So, below: five ways you’d train if you were trying to become Special Forces. You might want to pack a parachute.     SKY FALL Jumping Out of Jets Like It’s 1942   Your Mission: Complete a 10-day paratrooper program that’s been modeled after the one used during World War II. The final exam: jumping out of a vintage C-47. Yes, it’s pass-fail. Degree of Difficulty: Low. As long as you don’t look down.   411: World War II Airborne Demonstration Team Jump School, take a flying leap here     DRILL BIT The Worst Way to Spend a Weekend   Your Mission: Survive 48 hours’ worth of modified US Special Forces training. Expect to carry logs, crawl through sand and be verbally assaulted by a commanding officer who’s actively trying to make you quit (seriously). Degree of Difficulty: The average passing rate is under 10%, so...   411: GoRuck Selection, regret this decision here     FLIGHT CLUB Learning How to Fight. With Planes.   Your Mission: Spend a day pulling G’s, simulating dogfights and wearing oversize aviators while piloting two-seat German monoplanes. Degree of Difficulty: Depends how many times you’ve seen Top Gun.   411: Fighter Combat International, keep your tray table up here     DESCENDING ORDER Spitting in the Face of Gravity   Your Mission: Follow a former SWAT member (with over 20 years’ experience) off a roof, down the side of a multistory building and into a window. Helpful in a hostage situation. Or when you lose your house keys. Degree of Difficulty: Moderate. Rope burn is a serious matter.   411: The Vertical Option, harness up here     SNIPER ACTIVE These Are the Sharpshooting Basics   Your Mission: Spend a workweek out in the wilderness while some guys with really good aim teach you how to “achieve first-round hits from a cold barrel onto high-value targets.” Pretty sure they’re talking about empty beer cans. Degree of Difficulty: The parts where you’re lying down: easy. Everything else: not so much.   411: Storm Mountain Sniper I Course, start a long-distance relationship here UrbanDaddy is pure editorial. You can't buy love from the Daddy.
