Leaving in two days!!!
Well Gentlemans, this it is. I'm leaving saturday for SFAS (class 02-07,reporting date 20 Nov). Thanks for all the advice and feedback in all the subjects...specially in the rucking and care of your feets area... Any last minute advice on how to keep your head in the game and control the Butterflys in the stomach feeling??? 
Thank you.

Well, for an intro post and then this one a few weeks later I think you should do well as a "grey man". Keep your head down and aim for the 25 meter target.
Good luck and report back.

TR-
I think Pete was complimenting him on the intro and then going grey until he gave his SFAS date, not blasting him.

reillo584-
Fear, moderated by intelligence is good. Focus on what you need to do, one task at a time, or in some cases many tasks in too little time.
Give it Hell, good luck!

reillo584 - As it has been said look at that 25 Meter target. What you have to do at that timeframe.
Hopefully you can tell a joke, just don't be a smart@$$. Humor always helps out in rough times.

Tell yourself that you are as good as those that have gone before and never consider defeat.!
Best wishes.

I won't say good luck, because luck won't have anything to do with it. Work your butt off and stay the course and you'll make it. Be a human sponge.
