How important is it in the modern era for soldiers/security personnel to be buff/physically-strong? I don't mean that in a trivial sense - we all know that physiology has an impact on observers, and a jacked military will be feared more on a primal level.
>>
>>31692593
Depends on what job.

Green Beret and expect to cross one side of a shithole country to another in fortnight? You're going to need to be mostly lean muscle.

Security guard who's acting as a bouncer? Doesn't hurt to be the incredible bulk.
>>
For security its ultra important, you cant mag dump when your bouncing a club.
For front soliders, being able to carry more shit is nice but runninng around and shooting stuff is more important than benching double your weight and what not.
>>
>>31692593
The tendency for modern SOF is to turn away from body building physiques and focus more on "functional fitness". That said a lot of dudes focus less on their cardio and more on getting big even though the command keeps telling them to focus on their cardio.

Realistically speaking the past ten years or so have seen soldiers focus less on long movements and more on short engagements. So more of a focus on power, however long range patrolling seems to be coming back in vogue.

Granted I've got a pretty skewed view of things.
>>
The big guys were always the first to drop out of long arduous movements. Your typical Ranger weighs about 160 lbs and can run like a gazelle and carry a land anchor forever.

>>
>>31692626
This, most rangers and shit lose a shitload of mass through ranger school, and go lean otter-mode. Muscle requires calories and oxygen, so less mass = less food and more energy on the long rucks.

For bodyguards, bouncers, security personnel, and MPs, mass is king baby.
>>
>>31693158
Dudes lose mass during Ranget school due to a literal starvation diet. You only get about 2400 calories daily while expending well over 3000. This is not normal, pleasant, or healthy.
>>
>>31693519
>This is not normal, pleasant, or healthy.

>>
>>31693711
Ranger school goes a step beyond normal soldiering. Also when you do go without food soldiering it's generally not deliberately done, and only for a small amount of time. Ranger school does so deliberately and over the course of several weeks to stress you out and see how you preform.

Depends what you consider buff / physically strong. These days there's more buff guys because we can afford to feed them more calories and missions in today's wars aren't that long - you're not living off rations and scavenged food 24/7 days a week.

The guys that do best in special forces tend to look quite "average"; you want cardio capabilities like a marathon runner, you need a reasonable amount of muscle to not wear down while carrying a heavy load and traversing rough terrain and you tend to have a little bit of fat to survive longer on rations. The end result are guys like in this pic.
>>
>>31692593
Depends on what the soldier does, cardio is hugely important though for nearly everyone as that'll keep you rolling when nearly everything else breaks down. Strength if you're a part of an infantry unit helps as well because you're humping along with about 40kg of gear, 10-15kg of armour and whatever weapons you end up having.
But cardio will let you hump it for longer and be more aware of your situation and circumstances. Fat also helps when you burn through whatever is in your belly and end up running on empty.

This. Any other answer is wrong. Having a cartoon character's physique is in no way advantageous to any operator, but if you're some secret service suit or a bouncer it's fine. If you *look* at operators, you never see them looking like comic book GI Joe, so it stands to reason that it's not something that would be advantageous. They have all of the time in the world to look like it, so if it was the right thing to do you can bet it would be the goal of their training regimen.

This this this.

It's not even debatable, but for some reason /fit/ fags are so insecure that they gotta make themselves and others believe that big bulky muscular physiques are the epitome of fitness.

And I say this as a buff fat power lifter who does security. Now I'm 260, when I was infantry in the Muhreenes I was 160 but a hell of a lot better conditioned.

Doubt I could hike a mountain with another 80lbs on my body at the moment.

Definitely can't run more than a mile. Barely can do a pull up.
>>
>>31692593
>How important is it in the modern era for soldiers/security personnel to be buff/physically-strong?
it's counterproductive if you weigh more than 200lbs, all you'll do is wear your knees out faster + have lower stamina/mobility. mobility matters a lot, whereas being able to benchpress 100lbs more than the enemy is irrelevant.

>>
>>31692593
you'll need to have a healthy active and passive locomotor apparatus and lots of cardiovascular endurance. strength along the lines of being able to do 50 push ups and 25 pull ups would b beneficial. gymrat muscles like james yaeger got in recent years are useless though.
>>
A lot of special ops guys can be just a hair over 100lbs and made to carry their weight in gear. Nothing wrong with dat.

Although true, it doesn't matter how strong or fit you are - bullets will kill you dead.

Fitness and strength DO, however, matter when it comes to carrying gear, running around on the battlefield, or having to haul one of your fallen /k/omrades so they don't become a man-sized fleshlight for the enemy

Dont be deterred lot of people get rejected their first go too. The academy is a big deal if you pay for it, it shows a lot. and if they ask if you applied anywhere else ALWAYS SAY NO.

Would a suit and tie be over the top? I was just curious about SWAT, it seems most of them are ex-mil. Best chance I'd have is a street crimes unit or something.

One city has a Chiefs review where I'm guess I meet the higher ups and speak with them regarding the job/why I want to be a LEO.

If you're not wearing a suit and tie you're not dressed professionally enough for the job.

