My buddy was an EO tech and basically trained like an olympic athlete on his own time so he could make it through selection. He did, and eventually ended up in JTF2. OTOH I knew another guy who thought walking to his car through the parking lot everyday and drinking Soylent would get him on CJIRU. He's still trying, bless his heart. I heard SAR turns down would-be olympic athletes, and their recruiting pool probably doesn't include as many brodude crossfitters from battalion.

I know it's not exactly military and there's nothing going boom, but this pilot has brass loving balls and almost made his DC10 go boom.

Fire-bomber pilots are loving insane. Essentially barnstorming in a retired freighter with gently caress knows how many hours on it.

Speaking of utterly insane poo poo involving DC-10s (I'm assuming everyone here has heard of United 232), there's Fedex 705: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnNI1gi7u_U LostCosmonaut fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Feb 7, 2017 |

Here's something that went boom (or whoooosh, I guess) Hubble caught a relatively close red giant in the middle of the stage where it violently sheds its outer gas layers at close to a million km/h and creates a nebula. poo poo's pretty, yo.

Slim Pickens posted:When I was in, rip cadre said something like 97% of dudes in Delta were former Rangers. That might include dudes that went sf along the way, I dunno. We probably attract more dudes capable of making it through the physical part of selection, not to say sf is weak, but there's some next level meat heads in battalion From talking to my dad/uncle and their SF buddies, there isn't nearly as much interest in going to Delta in SF. They prefer the UW/FID mission of SF to the primarily DA oriented Delta. Once my dad became a more senior SF officer he started steering guys he identified as being more into DA type stuff over to Delta. It's not really true today but back in the 80's there wasn't anyone deploying as much as SF, especially 7th Group.
