Processed in today. I'll be in pre-RASP for about 4 weeks and then I'll class up as RASP class 2-13.
Never had any indication in my life prior to today that I had a color vision deficiency. I see all colors fine, but apparently not well enough to pass the PIP. I've had a few hurdles in my path towards my goal and I've always been able to find a work-around. Unfortunately no matter how resourceful I am, nor how dedicated I am I can't change the way my eyes work. 20/20, both eyes, passed the RED/GREEN test, high ASVAB, perfect physical, been rucking, PT'ing per Get Selected and SORB advice, but the PIP fucked me. I would have much rather preferred a med drop in selection or something that showed that I tried and failed than this.
If anyone is aware of anything that might somehow fix anything related to this problem, please let me know.

Finished the first week of pre-RASP there's a lot of good PT here. Sgt. ***(one legged PSG) led us on a 4 mile ruck for PT last week and it was awesome to see a legendary guy like that so early on in my time behind the fence. We have also lost something like 10-12 dudes from my class.

Great news. Now for the hard part.
Make sure you are taking advantage of your time off to study and get extra pt or active recovery in. It won't matter too much how good you are at PT if you get med dropped for an over-use injury or you fail one of the written tests. I know you see the guys who don't take advantage of the time off, don't be one of them.
My buddies checked in to SOPC/SFPC, told me they had a nice welcoming party for them.
Roger that. After we are released I usually eat again and take a nap to recharge then head to Audie Murphy for another workout. I haven't been able to study much other than the creed, I have it down verbatim. We are heading out to Cole Range this week to Land Nav with the RASP 2 class so ill make sure to pay extra attention during that.
PreHab!!
Land nav...that's good shit. Not all that long ago you'd been shoveling dirt and picking up trash in preparation for RIP/RASP and Battalion.
Only worldwide gets detailed to that now.
I'm just grateful I get a shot at the hard part. Now to make sure I don't waste this opportunity.
Im thinking mobilitywod.com is gonna become a good friend of mine.
And get yourself a foam roller yesterday if you don't already have one.
Going to MEPS this week. About damn time. For those who don't know, Navy EOD is the plan.
Question: Wanted to join an MMA gym with some friends for the last year I'll be home. Good idea to have fun and stay in shape, or is the injury risk not worth it? If I get another concussion, I would be concerned about being fucked.

Better/Safer ways to stay in shape.
MA/SOFWOD/CF etc... SOFWOD is very selection based with a lot of swimming thrown in. They would get my vote.
Just my 2 pennies...

I get turned over to the cadre tomorrow and we start phase 1 of RASP on Monday. Next SITREP will be after Cole Range and we hit phase 2. It's time.
