Any special forces organization more elite than Delta Force or

Probably, not that an anime website is likely to know.

You know why they call them special forces?

Because they perform specialized tasks. They aren't interchangeable generalists like infantrymen.

It doesn't make any sense to think in terms of "more elite" when they do different jobs

Just kill me. I want it so bad now that I'm in.

OGA is even higher up the food chain than SAD. It literally stands for "Other Government Agency",

>>34835973
Bullshit, you still have a good few years before the cutoff. The only wall is in your head.

>>34836017
Literally fucking everyone tells me I wont even be able to keep up let alone compete with the kids

>>34836007
>higher up the food chain than SAD
Hardly nigga. DEA, FBI, even the rare occasions the IRS when they had a reason to be in Iraq, were recorded as OGA. Theres nothing "elite" about it.

Devgru? 24th STS?

>>34836047
They tell that to everyone. Look at Shrek, dude wantes to be a Ranger and everyone laughed at him. He retired as Delta. Only thing stopping you is yourself. Your mind is gonna quit way before your body.

>>34836139
devgru is on par with delta

>>34835851
Technical Operations Support Activity.

Not more elite but more obscure.

>>34836047
I once heard about an NZSAS guy who passed selection in his mid 40s. No idea of the veracity of that though, but I guess true or not it comes down to how bad you want it.

>>34836759
>>34836592
isnt the cutoff entry point 27 years old?

>>34836766
oldboy that I replied to is 24.

One of the Delta guys passed selection at age 42 or something.

Hope you went Ranger tho.

That's some good ham-fisted writing there marine! Oorah!

iirc the average age of SOF operators is about 25-30

CSM Walt Shumate. He was 44, oldest at the time but he was also part of the very first selection class so there's that

Do you have a chance at 21?

Army ISA

>>34835973
You have a good shot lol just sign with a 18x contract

>>34836047
Just be fit, you can.

>>34835973
Most officers are 22-23 so there'd be no SF officer if that was true. It's just a matter of being past a certain point of fitness and then ( the hard part) mental toughness. You can do it just, you just have to be fit, not get injured.

SSUA, only 17 members.

>>34838169
Realistically, what's the cutoff? How long does it take to get into SOF?

I dont get it why people put the army on a pedestal or want to work in a shit job with no pay. Im bailing this country soon as I get my masters done.

>>34838161
19 year old seals is a thing?

>>34839559
yep. BUD/S is 6 months, Jump school 4 weeks, SQT 6 months. Counting basic too, you're looking at a year an a half from joining to Trident. Join when youre 18 or hell, even 17 with the waiver and you have an 18-19 y/o SEAL.

>>34839162
Can officers be SF? I thought that was only for enlisted

>>34838161
If it makes you feel any better, 2 SEALs on the Bin Laden raid were 25.

>>34839598

Yes, but you must be at least a Captain to lead an SF team.

t. my older brother was a Green Beret

>>34835973

>wanting to be an operator that isn't some sort of licensed professional (boat, plane, etc) with real world employment opportunities

look I get you want to shoot people but get a law degree and become a cop instead

>>34837095
Don't listen to retard up there. You can't even go to SFAS until you're 21, you're fine.

>>34835851
TFO, RRC, FBI HRT, CAG and DEVGRU are the top tier units that don't exist.

>>34839616
>>34839642
Well shit. I guess that means I'm going to finish my degree and go in as an officer

>>34835851
I never respected delta after their involvement in Waco. Killing the people they swear a oath to protect does not sit well with me. But that's a topic for another time.

>>34839805
I can offer up a bit of insight into that, if you're interested.

>>34839824

>you will never be a vympel member and operate operationally doing spooky stuff while getting issued AN94s and AEK971s
why even live?

>>34841424
Wouldn't that put the youngest members at 29 though?

>>34841471
True, most of the staff were 30+ years. But again those weren't GRU army units, those are KGB folks who had to be able how to infiltrate NATO counties, kill political leadership, explode nuclear objects, blow up infrastructure etc.

>>34841424
There's a bit of lost in translation there.

Vympel operatives were not required to be military officers, but had to sit a KGB exam. This made them "officers" in that sense of the word. Everything else is correct, however. The language requirements were fluency in one and proficiency in the other.

whats wrong with chris kyle? (asking, because i barely know who he is and havent seen the movie)

>>34836047
If you believe them, they are right.

Unit 777

>>34841767
It's where broken or retired or sometimes forcibly-retired SEALs go.

>>34839805
All they did was watch how the FBI did it and didn't even do any shooting.

Same with the SAS who were there too to keep an eye on the british waco militants too.

Seems a bit silly to hold it against them. Especially since the whole reason the feds massively ramped up the response was because 4 feds got killed and 19 got shot, before the feds had the fucking retreat at gunpoint dragging their corpses in front of national tv.

>>34842405
i, see what task do they perform?

>>34841949
He lied about a lot of things.

>>34842539
hes full of shit, cia SAD recruits top operators from tier 1 units and who knows what the fuck they do, you already basically dont exist once you get to tier 1 (navy seals are tier 2) SAD is even higher than that. Your neighbor could be in SAD and have an armory in his basement for all you know. They're completely black

>>34841767

they are glorified money couriers

>>34838169
I wear glasses and don't think I'm within LASIK correctable range

>>34839652
You forgot VB, ANV, BRO, and ACE

>>34842564
Don't know about that. I live near a military camp, 2 out 5 of my neighbors have family members that are military.

the guys that fly the stealth blackhawks.

think about this. we know it exists and have seen pictures of the wreckage. China and Russia probably have gone over the wreckage.

yet we have not seen one in real life at an air show or anywhere else since. while the F-117, B-2, F-22, f-35, and the drones all have been more or less public since the govt admitted to them existing.

>>34839162
So, if I became an officer at 25, and was in good fitness going in, would I have a chance?

>>34836060
I came across some DEA in Afghanistan. They were the same as any other contractors. They just wore tacticool gear queer shit and had expensive firearms that they know nothing about. Why they are even there who knows. Busting Afghan opiate rings I guess

>>34843302
In Soviet rubles (around 1981: 1 USD = 0.9 Soviet Rubles) although those were not really convertible. So, a year of training for an officer cost around 100K. Vympel does no longer exist though.

>>34843339
It's my second day on /k/ so I guess I should get to know this guy well

>>34844913
Makes sense. Read his wiki. Complete badass. He's done it all, even some spooky shit in Antarctica.

>>34845021
Seems super interesting. I will.

>>34842486
That would be the official narrative. After the congressional hearings. It came out that there was a deception. Lies and tampering and destroying of evidence. Flir footage shows a different event than the narrative that was fed to the general public. And finally after years of not having access to the evidence, Investigators have been able to bring a lot of it to the public's attention. And it does not paint a good picture for the agency and those involved. It's time for you to bring yourself up to speed anon. Especially the high res flir footage.

>>34843487
He should have done jail time for what he did at Ruby Ridge. Than 6 months later shooting at church people. Lovely
