Apply for citizenship through service. Get permission from your MoD or get rid of your Citizenship. Then spend a year in the military and enlist in the CG afterwards.

Are they not wearing wetsuits anymore during pool training. When I went through AST A school we wore the shorty wetsuits which made everything way more difficult? Just curious if they changed that. That Pool is a blast to train in though, loved my time there.

Yea you don’t wear the shorties no more. And school is 6 months instead of the 18 weeks. Split into 3 phases

Quick question I’m really interested in becoming an AST I feel that is my calling. Would doing CrossFit then go to the pool for more training for about an hour everyday be a good system to get ready for AST A school?

I recommend more work. I'm interested in going in the same direction. I have buddies that have been through it and they say it's the toughest training in the military. So I personally recommend doing a ton more like running and a bunch of leg and arm workouts along with stamina workouts and pool exercises.

Double days and more training will definitely show your body, mainly your CNS, how to adapt to the increased workload. But be careful, don’t overdo it before even going to school. 12 weeks before school I didn’t do anything gnarly in the gym. Just maintained where I was and focused on mobility and flexibility.

How do you put the goggles on underwater?
@mrjwil2012
3 жыл бұрын
You just put them on with both hands. Or one hand if you’re talented. Then you “clear” your mask by blowing air out of your nose and slightly tilting the mask upward from the bottom of the mask.

Technically, yes. But you still have to get qualified as a aircrew member and then get qualified as a rescue swimmer to operate with the helicopter and other rescue devices.
