Yep - all those damn power-point command briefs being given by some staffer in a monotone tone of voice - put me to sleep every time. :p

And so it goes...

Problem or solution?

It's all in the seasoning....
Everglades works on everything.

Is this the "Tough One" that I remember so well?

If I remember correctly the Tough One (along with the rappelling wall) was enjoyed on the Sunday before Team Week (week three).

2 Weeks becoming 3 Weeks
 

Watched the show here in Iraq. Thought it was good. I think it was put together fairly professionally considering what it was covering.

Towards the end of the show, the narrator made mention of SFAS becoming "3 Weeks In Hell". I haven't seen any other details about this on the web. Does anyone have any info into SFAS moving to 3 weeks?

Does anyone know when the show is going to air again or somewhere online that I can watch it as a full episode and not as clips? My wife's brother in law is in the process of applying for SFAS and I wanted to send him the link to watch the episode and possibly let him borrow my copy of Get Selected for Special Forces.

What more info do you NEED to know Sir.

The number of days/weeks is irrelevant to preparing for or being successfully selected at SFAS. If you have talked to an SF recruiter he should have provided you with all you need to know.

The two week SFAS cycle, I'm assuming was a test that didn't work well. Cadre size, available staff, world wide work demands, etc. caused the school house to make suttle changes to test and evaluate course curriculums.

Going back to 3 weeks is not new.

ATRRS has all you need to know, sir.

Crip-
I agree with you 100% on the length be irrelavant. I haven't spoke with a recruiter in a while but last time I did it was still at 2 weeks and to us here in Iraq training we were still under the impression selection was 2 weeks. The show just aired this past weekend over here so the word of SFAS moving to 3 weeks was news to us.

Head-
Thanks for the info

I cant seem to find the full presentation anywhere on the net, just clips. Anyone know where I can find the full deal?

I am in Germany and I dont have AFN.

Brother,

You really didn't miss much.

Oh, I don't know about that! It has some of the best puking sequences since the "barf-o-rama" segment of "Stand By Me"! :D

ok, ok, so he missed the puking. I however, require more stimulation as entertainment.

True story, while serving a MTT at Benning, my ODA assisted with IOBC, all LTs, most newly Airborne grads, in their first and 6th jump since BAT.

We conducted a 2 hrs flight NOE, most of the students were feeling slight air sickness. My friend, the ODA Medic gave me a motion sickness bag. Unknowing to others, I had a second bag already filled with a water mushed up MRE. When I turned to relieve myself, I turned around again giving him a 'full' bag of puke. He began gulping the meal, and 20 LTs lost theirs.
