1. Concentrate on the 25m target...completing Basic & AIT while being doing the best you can do and being a good team player.

2. Be in the best physical shape you can be in. IE running, pushups & setups...thats what they grade you on the APFT.

3. Don't be afraid to take a constructive butt-chewing. Because you will get it. Being a Ranger,SF or whatever "Special Guy" you want to be isn't always about being the toughest guy on the block, its about being the a good soldier first. Also be the guy who gives 110% all the time, not just when cadre are watching.

4. Forget about all the martial arts for now. Its great stuff, but I would rather have a good FO who can call in death & destruction in a firefight than a Bruce Lee who can't hit the broadside of a barn with his issued weapon.

5 Put emphasize on #1 & 2.

Good luck with your goals.
