Welcome back to the team room, everybody. We're doing a series, right? And the series is called one OR personality that you love and one personality that you hate. Guess which one it is today. Hi, I'm Aaron. I'm not the one that you like and we're trying to sit in the team room.

We hear you. We're going to try to answer some questions. They're all going to be tattoos. Yes, tattoos. Absolutely. I thought we're going to talk about PJ tattoos and when you should get one.

No, I already addressed that on a different podcast. I've talked about why I don't have my green feet trend. This is about you. Stop trying to make it about me. You know how this is going to go.

We got a reading list on there. There's a ton of stuff that you can find. So always start with gratitude. Thanks y'all. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.

Moving on, we get these questions all the time. We're going to do a deep dive. Special reconnaissance so the man the myth, the legend, the trend segmiller is going to talk special reconnaissance and we're going to answer every single possible question that we have.

And we're going to try to build this one. So follow me here, baby birds. Get in line, little baby ducks. We're going to try to go from start to finish to cradle to grave. We're going to answer all of these questions.

So we'll put it in the time stands down below. We'll make sure that you understand where it is that we're talking about stuff, but we're going to talk from the very beginning of the pipeline and the swovie process. So trend.

Step one for a special reconnaissance person. Number one, you got to look good. Number two, you have to not suck. So those are steps one and step two. One look good to don't suck. But after you get those knocked out, you're going to go talk to a special operations recruiter. How does the process look from the very start?

That's the one it does for prior rescue. Come by control and attack me. You go to the recruiter and figure out how to get yourself under the Air Force, which is.

I think it's easy for us to forget how big of a hurdle that is just to just to get into the Air Force, especially these days, and then also to be qualified for these AFCs.

So I mean, that's what you need to focus on first thing, you know, like get in there, make sure you're physically and medically qualified and then really start to look at your physical fitness, you know, as you look towards the IFT so that you can be competitive for the job that you actually want and not the job that you know someone else wants to give you.

Yeah, for sure. And we're going to back it all the way up. So in order to find a recruiter, go to askbackwar.com and use the find a recruiter function. We've talked about it a million times and we talked about how long you should wait to hear back from a recruiter, check the other podcasts. We'll throw some cards in there of recruiters, like no kidding talking about this and letting you know, like, you're not the only person in the world. They have a hundred other candidates, blah, blah, blah. So go to askbackwar.com use the or Air Force dot com and find the find a recruiter tab. You can put one in.

Buy zip code and you can actually get to a special operations recruiter. The difference between a special operations recruiter, normal Air Force recruiter, they both know the same stuff. It's just special operations recruiters are a little bit more sensitive to the special warfare career fields.

You're going to go into what Trent described is the swo v program special warfare operator and Lisbon vector program. So Trent speaking specifically to SR when you go into special warfare. Are you going to or is the recruiter going to tell you okay 100% you have a guaranteed contract you're going in for SR.

No, and this is even if I take a step back just like everything else, having some education before you walk into a situation where you're going to start asking questions is going to be, you know, very, very important so that you can ask the correct questions to get the correct data.

If you walk in your recruiter and you're like, hey, I'm interested in being something like, you know, a Navy seal or something, then you're going to get responses that are very, very vague and it's not going to give you the data that you want to get, you know, they're going to be like, oh, well, these guys are kind of like the same thing, but you started out the process, the questions in and not very precise way.

So you're getting to get not very precise answers. So then once you get into the pipeline and you should understand this going in, it is an open enlistment for special warfare.

And everybody's always like, well, how do I get the job that I want? It's just like everything else in this community. It's based on your performance.

So attack P pair rescue SR CCT they all come in open the attack P's get picked out of the switch course, the special for candidate course.

A little bit earlier to go on their vector because they're pipelines a little bit different and the rest of us go on to the to be assessed and selected. I don't know.
