Second question, if you wash out, can you go again? Is it different for RASP 1 and RASP 2?

Your question infers a certainty to passing RASP once you get there.

I don't understand how you think these apply to SFAS but not RASP? Do you think our selection process is all unicorns and fucking rainbows or something?

I'll be generous and answer your second question even though you're too damn lazy to look this shit up. Of course you can go back if you fail out. There's nothing wrong with failure. It's how men become great and it builds character. No one is batting 1000 at life, at least no one doing anything worth doing. If you quit however, well, fuck you, your services are no longer required.

About spot on. It's perhaps unique to the course. You fail, no one else to blame.
