I agree with SF BHT. I have to ask though, what does this program cost SWC in terms of manpower and budget? Is it even worth extending an already long course by adding more requirements on the front end? Any brothers here able to educate us on the pro's of "Pre Hazing"?
Blue02, that is exactly the course I have spoken of in the team room....it corrupts the purpose of SFAS it is a physical and skill prep course for SFAS....they are rucked until their feet and bodies harden...taught skills, physically trained for the PT test called physical assessment today.....it is teaching and prepping to the test......the entire purpose is to reduce attrition in SFAS....the problem with it? It us led by SF soldiers/ cadre and it eliminates the evaluation of initiative and self discipline and since it is preparation to the test.....kind of makes a guy question as to what the purpose of an assessment and selection is for
