I'm not going to G2 the course for anyone or give out any information that could possibly be used to spread rumors etc. about the course, but I will give some advice to those of you out there that are about to take the first step.
1. Don't quit EVER! They are always watching and are aware of the suck factor. Just do what you're told and "do the best you can." It's all meant to suck and kick your ass.
2. If you have never run or rucked in sand then I suggest you start asap. If you have never Land Naved in the dark in thick wooded areas go find some and stumble around for a bit. The draw monster got a lot of classmates' gear, maps, body parts (yes, we had a kid lose the whole first layer of his eyeball), etc.
3. Don't be an asshole or a know it all. You'd be surprised at the stats on how many combat vets w/ multiple tours either got peered or quit. Just be the guy that busts his ass and watches out for his team.
4. Don't listen to anyone who says they know what's coming next or they have the whole course G2ed. They have no freaking clue. The new SGM there is making the course totally unpredictable from 2 days of star or a 25 miler LRIM this class to whatever he wants in the class that follows mine. They want to see mature men that can handle unpredictable stressful situations.
Good Luck to those of you that are headed to SFAS or wanting to go.
Oh, the MOS I was selected for is 18D and my lang is Spanish
Almost everyone but about 5-10 guys got their first choices on MOS and lang. If there are any 18Ds out there that wouldn't mind talking to me about the 18D course then please shoot me an email or private message. Thanks in advance. Also thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement. 18XDad I saw your son's class at MacKall when they came back in from Robin Sage. Atleast I think it was his class, but who knows. Looking forward to phase 2 SUT. Back to lurking in the shadows I go.
