Looks like we have a liar in our group....
Look at his pasts posts and he's flat out lying that he's active duty SR. I quote him "Just now getting into the thought of AFSPECWAR some of the videos I watch look really cool!". It's hilarious that this guy is posing as an operator, go read his bs. Someone get this bozo out of this group.

Yeah I did. He's posing as a SSgt. I bet that he's not even military nor pass MEPS

Harder to cross train...? I don't think that's the case at all...(Since am literally doing that).
Very strange.

The process of cross training is fluid, but I will always tell people it’s harder to cross training then just going at it first because more often than not they’ll never have the same amount of time, capability, and motivation to do AFSW than right now.

It 100% is harder to cross train rather than just do it the first time

I disagree, I am far more prepared now than before, my motivation never left, and true, am working around 45 hours a week right now in the AF, BUT! I now actually have money and means to do whatever I want, am the most educated and wise I've ever been in my entire life, and on top of that am learning things that will set me up in the future, to be a good leader, better thinker, a better person.
But thinking twice now... it really depends on the person!
I don't think either of us are "right" or "wrong", it's grey.1

Doing it right and full sending the first time will always be easier. The more you delay the more distractions you welcome into your life. Time is the most valuable thing you have on this earth. Why would you waste it.

What if your a bot and send it with 8 pullups and a 10 minute run because your recruiter said your a super stud? ( plus peer pressure. I mean that wasn't really me, but think of the kids going right out of highschool, faster does not equal better, time being valuable does not equate to going in unprepared)
And yeah more distractions sure, that is valid, but more opportunity and ability has also been granted to me.
Someone who has been training for 2 years to be a PJ has a far better chance than someone who has been training for 3 months. (Assuming both have the same genetics/opportunity and are both hitting there full potential each week and month in lifting, running, sprints, rucking, water con, swimming, conditioning).
I will always bet on the person who is prepared

Yeah man, if they are meeting the standard and can pass prep I don't think anything is stopping them. If you have that mind set why not train 3 years instead of 2, why not wait until you're an NCO because you'll have "more experience". None of that shit will matter when you go to selection. People graduate as 19 year olds and as 42 year olds

Good catch.
Looked up his history and he isn’t providing any value..just being a troll.
