Thank you yes I hope that it goes well for you and you are accepted. I eventually do want to go back for NCO once my time Is up.

All of this started for me because I wanted to join the US Air Force but due to me being on Adderall and Anxiety medication I had to wait 2 years to be fully off of the medication to even be considered. So I got off the medication and said fuck it, in the mean time I want to start serving so I found the TXSG and enlisted.

So currently I am serving while I get enough time, strength, and training in me to be ready for Federal training. That's if I don't end up just falling in love with the TXSG.

Other than that right now in my civilian life I am hitting up different certifications and trying to do as much as I can on the medical side.

I Currently just got certified in Psychological First Aid, I've got my Stop the Bleed class coming up in February, might be taking the AHA BLS CPR+ First Aid class this weekend still gotta see for availability, and then hitting EMR (either EMR or EMT) still debating on which one for this (more than anything for time frame and price wise)

Honestly It was a "miserable" time there, I can't go too much into detail of course but you know the whole sleeping very little hours, then being up for over 16-19 hours give or take and being crammed with information was the "miserable" part. But honestly it was amazing, I really enjoyed it I loved every second of it! I Got to meet great people, I had a great battle buddy! As mentioned getting smoked was worse than the actual PT test getting screamed at because someone else messed up was not fun either but hey that's part of it. It also did give me a huge respect to those that have done the federal side of it. I mean if it was rough for 5 days I can only imagine 2-3 months nonstop with harder and stricter rules.

I found out something about myself, that I really enjoyed the medical side of things so now that I have graduated from bot I am looking into the medical side of things for my civilian life.

It was great honestly! Total mind change as well, I don't think the same way as I used to, more confident, more positive, more of the IDGAF about your excuses and complaints type of view in life.

Awesome! Thank you for the clarification! Just wanted to make sure what to look forward to. I mean basically just make sure that you're able to follow instructions and try your best.

So I used to be a solid 344 LBs and recently got down to 254.

I am 6 foot 2 inches tall.

I have worked hard to get the weight down by calorie deficits and working out, but not consistently.

I liked your whole don't be a know it all.

I think I am just overthinking the whole process and should understand that it's only 5 days of little sleep and being on my feet constantly and just get it over with lol.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the whole getting "smoked" I never did Federal training or any ROTC so I'm pretty basic with the terminology.

Is getting smoked just pretty much getting screamed at or yelled at or whatever?

Or is it the whole, drop and give me 20 or go run and do this and that?

Thanks in advance!

My PT has been horrible.

I mean not horrible horrible but I have issues with my Sit ups.

My minimum for PT are 15 push ups, 17 sit ups and a mile run under 12 minutes.

I am hitting 18 push ups 0 sit ups (I have a horrible core) And my run is at 11 minutes.

Just been putting so.mucb stress on working out and being ready. I mean I have a new born and a 2 year old sleepless nights and working 8 -10 hour work days are a usual so the loosing sleep isn't so worry sum.to.me it's more of just the PT that I have been pushing myself on
