Maybe the cut down to two weeks requires a big smoker early in the course. Or maybe it is the younger age of the candidates.
I am not a fan of the technique. Tell the candidates what to do and let them go.
The biometric monitoring is something that has been needed for a long time. Glad to see it added.
For those thinking that they will G2 the course from this show, I suspect that it has already changed significantly. Good luck.

TR in our class there was not that much yelling, still plenty of sarcasm, but mostly in a lowered voice, during log pt there was yelling, but not that much.
Unless we were an anomaly they have done away with the biometric monitoring already. They still have tracking ability, but unless it was able to get biometric stats without touching the body it didn't collect it.
I was little surprised at some of the techniques it showed for cadre during the Star, I personally would rather they not have showed that, some may do the right thing when they might normally not because they know the capabilities and some of the SOP the cadre are using.
I also am surprised how much of team week they showed, IMO it will provide an edge that we didn't have on several of the events that others didn't have. The course has changed some, but I also saw a lot of things that were the same.
Overall I thought it was pretty well done, and I enjoyed watching it with my wife, I saw some familiar faces and she got to see some of what I did. I personally don’t think it gave away to much more than can be currently found in books and on the internet with a little searching. One can have a pretty good idea of what to expect if one chooses, but I don’t think there’s a way around that in the information age, but that’s just my .02.
