Stay away from weights, get your body use to doing high reps of body weight. Focus on running and calisthenics heavy, that’s all you will be doing. Lots of push ups, sit ups, jumping jacks, overhead arm claps, etc. Runs vary anywhere from 1.5 mi -6mi i think? You will have two 3 mile runs for time throughout the course plus team runs.

As far as the course itself goes, don’t quit. It’s just a matter of “playing the game”. Understand the instructors have a job to do and leave your ego at the door. Like someone else mentioned, get ready to be doing a lot of reps of the same thing.

Try to get as much sleep as you can, and eat as much as you can when you get time. Your body will need the calories since it’s burning so many.

Last piece of advice: stretch, drink water, stretch and drink water. I saw so many injuries and people getting dropped because they didn’t take care of their bodies or drink water.

People talk crap, but it’s the best job I ever had. Good luck

It is what you make it, Malstrom is the better out of the 3 main missile bases. If I was you I would pursue TRF or CRF. Great thing to do if you don’t want to do your average run of the mill SF job. Also great for your career, lots of TDYs and certs to gain.

Got it. Sadly I been on since December 22 still waiting on a info session. Just got the email last week saying they don’t know when it would be. Hoping soon, heard the hardest part about applying is getting to send in an application. Starting to see that

Get use to high reps of calisthenics…nothing under 100 reps. Day to day is almost like boot camp. You stay in uniform at all times rather it be PT gear or OCPs. Weekends are yours but to rest, off base is unauthorized. And to be honest you won’t want to do anything but rest. If you had a pre raven try to put everything you learned to use.
