    *she exceeded it. That's what the whole 13.5 minute thing is about. She used about 94% of her allotted time. Where is the problem with that? They say 3:00:00 she does 2:46:30 to me that seems like she did exceed it. What's the cutoff for that you consider exceeding? Sent from my GT-I9505...

    I tip my hat to you too, sir. I have yet to comprehend on what level she falls short, until they add a clause about "must look professional when enduring personal hell." Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    I would suggest you learn a little bit about a person before you make an attack at them. For all you know I ruck everyday. For all you know I could make that 12 mile with 40 pounds in 2 hours. I debated whether I would bring this up, you have no way of verifying it. But I have personally...

    The point is she made it... If she had three hours to make an extraction, she would have made it with 13 minutes to spare. It's not about whether she was ever going to be a ranger, going above and beyond what is physically expected of people. She made it, and in my perspective it doesn't matter...

    She had 13 minutes and 20 ish seconds left. At that pace she could have done an extra mile... I say everyone ... says good job. If you don't agree, then back off. If you don't back off, then agree. It's not about being an elite soldier, it's not about who's going to rescue the wounded puppy...

    Well my family are notorious call screeners... So I don't here about all the calls that come in, but I don't think that makes the opportunities these guys are presenting are any less valid. Some schools only get 2 or 3 scholarships at the national round, and some fill up their entire quota. (My...

    Even as a winner, I've received emails and calls about scholarship opportunities at other schools... So I'm not sure what it means, I would just assume that it's something that goes out to everyone. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    I mean for the application. The more fit you are the better. Everyone says you should aim for a perfect score. If you show promise, they will be more likely to request the scholarship. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    I believe that's different for every brigade. Some happen this September, others happen at different points. Either way, be prepared to do exceptionally well on the APFT. Your best bet is to ask the ROO at whatever school you plan to go to. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    What the ROO said to me, was that they have the in house board which is at the brigade level, and that comes into effect the exact same way as the other 3 year winners. No scholarships are automatic for passing the 1st year, you can go all the way to MS4 and still not have a scholarship. Some...
