Either you'll do very infrequent jumps (all with combat load) or you'll do frequent jumps (some with and some without full load). If you do frequent jumps with full load, goodbye legs. There's some debate about whether HALO/HAHO are actually practical because of the risk of injury or death even...

Stress drill to simulate shooting after running. Heavy breathing causes significant bobbing of the sight and this teaches you how to manage that motion while keeping some semblance of accuracy.

SEALs/any naval SOF in US generally have a SARC in them. His entire job is being a medic and will often be kept in relatively safe positions to make sure he doesn't get hurt. Much like how they use JTACs/CCTs. Green Berets also have 18D who go through the SOCM. These compositions can be...

Pretty cool to see the shield carrier support thing (I refuse to call it an exoskeleton) being used in actual ops. Not the sexiest tool in the shed but very practical.

I will double down on what @SwordOfDarkness says. Indian Military will take PoK within 5 years and be pulled into another COIN marathon afterwards. Manpower can not, will not and should not be cut.

That's a good physique by an standards. As @COLDHEARTED AVIATOR said, their diet is lacking in protein and thusly, they probably have some deficiencies due to their regimen but considering their diet, I can challenge anyone to find such specimens. Room for improvement is always there but the...

Not even a medic tbf. Just a doctor. She'll probably never see true frontline. At most, be posted at the front most field hospital if anything.

QAT is an outlier. Probably the only unit in India which is inching towards SOF status without even being SOF. Love these guys to death. Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't they first ones to obtain GPNVGs and acoustic gunshot detectors?

Ego and interpersonal relations with the big Army seems to be the dealbreaker for our elites. There's some substance to the fact that since SF is so small and the officers aren't usually commanding as large of a formation as their counterparts in infantry or something like armored corps, they...

Suuure. Mods should start banning people who prop up enemy propaganda to further their point. Did he tell you to talk about it all on a public forum?

Not true. SEALs or any other SOF are the same average height as the average height of America. Height doesn't provide any advantage in terms of fitness and the pipeline doesn't test or screen for it. There are people like Marcus Capone and then there are utter midgets like Nick Norris.

Americans would've nuked their own land? Cool theory bro. Look, guy. Cringe mat kar ab. All of these elitepredator writeups have been written and rewritten ten times over on this thread. And the Pakistanis weren't beheaded in that op. We don't have jihadis in SG.

Some of the members here would intentionally play into China's propaganda hand just to win an argument. Stop this bullshit about LAC, knowing full well that the point you're making is utterly devoid of logic.

Didn't realize the government had already ordered a full scale war. I get the complaints about equipment and training but know when to stop arguing lest you look like an uninformed guy. Our military is still one of the best in mountain warfare and it's across the board for infantry or SOF. As...

I didn't know mine or the previous comment talked of steroids. I clearly said muscularity, not strength. Those are two different things. As for the difference between myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, I know full well and know that it still doesn't matter in the military half as much...

Muscularity is useless in military anyways. Endurance rules. If we had a thousand different mobility platforms, maybe it would make some sense but the mountains demand a lean, enduring marathoner more than anything else.

A world of difference in snatching Habib from Nepal and snatching Dawood from Dubai. I don't mean to undermine the snatch but Nepal is a super-permissive environment for us Indians and vice versa. What I mean is-...

3 malfunctions in 11 jumps is not just faulty equipment. It's culpable homicide attempt by the manufacturer at that point. I know there was some experimentation with the automatically deploying system (don't remember the name) and it would malfunction for a hundred different reasons. Was this...

I've heard a lot of rumor which would suggest SG has gear on par with proper SOFs. Some pictures too. Again, I assume it's one of those trial pieces that were never standardized but SG is an opaque organization. Could most definitely be an outlier in that realm.

Can you be normal?
