Mauri DiMeo is an Infantry officer in the US Army currently serving as an Assistant Professor of Military Science (APMS) at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). He attended Ranger, Airborne, SFAS, the SFQC, and the Austrian High Alpine School. Mauri was a platoon leader in the 4th Infantry Division and Rifle Company Commander in the 10th Mountain Division. His career took a turn in the final Robin Sage stage of the SF Q course, which we discuss early in our conversation. The lessons he learned there are important for any officer going through the SF qualification process. Outside of the military, Mauri founded Tactical Alpinism in 2022 with the mission to expand the capability of individuals to go bigger in the mountains by teaching mountain navigation and planning best practices. Enabling people to go bigger in the mountains expands the military's capability in this environment by focusing on the expertise of the individual within mountain and arctic units. He professionally guides in the mountains in the ski, rock, and alpine disciplines.His mountain experience includes two decades of climbing across much of the world and multiple ski-based ascents and descents, including Mount Shasta, Mount Rainier, and Denali, all by multiple routes. His civilian mountain certifications include AIARE Avalanche Professional Level 2, AIARE Avalanche Instructor, AMGA Assistant Ski Guide, and AMGA Assistant Rock Guide.More about Mauri:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tacticalalpinism/Timestamps:00:00:23 Introduction to Mauri DiMeo00:01:49 Mauri DiMeo's Career 00:03:20 Final Year at West Point00:04:26 Preparing for the Course00:05:32 Junior West Point Cadet00:08:45 Doing Too Much00:10:54 10th Mountain Warfare Training00:15:56 Ready in a Month00:18:13 Conventional Units in Cold Environments00:21:48 The Gap Between What Soldiers Are Taught and Tying Knots 00:26:09 Practicing Skills Where They Matter00:28:20 Tactical Avalanche Education00:32:13 Avalanche Bell Curve Management00:36:20 Speed is Safety00:42:00 Time Recommended to Build Aerobic Capacity00:46:50 Balancing Volume Training00:51:03 Zone 2 Running vs Rucking00:55:34 Getting the Body to Do What It's Meant to Do00:58:48 Effective Mental Frameworks in the Mountains01:02:27 Filling Gaps in Military Training01:05:34 Tactical Core Skills for Operating in the Snowy Mountains01:10:25 What Does Mauri DiMeo Do with Tactical Alpinism?01:12:20 Best and Worst Advice Ever Received01:14:44 Outro

Dr. David Walton, commonly known as TF Voodoo, is a retired Green Beret officer who served an ODA Team Leader with 7th Special Forces Group.Since retiring, he's become widely known as the world's leading expert on Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS), where he's played an integral role in optimizing every aspect of it to ensure the Army Special Forces select only the most qualified candidates. Dr. Walton has spent countless hours studying and observing SFAS classes, so much so that he's considered an SFAS encyclopedia. Despite the open-source information available in today's digital world, SFAS continues to see less than favorable selection rates. In the episode, Dr. Walton reveals some of the reasons for this dilemma.Dr. Walton is also an author of 3 books, Ruck Up or Shut Up, Shut Up and Ruck, and his newest soon-to-be-released land nav book, Never Get Lost.He also hosts a monthly comprehensive day and night land navigation muster at Hoffman Land Nav site, where the SFAS star course is held. On his website, he posts the details at the beginning of each month. I've personally attended this course twice, and can vouch for it being highly valuable for aspiring candidates, especially knowing that land nav is cause for more SFAS failures than any other portion of selection.Follow Dr. Walton on instagram: tf_voo_doo Website: https://tfvoodoo.com/In this episode, we discuss the following:His upbringing and path to Special ForcesRanger School trials and tribulations (including getting bitten by a snake, and still graduating as the Honor Grad)Selection statistics and why the attrition rate has been so high as of lateIntroduction and rise to niche-fame on the Green Berets SubredditIn part 2, we answered 5 listener questions, including:1. What separates guys that get selected vs. guys that actually end up finishing the Q course? what separates guys that finish the Q course from guys that thrive on an ODA?2. What are some techniques/procedures to reduce cognitive load during Land Navigation week at SFAS? Bonus - Is there a method to handrail roads/bowling alleys at night that totally avoids being roadkill (or closer than 50m)?3. What additional traits and attributes does someone need to be a successful SF officer compared to an enlisted SF soldier?4. What are 5 habits that can be done everyday to build character and grit for SFAS?5. Given that SOPC is now only a few weeks, how should an 18Xray physically show up to OSUT if crushing SFAS is their number 1 priority? What times/numbers do you want to see prior to shipping to account for the detraining that will happen?Whether you're an aspiring Special Forces candidate or just looking to improve your character and fitness for life, you can't miss this episode!New Program:

In the the first hour of the show we dive into Jon's background in the military, to include his early wake up call in EOD school and his subsequent career in the 160th and The Army Special Forces.

