This program has been recommended, pointed out, and linked repeatedly, but most people would rather spend hours looking for a shortcut of dubious value rather than putting the time into following instructions and training.

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.

If you can follow the program, your odds of success are much higher.

And one last thing. 100 pounds in your ruck is not twice as good as 50 lbs. If that is your idea for better training, SF is not for you. Follow the recommended training weights, and the program.

Good luck, do the best that you can.
