Active Duty Marine

[sirrlawrence]

Afternoon, my name is Lawrence and I’m a 0621 in Camp Lejeune. I’ve been training on my own for a few months and wanted to attend A&S once I achieved the rank of Corporal (currently a PFC). I’ve been using SOCOM Athlete’s workout plan for MARSOC and my PFT score is 281 (23 Pull Ups, Max Plank, 21:00 3 Mile).

I’m not a good swimmer so I’ve been trying to get in the pool and work on it using Breaststroke and Side Stroke. I also can’t tread water very well, and I use the eggbeater but I’m negatively buoyant so I sink easily. However, I’ve been watching videos on how to and learning. I was wondering if there were any fellow SOF individuals as well as CSO/SOOs on here that could help with advice preparing for A&S in the next few years. Thanks in advance.
