How do people pass the SOF selection and training tips.

Can anybody share on how to train and prepare for the SOF selection.
I saw SOF guys a few times before. They went to my camp for some exercise, a small group of them only. But they are so well build and damn big size.
I'm not really that fit and I am considered a dawrf compared to them.
But I hope to go for the selection. Can anybody tells me what do I need to train? How to prepare? -
SOF do not look for transexuals.

only 1 word... endure

Hmm besides being fit, I think you need to clear a medical checkup at MMI for SOF selection. It's usually handled by your medical centre.

Actually why are they so well built and damn big size?Originally posted by LaserGod:Can anybody share on how to train and prepare for the SOF selection.

Size has no direct relation with endurance, marksmanship, agility, intelligence, reaction time, fieldcraft etc .. all important traits for a special operations trooper.
It is like they spend their time lifting weights? So free ah .. I thought they should spend the time honing their precision shooting skills. -
They don't come to my unit to hold recruitment talk leh...Originally posted by Xcert:application form comes free when U attend their recruitment talk...
How to know more abt them, get the application form or know the preparatory programmes? -
a brief highlights on what they actually do in SOF. they run like no1's business along changi beach, they do physical training like no1's business in CDO camp. Their chin ups have many pattern 1 and their ippt standard of chinups is very very different from our usual chin ups. On and off they will carry the rubber boat and run from in camp compounds to outside of the camp and usually wun come back for the next 2-3 hours. the SOFs i've seen are all bulky in size. they have a very very very very nice armskote which i dreamt of working in when i was in CDO camp. once u are an SOF member, ppl in CDO camp will see u as some1 much superior than they are.
i hardly see any lobo time for them except for meal times. and yes u have to be a regular to join them.
If u are realli interested to go for the selection and wana know how's the trial like. Think of 5xCDO selection test. its 5 times harder. and of cos every yr like the divers and CDOs and i think the guards too, the SOF will have 1 hell week, and their hell week is worse than hell. Mental preparations is a must to have + a very good body endurance.
Good luck if u are going. -

My bother in law is a current SOF member....He says no more Hell week.Or at least it's not called that.They change the name to like graduation week or something.Sure u still get the same hell but they wont drop u out so easily anymore.The idea is that they spend so much time and money on you only for you to quit or drop out in the last week,not worth it hah.Originally posted by boredandsleepy:a brief highlights on what they actually do in SOF. they run like no1's business along changi beach, they do physical training like no1's business in CDO camp.

But yea i admit the training he does is quite mad.Heck they sometimes train running with like a 30kg or 40kg ruck.He does an insane amt of push ups and chin ups and his SOC timing is 7mins flat.....:S
