In Special Forces selection, quitting is always an option—and that’s exactly why Travis “Wookie” Wilson refused to even look at it.
In this clip, Travis tells the story of a cold, miserable night in Phase II: shoulder presses with rucksacks, guys dropping out, and a cadre in his face screaming cadence with a thick Boston accent and a fat dip in. Instead of breaking, Travis makes a different decision—he decides he’s going to keep going until the cadre gets tired of yelling.
That same “outwork him” mentality followed him from push-ups, jumps, and gunfights into the “big boy world,” where the stakes are higher than selection—lives, health, and mental health. Now, Travis leads from the front in a different arena, building teams and businesses focused on helping people heal.
This is the mindset of a Green Beret who refuses to be outworked—on the battlefield or in life.
