Special Forces ultimate hell week

The 20 year old guy (sorry don't know his name), seems solid enough. Not a huge amount of airtime so far. He has youth on his side and seems to have a good attitude. He's not abrasive and has the makings of a good hustler.

Yeah I see your point about getting the head down as quick as possible, but again, thats as an individual. The DS would rather see everyone up past the time limit but trying to get the job done, rather than some people still working and others in the cot.

Its not about having a military mind set, there's a big difference between a team getting jobs done, and staying up for a chat. Lads having a chat? By all means get into the cot. Lads struggling to get stuff done, use your two hands to make things quicker.

Yeah its tame enough, and they just have to last a week. A recruit would be going through quite a bit more to be honest.

These guys don't have the added pressure of learning how to soldier, on top of the pressure. They don't have kit to carry, then have to have it clean for the next inspection. You don't have 5 minutes to yourself as a recruit. Its a complete mind fcuk.

On the ground as a recruit or on any other career/specialist course (never mind on selection), you won't be getting much sleep. Day 1 could be a 10-20km insertion march with 50kg worth of kit on you. Navigating all the way, over all terrain in all weather. Then when you get there, the work starts. You will be non stop for the week(s) and under immense pressure.

Up and down the hill a couple of times with 14kg, is just like a punishment for forgetting to close a pouch. I'm not saying its easy btw, its not.

Oh I agree, everyone has their own motivation for being there, and that might be enough for you to last a week. I think 11 will do well, just mantra's won't help you (holistically) in that environment (iv seen enough of it to know). However, I'm a big believer in whatever works, works. If it works for him, great. However, don't expect it to work for others.

The only universal thing that should get you going, is not wanting to be the weak link, thats it. Its mission, team, about 50 other things, then you. You don't want to be the one that can't do the job.

11 seems to be good guy, and does have leadership potential. I'm not sure he believes it himself though. Hope he keeps his head together, its easy to let the mindfcuk in.

She's getting very little camera time but #20 is killing every challenge and barely breaking a sweat.

I like 10 and 20 too

And this is her second time doing this program she was on it last year but had to pull out due to injury. I have met her at various events across the country she is big into her adventure raising and a very fit lady but prone to getting Injured.

surprised at how she is staying so under the radar in the show.
