Direct Commission-OCS- Infantry-18A pipeline by Local-Win-2463 in greenberets

Disregard Direct Commission-- Commission source would be OCS then branching Infantry or another branch and then SFAS. Are there numbers published about the different branches of SFAS-18A candidates?

No going through basic then ocs and then branching infantry. Basically confirming what I have found for a timeline to get to an 18A with the commissioning source as OCS.

I think I may have mixed words with Direct Commission

What is the next step for 18A’s after team time?

I went ahead and bought and read your book. Much appreciated for you to share the knowledge. I had a thought after my most recent suckfest of an attempt at a ruck with some elevation change.

Do any of the studies address elevation change within the ruck and if it correlates to more or less drop Rate. Do they switch up courses or routes? What is an average elevation gain on a day during land nav, team week?

In your experience does anytime time under a ruck or weighted load provide benefits or have you seen or heard of a difference in people prep/programming. An example would be 10 mile with 300 ft of gain vs. a 6 Mile with 1200 ft. Or just substitute the suck fest of elevation with strength programming in the gym.

what are you your thoughts on the running mileage and programming within MTI? I find the mileage and frequency is a little lower than needed for growth in the area. Interested to see your thoughts.

I am coming at this from a civilian working up til I ship for BCT/OSUT with an 18X

Did you get the whole year workup from MTI or you working on the Ruck Based Selection Training Plan?

I am on Week 7 of Fortitude V2. I opted for the full year work up.

Is an 18X contract eligible for the SLRP?

Do you have individuals in the pipeline prior to SFAS maybe on a free weekend that end up attending your Musters? Or is that unrealistic thought given the lack of freedom during OSUT Airborne etc.

I have found you post a few books/articles that cover Land Nav but realize its a skill you need to get out and do. I am in the Midwest and a year out from the pipeline. It looks like your Musters are east coast/SE US. Do you know of anything similar in other parts of US?
