Is it true that prior service don't go to prep?
Yes, It is true. At this time Non-Prior Service (NPS) are the only ones participating in the Special Warfare Prep Course. However, you may be able to work with your recruiter and see if it is possible to Enter Active Duty a few weeks prior to your official start date. Hopefully, this would allow you to spend some time with the Cadre/Wing Developers before you begin your course.
@David Overton Crazy, but thank you for the quick reply. I know the navy gives everyone a spot at BUD/S prep, so I figured the Air Force would definitely do the same. Do you see them making this change in the future?
@brendxn Possibly but, I would recomend that you continue to maximize your time now and get in the best shape possible before you leave. Be sure to communicate with your Developer/Recruiter and attend as many PAST and Developmental sessions as you can.
I have read your post and have collected lots of information on it which is very new to me I am sure yours too. So please keep posting here. I am working for Carolina Demolition Services company which provides complete demolition services after property damage and during reconstruction. We handle demolition projects after a fire or water damage has occurred and during structural remodels and additions.
