History Channel – The Selection: Special Operations Experiment

History Channel has introduced a new series called, “The Selection: Special Operations Experiment” which stars my friend Tyler Grey. So far, I’ve watched the first episode but they have already aired the second.

The eight episode, unscripted series follows those with no military background as they are coached by SOF Veterans who put them through event after event which are modeled on those used for SOF assessment and selection programs.

    Look to SAS Who Dares Wins also. A rare insight into the minds of modern GWOT era SAS/SBS soldiers who conduct a very similar TV show.

    I like military type shows and movies but personally I feel certain military units of the US should remain as low profile and off radar as possible. I kinda see it as, if we can watch it so can our enemies.

    I could be wrong on that outlook

      This isn’t real. It’s based on the types of events a candidate might experience. Nothing operational so far.

      • Dellis says:

        Right, this is more based on reality type program and my fault for not better clarifying that I meant all the “Behind the scene” type shows that imbed a reporter/journalist with a unit or within their training.

    If no one is forced to put vomit (aka weakness) in their pocket during a smoke session in the pit, I’ll be disappointed.

    No one ever wants to try a military chef reality show, hardest course in the military, no one has ever passed it.

    I only wish that I would have taken what opportunity earlier in life. I had a Ariforce Career, although due to elderly grandparents keeping the promise to keep them from a nursing home was more important than my needs. I was able to work many decades as a Nationally Registered Paramedic. Within a private service ran with mitary discipline. I wish I could prove it that even at my now 54 and retire and many work injuries. Wish to test myself. To prove you Can take dog out of the hunt but not the hunt out of the dog..Great show please continue many seasons.

    Absolutely LOVED this show. Retired Navy Senior Chief (24 yrs) in 2010 and this was exactly up my alley on my line of thinking how to mentor, mold, shape and challenge someone mentally/emotionally/physically. My most pivotal moment was when 12 finished and he broke down, reminded me of the CPO Induction process. When I finished I was so happy, exhausted & thankful that I broke down the exact same way. Nothing better than challenging yourself and finding more within yourself than you knew – and to be part of an accepted team of brothers and sisters that you love, trust and respect.

    PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!!
