Hello Gentlemen,
Quick question if I may.....
Have an 18x contract.
From what I can tell so far....if you want to be 100% prepared for SFAS (and you're stupid not to be) you should be consistently getting the below. (i.e. the effort should not be to exhaustion - can do the different exercises a few days in a row and still be consistent)
I have been told that BCT & BAT will not help you get to this level and so you should go into BCT at this level.
Have ordered Warrior Mentor book, but was hoping for an answer sooner.
APFT = score 300 in 17-21 age group (Sit-ups / press-ups / short run)
Pull-ups = min 6 (preferable 12)
Swim = min 50m in BDUs (preferable 100m)
Ruck March = 12 miles @ 55lb + LBE + Rifle,
= 13 min miles + breaks
= Correct Shoes, LBE, Technique, and foot care.
QUESTION: Have I covered everything here?
NEXT
Have damaged my knee while playing football....and although no big deal (Dr says) I have to keep of it for 6 weeks. (incl cycling and swimming)
Although I can work on my upper and core strength
, I can't work on the running stuff.....so by the time I can start the cardio up again, I may not have enough time to get up to speed before I ship out.
I have been told I can request an extension to my ship date and would like to take this option if the facts show that I won't be fully prepared in time.
Currently consistently scoring 220 on APFT, (sit-ups a bit low though.)
Hitting 16 min miles on rucking....need to improve!!
QUESTION: I know this is a hard question to answer as it so subjective, but
6 weeks till knee ready…….how many weeks after that would I need to get up to speed in the ‘swim/run/ruck’ area before I ship?
4 wks? 6 wks? 12 wks?
pls note.....I have much free time to put into training as I need.
Your assistance is appreciated
