What happens if you dont pass the first PFA but the rest? How intense was firefighting? And how many RPOCs did you go through?
I ship out in 11 days so I would love to get as much info as possible.

The only PFA you need to pass is the 3rd one. Firefighting was a joke imo, the one in A school was a bit better. We had 1 rpoc from beginning to end, though other divs probably had a couple fired.

I remember asking a lot of things here before I shipped out also and then found out none of it even mattered when I was actually in it. Just don't worry about it and go. If anything, just listen to instructions, and study. Don't be one of those dirtbags that still think they're the high school class clown.

Like was stated before the last one is the one that actually counts. In my opinion you don't get enough running throughout you time there so by the time the last one comes around its rougher than it should be. But you should be fine. Firefighting was pretty dull for us because it was too cold for the fires to light up so we didn't get to actually put out a fire and the classes are long a boring... stay awake. We had the same RCPO all through bootcamp but our brother div went through like 6-8 of them.

Lack of sleep for sure. Bootcamp really isn't too hard as long as you pay attention and DONT fall asleep when your not supposed to. Keep your mind sharp and you'll have an easy day
