Battlefield Airman Prep is a 8 week course designed to help you succeed at whatever BA course you are signed up for. The unit has recruited coaches from all over the country to help you succeed. I would not count on this program to get you up to standards though.
This development course is no longer implemented at Indoc. What is the pass rate for the PJ pipeline after Indoc? See my in depth response here. Yes, but it will be replaced with another course. The course is not yet solidified, as I get more details I will release more information. If you would like more information, watch my interview with the Indoc Commandant about the new changes here. Washout means you are no longer in the course, to warrant this you need to fail two consecutive progress checks, quit, or be medically eliminated.
For all of these options you will have an interview with the Commandant of the schoolhouse. If you SIE of med elim you will most likely be reclassed and in rare cases be able to cross over to another Battlefield Airman career field. After Basic Training you can expect to go straight into the Battlefield Airman Prep Program which is 8 weeks long, then you go into the Development course which is 2 weeks long.
After, you will enter the pipeline and schools are variable. What happens if I'm already a licensed Paramedic? Can I crosstrain to PJ after corrective eye surgery? One day during my tech training a thought occurred to me, what good does all this self-pity and anger do for me and how does it help me. I saved the question for later and when I had some time I began to think on it. I finally came to the conclusion that it does, in fact, do absolutely nothing for me. I was in the middle of being trained for my next job as a crew chief with a time limit of 18 months before I could try again and I was wasting time putting my anguish in place of my ultimate goal which was and still is to become a Pararescue Jumper.
While this gave me inspiration and indeed hopes for the future I still was dealing with these emotions which served as road blocks.
I decided to call and tell a friend of mine what I was going through and the gap between this verse and my current situation. She proceeded to tell me that many times the problem lies in self unforgiveness and unforgiveness towards the people who had hurt me and helped lead me in prayer to forgive myself.
Having had these burdens lifted from my spirit I soon discovered that if I wanted them to stay gone I had to fight the battle in my mind that I am still worthy to achieve my dream. Over the past year I have learned many things. I have experienced much in a short time and hope that my story can help those of you who have had their hopes and dreams dashed and broken.
I have learned that no matter the circumstance there is always hope for the future. I have built my way of life on the principles set down by God for a better life. I believe that the keys to success have been written down in the Bible for everyone to have. I believe that the short version of those keys to success and achieving any goal you hold dear is this, It is ok to be in pain, it is ok to get overwhelmed and even cry, it is ok to ask for help, it is even ok to fall flat on your face because these things are a quality of being human.
It is not, however, acceptable to whine, it is not acceptable to complain, it is not acceptable to blame someone else for your situation, it is not acceptable to try and dodge your responsibilities whatever they may be because you have chosen to go that road and it is most certainly never acceptable to quit on yourself or those around you. As for me, I will go back and try again. I will continue to try again until I either make it or destroy my body to the point they will not accept me.
I hope they consider making it harder after I go through with a smile on my face. To those of you who are in the same position I hope the best for you and success in your future endeavor. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back. Your email address will not be published. Everyone who does is young, in shape, and signs over their life to Uncle Sam just for the chance. Who would quit?
In fact, it looks like the opposite of what you think Indoc should look like: mud pits, endless push-ups, carrying Zodiac boats on your head. All of that, and so gloriously much more, is part of every day at Indoc.
But after a full day of traditional training, your class jumps on a bus and heads to The Pool on what is a very quiet bus ride. There, as instructors scan for errors or signs of fear, you must:.
The Pool has other events, like treading water and swimming with weights. But, while difficult, those events have a vital difference: You can breathe. Not breathing is unique torture. Cells throughout your body, and particularly in your muscles, begin acting anaerobically, eating up sugar without oxygen, producing both lactic acid and pain.
But even if you can do wind sprints and burpees all day burning sugar and oxygen, The Pool short circuits your defenses in about 5 seconds.
As your arms and legs start to go numb, the large autonomous muscles in your diaphragm, which let a normal person breathe 25, times per day without ever thinking about it, start to freak out with increasingly hard, uncoordinated contractions. Those spasms create inadvertent gulping noises. All you have left is your mind. You have a split-second to decide: do you want to be a PJ more than you want to breathe?
Instincts locked deep in your brain suddenly rush to the surface and you must.
