MEPS to MEPS transfer (I processed in San Antonio for AF last year cuz my grandpa was AF, but ditched when they wanted me to go open general) will be done in about 4-5 days.
I'm not sure when the next ship date is for SF, but I want to do everything I can to be ready when the time comes. I am currently working out twice a day. I'm 5'11, 180lb, and just slightly out of shape.
Can someone tell me in general what I should be able to endure physically by the time I ship out?
Also... I was mentioning to my recruiter that I scored 99 percent on my ASVAB and he bluntly said "That's not a percentage."  I thought I had done well.
So... what the hell does it mean when it says "AFQT: 99"
Thanks a lot, everyone.  |
It has been a while for me... do they no longer do the 21 pre-qual course?
I am assuming you are going to basic and then from basic to SF training. If that is the case, you will likely be in pretty good shape from basic/ait. I would work on roadmarching. You'll do some in basic, but not like what SF will require. Build up with carrying weight (slowly work up to about 60 - 70 pounds) and build your distance. You should be able to do 12 miles with 70 pounds in less than 3 hours.
Well, that is how it was way back when....
