Prioritize working on the body and mind

  What is the Assessment and Selection? ( A&S) There has been a big change in the Air Force special warfare pipeline since I went through it.  There is now a phase in the beginning known as the assessment and selection, or A&S. You may have heard about this.  Gone are the days of a pipeline designed to build   you up before crushing you at Combat Control school.  Pararescue and Special Recon, or S&R ( formerly known as Combat Weather, are also seeing this major change.   Even the old Pararescue Indoctrination has gone away. The Combat Weather pipeline was pretty much just winging it.  They shared a lot of the combat control pipeline, but the pipeline order or location of schools could be vastly different from person to person. I've gotten questions about this new phase like: Do I think they've made it easier?  Did they change it around because females are allowed to enter the training?  What happens at A & S?

When I was younger, I didn't have a clue what I wanted to do with my life.  I looked at the people that had a plan with envy and feelings of inadequacy in my own life.    I realize now that we don'

  " A lion sleeps in the heart of every brave man" - Turkish proverb Focus your attention 100 percent, after that, take a break If you haven't heard already, Air Force special warfare training is long.  It could take nearly 2 years to get through the training; that's if you don't get injured or rolled back.  The old advise that's been around as long as the training itself is: take it one moment at a time.  Having as much mental and physical energy as possible is vital for success in elite levels of training, which is why we should live more like the elite. I been looking at how people at elite levels perform, and what caught me off guard is how they approach training or accomplishing tasks. Instead of going through their day constantly working, striving, and trying to reach the next level, they do short bursts of activity with breaks in between.  It's kind of how a lions live there lives.   Lions don't hunt all day long, work out, or stay  busy givin
