Although NG selection rates are very favorable when compared with our AC brethren, I personaly would love to see them lower than they are now as a result of more people going and more people failing... but with the net result being more selectees at the end of the TY.

Edit to add: I definately am in violent agreement with Koz and others that if you're doing the minimum you will probably have a very tough go at it (I can't imagine going to SFAS only being able to do the minimum, personally). IF you are the type of person who only STRIVES to do the minimum... well then as TR said... you're not the type of person we're looking forl
Thanks for all the help here. I was asking all of these questions to be better informed and it was entirely mis-interpited. As I went through all my research some points didn't add up so I came here for the correct information... I'm 90 days out from SFRE and when I come out of that on top, probebly another 2 months to SFAS (This is 3rd person information). Before my injury (99% fine now) I didn't ruck much, but I was heavy biking, running, and static weightlifting. With the information I recieved here, I switched to Crossfit for my gym workouts and I added rucking to my PM workouts.

Net-Net: Yes, I'm not ready for SFAS today, but will be as ready as possible for the day I hope it comes! I will do some timed events in 3 weeks and post to the board. Then I would happy to hear more feedback from all of you who have been there...
