Personal Readiness and Personal Responsibility starts with the preparation for SFAS and continuous throughout SFAS. Showing up to SFAS other than physically ready will make your stay very long but also shows that you cant take care of yourself. Also having your equipment/gear ready at all times shows that you are prepared for any events (remember you don't know what is coming next). So take some time and prep your things. You got to have this mindset! Remember you are being assessed at all times.
Try not to G2 the course. Show up, be prepared to execute whenever and whatever the cadre need you to do. Cadre will know when you are "gaming it" and it is not a good look to have. All you need to know is that you will be rucking and running so prepare accordingly. Not knowing what or how far I had to go each day made me push myself even harder.
Keep a positive attitude at all times. SFAS is designed to be very physically demanding at times and it is your response to "the sucking" what the cadre are looking for. So don't worry if it hurts sometimes just remember that everybody has breaking point just don't let it become your failing point.
If you are an Officer/NCO be leader within your group. There are many junior enlisted soldiers attending SFAS and your influence on them goes a long way. So pass on lessons learned from your time in the army, step up when you need to be charge and always support the leadership.
The course was a great experience and teaches you much about you. I got meet great individuals. Good luck to all and don't hesitate to ask me any questions.
