SFRE
This is directly from my instructional packet (email) for the Nov 13 SFRE
"The first event is the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT).
You must score 80 points in each category for your age group.
The second event is a 50 meter swim test in uniform and boots.
Any stroke is authorized, there is no time limit, you must complete 50 meters
without touching the side or bottom of the pool.
The third event is a ruck march, (in a dry uniform and boots) with a 55lb
pack. Dry weight, before you add your water.
If you do not have a ruck, MOLLE, ALICE Pack or other at all, one can be
provided. (You'll be better off using the one you have been training with).
The course will be marked, the distance will not be given. You must maintain
a sub-15 minute/mile pace to meet the standard.
There will be several points with water available. A CamelBak or similar
hydration system to carry your water is highly encouraged.
If you are successful with all three events, we will start the process to
enlist/transfer you into the company to attend SFAS/SFQC."
I was also lead to believe by the recruiter I talked to over the phone that if one was successful in all three events then the unit would send you to SFAS, making it a pass/fail event rather than a competition.
That was my understanding of it. I may very well be wrong which is why I intend to max out everything I possibly can.
hope this helps
