Excellent advice gents.

I am particularly impressed that unlike many of your peers, who will forever be in denial about why they were non-selected, you guys are able to accept the constructive criticism for what it is and determine the best path for you to return with your deficiencies corrected and be successful.

As noted, the SWCS prep program emphasizes rucking and that is most of what you will be doing. Spending time doing trendy workouts and ignoring rucking because you think anyone will be able to do that after getting into fantastic shape with the latest routine is a pretty certain path to failure.

Thanks for sharing, gents, and thanks for testing yourself at SFAS.
