Regardless of what I'm doing I'll be doing it with pride and to the best of my ability.

I understand my opportunities will be much broader had I enlisted AD but my life goals and current endeavors just don't coincide with that as I'm working my way through simultaneous careers in Law Enforcement and Military with a focus on doing my part as a Drug Task Force member. I get plenty of action on a daily basis here, the Navy is just for fun!

Thanks for the information! I feel much better now that I have a straight honest answer as to what to expect.

Any tips on how to best prepare for ACCS?
Absolutely no shame in that at all! The Reserves are an AWESOME route and I'm glad you're focused on your long term goals.

In terms of prepping for NACCS, you want to build endurance. For everything. Don't worry about hitting the gym and putting up a ton of weight because nobody cares how much you can bench; you'll be evaluated on number of push ups, number of sit ups, run time, etc. So that's where your focus should be, on pumping up those numbers. You'll be doing PT pretty much every day, so having the muscular endurance to keep up will be your biggest asset.

A good place to start would be to check out some of the Spec War workout plans. You don't need to be in SEAL shape or anything, but those work outs are designed to do exactly what you need to in terms of upping those numbers and building real endurance. If you're doing the right stuff then you're gonna smoke your competition at Candidate School.

As always I'll be around on here if you need anything!
