SITREP THREAD. Post your Progress Here.

Hey guys just chiming in for the last for a while. I'm shipping out to great lakes next week to start this adventure. Does anybody know if I can volunteer for a 800 division once I get there? I'm signed up as an HM but I'm walking down the SARC path and I don't want to get fat while I'm in boot.

You'll go to a regular division. Just do pull-ups in the laundry room after dark and dips between racks. Crush it. PM me if you need anything.
 
Duly noted. Guess I'll just have to skimp on parts of the chow :D I just hope SOC-P comes back online by the time I get to Ft Sam. Thanks for the advice @Scubadew
 
Thank you for all of your insight gentlemen. I am currently at the hotel, waiting to ship out in the morning and fly out to great lakes. I will keep you guys updated as I go through the motions to become a SARC.

The updates will be of value to those who decide to go down the same path.

Best of luck, and we appreciate any feedback.
 
Well...it's been quite a while :-)
Just wanted to drop in and say that....I've made it.
Getting into active duty in a matter of weeks.
Mech. Inf. NCO gig in a Mechanised Brigade in Northern Poland.
Just wanted to thank You all for all the times - the good and the bad :-)

As for me....it's been pretty rough couple of months. But, things are looking very bright as of lately.
Still keeping my eye on that 25m target.
Hope to meet some of You some day, some where.

Pozdrawiam.
Robert :-)

Let me know when you get to Ft Sam, i'll be there probably a class or two ahead of you. I have some good info for you.
 
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.
 
Good afternoon,

I haven't been able to post in quite awhile (work) and to further my progress, I have a question about training. So, lately my squadron has been quite busy with ITX and upcoming dets, resulting in me working from 0630 to around 2030-2100. With those hours I've been having to choose between pool (opens at 05) and the gym/running so I can get a decent amount of sleep.

So, because of the hours at work and lack of pool availability, ive been choosing the gym/running over the pool. My swim times have dropped +/- 2 min. I'm attending A&S in January so I'm wondering if its a better decision to lose sleep and make it to the pool in the morning and workout at night, or just pick one or the other.

Now, from what I've read, swimming seems to be quite important in A&S and would like to make a wise choice to make further progress in the areas that matter. Any advice would be great. Thank you

Here are my current stats:
3 mile- 22:30
Pull ups- 23
Crunches- 110 (max PFT)
300- 8:47
500- 10:08
Ruck- 6 Miles 1:10
CFT-300
 
Current update.

Have a small medical hiccup that I am taking care of before I can be cleared. We will see how it turns out but If everything aligns I will be able to sign a SO contract late September or early October.

I recently had the extremely cool opportunity to visit the BUD/s compound during my vacation in Coronado. I had the opportunity to talk with one of the instructors who gave me a few tips and even allowed me to try the o course which is an absolute ass kicker. I have to admit, I burned out a quarter into the slide for life and had to drop on down to the mound of sand bellow while the instructor just watched and laughed in good sport. I was fortunate enough to watch as the current class trained beach landing and movement in full combat gear and nod's which I never knew buds students did in first phase.

Overall, I am extremely motivated to train and sign my contract to do it for real.
