That's Bill thinking he knows more than LAV about diet and exercise.

Guess Bill feels up to this:

SFAS is a 3-week program run by the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (USAJFKSWCS) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. After completing the application procedures and receiving a date to attend SFAS (usually through the assistance of an SF recruiter), the soldier reports to Fort Bragg on temporary duty (TDY) status.

The purpose of SFAS is to identify soldiers who have the potential for SF training. The program has two phases. The first phase assesses physical fitness, motivation, and ability to cope with stress. Activities in this phase include psychological tests; physical fitness and swim tests; runs, obstacle courses, and ruckmarches; and military orienteering exercises. An evaluation board meets after the first phase to determine which candidates will be allowed to continue in the program. The second phase assesses leadership and teamwork skills. At the end, another board meets to select those soldiers who may attend the SFQC.

Most candidates find SFAS to be physically demanding. During in-processing, candidates must score a minimum of 206 on the Army Physical Fitness Test for the 17- to 21-year-old age group, and they must swim 50 meters while dressed in boots and fatigues. All assessment activities require the soldier to be well prepared physically.

Ruckmarching and foot care are especially important to any soldier’s preparation.

Think that^^, but with rucks, instead of boats.

I'm just not understanding why it is you feel so damned indebted to defend this guy to the death for looking like a slob? I'm not attacking his ability, and or knowledge with a gun. I'm sorry, but if I'm going to pay this guy well into 4 figures to "train me" on how to play Audie Murphy in my living room at 2:00 AM, on how to perform that all so important 30 round mag dump, in an effort to get the bad guy hiding behind the Lazy Boy, I would simply prefer he didn't look like the Pillsbury Doughboy doing it. All that is missing is the dry, white, salted sweat stains on the under belly of the T-Shirt, which by the way should have at least some type of markings of "SWAT", or, "COMBAT MASTERS", this or that. If I showed up at a job interview looking like that, I wouldn't get hired. If he didn't, why such the sacrilege????? Bill T.

What's the point in making a post like this:

Other than to take shots at one of the best trainers around, who happens to disagree with your brand bias?

You want to take pot-shots at someone who's served in the most physically demanding unit in the Army? And who excelled at it?

You're just being ignorant and/or argumentative. Until you can do what he's done, the armchair quarterbacking just make you look that much worse.

It appears as though I'm not the first to comment on it. I doubt I'll be the last. Bill T.

Wow ... this thread got off track pretty nicely.

If you want to debate LAV's weight and ability, start a new thread. No need to clog up this one.
