1
Did you make it straight through?
Você conseguiu passar direto?
2
Did you have any hiccups?
Você teve algum contratempo?
3
Somehow, I don't know, dude.
De alguma forma, eu não sei, cara.
4
I thought I bombed Selection like so bad because I had a couple of bad days of land nav.
Eu achei que tinha ido muito mal na Seleção porque tive alguns dias ruins de navegação terrestre.
5
The second event we did, I was carrying those damn jerry cans.
No segundo evento que fizemos, eu estava carregando aqueles malditos galões de combustível.
6
I'm sure you guys have, you know, nobody tells you it's hard to carry those freaking jerry cans for, you know, three miles.
Tenho certeza que vocês já passaram por isso, sabe, ninguém te avisa que é difícil carregar aqueles malditos galões de combustível por, sabe, três milhas.
7
And I just thought that I did horrible, but it was kind of cool.
E eu só achei que tinha me saído horrivelmente, mas foi meio legal.
8
Years later, I got to go work at selection as a contractor
Anos depois, eu consegui trabalhar na seleção como contratado.
9
and my buddy opened up my file for me
e meu amigo abriu o meu arquivo para mim
10
And he let me take a look at like my file and it was actually really interesting to see
E ele me deixou dar uma olhada no meu arquivo, e foi realmente muito interessante de ver.
11
The reason why I got selected but yeah, I got selected on the first you remember or can you share the reason why it said you did?
O motivo pelo qual eu fui selecionado, mas sim, eu fui selecionado na primeira vez, você se lembra ou pode compartilhar o motivo pelo qual diz que você foi?
12
well with with respect to the program and those guys what I will say is that I
Bem, com relação ao programa e a esses caras, o que eu vou dizer é que eu
13
Displayed the attributes they were looking for yeah
Exibiu os atributos que eles estavam procurando, sim.
14
and even though you do need to have physical strength there is a an endurance
e mesmo que você precise ter força física, há também a questão da resistência.
15
and a physical strength requirement just like all the other components
e um requisito de força física, assim como todos os outros componentes
16
they're looking for the right person not necessarily the best person in all those categories and
eles estão procurando a pessoa certa, não necessariamente a melhor pessoa em todas essas categorias e
17
so I surprisingly displayed the attributes of somebody who whom they
então, surpreendentemente, eu exibi os atributos de alguém a quem eles
18
were looking for yeah I was yeah it's I'll just kind of yeah Expectation versus reality,
estavam procurando, sim, eu estava, sim, é que eu só vou tipo, sim, Expectativa versus realidade,
19
was selection everything you kind of assumed or thought it would be, or were there some big surprises?
a seleção foi tudo o que você imaginava ou esperava que seria, ou houve algumas surpresas grandes?
20
I was surprised at how much land nav sucked.
21
Yeah.
22
I thought land nav was going to be fun.
23
When I was training to refresh myself, because I never really knew much land navigation, but I had a good buddy who was in the Army Infantry, and I had some Camp Pendleton maps,
24
so we would go out there and I'm thinking it's going to be like a great time.
25
Dude, Land Nav really sucked a lot.
26
Broke me the hell down, but you just keep going.
27
And yeah, for me it was hard.
28
For me it was physically hard for sure.
29
Yeah.
30
Was it all at Camp Pendleton?
31
No, Selection, I was living in California.
32
So as I prepped, I was going back and forth to the base.
33
I got myself put into a reserve unit.
34
It was just easier to get sponsorship that way to go to selection
35
and selection is over on the East Coast okay
36
so yeah though they'll fly out to the East Coast yeah
37
how long is it in total it's like six weeks ish
38
and then it's broken into a couple of different phases
39
but the whole thing is a is a selection and assessment
40
so there's like a preparatory few weeks which is preparatory
41
but it's still selection and then there's the part where they cut half the people out, and then they only go with a select few to a particular area to do the final selection.
42
Do you remember how many guys actually made it versus how many started in your group?
