At Special Forces Selection, I watched a man fall 30 feet from a rope.
Compound fracture. Bone through skin.
Blood soaking through his trousers as he writhed on the ground.
The instructor walked over slowly. Looked down at him.
Completely emotionless:
“Candidate. You failed to properly negotiate this obstacle.” “Would you like to try again?”
We were stunned.
The instructor turned and walked away.
That was it.
No debrief. No lesson. No comfort.
Just the sound of a grown man groaning in pain.
What I learned that day:
Nobody is coming to save you.
They never were.

@YankeeLibrarian 27 WS championships already makes them unique. No reason to change tradition.

My hot take on the Yankees switching up the road greys.
If they won a World Series, none of this matters. Until then, it is indicative of what the Hal Steinbrenner era has represented — dumping traditions that make them unique.

@moneymosh12 No. Stay with tradition, lose the beards and bring back stirrups.
English

@NickTurturro1 100% Agreed!! Get rid of the beards too. Go back to the traditions that made the Yankees the greatest club in baseball.

@pinstripesnat Stay with tradition and make them get rid of the beards. Tradition means something.

@CynicalPublius @GuntherEagleman Nobody is limiting your rights. Go through the training. Some of us spent our lives being around weapons. what are you going to teach us at this point?
English

@GuntherEagleman This not “based.”
It’s tyranny. When only some peoole are allowed their natural rights, by definition others will be denied those rights.
English

@GuntherEagleman As a retired Special Forces officer, I wholeheartedly support this position.

The difference between the Trump Administration and the Obama Administration is now abundantly clear.
When Americans are in trouble Trump will move heaven and earth.
Obama/Hillary didn't lift a finger. They abandoned our men and women serving in Libya.
Which America do you want to be a part of?

@jabeale The Bearded One!!! That brought back some memories.. SERE 1992, SFQC..

Re CSAR and para-rescue personnel in general: I had an Air Force PJ in my SERE class - he was the only AF guy there amongst Army SF, Ranger and TF-160 guys - and he was an absolute baller. Had a nervous smile, which got him roughed up pretty regularly by the Bearded One, but the man was singularly unflappable.
During one of the last hard-sell sessions my interrogator used him as an emotional lever - had him kneeling, shivering uncontrollably in the People's Pond in front of me as he asked me the same question over and over. Each time I gave my cover-story answer he'd have the PJ assume another position in the water (this was early-March North Carolina) until he was face-first, blowing bubbles. When they had him roll onto his back he caught my eye and winked at me - told me all I needed to know as to whether or not to stick to my story.
When it was over and we were all sitting around a table at Bennigan's trying to eat more than two bites of the banquet feast spread out in front of us, I told the guys what he did that night. When I told them about the wink, the PJ piped up and said, "A wink? That wasn't a fucking wink - I was having a hypothermic seizure."
Got a chance to work with five or six more PJ's during my time there as an instructor and they all shared the same vibe - these guys are truly special.
If the PJ's are involved in finding and recovering an American on the ground in enemy territory, I have every confidence that they won't rest until the mission is successfully completed.
