This episode breaks one of the biggest myths in Air Force Special Warfare selection: teamwork is not about getting along. Aaron lays out exactly what instructors are looking for in an attributes-based selection model—and why teamwork is evaluated even in an individually graded pipeline. From hydration and gear prep to buddy breathing, leadership, authenticity, and putting team gear before personal comfort, this is a no-fluff blueprint for being the teammate units actually want. If you think teamwork means giving away reps or playing the spotlight ranger, you’ve already missed the point. This is about selflessness, consistency, and mission-first behavior—from day one.
