We are having daily study halls after work with a curriculum including almost everything on the scoresheets. I know they will go over everything during train-up, any insider tips from those who have earned the badge?  Sat, 08 Feb 2014 20:20:30 -0500 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/any-suggestions-to-prep-for-the-efmb <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Going for the EFMB in Mar/Apr up in NJ.

Practice, practice, practice, and relax, don't over stress or you will cause yourself to forget or make stupid mistakes, relax and take it in stride and go with what you know.</p><p><br></p><p>Good luck.</p> SFC James Baber Sat, 08 Feb 2014 20:54:36 -0500 2014-02-08T20:54:36-05:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/any-suggestions-to-prep-for-the-efmb?n=104477&urlhash=104477 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The physical portion is a level above hard. Work everyday on your physical exercise and carry a backpack with about 40 pounds. That will help build your leg muscles. Also, shorten the time you sleep during the night to about 6 hours. Good Luck!!! 1SG(P) Private RallyPoint Member Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:26:22 -0400 2014-04-17T11:26:22-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/any-suggestions-to-prep-for-the-efmb?n=352694&urlhash=352694 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Did you have any luck?
