Face-to-Face MARSOC Mentor?

[brokenjar03]

Any mentors available for face-to-face meetings to talk lifestyle, training prep, and even help train me (or a small group of guys)?

I love the virtual assistance and vast amount of wealth one can acquire via SS threads. However, I also understand the invaluable nature of having a person there counting pullups and NOT counting the ones I kip on, pushing me on laps, testing me on my heart for SOF, and guiding me in every area of preparation. If there are any mentors near Camp Lejeune with at least two-three free hours a week with an interest in making the mentoring experience a lot more personal could you please PM me?

Looking forward to anyone's response.

You need your hand held, would cheat yourself when doing incomplete reps and need to be pushed? Are you sure you're the right man for the job?

Digrar, no cheating. And, it's hard to hold hands when both hands are on the bar. Simply, looking for constructive feedback on pool form, and corrections in PT sessions - corrections I might not recognize need made.

All seriousness, hire a personal trainer.

Thanks Ooh-Rah1069, one that accepts tri-care, right? haha.

Fine, I'll invest my own $.

Swimming prep I "get" as it tends to cause many drops or the most pre-selection jitters, but your post goes beyond that. Lifestyle, grade me accurately because I can't/ won't grade myself the same, "testing my heart"...Marine, you've set yourself up for failure before you began. To be candid, you opened the door on a lot of self-inflicted hurt. For over 50 years (I'm going back to WWII), guys made it through selection courses without the Net or its benefits and while I don't begrudge you the knowledge available, you've taken it a bit too far. Guiding you "in every area of preparation?" "Test your heart?" "Lifestyle?" The mission is the lifestyle. Guys can balance family and a personal life, but many don't. The mission, the mission, the mission...that's what drives you. You aren't asking for a mentor, you're asking for someone to hold your hand and before you say that isn't your intent, that's what people see and perception is reality. Guys are putting in 60-80 hour weeks and you're asking for 2-3 more? That's incredibly selfish.
