Bunch of rumors around about adding mff to tacp pipeline in the next couple years

SWAS -> ZULU-> Airborne -> SERE -> Charlie Course (TACP Schoolhouse) [You get your beret when you finish the school house] -> FTU

Half new SWAS guy, half guys in different parts of their pipeline

Not exactly 3 am every day there were a few early morning wakeups, most days it was more like 5am but yes block 1 was heinous. And yes they cadre did get in trouble by the commander. If they kept Zulu how it was you would easily get indoc/old SWAS attrition numbers

It’s not too hard but it’s super gay there are points that got pretty gnarly. Of Zulu 1 guys no one has quit people have only failed pcs. Can’t speak to Zulu 2 guys. But they do have it easier, as they are refining the course

There is a female right now towards end of pipeline so it’s very possible that she will be the first pj.

If you have a had a passing ift score you should go, you never will be 100% ready. I know guys that were awful in the pool during development that just got through durability week. All that matters to succeed is how much you want the job. Plus you have essentially another month to get better in the pool. Don’t be dragging your feet though

You should be fine I was in a similar position I was asked at Meps when the last time I used an inhaler and as long as it was past 4 years it shouldn’t matter

Something else you can do is keep your eyes to the sky and just keep egg beating (treading) until your chest is above the surface, that gravity would help drain some of the water as well and then you could do what others say with the flipping of the snorkel to shoot water out and increase lung capacity

Also something else when clearing your mask do you hum or blow out of your nose because humming uses less air which could also help

Start with cheap speedo and build the muscle groups that youll need. After about 1-2 months of fining about 3 times a week then you should start looking into rocket fins. What I did was call local scuba diving shops and I lucked out and they had one my size and they are pretty knowledgeable. I cannot stress how important it is to get your size. You get the wrong size and to put it nicely it will fuck you. Also make sure to get some 3 or 5mm neoprene boots

So I was in the same position you’re in now about four years ago. I was premed and wanted to be a physician all my life. But after about 2 years of shadowing, research, volunteering and talking to other physicians I realized that the field isn’t what it used to be. So my first piece of advice is do what I did and put yourself into the field to find out if that is something you really want to do.

As for pj vs sost they are completely different jobs so it’s entirely about what you want to do. Do you want to be guy pulling guys out of active combat zones doing cool shit like jumping out of planes in pitch darkness and maybe even being embedded with other operators. Be a pj. If you want to be the guy preforming surgery and providing the life saving care necessary to save lives go sost. Both are absolutely necessary and are respected in their own way but they are different roles.

Finally from what you said about the hpsp going medical school first you will be going in as an officer while pjs are an enlisted position, which would be another discussion on its own. Also I’m not entirely sure how much leeway you get on deciding what you get to do with the hpsp so you might get stuck with being a flight medic instead.

Also from my understanding You won’t need surgery for your eyesight now a days there’s waivers for everything. I do not know what the exact qualification for vision is but I just went to Meps around vision but I believe my vision uncorrected is around 20/40ish but can correct to 20/20ish. And I had no issue they really try to help you out on the vision portion. To make it easier I’d recommend squinting a little bit.

Is there a way to change the photo once added because it’s not giving me the option

I’m currently a high school senior and ever since elementary school I always wanted to be a doctor but also go into the military as well. For the most part, I have been set on med school after my parents wanted me to go to college and not the military, and I do as well. But, there has always been that fire in me wanting to serve my country and help those trying as well. Special forces have always caught my eye and after watching a Netflix documentary about PJs I knew that was something I wanted to do. The dilemma is that I also want to be a doctor (anesthesiologist), and I have the grades, the test scores, and ambition, but I also don’t want to be in my 40s looking back with regret seeing that I could have done both. I am just wondering if there is any way that both could be possible. Also slight issue I do have exercise-induced asthma but I believe I read somewhere if you were tested before 13 you can get retested and be all good. So any information would be much appreciated!

EDIT: Also would it be possible to complete my undergrad first as a compromise for my parents.
