<p>When Bullet was with 82nd, he can tell you as an officer or an enlisted member they are gone alot. They also will leave in a moments notice. It is an elite group, and thei physical requirements are intense…it is not uncommon for them to go for a ruck run…this is when they put 70lbs on their back and run several miles, they also will swim in their boots. This is not done once in a blue moon, but every week…they have madatory PT at 5:30 am. These are the quietest guys in the world, but you wouldn’t want to tick them off. Many guys try to get in for several yrs, and one think they are required to do is pass a different PT test. </p>
<p>I am with ds52262, it is an all in or a nothing scenario. You can definetly do it, but when you get into the AFA, you will need to work out even more than the mandatory PT. You will need to practice the PJ PT for the 4 yrs that you are there.</p>
<p>ds is also correct going reserves or ANG is good for some people, but typically it is for the people who don’t want to live AF 24/7 and that doesn’t seem to be you. He is also correct in stating that basically your life will not change, except for a few days a yr.</p>
