My feeling on the NSW subject is these guys have already cut their fat. We are still in the process of cutting the weak out. Since these guys are already SEAL qualified they typically get to work out on their own at any number of gyms available for use in the mornings. Meanwhile us Army guys (CA, and 18D candidates) are stuck doing Insanity with a non-tabbed Radiologist tech 3 days a week. This was only for about 2 months, but not something we should have been doing in the first place.

I understand we are students, but I feel like PT is a personal responsibility. We should be able to self assess our personal weaknesses and be trusted enough to better ourselves. That or have an actual PT program for us while attending SOCM. There just isn't any cohesion on the PT focus. Some blocks they don't care, and just let you do your own thing 3 of 5 days, and mandatory runs / rucks the other 2. There are kettle bells locked up in wall lockers in two classrooms we never got to use, pull up bars, that were utilized for just 4 days of organized PT sessions, and tires that were only utilized a handful of times for organized PT sessions as well.

Doing my best to not come off as whiny, or unthankful for the opportunity I have to get this training and earn my place in this community. I just feel like us 18D candidates aren't getting as good of PT and prep for what lies ahead as we should be.
