Negativity and a bad attitude is a disease, and to be honest with you, when you think negatively and you become a victim, it's the path of least resistance. It is the easiest thing to do. The hard thing is to wake up and take accountability for what's going on and say “I'm going to apply a positive mindset”, “I’m going to take advantage of everything that I have in my life,” “I’m gonna make the best with what I got.” Looking at the military training, that was a refreshing feeling to be like “if he can handle it, I can handle it. If he’s dealing with it, doesn’t mean he's not feeling anything different than I am.” So who am I to get up? Why am I different than him? That kind of gives you confidence in the ability to say, “this might suck, but we're gonna do it together.” What you realize after being through so many experiences is that every action you take affect somebody else. It has a ripple effect through your family, through your friends, through the world, and when you do enough stuff over time you realize how impactful it/you can be as a person. So how could I stop now with the abilities that I have? How could I give that up and stop a day when I know the impact that I can have?
I’m glad these videos are available, for youth looking for direction into Air Force SpecWar. Info is dated but, still many golden nuggets here for sure! Miss seeing Brian, on Ones Ready podcast.
I had a question that I was hoping might be answered in an upcoming video or if it's in what of your previous videos if you could point me to it. I currently in the AFROTC program and want to go CRO/STO. I am preparing based off your videos and other training programs but I wanted some insight on the review board and what the standards they looked for were for that (GPA, leadership, PFA score, etc.) Any and all information is appreciated!
Great job on the website, lots of high quality information. With all the new changes discussed in your videos, its a little confusing finding current information. Will you update the website as the changes happen?
Indoc is legendary. Doing away with it is nothing but a bad decision. These clowns at the brass level thought they'd lower attrition rates by canceling indoc instead they created the hardest 4 weeks in the military. Nonetheless its a bad decision to cancel it. I wonder if at least a single decision made at the brass level over the last 10 years has raised efficiency or combat effectiveness or reduced accidents.
vocalobserver i totally agree! Bad decision to cancel it. What difference is having a really hard 4 week course. We all want to go through indoc the way its been :/. Legendary! Like u mentioned. I hope this new selection is good and worth it.

That's a great point. I will try to get it updated soon, my time has just been limited lately. Thanks for the input.
Brian, I would also love to hear about the changes as they pertain to CRO candidates. I'll do my own digging too. Thank you!@@HowToBeAPJ
Thank you Brian for the information!
I'm trying to find more information on CRO's across the internet, and not having any luck. It seems to be pretty limited.
A great video with great content!

Joseph H honestly I’d rather it be 4 weeks the time and monotony is what kills me I’d rather have 4 weeks of hell than months of something easy
