i recently got my name on the a school list, got my syllabus and started to look it over. Basically Im wondering if upon reporting to the airman program you need to be able to do all the drills in the weeks 1-8 parts. I know it would be helpfull, but in the event you cannot do some right off the bat if youd be booted. I read on another thread that someones buddies quit after a pool day filled with underwater drills, and i didnt know if they willingly quit or if they showed up, couldnt do it, and were sent along without getting time to practice and hopefully improve. Thanks

I'm willing to bet that person couldn't swim. Most people can't or aren't good swimmers when they get to the AN program. My advice, get to a pool and swim laps, most likely your local YMCA, also get yourself in good cardio shape. Good luck
Technically when you get to the An program you do not have to be able to pass anything. You will be given the PT in test, if you fail you have 1 month to perform the pt intest.
If you are in the pool and doing a drill that you are having a hard time with but it is not a testable item, they cannot just up and fire you. You will get what is called a MARs, basically a paper that documents the incident. get a enough MARs the staff can initate a board for Disenrollment. A board consists of three people....folks out of rate. They hear your story and the staff memembers recommending disenrollment. Then they make a decsion. But it is tough if you have not failed a testable item. If you fail testable items, that is much easier for you to get disenrolled.
Jake, I will tell you this. Quit thinking about how people are getting disenrolled, or are failing. Starting thinking about how you are going to succeed. how people fail is irrelevant to how people graduate school.

Anyone know where I can get a copy of the syllabus, or a list of drills that are required? When I train in the pool, I'd like to have an idea of the goals I should be shooting for.
