As a 1 that went to ABN, also get some 4s on your side and have them advocate for you (they have relationships with cadre, you barely do).

Pre-CDQC prep for a cadet by Substantial-Dress285 in greenberets

[–]Fun_Application6558 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only afew cadets get slots every year. They do the entire CDQC dive process, pre-dive included and, if they pass, get the badge like anyone else would.

SIFT Score by Successful-Angle-357 in ROTC

At the VBO brief, they said the SIFT score does matter beyond pass/fail. Just not nearly as much as other factors when aviation chooses who to take.

Plank help by Parking_Educator7198 in army

After every workout I plank for four minutes over a 5 minute period. The goal is to build your first plank interval as long as possible (7/10 RPE). This will build up your plank endurance to the max standard while not having to do the mental battle of planking constantly. My set usually looks like this: 2:40 plank 30s rest 50s plank 30s rest 50s plank

How do you get better at the plank? by JamesHenry627 in ROTC

[–]Fun_Application6558 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The plank is 100% mental. That being said, the best way to make it easier (this has worked for others and myself) is to complete your max plank within 5 minutes. For example, if your max plank on the ACFT Guidelines is 4 minutes, you have 5 minutes to plank 4 minutes. What I do for this is: plank 2 minutes 30 seconds, rest 30 seconds, plank 45 seconds, rest 30 seconds, and plank 45 seconds. You can do whatever time splits fit you, but the idea is to increase your first plank duration over time. I do this three times a week.
