-Be ready for the rope, it is a short one you start when do the "though one" obstacle which is climb the rope all the way till you get over the beam without the help of your knee, walk on straight beam, get to the net all the way up and down. ( seriously it is not so though one !!)

-After you do the obstacle course, you will change boots to your go fasters, and do the 2 miles run, which you need to pass .

-You are allowed to fail two obstacles , many fail the "short" rope on the "tough one" , the ladder, the wall which is about 15-20 degrees angle .

-After you pass your day zero, make sure to study the notes they gave you while in the class room, they will give you the book, and the fill in notes booklet. Seriously the test is more than 75% from the notes, and the hand signal test just memorize it, and do tons of practice with a buddy.

- When you reach the inspection and finding the deficiency, pay attention to the small things, a pin on castle nut can be the "go" OR "no go" on your test, and while you in the kitchen go around the kitchen table and practice the inspection, the net might be the toughest one, practice the kitchen table method, it worked for me .

- Study, and never give up .

-the 12 miles march is easy, you have to make it within 3 hours which is really easy , have your feet ready, bodyglide, Dr scholls blister free spray from Walgreens will do the trick , you got to drink a full canteen every 3 miles which they will check it when you get to the 3 miles mark, and yes they will be watching for anybody who spill the water, or not even hold the weapon in the way that authorized .

-Good luck.
