FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 20th Special Forces Group (Airborne), North Carolina Army National Guard, sponsored a SOCOM Athlete Hell Day event at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, March 12-14, 2021.
During the event current and former special operations operators, from different branches of service, provided mentoring, assessments, fitness tests and immersion training to 27 students, age 17 – 30 years old, from as far away as Colorado and Florida.
Additionally, NCARNG Special Forces recruiters, as well active members of the NCARNG Special Forces community, were available to assist with the event and inform the students about the ARNG Special Forces community.
“You do have the opportunity to be successful outside of this (Special Forces),” said Sgt. 1st Class Charlie Stetson, a North Carolina Army National Guard Special Forces Recruiter and currently serving with B 3-20th SFG (A). “I get to do a mission that really matters and I still get to have the opportunity to have a civilian job.”
Being involved in the Fort Bragg SOCOM Athlete Hell Day event allowed the recruiters to focus on a group of individuals highly interested in being a part of the special operations community.
“What we get from a program like SOCOM Athlete is a higher quality lead, not only physically, but it is worth noting that these recruits have already put in time, money and effort to train and compete for an opportunity in Special Forces,” said Stetson.
As a result, the success rate of a lead generated from SOCOM Athlete will have a much greater pass rate.
