I just completed and was selected for class 9-12. I won't sit here and repeat information that is already on this site but I will give some information why people were not selected and or failed.
1. Poor physical condition. Failed PT test, Failed runs and Ruck marchs, Injuries that could have been prevented by just being in shape from the get go.
2. Eat " ALL " your food and drink " WATER ". You will burn more calories then you take in. A few people were just to exhausted to continue. It might be nasty but if you really want it you will eat it.
3. The medic is there for a reason go see him. People were dropped for something that could have been prevented if they would have just went when they noticed a problem in the first place.
4. Land Nav gets a lot of people. Trust your compass and know your pace count, never doubt your training and stay away from the DRAWS! stay off the ROADS! even if there is 10 mins to index.
5. Be a team player, add input and help out every chance you get. Don't sit around looking like a tool. Your peers will smile at you but will note everything you do.
Do your best on everything you do even if it is not a gate, cadre are always watching and everything you do is noted. My class started out with 327 and we finished with 125 making the selection rate 39%. You don't have to be a muscle man to get selected you just have to be in top shape and have a lot of heart and want it more then you want to breath. If you make a mistake bounce back by doing better then what you did before.
Good luck and remember NEVER QUIT!
