It seems to me that if you're exercising properly, your body develops into 'good looking' shape all by itself. My mindset is- you're aiming for SFAS, not a damn beauty contest.

Sorry to intrude,

Many health care professionals, doctors included, make the same mistakes.

Damn tooth mechanics... LOL

Unless you are a mouth gardener... LOL

Alright... look who came out to play this morning. Trying to stir my interest are you? LOL

Of course I have to agree. I am sure there are plenty of baby jawbreakers that don't know their stuff. They fall in the same boat with or are similar to the in-experienced MD's that pick stocks not treat patients for a living. LOL

Not all jawbreakers are as ignorant as the "baby tooth chipper' you met. haha

Alright... that was fun. With NDD "busy" oppressing the liberated, I am glad you decided to pick up his slack in pickin with me and keeping me on my toes.

Back to thread...
Looking forward to your advice... I will chime in when I can.

(Note to all: I do believe Doc Doom knows his stuff... the above was for humor purposes only) haha

Great information, This has already been said here but the comment that follows is based on about twenty years of observing military special operations and selection courses (from waaay outside). Of course physical fitness and capacity are tested but the most important test is that of the brain under stress. When you are stressed to your physical limit the mental testing is just starting. If I'm wrong, please advise.

hey now, no need to clump us "young guys" all in one flaming stereotype.

I have yet to hear suggestions on what we should be doing instead. If we all are running into disaster and disappointment, maybe all of you Doctors, Nutritionists, Professional Athletes, etc... could provide us with a few moments of your time and steer us in a more plausable direction instead of bashing every word we post.

Many of us youngsters troll these boards and literally take in everything thing we can from the guys who have made it. Our respect for your dedication and accomplishments are the reason we are here. We too want to succeed. Nothing more...

Actually, if you read the posts by the BTDTs they've already told you what to be doing. Bashing only occurs when advice has been given and subsequently ignored.

BUT, since I'm a good guy (or maybe the fact that I got some new gear yesterday ), I'll provide a very brief summary. There are no magic pills, diets, or workout programs.....period, end of story. Balanced nutrition, physical training (ie. hard work), and MENTAL preparation lead to success. If that's not specific enough well...it's like I tell my troops: "I will not spoon feed you every bit of information and ultimately personal responsibility and initiative are what pushes one to accomplishments."

I cannot speak for the requirements for SF but if you search a little you will find it on this forum. Best of luck.

I think I am going to have to start performing searches for terms like jawbreaker, gum gardner, mouth mechanic, etc to catch all the incoming lately. LOL I had triple EWWww and teacher trying to shoot at me in other threads this morning. HAHA

back to thread...

DoctorDoom: Thankyou

QRQ 30: That is completely understandable... It should be important for those of us interested in going to SFAS to understand your point

The Reaper: Good suggestion in the first place, but I'm sure we wanted to see more peoples opinions and experiences.

Solid: Roger

Mr. Harsey: Would it be safe to say that one who is in great physical shape can endure more mental stress for longer?

Ghostrider: I don't necessarily think many of us are looking for a magical pill (can only speak for myself). We are interested in increasing our physical abilities in preparation for SFAS. If there are some trade secrets around that will keep us healthy and fit, we would love to partake.

I think what I am getting from you all is:

Do research on Nutrition and develop a rigorous training program that includes the SFAS prep workout. Through your rigorous training program you can learn to develop mental toughness that is the key to success in Special Forces. Suppliments are not recommended as their value is in question. Train long and train hard. Drink water and drive on.

Got it somewhat right?

CV,

Question everything, but do not question the Reaper, not concerning SFAS or SFQC. He has spent more time with SF candidates than you have breathing. Consider yourself fortunate he spends his own time posting on this board and assists the SF candidates in their quest to become a Special Forces soldier.

Your questions have been answered by medical professionals and a few Quiet Professionals. What you decide to do with the information is on you.

Unless one of the Quiet Professionals has an objection this thread is closed.
