Sorry to hear... Assuming you failed the entry PFT? They're require a 1st class, correct?
If you don't mind me asking, what are the standards and what were your times/numbers?
If you'd like to shoot me a PM with your reply, please do so.

I'm not going to give exact numbers, but they required a PFT a few points higher than 1st Class to move on past ASPOC. But any Marine should be able to attain it.
Well I commend for for going and coming on here to inform everyone.
I'm surprised though, I had assumed anyone who was attending would be at a high first class. No doubt you'll be well prepared on the next go round! Good luck mate!

All I can say is after completing ASPOC/A&S, I'm really glad that I pushed myself with the short card prior to ASPOC. I was Selected after A&S, which was hands down the greatest news I've ever been given in my entire life. I'm slated for the Jan ITC class, which doesn't give me much time to prepare for, but I'm still in good shape BECAUSE of all of the work I did prior to attending ASPOC, so I'm pumped. Dig deep during your work up for ASPOC/A&S and you wont have too much to worry about.
Thanks for everyone's support prior to me attending ASPOC/A&S, it really helped.

Congrats HolyBear. I'm hoping to feel that feeling of acceptance next Spring.
I'm finally getting back into a decent routine and I thought I would let everyone know how things went.-
I attended A&S and was selected. I'm happy about this, but not happy with my performance while I was there. In hindsight, I should have prepared differently. I was not a star performer in any area and I firmly believe, and was told, that I was selected because of my potential for improvement. I have a long wait until I go back for ITC so I'm using this time to train smarter than I was. If anyone preparing to go to A&S wants the specifics on what I think I could have done better to prepare just ask, but keep in mind the non-disclosure agreement.
all in all, I'm excited to meet the people around here in person and learn the things you can teach me! The Marines I met at A&S were stellar, and the cadre had a wealth of experience that I wish I could have heard more about.

So I'm training and I'm on the third week of the 10 week prep guide. I just complete the 5 mile hike with the 45lbs ruck in just about 49 min. My Ssgt immediately comes up and attempted to chew my ass for not having my boots bloused. After he leaves another Ssgt comes up and congratulates me and talks to me for a bit about Marsoc. My Ssgt just can't help but hate on anything I do. He can't keep me down though cause it just motivates me that I can't and wouldn't fail A&S.
Just had to vent that.
Just had to vent that.
Greatest two words before any evolution..."un-blouse boots".
Well this is great. Just found out my Ssgt is giving me a negative counseling for the un bloused boots and subsequently non rec-ing me for it. I'm rebuttaling to the Sgtmaj but this Ssgt just has it out for me. It never stops.
