I personally think that many look at it and choose to ignore it bacause it looks too hard. Here is a little tip: if you think the prep program is too hard, or you don't think you can follow it, you are not going to suddenly grow wings and fly around Camp Mackall. Give up and quit now, and save us the time, effort, and expense of shipping your lazy ass to Bragg.

Heaven Sent...
 
This is great...I was hoping to find a great workout schedule to help me get in peak physical shape before SFAS. I still have a long way to go...Starting Dec 30, I'll have about 20 weeks to get in shape. I was wondering how much free time I would get in Advanced Infantry Training and Airborne School. Is it like a normal work day, free time on base after the training day? Or is it more strict? I'm hoping I can get the time to work on my physical fitness with a buddy or alone rather than only on standard PT days.
Thanks for the great post...It will help me indeed.


[QUOTE=Kyobanim;81108]I found this while cleaning out my hard drive and thought someone might benefit from it. I can't remember where I found it or if it has been posted here before.

Attaining physical fitness is not an overnight process; the body must go through three stages:

Climbing Rope In Iraq
 
Deployed to Iraq.... at Joint Base Balad. It's a curse. Prepping for Selection (012-09) I was worried about not getting time to practice rope climbing technique. Some unit was nice enough to build a mock obstacle course. They obviously did not want any one to actually use it, because they put a fence around it.

On my way back in from a ruck march the other night, I got tired of looking at the rope and not climbing it. I dropped my gear and all night-time required reflective equipment, and made my way over the fence. It was a great time of going over technique. It's only about 15 ft. of rope, but enough.

If you find yourself unlucky enough to be stationed on JBB and stay sane enough to train, the rope is located 75 m off of Penn. Ave, East side of the road, kind of across from Killeen Field.

Imbued are daily motivational quotes from some famous and some not so famous intellectuals. I also did weekly closings for reflection, and further motivation.

Thanks!

Who are you and what have you accomplished to be dispensing advice to anyone here? You are 19 and have zero military experience.

I believe that you should make it through SFAS before you start telling others how to prepare themselves.
