The longest minute in your life on a wrestling mat is not lasting the last 60 seconds of the ninth minute but the last ten seconds when someone is working to pin you during the first minute or the last. Your goal is to be prepared to go the full nine minutes and not hope that they have cut it to six, especially if you are one of those folks that have done the minimum to just meet the standard. Most of us have all heard about, or have been in, the last hard class
and for some reason each succeeding class was the next last, last hard class. Don't worry, whatever the length, the cadre will know whether or not you have what it takes to go to the next step of trying to become a Special Forces Soldier. If, as some might fear, they have cut it to ramp up the numbers that they can put into the pipeline and some work their way into the system that should not be there, the real awakening will be on your first team. When you hear about Team Sergeants taking someone under their wing to bring them up to speed, they are not talking about some kindly gentleman placing his arm around your shoulder they are talking about someone putting you into a full nelson until your neck gets stong enough to carry your weight or it snaps.
