You get smoked before the obstacle course. So practice the obstacle course after doing push ups, lunges, sit ups, air squats, and burpees for like 30 min.
This is sage advice. I would also add, do not underestimate the ruck march. Back in 2012 at the Ft. Campbell Air Assault school, the ruck was 3 miles out, 3 miles back, 3 miles out, and 3 miles back (12 miles). Drink water and prepare for a ruck like that, don't start out too strong.
Back in the 80s you had to do a layout before the ruck. if you’re missing any item from the layout you replaced it with a brick so if you were missing your inserts from your winter gloves, you received two bricks and you put them in your ruck. Also, during the obstacle course, if you caught up to the person on the obstacle in front of you, they made you run around the obstacle while that person negotiated the obstacle.
From what people who attended AA at Campbell it’s a bit easier. Same material and standards but less smoke sessions, weekends off and if you are stationed there you can go back home. The cadre staying late to help students is the key.
@@Dogmeat1950 is an MTT-Mobile Training Team course? The running joke is don’t take an MTT course in HI because the cadre don’t stick around after class. They are out exploring the island. If it’s at Schofield, I would imagine the topography makes the ruck harder
I saw a dude get dropped on the last day because one of his dog tags ripped off during the 12 mile, and he only had one tag during the checkout. If your going, tie those to one of your belt straps and wear it in your pocket. Like he said, they don't F around with the little things.
exactly right no errors How come outside when you leave the military out here it’s all mistakes after mistakes so that’s the whole point we got trained not to make mistakes.
AASLT for me was just a test to see how well you can keep information while being smoked. I felt bad for the people that failed the layout after the 12 mile, literally dropped hrs before graduation is a bitter pill.
It’s just a smoke fest and as long as you can remember things in sequence you will be fine also climbing a rope helps but if you can’t do the o course you probably in the wrong profession let alone go through a military skill course lol
Idk about that paying attention to detail shit because there were some dumb mofos with air assault badge that when you look at them you question how the fuck have they survived so long.
That’s an insane amount of weight. The most you’ll carry in Ranger school is probably 80 lbs. maybe a little more at times with ammo and water but usually in the 60 lb range.
@@CoffeeManiaTV you’re carrying 165 lbs? That’s unnecessary training. I thought you meant ruck marching, you’ll never ruck with that much weight. You’ll never have a test carrying 165 lbs unless you’re trying to be private security contractor. Even in that scenario you’ll carry a dummy from one spot to another which I did just fine without ever training carrying dead weight. And that weight is more than I weigh.
@@LP3me I really like carrying weights. Am currently at 85 kilos in my sandbag, load it onto my shoulders and start walking. Like people like Alexander Zass, he carried a horse, I guess he is a bit of a role model... point is... I saw a video once where a huge Ranger weighing over 100 kilos told the other soldiers, that even he wants to return home when injured, and that they should be prepared to carry people over long distances. Should I go from manual labor to the army, I want to be prepared, and I want to be able to help my comrades should they be in need of it.
@@CoffeeManiaTV ya I get that. I was Army Infantry with combat deployments and went through Ranger school. I’m just saying you won’t ever have to do that. The likelihood of you being in battle is slim to none right now and if you have to carry someone there will be people next to you to help out. I guess that’s great if you want to get physically strong but like I said, highly unlikely you’d ever carry someone by yourself.
