a lot of them did unfortunately, however a serious amount didn't and they don't really appear in the narrative.

[CullenCox-iz]

Excellent video, broke down many aspects that I didn’t even think about really.

[takseeto]

Great video would've loved to tryout sfas if I was a us citizen. I think green berets are the impressive special operation unit. It's amazing how an oda can be dropped in the middle of nowhere train up a host nations forces build infrastructure gather their own Intel learn culture languages self sustain and learn a wide variety of skills they truly are the jack of all trades. Robin sage looks like lots of fun

[realrev]

Awesome advice as always the info you put out is priceless

[supay]

Sincere like a true father should be. Thank you Kevin!.

[canrolskionxbox]

Had to listen to this a few times. Truly appreciate the insight.

What you said @9:47

That’s what I’m interested in.

That “moment” where your life goes into a direction most people lives will never go. For some reason that means a lot to me

[patboland]

Where is the best place to learn land Navigation outside of the military

[WillCenteno]

I'm 34 and lots of people have told me I'm too old. The only thing that has me hesitating is i have a family. Is there any way i can get ahold of you

[Darth_trillmatic]

32 y/o physically fit, have a wife and 3 kids. Wanting to go special forces through national guard. How hard is SF life on family?

[allhonor]
