Kevin Key is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel who served with the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment before going through special forces selection and assessment (SFAS) and becoming a Special Forces Officer (18A) with 7th Special Forces Group. He started his military career in the Army National Guard while attending college under the simultaneous membership program (SMP). He served at Special Operations Command - South (SOCSOUTH) and has commanded a unit within the 82nd Airborne Division.  At one point in this episode, Kevin recounts Operation Willing Spirit (Colombia version is Operation Jacque) — the effort to locate and verify hostages taken after a 2003 FARC plane was shotdown in Colombia, and how U.S. and Colombian forces used covert tactics (including a fake humanitarian operation) to free captives years later. The episode also traces Key's path post‑military shift into real estate, restaurant/event property ownership (Cosmic Tiki), cattle ranching and writing about carnivore nutrition in his book. __________ Please leave us a review on Apple/Spotify Podcasts: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mentors-for-military-podcast/id1072421783 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3w4RiZBxBS8EDy6cuOlbUl #mentors4mil  #mentorsformilitary Mentors4mil Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Mentors4mil Patreon Support: https://www.patreon.com/join/Mentors4mil  Intro music "Long Way Down" by Silence & Light is used with permission.

How does financial transparency affect how CEO's themselves are paid?Young Jun Cho and Hojun Seo investigate how the introduction of SFAS 131, requiring companies to report performance by business segments, impacts equity-based compensation. Their research reveals that more granular disclosure reduces the need for stock-based incentives, especially in firms with weak internal oversight, but strong external scrutiny. The findings show how reporting rules can act as powerful tools of corporate governance, reshaping executive behaviour and investor influence.Read the original research: doi.org/10.1111/1911-3846.12928

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:

Today I welcomed Jon Hamilton from Infitinite Grit onto the show for a long discussion on a wide range of topics. 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. We then transitioned to present day and discussed his current online coaching business, Infinite Grit. Topics included:-intro and background-military career, lessons learned, decision to go SF, his SFAS prep approach from both the physical and personal development perspectives-a breakdown of what Jon's currently doing w/ Infinite Grit-the most common struggles of guys prepping for selection (physical, mental, lifestyle)-underrated/high leverage non-training habits for guys preparing for SFAS-Jon's current fitness goals, training and highest ROI habits for success For the 2nd hour of the show, we both provided our in depth perspectives on answers to TTM listener questions. 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.

Kevin Smith, Founder of Terminator Training Method (TTM), specializes in virtual fitness coaching tailored for those prepping for Special Operations Forces (SOF) selection courses, especially SFAS. Born and raised in Maine, Kevin's dedication to hard work started as a young multi-sport athlete, inspired by his father and later refined through over a decade in the Army Special Forces as a Green Beret medic. He served on a military freefall team for 3.5 years at 10th SFG (A) and closed out his career on a dive/maritime team at 3rd SFG (A). During his time in, he completed multiple deployments and earned qualifications, including Ranger School, Advanced Land Navigation (SMU Selection), Dive Medical Technician, Static Line Jumpmaster, and the Special Forces Intelligence Sergeant Course. After 12 years of training for and serving as a Green Beret, he transitioned to a career in fitness coaching, specializing in 1:1 coaching, team coaching, and content creation.Kevin's approach to coaching is rooted in simplicity, efficiency, and personalization, emphasizing smart exercise selection, intentional progression, and flexibility. He believes in training that builds resilience without unnecessary complexity, prioritizing fundamentals over fads and ensuring each athlete's program uniquely suits their goals. His mission with TTM is to provide clear, science-backed guidance that empowers tactical athletes to exceed fitness standards and develop the mental toughness needed for SOF selection while avoiding the burnout and frustration he once faced. Through TTM's virtual coaching, podcast, and content, Kevin aims to reshape the tactical fitness space with no-nonsense, results-oriented coaching.More about Kevin:Website: Terminatortraining.comPodcast: The Terminator Training ShowYoutube: Terminator Training MethodIG: Terminator-trainingArticles referenced in the show: Mental Fortitude Prompts (Most Popular); Dealing With Pre-Selection Doubt; Crushing Team Week (Character Development); All Articles: TTM website; SubstackTimestamps:00:00:21 Introduction to Kevin Smith00:02:07 ‘How did you get into physical training…?'00:07:16 College and Joining The Army 00:13:27 Special Operations Preparation and Conditioning Course & Selection00:17:12 Helping Clients with Imposter Syndrome and Segmenting00:21:06 Sponsor Note: Building The Elite00:21:30 Segmenting (Continued)00:23:51 Self-Induced Stress00:26:57 Managing Self-Induced Stress00:36:16 18D School00:41:35 Advice for 18D00:45:37 After the Q Course00:49:15 Delta Force00:51:36 Camp Delhi00:54:01 Getting Out of The Army00:56:45 Ranger School01:01:11 Advice for Ranger School01:05:46 Learning with No Ego01:08:26 Coaching and Clearing Up Misinformation01:14:07 Nutrition01:19:33 Mindset and Character Trait Development01:27:46 Final Questions01:31:08 Outro
