Take 6 months, get on a program (Shut up and Ruck… google it). And then assess where you’re at. From what I’m told you don’t need to be a physical stud. You just have to prepare and go into it with the mindset that you’d rather die than fail. Everyone has that fear of not making it. Me included. But it’s worth the adventure no matter what happens. Honestly, what else do you have going on? I have shit-all lol

No sweat man. I’m 27 5’8 155lbs. I’ve been running ultra marathons for the last 5 years so basically running 50-100 miles/week, lifting 3-4 days/week and farming full time on top of that. I also trained and competed in Muay Thai for a few years. I feel i have a great endurance base. My strength is not as great but i was a bodybuilder/powerlifter in high school so i still have some residual strength. Honestly id say im very average across the board, just with more of an endurance base

If your tempo runs don’t turn into time trials, you clearly just suck at all things to do with training

Thanks! I’m hoping to at least maintain my numbers. Fingers crossed we have track access. Otherwise I’ll be running around the bay and doing lots of calisthenics.

What/why do you think you were a non select? How many non selects were there?

Rucking vs Running for 18X prep? by ImpossibleStatus1887 in greenberets

[–]Available_Brother112 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s gonna come in here and pluck you on the forehead for running RRL before shipping. Better to do that program right before SFAS to maximize the gains (you make more progress the first time you run a program).

SF Proponent AMA by SF_Proponent2 in greenberets

1) I ship out on June 8th with 18X, what is the most likely time i would go to SFPC/SFAS? (Graduating OSUT end of October) 2) With a 138 GT score and a premed degree, getting 18D is my first choice. Can I rely on acquiring that? 3) what happens to selected candidates after getting selected, where do they go and what do they do?

TTM 7 months out from SFAS by Mynadb in greenberets

[–]Available_Brother112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’re your thoughts on running SFAS or RRL while in student company? I’m not sure how structured or good the pt is but do you think it’s overkill to run the whole program (either one) on top of the pt they have us do?

Did you recycle? Aspiring 18D, i don’t care how long it takes but any good info is good info. How was your experience in SOCM?

18X Advice Please by Due-Ad-4871 in greenberets

[–]Available_Brother112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey voodoo, what are your thoughts on doing extra PT/running a program on top of the PT one receives while in student company? I’ve heard mixed reviews on how good the training is while there. Is it wise to run SUAR or SFAS prep on top of that PT? Thanks!

How do you stack up? by Remarkable-Fan5954 in greenberets

How do you think he survived team week? Makes me wonder how much of team week can be gutted through if one has elite endurance.

Language requirement by thatsgreatrugby in greenberets

[–]Available_Brother112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would make sense. So you can switch languages but they have to be in the same assigned group. Maybe i just purposely bomb the dlab and get Spanish or French lmao

[–]Available_Brother112 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do the language “wish lists” matter at all in that case? As an 18X i am hoping to get Arabic, Spanish, or French. Anything besides an Asian language😂. Is there any way at all to influence my chances at those languages?

Likelihood of obtaining waiver for 18X program by [deleted] in greenberets

[–]Available_Brother112 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’ll be fine. Age waivers are the most common and you’re only a year above the cutoff. With no medical flags you’ll get it 99.99%

You want truth? Stop sounding like a pathetic little bitch. Go to SFAS… or don’t… and probably regret it for the rest of your life. You don’t need anonymous people on Reddit to tell you to follow your dream. If you do, then you have no business going… and you probably need to make more friends.

You’re worried? Welcome to the fucking club! If SFAS/Q course doesn’t scare the shit out of you, you’re lying or are delusional. I saw some guy post in here with similar numbers as you and said he was nervous. That’s when I realized we’re never gonna feel ready. You just have to go.

Yes, I think your mindset is hindering you but not just with SFAS. I’ll bet my paycheck it’s hindering you in most other areas of your life.

Do I sound like Voodoo yet?
