I haven't posted anything since my intro. I try to learn from searching through the forums as much as possible, but the prompt for this one seems welcoming.
Current Situation: Air Force active duty taking my official PAST next week for Phase I submission (a SOF mentor of mine is personally administering it). It's been a minute since I executed a complete practice PAST, but my 500m swim was an 8:21 yesterday after knocking out 20 pull-ups, 73 sit-ups, and 80 push-ups. My 3-mile run was a 21:23 this morning - although I'm stationed at 6,200-ft elevation and from experience, I lose about 30-45 seconds per mile between here and sea level. I'm feeling very confident about what my numbers will be next week.
My biggest hurdle has been water confidence drills. When I began training and learning proper technique, I could only make it 10m or so before popping for air. During a recent TDY to Nellis, I was comfortable with 25m underwaters at a 2-minute interval. Much thanks to my two mentors, one of which spent hours one-on-one drilling me in the water (as awful as it was at the time). A new SOF member stationed in the area has begun helping myself and a few others as well.
Starting to have dreams about being at Phase II - visualizing the goal. Thanks to all the members, verified SOF and prospects who ask questions - the content on these forums is invaluable for us prospects.
