I wanted to know has anyone gathered data on the age of new SFAS selected vs. the percentage of completion rate?
In other words a basic outline would be age vs. %

17 to 21 % of successfully completing SFAS
22 to 26 % complete
27 to 31 % complete
32 to 36 % complete
37 to 41 % complete
42 to 46 % complete

I have looked at the percentage of scores of PT success rate and the ruck success rate.
I wanted to know if anyone had these type of statistics.
Honestly, 12BMAT, you are heavy, old, and likely too slow for SF. Are you in compliance with the height-weight regs, and if not, have you passed a tape test lately?

I would worry more about getting myself selected than how others do. You should be focused on how YOU will do. There are 38 year olds who perform like 28 year olds, and 38 year olds who perform like 48 year olds.

Reading and searching here will help you more than starting threads, and more PT would be even better.

We are not going to go digging up new info for you to make you feel better.

Best of luck.
