Forget the war stories from guys who graduated 20 years ago—this is the raw, unfiltered prototype of today’s Air Force Special Warfare candidate. At just 22, this dude has maxed every test, trained like a psycho, lived in a recreated basic training bay, and even did medic work in Ukraine… all before stepping foot in selection. He trashes Indoc, calls the Air Force “too weak,” admits he manipulates weak teammates, and brags about 26 pull-ups after a PT test. Love him or hate him, you can’t ignore him. This is what obsession looks like.
