    I don't know honestly, the one failed when he had to redo the step step kneel kneel because he did it incorrectly the first time. He had previously worked for Roehl a couple years ago too so he knew what to expect.

    The other failed at the lift and carry so many feet. The 30 and 70 lbs. To be honest the 70 lbs was tough, but its possible that they neglected to breath. If you don't breath your heart rate spikes.

    Neither of then were even close to being fit at all. They both were a good bit of fat without much muscle. Me on the other hand, am heavy, but muscular too.

    There are bigger guys than me that passed it that are there today. Not in my group, but still had to take the same prescreening.

    BTW, sorry for the lack of posts the last two days, been worn out and haven't had much down time in the evenings with the way the schedule works out. I'll cover everything this weekend when I have lots of time to do nothing.

    I thought the lift and carry was 30 & 60 lbs. I have been doing 40 & 70 for 48 feet and seem to be ok, although I am not all too muscular. You're right, it is ALL about your breathing. Let me know if they uped the weight. Thanks. Continued Good Luck!

    Pickens it is 30lbs, 70lbs, and if you go flatbed you also have to carry a tarp the same distance now I had to look at the packet again because I thought it was 60 myself, makes it a little worse but if you are in decent shape, I started worrying about the prescreen myself but I figured if I cut it in the military for as long as I did and I have only been out for 3 years I should be alright I am still running every day still and I am not about to not make it because of something simple like that lol.

    Pretty good group of guys tho. One guy's previous career was actually a commercial airline pilot.


    Commercial pilot to Roehl training school - He must of REALLY ####### up as a pilot.

    They said I could always switch later, so I figured I take the easier pre-screen.