These included:- Optimizing training & lifestyle for an LEO 4 days on/4 days off schedule- Concerns about losing running speed after dropping the intensity and undergo a robust base building phase- Mindset, strategies and tactics on maintaining fitness throughout the 18X-ray pipeline (OSUT to Day 1 SFAS)- Pros and cons of strongman style training instead of traditional strength training as a primary focus for SFAS prep- The differences in fitness requirements for SFAS vs. The Q course vs. ODA life and how to approach each one- What we think are the most critical, non-negotiable physical and character traits for success in SFASWhether or not you're prepping for selection, this episode is full of wisdom for any big goal.

As such, there were slightly fewer questions than usual but more context was given. Questions included:-When running repeats or tempo runs, my legs give out before my heart rate reaches zone four or five, how can you train this?-Have you heard or seen guys in the Q course go from guard to active duty because they want to do the job full-time?-What has been the heaviest you've weighed and what were your cardio times like?- when you were active did you ever consider competing in the best ranger competition?-Can the onX hunt app and/or orienteering be sufficient in preparing for SFAS? What do land Nav courses like TF Voodoo's provide that cannot be achieved by the previously mentioned strategies?-Is it wise to continue adding zone two volume if I'm still walking for a chunk of it currently at 180 minutes? I'm a former football safety trying to build an aerobic base.-I've noticed that performing intense workouts later in the day around 4:00 PM negatively affects my sleep. I would like to know the science behind why. Also, if you are forced to exercise later in the day, any tips to help mitigate poor sleep?-What are your must have daily supplements and what brands?-When should I be stretching and foam rolling before or after the workout? And for how long is this something I need to do even if I skip the gym?-What should I eat before a workout at 7:00 AM to ensure I'm well fueled?-Is there a correlation between heart rate and stress levels?-For Jacked Gazelle.

In today's episode, I discussed 12 common SFAS prep myths and why they tend to hold candidates back.The myths include:-Everyone should train the same-Everyone's prep should be (x) long-You should ruck w/ 65-70+# in training-You can prep for selection w/ minimal rucking-You can do mostly cross training (non running/rucking)-You can just do CrossFit-You need to do certain gym exercises-You need to have specific gym strength #s-You shouldn't fuel some of your training sessions-You should mimic selection conditions (sleep deprivation, team week mimicking events, etc)-You need to do all your runs and rucks in uniform-You need to use a sledge hammer/rubber ducky to mimic a weaponThe internet is riddled with self-proclaimed exerts spewing unsupported info about selection prep. There are many issues with this, most notably the tendency to cause paralysis by analysis, which has the potential to moderately to significantly detract from your preparation.SFAS prep is simple. It requires consistent, hard training, but there's nothing complicated about it.

Statistics don't lie: 2/3 or more of the candidates that show up to SFAS leave camp Mackall without a "selected" certificate. Although physical fitness is not the only requirement for getting selected, it's the foundation. To show up physically prepared, you need to do the right things in training. Recently, I've seen some "program advice" posts on reddit that include programs that look more like soup sandwiches than an actual selection prep program. Because of this, I felt compelled to make a full episode discussing how to make sure your program is leading you to the primised land (showing up prepared) rather than leading you to non-select status.This episode includes 8 specific questions you can ask yourself about certain aspects of your program, which can be used as a litmus test to ensure you're on the right track.The question categories include: Specificity (am I training for the right things?), Dogma (am I doing the right exercises for me?), Lifting volume (am I doing too much in the gym?), Conditioning volume/intensity (am I doing the right amount of conditioning and conducting it at an appropriate intensity), Redundancy (am I doing essentially the same exercises too often?), Structure (does my weekly training structure account for recovery and managing stressors?), Training vs/ testing (am I training, or am I testing my progress too often?), extra fluff (does my program contain extra training that will fatigue me more so than actually help me improve?)In each gategory, I get into specific areas of your program to look at, and offer potential solutions to make sure you're doing the appropriate things. Programs are ALL ON SALE - till Tuesday the 28th at 11:59 PMPDF programs (40% off, automatic discount)Kickstart- beginner/garage gym friendlyTime Crunch- Workouts for those short on timeHypertrophy- intermediate/advancedJacked Gazelle- Hybrid athleteSFAS Prep- Special forces train-upTrainHeroic- App based bodybuilding programTraining Team on TrainHeroic (a free week trial and 25% off first 3 months w/ code TTMTEAM): T-850 Rebuilt TrainHeroic 10 week hypertrophy program (40% off w/ code TTM40): Bro Split +Articles: terminatortraining.comSubstackFollow me:Newsletter Sign UpIG: terminator_trainingTwitter: @ksterminatortmyoutube: Terminator Training MethodFacebook: Terminator TrainingWhichever platform you're tuning in on, feel free to leave a review!
