Hallucinations...
I found this site by chance and happen to read this thread. Thought is was funny that someone was discussing the plight of class 706 and even funnier that the night we stood in formation came up. I can stand tall as a survivor/grad of that class and tell you that not only did it happen but it continued to rain into the morning and once we wer finally released, we had to construct hooches to sleep in. It was comical at best as I recall one tired mofu just laying down in a puddle and instantly snoring. I can confidentlyh say that I was as fit as anyone there and it was no joke.
There were guys who were selected that did not train up and there were those that truly put in the time and got on the "short bus" to go home. I trained up and felt confident through most of it and would suggest taking that route. Read that book but more importantly just be 100% sure you want it, since that book will not do much for you in the middle (Where ever that was...) of a 30 mile ruck.
And if you think the cadre was joking about drinking water...try getting through without it...the medics will "rectal-fy" the situation for you. Seen it and it never before have I been so inspired to hydrate. Anyways sounds like a lot of good info being passed here, so to you guys that want in, take notes and train and be sure about what you want in life before you get off the bus because I saw a lot of good guys left out when they called out the names for those of us that were selected.
And to the former guys that run this thing...it is an amazing tool and I hope the guys who use it appreciate it and the time you put into help us out. As for the cadre that write in...I am still mad about that night in the rain...kidding. I knew the asshole that was out there sleeping and who failed to fire the SC. I had a blast an appreciate the effort, it was a life changing experience. Looking forward to everything ahead.
