yes u must swim qual 1. yes they went harder on me because they knew i was a recon contract and they were all POGs so of course they were recon haters. they made me squad leader the entire time in boot camp until one of the last weeks and then fired me because i scratched my nose haha. and no you will not take an indoc, they don't do that anymore at SOI.

yeah well if you cant get a first class swim qual you will fail miserably at BRC anyways. So if you can't pass a swim qual 1 then dont even try.

DomForce, sounds as if you are doing well. Best of luck in your training. I had the privilege of serving in Bn Recon and Force over a ten year period and have always remembered the comradrie and lovalty among these fine Marines. Serve proud.

They're going to teach you technique in MART and throughout the first phase of BRC and you'll be spending enough time at the pool (every day in MART) that, as long as you stick with it and put out, you'll have more than enough stamina and you're technique will be good enough to breeze through whatever water events they throw at you.

Oh and as for swim quals: Everyone in my BRC class came out with Q, if you didn't make the qual you were dropped.

I picked my avionics MOS because it lines up with my college major. However.. I'm starting to think I want to do something else that I'll enjoy instead of trying to make my life revolve around college. Recon has been heavy on my mind lately.. checked with my recruiter and the reserve unit I'd be assigned to has 3 or 4 recon jobs available. I'm seriously considering asking if I can switch.. I've been told my my recruiter than I can. Any sort of 2 cents you could offer me on this and picking 0321?

on another note, I think I just watched your BRC video on youtube, Domforce. Looks like some pretty fun stuff.
