Marine Corps Martial Arts Instructor Course. I would've rather done bootcamp twice than do that again. It might've just been the instructor-trainer and the group. There were 5 students. We did all the way through black belt training. It was awful. Carrying big ass logs and running with 60lbs of sand at distances we normally humped at...

Horrible. I'm a PT stud (or was before I transitioned to 1st Civ Div) and that was the only course in 10 years where I nearly passed out. It was awful. I can only imagine how awful the Instructor-Trainer course at Quantico must be.

Warrant Officer Candidate Course. At the time it had a high washout rate.

Capt Daniel Goodman they have eased off a lot since then. I attended in 1992, over 50% dropped.

Actually, a family friend, I'd mentioned this on the site and app before, had been Army enlisted, he got Artmy WOCS rotary wing while he'd been in, he got his bachelors at Embry Riddle in aviation while an Army warrant, then Army released him, USCG picked him up for rotary wing, he finished hie 20 yrs as a USCG O-3...that was the only time I'd ever actually met anyone who'd gone through the program...I'd wanted, as you might've also seen me mention a few times, to have tried to have gone active duty USPHS, as I'd trained under an O-6 with them in an externship for my clinical allied-health doctorate before my total perm disability...I'd read USPHS apparently is allowed warrants by statute, though they've evidently never asked for any from Congress...I actually, as I've also said, could never quite perceive why USAF got rid of warrants, during when I was in, I gather the CMSgt super-grade NCO was deemed sufficient, it just always struck me as rather a waste of a very usefulo niche, you know? There'd been some stuff I'd read about USPHS being suggested to use paramedics as warrants, though I gather that apparently never went anywhere, incl for the Inactive Reserve they'd had, that had also really interested me, as well...just a few thoughts figured might be of interest, for whatever they're worth....
