For selection it will be both, for dive school it's a 12ft pool.

If you push off the bottom of the pool harder, it causes you to come out of the water more, which will help you sink faster since you will have more momentum than just a dead pause at the top.

I would do some interval work, like 400-800m and do one day a week where you run 6-8 mi.

I honestly don't know, but I know many people on the board and they know what I do in my business. You need to be able to live the principles taught in the The TEST Event, and that will show them you are the guy they want to work with. For more information about The TEST, click here.

As a 3 level you can be sent to either place.

As an NCO we would expect you to act in your leadership capacity as outlined in the little brown book. You should have solid leadership skills so you can help Airmen learn, and take care of them. We also expect you to hold the team accountable and lead with integrity. As far as physical standards, it is hopeful that our NCO can lead by example.

Indoc is the most difficult in all aspects. SERE Is not really difficult it just is cold and less sleep.

In order to start the past program there are not specific benchmarks but I usually tell people as long as they can pass the AF PT test then they will be just fine. Also, you can repeat the workout as many times as you want for up to a year from your purchase date. Equipment recommendations can be found on my website here or on my amazon page here.

Yes as long as they fall within AFI 36-2903.

The ones I use are keens (super comfortable but not as durable as some) and Lowas which are more durable but more expensive. Another recommendations, Salomon’s they makes several boots that work 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.

Same for all afscs

Yes, for some reason that one doesn’t last a year like a normal one does.

Practice without resting with your butt in the air. Know that the rules can change at any time, so be prepared.

Usually, when you are about to graduate the have a list of available bases on the board and they rank your performance throughout the pipeline, the top guy picks first and so on.
