There are already some good questions on RallyPoint about this but they could be a little dated. LTC Yinon Weiss is one of the resident experts.

LandNav and for sure being in top shape. Recall plenty of studs that could ruck their butts off; but, couldn’t find their points, especially at night and in the rain. They all got a free ride back to Bragg for out processing. And —> get some firsthand intel from guys that recently got through and especially the most common reasons why others bombed out. Good luck.

Ask those who have been and gotten selected how to prep for A&S. Whether physically, mentally, academically, ask your questions here and provided the answer is able to be discussed, you can receive the information to not give you an advantage, but to help you prepare yourself. Those selected: please post what got you prepared and what you are glad you did beforehand. Those interested in ARSOF: ask away. If I don't have an answer I will ask...

Run. Ruck. Obstacle courses. Land nav. And for the love of God, make sure you can work with the Indians without trying to be chief all the time.

Seriously though. Tear your feet up. Beat them to death before you go, so that they can take the beating once you're there.

Run, run, run, ruck, land nav, ruck, land nav, run, run, run. Both guys I know who passed did so the second time, that was average 30 years ago. If you're not making it, then use it as a learning experience, stay positive, soak up everything you can so you know what to expect and are prepared the next time.

Everybody always says run, ruck, land Nav. If you suck at rucking and running at this point and you already have a SFAS date you're behind the curve. You should be already at your top physical fitness point. Advice?? Don't quit. Be where you're suppose to be in the uniform you're suppose to be in. If a ruck is to be at a certain weight, be at that weight. Not over and for God sake not under. Good luck.
