Back from MacKall...
...and happy to have SFAS behind me.
Class started with 375 and on Wednesday morning, the Day of Days, we had 248 left, excluding officers and West Pointers which made up another 22. 181 enlisted soldiers were selected and there was no boards for those marginal on points. The JIN (Joe Information Network) rumor was the Officers from each team decided who would be selected...but I have no confimation as of yet on it.
This SFAS class was the first, so said the cadre, to do an entire week of team events in some time. I now understand why Team Week is such a vital part of the process. You really get to see who has heart and who the sand baggers are when things get tough, its 98 degrees out, you are tired, frustrated, and hungry and have another 3 miles to go before you finish the first event of the day...
I am looking forward to my next step in the process.
Thanks to all for their thoughts and prayers.
Crip
There are 3 other members here who were selected, but I will let them out themselves. Stories and humor from MacKall to follow.

Untrue, unless the Battalion Commander, the CSM, and the B Company cadre were the "Officers" you are referring to.

I wont start with embarrassing stories unless James fires the first shot. 
"This SFAS class was the first, so said the cadre, to do an entire week of team events in some time. I now understand why Team Week is such a vital part of the process.