43
Roughly, I want to say we had like 160 initially that showed up to selection at Camp Ujun,
44
and I think they only take about a,
45
I'll say between 100 to 130 ish up to the other location
46
and then in terms of yeah I don't even remember man I think maybe like 60 people yeah
47
but I could be wrong on that but I do remember
48
that it was one and a half buses like
49
that we had taken up there
50
so it wasn't a lot of people at all for sure less than half than started I think
51
so yeah about about half 60 50 percent yeah where did you go first after
52
that so after selection you go to ITC East Coast
53
and I think Marsoc has actually consolidated all their resources now over to the East Coast
54
so they don't even have a Camp Pendleton battalion anymore it's all over at Lejeune
55
wish I would have bought housing before that happened tell you
56
that much right now but ITC
57
so the individual training course at the time it was nine months long
58
that was that was an interesting experience for me everybody hated my fucking guts really oh man why
59
because I was too laws
60
if you're like I I'm showing up coming I dropped out
61
paramedic school I've been out of the Marine Corps for like a year year
62
and a half reserved and it doesn't really count I just drove across country I'm all rugged
63
and just basically hey bro like where's the check -in
64
and do the Marine Corps for whatever reason they the first
65
thing they always say is why are you acting like a seal
66
which I thought was kind of funny like I didn't even know I was doing
67
that but that's something I got for years and years after
68
but yeah man they just eat
69
that type of behavior up alive like they don't like it
70
and so it did it took me an adjustment period it was actually so bad
71
that there was this you got four teams in ITC about 20 students each about 80 people start ITC
72
and team two was known for being like the savage team.
73
Like in the first like couple months they were just you fucking suck get out of here
74
And you're talking big dudes to like recon force recon dudes
75
infantry dudes It was a meat -eater of a team snipers
76
and I got moved about a few months in from team four to team two Which at
77
that point it was like mean like these three other guys where it was like you're on the chopping block
78
because you're not doing good on the peer reviews and
79
and dude they just started like trying to come at me
80
and stuff and that's
81
when I kind of I was like what is the deal
82
with this whole thing finally somebody broke it to me they're like nobody feels like you take this seriously
83
and it's not that I didn't take it seriously but it's just
84
that they weren't used to somebody with my demographic coming into
85
that type of an environment and so for whatever reason that's how they took it
86
but I am very proud to say that I survived team too Yeah.
87
It became became a member eventually.
88
How long were you there for?
89
Nine months is what the course was.
90
I think they've added language to that now or something.
91
They didn't have.
92
I was only the 10th class.
93
OK, so it was the team four and team two thing is during ITC.
94
Correct.
95
OK.
96
Yeah.
97
So you prove yourself enough to stick with team to make it all the way through.
98
Mm hmm.
99
Where where did you first go after ITC?
100
Second Battalion.
101
Yeah.
102
Where's that at?
103
Camp June.
104
What was it like when you first checked in, and how long were you there before you deployed the first time as a Raider?
105
I got lucky, man.
106
I, again, for whatever reason, was chosen out of the handful of people that did go to 2nd Battalion.
107
We knew that was the most kinetic.
108
We knew that was the battalion that was doing the most work.
109
And so I chose that one because we had regionalized while I was in ITC, So I was kind of pissed I didn't get to go back to Cali, but I was coming in to do work, man.
110
Like I didn't want to do anything else.
111
And so I got picked up by a team who was getting ready to deploy.
112
And I would say probably eight months after I graduated, maybe a little bit less, we were out the door heading back to Afghanistan.
113
Yeah.
114
Was that first deployment going to Afghanistan now as a MARSOC guy,
115
can you kind of speak to the differences between your prior experiences? there
116
and now now you're there doing kind of the varsity squad
117
type of stuff yeah it was definitely different in the aspect
118
that well in a lot of ways it was similar to
119
begin with like we got dropped off by the plane we're on the tarmac
120
and nobody was there to pick us up that's that's pretty similar um
121
but it was different because you know once you hop on
122
that bird you fly out to your fob
123
and we were out in the middle of hellman middle of nowhere
124
and it's like okay It's starting to kind of sink in a little bit, kind of taking in the sights, the smells, the sounds.
125
And then you crack open those weapons containers, and you start kind of getting the orientation from the team that's there.
126
Start loading up the live grenades, start loading up the 40 mic mic into your belt, and it was fucking cool.
127
I just felt like, finally, I'm in a place where we're going to go get to do some work, and I know it's going to be hard
128
but at the same time that's what we're here for yeah
129
like that's what what you signed up for yeah yeah was
130
that deployment pretty kinetic and busy no dude it started off like awesome
131
so the the turnover the left seat right seat
132
which I was not a part of I was too busy
133
sub doing some crazy drunk chick at a house party for
134
our to go that's a story for another time yeah like 50 year old Woman anyways dude.
