How different is the new Assessment and Selection from Indoc?
This is a selection, not a course where the cadre mentor you. You will do pretty much the same types of exercises. It is a selection so they will also be getting rid of people who do not possess certain criteria or the right personality.
With Indoc being gone, what does a day at A&S look like? Is there a lot of down time at nights or is it go go go 24/7?
A mixture of both. There are some classes that get 3-4 hours of sleep a night if they are lucky and work through the weekends. Then there are others that have been given weekends. So dont count on down time
Can you explain the process for PS from shipping out to arriving at A&S?
You will go to phase 2 from your current duty unit and if you are selected you will be given a date to come back to Lackland to attend SW prep (shortened version).
Will we be allowed to bring our own boots to A&S?
Yes as long as they fall within AFI 36-2903.
Will there be the same amount of water con during A&S as Indoc since TACP and SR are going through it as well?
There will not be as much watercon, but there will be events that don't require skill in order to test fortitude. The more technical events will be saved for predive which will immediately follow selection.
Are you allowing guys to rest during push ups with their butt up in the air or is it starting position only?
Practice without resting with your butt in the air. Know that the rules can change at any time, so be prepared.
