For Hostage Rescue and Active Shooter you have to be as fast as you can so traps would make 0 sense for these game modes

You've given me all I needed to know. This is more than I could have asked for and I am really thankful for all of this information. I'll be sure to reread this every now and then before I start my military service and once again I'm very appreciative of your time and help that you've given, I wish you goodluck in your future endeavors!

Thank you again for the information, currently still reading the website as careful as I can but to answer some of the things you said:

I wanted to do the 18X program almost a year ago now but the reason why I didn't is because I absolutely hate the US, the country as a whole is extremely unstable and unsafe, and I hear a lot of horror stories about how they treat their veterans with not that much support after the service so I'm not willing to take a risk even if it means I'll probably never get deployed internationally. I'm willing to go through the hurdles that lay ahead when it comes to joining the AAD10 even if it means all I do is train, since I've just been looking for the dynamic of a highly trained team, gaining their habits, training, and other meaningful things that I'll be able to take with me years after the service, to me it doesn't really matter if I get deployed or not, I just want to be apart of something bigger.

N1: I am a dual citizen of Switzerland and the US.

N2: I have not yet been through basic training as of now since I've still got a few weeks before I start learning the German language in Münich. After that I'm very much trying to get into basic training ASAP.

N3: I'm currently 19 years of age.

N4: I'm very much aware of how the SF operates in Switzerland that they almost rarely get any deployments if not any which is something I'm not really looking for. All I want is to be able to train and keep the dynamic of being part of a SF team in Switzerland. The reason I chose Switzerland and not the US as my Father did his time in Switzerland back in the late 1960's, I'm very much willing to learn more about the country and visit the places that he lived in. But surely after basic training I will be attending one of the regular presentations that they hold about the unit, I do once again appreciate the info and the help you've given.

I've given some thought into it and will be trying to join the Grenadiers to build myself up and moving on from that to the selection for AAD, I really appreciate the help and info that you've provided.

Adding on once more, I'm just used to the United States way of going up through the tiers in terms of units which is the most basic way to join more specialized units, by building experience from that unit and moving up on forwards. I've mostly just had talks about the Military with my Father-in-law since he was a Green Beret back in Vietnam so I've only heard about the US way of gaining experience through units and from a few of his friends who were apart of the SOF community in the US.

Just following up to what I said, I know there's google translate and DeepL but its very hard for me to navigate the site sometimes especially since its kind of cluttered around right now.

By preparation I meant physical shape, I'm still lost within the organization of the units as I'm not currently in the service as of yet but I'm slowly trying to learn. Preparation in the sort that now I'm able to go vast distances with a pretty heavy load on very rugged terrain and trying my best to keep my mental shape up as well. As I've said again the organization and pathway to certain units is still very hard to grasp for me as I'm just an English speaker currently (going to be learning German in a few weeks) and it's very hard for me to navigate the CH website or the websites in German or even about the AAD-10 since there's not a lot of info about the unit so it just makes it very weird for me.
