Why Some NEVER Make It Out ALIVE from UKSF Selection | Official Trailer

About this video

Ritland’s guest recounts his military experience, beginning with an early deployment where mission objectives were unclear, followed by his decision to pursue special forces selection. He describes the intense six-month selection process, including its high attrition rate and dangerous training conditions in the jungle, and contrasts his second Afghanistan deployment as a tier one operator with clear mission objectives.

Key takeaways

• The guest’s initial deployment lacked clear direction, which motivated him to pursue special forces training
• According to the guest, special forces selection required obsession and had extreme attrition—only 6 out of 202 candidates were expected to complete the 6-month process
• The guest describes selection as testing weapon safety and conduct under exhaustion in dangerous live-fire jungle environments, with fatalities occurring during training
