Assuming all requirements are met for an 18x contract are met.

As I understand the pipline is:

OSUT
Airborne
SOPC
SFAS
etc.

My questions are:
1. Any tips for stay in shape during OSUT? I assume you'd slowly get out of sf shape? (not out of shape, but not up to sf standards)
2. Is their any down time between the schools for 18X? Or does this vary?
3. What languages are currently in demand? -I'd like to give myself a heads up by getting a base in them a while.
4. What are the realistic physical standards that one should be at to have a solid shot at passing SF training, (# of push ups, pull ups, run time, etc? swimming)?
5. During the training pipeline do they have to do a 25 meter under water swim like seals or pjs?

Also any good recommendations for ASVAB prep guides? (I scored well above the min already, on the pratice one, (74) but would like to improve my score a little).

Thank you for your time.
