waiting on the list and i wanted to know what AST's have to do to advance

Have you been to the coast guard channel and watched the AST 'A' school original serious? That is a bit of info.
I got these scores off a different part of this site.
"I recommend the following scores to better succeed with the training course:

- Pushups - 100+ in 2:00
- Sit-ups - 100+ in 2:00
- Pull-ups - 15-20+
- 12:00 Swim - swim 500-750yd
- 1.5 mile run - sub 9:00
- 25 yd underwater swim - complete
- 200 yd Buddy tow - complete"

Whats the buddy tow?

A buddy tow is when you have the victem and you are transporting them back to the helo

A buddy tow is when you have a survivor in a cross chest carry and you tow them through the water.

and your buddy always seems to weigh a ton and have very low body fat.
