Advice
I’m about one year away from graduating college and I’m seriously considering the Air Force route, specifically going to OTS and eventually trying for Pararescue. I’m from San Antonio and have been a competitive swimmer my entire life, so I’m very comfortable in the water. I also do calisthenics regularly and can do a decent amount of pull-ups, but my running is definitely subpar and I have absolutely zero rucking experience.
Right now I’m basically at square one when it comes to military knowledge and understanding the process. I’m trying to figure out if the OTS → selection path is even realistic for someone in my position and what I should be focusing on now to prepare.
For those with experience, what advice would you give someone starting from scratch? What should I prioritize physically, mentally, and professionally over the next year?
