Took it at Fort Lee. Not tough at all...just remember what you learned at the Air Assault Course. You'll be fine.

I took it while serving at Fort campbell. It's a good course with knowledgeable instructors. Listen to what they tell you, and it'll be a breeze

Key word "systematic"

The instructors came from active and taught a class at Camp Grayling, MI, to a bunch of us guard guys. Very simple course. Anyone who paid attention to the rigs passes (we had two failures, young kids, out of 30 soldiers).

Sequence is everything. Inspect the load the same way every time. You've heard a few cliches before: "attention to detail". It's the difference between noticing the presence or absence of a critical part that's the size of a fingernail clipping (a snap ring). Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Don't worry about time, do a good inspection. Speed will come with proficiency.
