800 division Info

Breakdancer/EOD · 11-08-2013, 02:28 AM

I just want to prepare for this situation. I want as much info as possible. From pt, to study requirements and what's expected, and how to go above and beyond.

You're a CTT. Are you trying for a spec war spot? Otherwise you won't be in an 800 division.

As far as 800 divisions go, everything is different from a regular bootcamp experience. You'll PT everyday, most days at least twice a day. 800 divisions are held to a higher standard than regular divisions. We got up every morning at 0330 to go to to dive mo PT, whereas regular divisions weren't waking up til reveille at 0600. Study requirements... study your chain of command, as well as your general orders, everyday as much as you can. They will make you study while you eat, which means holding your study guide up with one hand and eating with other the whole meal. And as far as "going above and beyond" goes, don't try to do that. Do what they tell you do and listen to every detail. Don't be a dirtbag

You carry around tires. Big ass monster truck tires. I guess it's supposed to prepare you for the boat carry I see dudes do here before Coronado.

EOD, SO, SB, ND, and RSS all go through the same 800 Division cirriculum. Occasionally, you'll get an 800 Division saturated with Aircrew... or SO's... but it's not intentionally divided up. You'll start training specific to your program when you arrive at your respective Prep/INDOC after graduation.

Where are you getting your info from? 800 divisions don't do that. Maybe they do in BUDS prep, but not in bootcamp.
