FAQs
Will this help me prepare for bootcamp or a first responder academy?
YES! With years of experience training soldiers, law enforcement officers, and fire fighters. I know what it takes for you to succeed in your tactical environment. If you are someone who wants to make sure that you are over prepared for the training you are going through this program is for you.
I am getting ready for a specialty school is this plan intense enough
Yes, we are programming to get people to where they feel physically ready to succeed through any speciality school or special forces selection process. If you are preparing for a selection based SOF school then message me so I can provide you with "BONUS" work to better prepare you for success.
I don't have some of the equipment for this weeks programming
If this is something that you find happens to you during a week of programming, message me through the app and I will give you scaling options to get the same stimulus as everyone else. Usually, I will already have notes up for an alternate option.
