The Marine Corps is the only US military branch that retains pull-ups in its PFT because they directly measure combat-relevant pulling power better than many alternatives.

Most US special operations units require pull-ups even if the parent branch does not.
Navy SEALs, Army Rangers (75th Ranger Regiment) and Green Berets (Special Forces), Air Force Pararescue (PJs).

Othe NATO military units that require pull-ups:
- Canada (JTF2 – Joint Task Force 2 and CSOR Canadian Special Operations Regiment)
- Germany (KSK – Kommando Spezialkräfte)

CULTIVATING URGENCY

SOF (Special Operation Forces) candidates in training / tryouts have many names: PIG’s, Ropers, Tadies, Legs, RASPies, etc.

No matter the screening, selection, or training, the one thing in common is that the candidates are not allowed to walk. They must run everywhere they go.

The reasoning behind this rigorous policy includes:

- Psychological Conditioning
- Cultivating Urgency
- Physical Adaptability
- Discipline and Accountability

AT OSS COMPETITIONS

To cultivate urgency at Operator Syndicate Series, we have very strict and unforgiving time hacks on the entire program which enforces many of the same benefits of the “run-everywhere” SOF candidate standard.

- We don’t need to yell and scream at you to induce stress, the clock does that for us.
- The clock offers very little breathing room or time to mentally decompress.
- The clock forces you to hustle.
- The clock forces you to compartmentalize to focus on the tasks and not the pain.
- The clock challenges you to stay mentally focused when normally you would fade out.
- The clock forces you to multitask.
- The clock is the common enemy of all OSS competitors. Common enemies and shared misery is a bonding agent for team cohesion.

Next OSS in-person competitions is June 20 at Marksmanship Training Center in Lake City, Michigan

The Syndicate has been established.

You can join, but it's going to cost you some sweat, sore muscles, and mental focus.

Winning a gold medal is great, but overcoming hardships, breaking through mental barriers, and reaching what seemed like unobtainable achievements - that is the real prize.

Next Operator Syndicate Series competition is June 20th at Marksmanship Training Center in Lake City, Michigan.