135
Yeah, we had it on camera when the cops showed up.
136
I'm just gonna say that much she was out of line
137
So that was one of the most kinetic turnovers
138
that any of those Experienced dudes had ever had
139
because all of my leadership and I don't think a lot of people appreciate or understand
140
What I'm about to say here
141
when it comes to a lot of the guys like you know you you were in from what years from
142
96 08 dude mad respect because
143
people just don't understand the level of violence and the level of risk
144
that you guys have endured and
145
that was all my leadership all the dudes as i'm coming up through the pipeline all the
146
you would see like a uh alphas day
147
or charlie's uniform day i'll never forget i looked around everybody
148
had purple hearts yeah everybody had purple hearts almost everybody had
149
bronze v's silver stars navy cross like i'm getting chills just thinking about it
150
because to be a part of
151
that community was it was a true honor yeah i mean from from let's say 01 to 07 08 like
152
that block of time was just fucking i mean it was crazy rocking and rolling yeah yeah and so um So yeah, we get there.
153
We set out.
154
And so for them to say it was like the most kinetic and a guy, Aaron Torian, had just died.
155
Seventh deployment, just hardcore dude, a legend in the community. And
156
so they were like, just be ready you know we we did our first mission
157
out into the uh what they call the dash the desert out there
158
and like one kilometer two kilometers down the road like we're in a tick
159
so i was kind of like cool it was awesome didn't get much in on
160
that i was a driver that night so i'm just basically maneuvering vehicles
161
and we kind of kept our distance uh did another operation
162
which was like started to ramp up a little bit i
163
was like fuck yeah dude like now we're starting to get like little little ticks little fights
164
and things like that nothing too crazy intense
165
and then all of a sudden Ramadan hits
166
and we get the command to be like they're like hey you're gonna retrograde
167
and we were just like are you kidding me dude like
168
I just went through all this training came back in the
169
Marine Corps got my ass back here by chance to Afghanistan we're just starting to get into it
170
and now we're getting told the retrograde we're like taking batteries on the pallets and stuff and it was pretty frustrating.
171
But you got to do a couple more cool operations.
172
It was a unique environment, but ultimately it wasn't the most kinetic, no. Yeah.

Daily ConversationWorking Adults
O cenário: uma conversa sobre superação no MARSOC
Nesse vídeo, dois ex-militares conversam sobre a experiência de seleção para o MARSOC, uma unidade de elite dos Estados Unidos. A história mistura desafios físicos, incertezas e a surpresa de descobrir os atributos que levaram à aprovação. É um exemplo perfeito de conversa informal em inglês, repleta de expressões coloquiais e situações reais que ajudam no aprendizado.
Trechos úteis e colocações para memorizar
- "I thought I bombed Selection": Expressão coloquial que significa "pensei que tinha fracassado na seleção". "Bombed" é usado para dizer que algo saiu muito mal.
- "carry those damn jerry cans": "Carregar essas malditas jarras de combustível". "Jerry cans" são recipientes para combustível, e "damn" é uma palavra informal para enfatizar frustração.
- "broke me the hell down": "Me esgotou completamente". Uma forma intensa de dizer que algo foi muito difícil e causou exaustão.
- "cut half the people out": "Eliminou metade das pessoas". Fala coloquial para "rejeitar" ou "desclassificar" em um processo seletivo.
Essas expressões são essenciais para entender conversas reais e melhorar sua prática de conversação em inglês.
Seu desafio de shadowing: imite a fluidez
O shadowspeak (técnica de imitação) é uma das melhores formas de melhorar a pronúncia e a fluência. Para esse vídeo, siga esses passos:
1. Escute um trecho de 30 segundos (ex: a parte sobre "land nav").
2. Pause e repita imitando a intonação, o ritmo e as pausas.
3. Faça isso 5 vezes, tentando igualar a velocidade natural.
Essa prática ajuda a internalizar a linguagem coloquial e a falar como um nativo.
Lembre: aprender inglês com vídeos é eficaz porque você escuta a língua no contexto real, e o shadow speech transforma esse input em habilidade de fala.
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | has actually consolidated · I've been · they've added |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | was known · was chosen |
| Orações relativas who / which + oração — informação extra sobre uma pessoa ou coisa | somebody who whom · weeks which is |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
