Two days ago I was dropped from RIP for failing the CWST. Failing the CWST really caught me by surprise since I have swam my whole life. I'm kicking myself in the ass for not practicing ahead of time. Hopefully I will have the oppurtunity to return to RIP sometime soon. I want it more than anything.
CWST ?
What the fuck?
You cant walk across the bottom the the fucking pool 15 meters ?

If you wanted it more than anything you would have passed the fucking CWST.
It's not even fucking hard!
I hope you go to fucking leg-land.

Ranger Bell, the reason for me not passing the CWST is poor form . I had trouble moving forward. Between my initial failure and my retest I practiced for two nights and the third day we were on lockdown. I practiced with a 10 pound brick and did well . With gear on the next day it was a totally different story.....

I was a horrible HORRIBLE swimmer when I went through RIP and even I made it. Thankfully my team leader was on the USC swim team before joining the military and showed me the true nature of what its like to drown. It's all about water confidence and not panicking.
Pro tip: When I was going through RIP you were allowed to drop your rilfe for the 15m+ swim. As long as you did 15m even without your rilfe, you passed. However, if you did the full 75m you still got weak swimmer.

We had to keep our rifle above water the whole time, full webgear and though it wasn't "easy" it wasn't that hard either, u just had to concentrate on what you were doing.
Now that you've gotten a taste of what the standards are, go to your PP Station and excel in all areas, do a year, get more experience and volunteer again. Hopefully by that time you'll be squared away and will be able to reach your objective. Good luck to you soldier.
NEXT!!!
