Also, the availability of ammunition didn't occur to me:/ Thanks for the clarification and I will think about it no more. As in pt, I acquired a copy of Get Selected! (If you have any knowledge on the reliability of this book I'd like to hear about it) and I'm doing my best to follow the tips and guidelines (land nav, rucking, road marching) to the letter to ensure my passing of selection.

Welcome to PS.com, and thank you for enlisting.
Now... about your profile. It needs some attention to detail: "quite proffesional", "resource of information" and "68w" - though you have enlisted for this MOS, if you have not yet shipped to BCT, you are not yet that, are you?
You indicated that you had done some searching. You've been here not quite two weeks. Unless you are spending 24/7 on PS.com, I doubt that you have even scratched the surface. One reason I think that you have not is your question about the "reliability" of "Get Selected" - a topic that is found repeatedly on this board.
However, the main reason I think this is that IF you had done even a modicum of searching, you'd surely have found an oft-repeated expression having to do with "your 25m target"!
Had you read and heeded that, you could have answered your own question.
First, get shipped off to BCT. Second, complete BCT. Third, ... you get the idea.
Search, read, ponder, and then repeat. Remember, any question you have has probably already been asked.
Good luck on your journey. You have time to get all your questions answered, either through your efforts, or with the help of others.
Thanks, again, for stepping up.
PS - I've noticed a recent trend by some new board members to reply repeatedly to "spot correction" posts such as this. Trust me, a failure to reply coupled with evidence that you've taken the spot correction to heart and acted upon it is much better than any written reply. It's that "action" vs "words" thing.
