It would only be a couple months depending on how many are in front of you.

The criteria for the PAST (Pushups, pullups, situps, and a run) is very similar to the other Special Warfare fields as far as cals go. You can look at that criteria here. My the Pass the PAST program has swimming included, which I would recommend to anyone anyway as an alternative cardio exercise in between run days in order to lessen the impact of running on your legs and prevent shin splints. The only thing the PAST program does not include is rucking which is huge in SERE. So if you can already pass the PAST and would like a bigger challenge you could go for the Get Selected program.

Absolutely, I always tell guys who have been to Indoc before that it is a chance to be the person you wanted to be at Indoc and try out different leadership tactics since the events are all about learning yourself and your team with real smoke sessions and real instructors but no negative impacts to your career.

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.

Not very difficult paperwork wise, but you will just have to reclass and try again in 1.5 years which is the standard time before you can come back in times where there is optimal manning. You may have to wait up to 3 years or complete your contract when the Air Force is more strained for man power though. The best option would be to change your mentality, do not have an escape plan. BURN THE BOATS!!

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

No, they are not paramedic certified. Also a PJ you are expected to be proficient in many aspects, such as extrication, ropes, and over all Technical Rescue Specialist. CROs are not necessarily expected to know every detail like a PJ should, they should just be aware enough to recognized safe and unsafe conditions. A CROs main focus is the up and out aspect.

Start rucking a lot. Get very comfortable wit 60 lbs on your back. Also focus on load bearing activities (i.e Farmer carries, Buddy carries, Training aids)

Only 1% of those who get to the paramedic portion don't make it through. My advice for you is grind hard! It is six months and very doable, but it is a lot, STAY FOCUSED!

Nope, you just need to be able to pass the PAST, and be 18 years old. Click here for more info.

I personally have a Garmin 735 xt, but I have heard good stuff about the apple watch. Never tried it though so I can't give an opinion about it.

If you've been in for a while then I would recommend you go CRO because if you are coming in as a e5 PJ then you have a lot of catching up to do… but as an officer you can start out a little more fresh.

Currently I have two programs, one for those who can pass the PAST and one for those who need to start out a little slower. If you can pass the PAST, my GET SELECTED program has underwaters and other watercon.

If you need help passing the PAST, choose this program.

If you are a little more advanced and you can pass the PAST, choose this program.

You will go straight to pre dive school, then dive school, then back to your duty station to PCS to Kirtland. Make sure you check out the pipeline page on the website as well.

Yes, you will get college credits through the community College of the Air Force where you can attribute those credits to an associates degree in Personnel Recovery.

Yes, you get one kick off the wall either at the beginning or half way depending on which pool you’re at.

If you are currently in high school I would recommend you join the swim team, cross-country team, and wrestling team since those are what I have seen benefit people the most in this kind of training out of high school.

Whichever you can get that is cheaper will work, it's just there as a sock for your fin to prevent blisters.

Depends on what you like. I have worn those in uniform for a long time. Also, just remember most people have field boots and garrison boots. When you are in the field, you unblouse your boots.
