Found this on Google video. Shows a hostage rescue scenario among other things like HALO and fast-roping.

It's very (or too) informative about the ops in Afghanistan if you understand Dutch

IMHO....
Videos are "cool"....but rucking will pay the bills. 25 meter target.

For some of us, sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours with nothing to do but surf the Internet while waiting for things to break pays the bills... literally.

If you can find it, there's a show that airs on the Discovery/Times channel that is an hour long presentation of this, in English. It's called "Hunting the Taliban" and involves the same footage shown on the link above (only more of it as the show lasts an hour). If you can catch it, it's reall interesting to compare the two programs...

Fortunately, I figured this out in my mid-20s. Off to OSUT next month! My gal thinks I'm crazy but she says I'm happier than she's ever seen me. It's sick that I'm looking forward to DIs, when compared to Lumberg and the Bobs.

Good on you. You going 18X? I've got my eye on OCS down the road.

As far as the Bob's go, yeah, I'm looking forward to DIs too. Hell, I'd even settle for Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.
