      They did this with everybody 20 years ago. They didn’t start saying no until after your 10th push-up- because at that point it’s a failure and not a restart. You had to be able to do about 60 push-ups to be able to complete the minimum 42 very rigid all the way up and all the way down push-ups. They would usually do it to cut down the size of the class when they were overbooked in the summer (at least that was the general consensus). Right or wrong we labeled those guys as badge protectors. It paid off to be in the front of the line and get tested before they started thinking about the class size!

    Remember all the special operations training is not always about begin fit, begin fit is one thing but the first thing is all mental. Your goal in the special operations community is earning that Green Beret, Maroon Beret, Black Beret, or getting that scroll. That’s your goal and mission,reach for those beret think about the beret, don’t think about home think about home you fail, think about the beret putting yourself first for the beret is the only way for you to succeed. These are the words that have said by many many ex special operations units who have gone through it. Yeah it sucks but remember everybody is sucking with you, work as a team you live, work alone, you die alone, you always fail. You may not like that person but work together you’d make it out alive, if these guys can do it so can you. Keep your head in the game and don’t think about home ever, mission is always first family second

    The pt run tail there has to be short by .4 at least. I didn’t my run portion in an 11:20 and my pr for a 2 mile before that was 12:10 for a 2 mile lol

    Just for anyone wondering, if you can't pass this test easily, you won't make it through the SFPC aka the Q Course.

    I’d hate to be this guy god damn, the arms work outs are easy until pull ups. I know my chest would be shredded by that point. And the two mile run with an average of less than 7 a mile is beyond my understanding. I’d probably fail the pull ups cause my max is 15 and that’s with a fresh set of arms. Dude is a beast
