Right, as I said it is only that individual's opinion. But he was not the only member who shared that opinion. While what you say is true I'd have to agree with the idea that CSOR is a good "gut check" for JTF2 seeing as many of the attributes and abilities that would make you succeed in CSOR...

In regards to what I wrote earlier it wasn't hearsay or coming from a friend of a friend. It was from the living, breathing, mythical creature known as an assaulter. Yes they exist and yes that's what he personally told me.

Having personally spoken with an assaulter recently I've come to understand that CSOR is a stepping stone. While it may only be the individual's opinion, he did say that JTF2 recruiting exclusively from CSOR in the future is a good idea. In his own words CSOR is an awesome gut check for JTF2...

Agreed with Dolphin_Hunter as well. The simple ones that just say SAMCRO are best. Big fan of the show myself.

Surprised this isn't getting more attention.

Strictly from a physical standpoint I'd say you're at a good place. People I completed BIQ with were definitely below your numbers and even though they struggled they did make it in the end. However, never settle for being mediocre and always work to improve yourself physically, especially in...

My physiotherapist told me the only semi-permanent way to alleviate the problem is to forcefully break up the scar tissue which is pretty painful but worked for me. I wear orthotics for flat feet too and I only get the pain in one leg as well, that's perfectly normal. The difference with me is I...

About your ITBS, I had the same thing going into basic. I was able to get a medical chit for long distance runs because that's when it kicked in. Also, go to physio for it. My physiotherapist would basically dig his elbows into my IT band to break up the scar tissue. Sucked big time but within...