Please read all of this: https://forum.officer.com/forum/public-forums/ask-a-cop/hiring-recruitment-process-questions/96526-the-applicant%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%84%A2s-guide-to-getting-hired
>>
>>31704934
Depends where you live man. A lot offer sponsorships where they pay but they are far far more competitive then actual certified positions. Suit and tie of course. SWAT is not always ex-mil they want guys who are team players, one of the boys, and in great great physical fitness shape (specifically strength/fighting ability)

So heres how it usually goes
1.) apply
2.) written and physical exams
3.) interview (could be with chief could be with SWAT could be with detectives)
4.) background investigation
5.) polygraph or CVSA
6.) oppurtunity for employment
>>
>>31704938
This its the same with all the SWAT/SRT teams they all use heavily as well.

You also wont be able to go straight into SWAT, SRT, Vice, Gangs, homicide. That usually is available after 2 years employment.

cause it comes with withdrawal symptoms which can kill or render you useless, like your a marksman and you drink caffeine then suffer the shakes, that shit could cost you your life.

Why do you think steroids are banned from the Olympics? How many people need to OD before you realize its a stupid idea. We did do in ww2 though.
>>
>>31704821
They do. ALmost all of them are given these.

>>31705012
Completely wrong. They need to repair at a far greater rate and ensure longevity because they are costly investments. So yes they do use whatever it takes to get the mission done.
>>
I work closely with Rangers, Special Forces, and the occasional SEAL. Run into USMC special operations (raiders, force recon etc) on occasion.

One thing that was interesting to me is that all SOF have a baseline of strength. If you can't haul 100 pounds of gear over rough terrain... you can't hack it in standard light infantry much less special operations.

The only people shorter than 6" are powerlifter types with no necks.

Only British SAS still does the "small and clever guy" thing, American SOF overwhelmingly prioritizes raw strength first, with brains second. Doesn't mean American SOF is dumb, far from it... just that the first thing that makes it through the gates is physical capability, with mental acuity and strength a second priority that works itself out with time (dummies get the boot slower than weaklings).

Interesting to note: it is crazy easy to get steroids in SOF legitimately through the medical system, and it is definitely not frowned upon AFTER passing through schools. Legitimate use of steroids for fucked up joints easily mixes in with grey area use of steroids for strength. In particular, the military has realized that hemmoraging SOF to Call of Duty: Garrison life is a bad deal, so the amount of physical therapy and even mental health being given to anyone in SOCOM is impressive compared to the start of GWOT

The standards and conditioning programs you need to get through schools are ALL THERE in MULTIPLE BOOKS which give you STEP BY STEP, WEEK BY WEEK programs to turn skiny 18 year olds into men within months. It really isn't rocket science.

Steroids are banned because the edge you would gain would demolish the competition. Again people find ways around this. And that edge you gain would be perfect for a soldier.
>>
>>31705051
Yes they definitely do make a soldier better thats why we used them in ww2 however they can also kill or possibly lower a person life expectancy as well.

SOF, SWAT, etc. use them. WW2 steroids did not make anyone roid rage or go nuts (myths). you are thinking of amphetamines. They two largely different things. In moderation studies have shown roids (injectables not orals) have virtually 0 side effects.

Endurance and stamina are essential.

A hungry skeleton would look buff after putting on a combat uniform with equipment so huge muscles would impede motion.

Being buff is OK, being bodybuilder huge can work against you.

I'm not doubting everyone in this thread but from what I've seen most vets are into crossfit/mma/functional fitness kind of shit. I don't see how being yuge is helpful beyond a certain point. You need to be able to move shoot and carry bags/the occasional teammate. You can do all that and still beat up mohammed with ease being half the size of the guys posted here. Being so big you depend on roids and an insane diet to keep your shape seems like a detriment even if youre doing lots of short of missions with breaks at base in between, no?

It's an issue though when we're in a squad clearing close quarters and your big roided out ass is in my FOF or you're struggling to get through shit with your gear on. Gigantic He-Man Fuckers just clog the pipe, son.

So you want a happy medium. 5'8" - 6'4" is a good range, and with lean muscle. Still serviceable. That's the kind of composition you want for long distance humps through rugged terrain, or for urban CQC.

The big-ass dudes are the types I'd use for tip of the spear attacks, MARSOC and Rangers being sent in after SEALs have taken out targets of interest.

Same with Pat McNamara.
Too much mass and time wasted lifting plates/eating like a garbage disposal instead of running.
Take a look at the current AD guys from those units and you'll see there's a pretty dramatic difference in build from the aforementioned dudes.

KD is probably the only guy whose fitness and build are still representative of AD SOCOM/Tier 1 guys as he still regularly pushes 5 and 10 mile runs every day and completes 25-50 mile ultramarathons.

not really. most of society is completely indifferent to steroid use, and implicitly supportive of it via basically our entire sports industry and much of our action-entertainment industry. we just have this facade where we pretend to hate the people who are caught doping in what are supposed to be "fair" competitive situations despite knowing full well that literally everyone in the upper echelons of all physical sport are doing the same thing.
