I am a coach, I work with individuals going into LEO and MIL and had 2 general questions that I couldn’t find in some of your articles.
How long should a prospective LEO or MIL individual train before they ship out? I have a 90% success rate in training individuals who either failed originally, or had generally low scores, getting them to pass with good to excellent scores. I ask you this question as you guys have seen a broader trend, and this would help refine our gyms pipeline for the tactical category.
I have an individual who is training for AFSPECWAR, I recommended your STO/CRO program. I have all of the tools, and time to train with this individual to ensure that injury prevention, training, and recovery are all monitored. How many times should an individual run this program before their report date? I figure that 1-2 rotations is sufficient for adaptation, however I do not want to run him into the ground before he ships out.
Thank you for your guidance, and I look forward to your response.

I just started a job as a corrections officer and plan to start training to make it on the SRT at my prison. I am hoping after that to continue to potentially join the S.T.A.R. team. I have to be off probation which is a year away. I have just been doing my own workouts at the gym. Thanks for getting back to me. I have been asking members of these teams and they just keep telling me it is a mile obstacle course. Has activities such as a dummy drag and performing tasks in a gas mask. Not sure if that helps at all. Which plan would you recommend? I have not been running much but I am willing to do what I have to achieve my goal. Thanks for any information you can provide.

I am training to test for Homeland Security Investigations and I purchased your plan to help me do so. So far I am liking the program as I am 3 days into it. My only question thus far is if there is a set amount of time that I should be resting between exercises. I noticed most exercises note a resting time between rounds for that exercise, but once each one is finished I am unsure how long to rest before beginning the next. I hope you can help. I appreciate anything you have to offer. Thank you.

I’m 36 years old and a 17 year Army service member. I’ve spent the first 12 years as an Infantryman and now I’m an Aviator. I’m 165 lbs and 5’8” so I’m in accordance with your recommend heigh/weight charts. My BF% is 18.1% based on Bodpod results from yesterday. In reality I would consider myself “skinny fat” based on those results. However, I’m a runner at my core and find fulfillment in endurance exercises (specifically running). With that said, my strength is below your programming markers pretty significantly. I feel pretty weak. Would you recommend that I follow a hypertrophy training program for one or two cycles or that I stick to one of your strength focused programs that are more holistic? My over-arching goal for fitness at this point in my life is general health and longevity since my job is not very physically demanding. Of course there is an physical aesthetics consideration to my goal as well but it’s not paramount. Thanks for taking the time to read and follow up.

QUESTION
I’m a relatively fit guy (talking I can hack a 35 pound pack on some hills for a couple miles in a hunting trip and can run for at least a mile) with some prior military service and I’m jumping back into the Army as a Chaplain. Would the OCS V2 workout or an ACFT plan work better for me? I’m 5’ 10’ and 186 lbs and I haven’t worked out in a formal training plan for over 2 years. It’d be good if the plan lost me some weight as well.
My only constraint is time. If I get up at 5am I have about a little over an hour and forty minutes to work out before I have to be at work. Suggestions?
