Good on you for not quitting. Massive respect brother. Most news anchors would’ve just walked off

[Gypsyman]

Awesome piece brotha. People don't realize how elite our special operation forces and teams are. You as an elite athlete that can now speak on a small part of what it takes. Respect...

How do you train to navigate a 20 degree slipped roof? Asking for a friend.

[teresalegler]

Not a job for a lazy person. Much respect for all who serve. Our nation is blessed to have such dedicated protectors on duty.

Cameraman is still the MVP, he didn't even breath with that heavy gears loading on his hsoulders.

[glenstevens]

Love seeing this stuff. people don't understand how tough service can be.

[WhiteRaven]

It's always a good thing to see a world champion athlete (not a hero) train with real heroes who work harder to ensure peace and stability while maintaining a low public profile with not even a ten of the money. GLAD to be an American

Guess not all days are quiet days huh?

[gordondewittjr]

Nate, good on you and representing those that serve! Embrace the suffering!

[mickeyjeangresham]

Great job for sticking through the whole way! What a great way to honor and show gratitude for what the secret service does every day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[mancerrss]

That's so entertaining and informative. I really do believe U.S. Secret Service remains to be the strongest, most trained men of the US Government. They gotta be, because you have to protect the Executive branch.

This was a fantastic piece. A great eye opener into the strength and drive of these people. All of them.

[PrideRock]

My dad was one of the founding members of the CAT team. He actually is the one who developed some of the same tactics and training exercises they still use today.

[markweiss]

Well done bro…respect for going thru it.

[timboslice]
