For almost all SF related classes the question is "Did the guy make it or wash out?"

Guys who make it tend to say it was not as hard as everybody makes it out to be. A little hard here and there but no prblem.

Guys who wash out and are honest will tell the true about how hard the training was and why they were dropped.

A guy who is full of shit says the clasic line of something like "Yeah, I got there and found out they were full of shit and I told them they could shove the course." He got smoked bad and is too chicken to admit what happened to him.

G-2ing a course also has a big draw back. Things change a tad here and a bit there. The order of stuff changes, something new is added, something old deleted. When you come under stress and something changes it could blow your mental state and that is very bad. Don't need people who stress out on teams.

Best thing is to do what you're told, when you're told and the best you can. If somebody in charge tells you the sun is not coming up in the morning say "Roger that" and check your flashlight batteries.
