I love watching these grad videos. Currently in security forces and going to Chapman to train and seeing all the special warfare guys was incredible. I hope to go TACP after this contract and get my degree at the same time before TACP. I know this is late but huge congratulations!

Ahh, in another life, Post- Marine Corps and Army, I switched on over to AFSOC Special Tactics and became either a Combat Controller or TACP. Other than that, great video depicting Raptor Three Two.

Do crosstrainees for TACP go to SW Prep or do they go straight into pipeline?
@davidoffgurglins49872 жыл бұрын
Cross trainees have to go to prep also. I recommend getting comfortable in the pool.

Train for the PAST test. If you can exceed the standards of the past test and ruck 4 miles in under an hour (ideally 50 mins or less) you will be well prepared for whatever they throw at you.

100 push ups 100 sit ups 10km run then 100 squats Every day. Keep off the A/C in the summer, and keep off the heater in the winter to strengthen the mind.

Did you lift any weights before going or did you do all body weight?
@davidoffgurglins49872 жыл бұрын
I did body weight primarily. But I did include some strength training with an emphasis on maintaining durability instead of power to avoid injury. The main objective is to conquer the PAST and be good at rucking.

is tacp still going to tacp prep before the schoolhouse or are they doing a&s like cct sr and pj? and if so is the tacp a&s any different from the others?
@davidoffgurglins49872 жыл бұрын
As of right now, TACP go through swic first then straight to the schoolhouse. This is subject to change though because they have been discussing A&S tor TACPs for a few years now.

How is life at swcc and in the pipeline? Weekends off, decent sleep schedule, do you have a life outside of training after a certain part of the schoolhouse? I can’t find any info on things like this. Also, what’s the smallest guy you had graduate with y’all?
@davidoffgurglins49872 жыл бұрын
The weekends are yours in swcc but you have to remain on the compound for the entire 8 weeks. Once you get to the schoolhouse though you can leave base on your off time. You will also get plenty of rest with the exception of etd’s and field weeks. The smallest guy we had was 150 lbs but I’ve heard of dudes smaller than that making it through.

One more question. After the SW prep, is there a TACP "selection"? Can you be dropped before you begin? Also do you have any ideas how old the oldest person you went through was? I am 36, the legal cutoff is 39.
@davidoffgurglins49872 жыл бұрын
@@Robert-vv6qp I know of some individuals in their 40s who made it through. As far as selection goes there is currently no selection established in the TACP pipeline. However, there has been discussion of implementing one for a few years now so it may become a reality for you.

@davidoffgurglins49872 жыл бұрын
I first joined in 2009 to be a SERE instructor. I found out about TACP after getting washed out at SERE indoc and tried to go to the schoolhouse immediately after. Things didn’t workout and I became a cop for a little over a decade. I finally began cross training last year and finally made it happen. If my recruiter had first told me about tacp before I got in, it would definitely have been my first choice. Things didn’t turn out that way but at the end of the day I finally got what I wanted after years of preparing myself.
