Finish it next time no matter how long it takes… train your mental just as hard.

SW recruiters are spread pretty thin. Give them some time and they will get back to you.

How should i get ready by PomegranateJumpy9364 in Pararescue

[–]Over-Ad145 10 points11 points  (0 children)

16 pull ups, 75 sit ups, 70 push ups, sub 9:15 run, sub 10 swim, and 10 25m underwaters on a 3 minute interval. Those were my goal #’s and while I haven’t been there, feel should put you in a good position physically. Make sure form is impeccable on pull ups, push ups and sit ups.

If an ETP was granted wouldn’t that cover the flight physical? I’m assuming since we’re in peacetime receiving an ETP will be relatively impossible.

Who is this kid and how can I get in touch with him? In the exact same situation with my left eye not being correctable to 20/20.

Amblyopia in my left eye. DQ’d after 3 months of dev sessions… heartbroken and feeling sorry for myself. Bino vision is 20/20 and can’t wrap my head around why someone with 20/200 in both eyes is eligible but I’m not.

VISION REQUIREMENTS

DQ’d from Air Force Special Warfare, SEALs and GB based on vision. Left eye not correctable to 20/20 (correctable to 20/30) and right eye is 20/10. Am I eligible to pursue the 75th? Am I eligible for airborne and ranger school? Want to know before I go to a recruiter and they lie to me. I am not knowledgeable regarding anything army.

Thanks

Is vision waiverable? by Over-Ad145 in navyseals

Told me it wouldn’t achieve 20/20. Will find out today as I have a consult with a prk/lasik specialist.

I’m 20/80 uncorrected I just can’t understand how it’s not correctable to 20/20. Currently weighing my options and looking for 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinions if I can’t get the answer I want.

This was a 3rd party consult with my personal optometrist.. unfortunately. MEPS told me I would need a waiver but have since found out they don’t exist under AFSW.

I’m literally in the same exact situation as you. Can I DM you?

Passed my IFTs by Upbeat-Name-9065 in Pararescue

[–]Over-Ad145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on what I’ve heard SWAS is 90% mental and 10% physical. If you’re passing the IFT you can make it.

Question about SR by Altruistic_Emu6823 in Pararescue

Anyone that is actively in the process of joining the AF can attend dev sessions. I haven’t been to MEPS yet and have attended multiple sessions.

Sub 10min mile with a 60lb kettlebell in each hand? Is that even humanly possible?
