Starting SFPC/SFAS next week.
EDIT: Leaving tomorrow, didn't want to add another post or start a topic, but did want to get the following out of my system:
Thank you for this great resource, I've been a member here for a few years now, and have learned a lot. Hopefully the next time I come by the forums I'll have some great news to share.

Update
Figured I'd post an update.. I apologize as it has been almost 2 years since I've posted, but as you can imagine the course is very demanding.. I currently find myself in the UXO portion of the charlie course, Sage in April hopefully. I had my run with Delta course and yes, I was certainly Geitzenated haha, but unfortunately for family reasons I wasn't able to continue. Never the less I will drive on with my mission and stay focused on the 25m target.. Everything happens for a reason. I can't wait to get to a team and finally do my damn job..

The biggest lesson? umm... I got a lot of those. The biggest lesson was understanding how each phase was different and also doing the best I could in each phase, you have to do your best in each one, you will not be good in all; know your weaknesses and work on them until they're not there anymore. For everyone in the pipeline: do not take any phase for granted, I say this because one of my classmates made that mistake during robin sage, this friend thought that because he was a medic and had good grades during mos, he pretty much had it made, well he ended up failing and recycled. Many of you know that (regardless of mos) the pipeline is a firehose(of course some have it worse), but you need to be able to somehow store all that knowledge in the back of your head and be able to bring it back when need it (culex). One last thing, remember a confident man remains quiet, a fool will talk about how good of a performer he is, actions mean more than words guys.
Now I'll shut up until I get that triple canopy.

I have been relieved from the course for failing to make time on the 12 miler for gates for SUT after Language. Currently waiting for orders in the OT company. My status on the forum should probably be updated.

Graduated with class 04-10 last Thursday. Great course overall, Sage was the best learning experience in my military career. Looking forward to continuing my learning and contributing to my team in the near future. Please let me know who to PM to update my status.
To all my fellow recent grads, please don't give G2 away to the guys soon to go to Sage. They won't learn as much! They know this too, and they want to learn by doing. Do right by them and only tell them what they need to show up.
Thanks for the input of fellow QPs here. I have read much and contributed next to nothing.

Along with some of the others here, I graduated last Thursday. What an amazing transformation this has been. Over all, the Bravo course was phenomenal and as always (from what I heard) there is never enough time to learn, but the cadre were providing us with their A-game, especially during FTX when everything came together. Robin Sage truly allows you to see all that you have learned and apply it while working in a team environment. I would have to echo others on this thread to not take any phase for granted . . . those assumptions knock out a lot of students! Also, G2-ing the course only makes it worse . . . your expectations will never be met: if you think a phase or a portion of a phase will be one way, chances are there will be a wrench thrown in their somewhere, causing many problems.
Many thanks to the mods on the boards and the other QPs who offered advice and kept our spirits up. Also, even considering some of the worst periods of grueling, miserable experiences, the SWC cadre was incredibly professional, pushing us to do our best, cheers! And now? Off on deployment!

Head to sage in 3 weeks! Just found out about this site about 2 months ago. Great info on here. This is a long course but their is so much I have learned and I feel like its just the tip of the iceberg. If their is anybody on here from C/1/19 or any of the other texas 19th group teams I was wondering if I could ask you some questions. I am considering ISTing there. Thank You.
