Yeah, what the hell? Why the fuck did they make it longer? There’s not even any more training built in that we didn’t have two years ago. CST 19 cadets are fucked. We did all of the same training requirements in 29 days. At no point did I think we were lacking for time.

The differences I’m seeing here are 2-on-2 fights instead of 1-on-1. Someone asked GEN Hughes at the end why we didn’t do company sized fights and he said that anything bigger than a 1-on-1 would be “too complex” (his words). What in the actual hell is going on at USACC where they decided that the past iterations of CSTs weren’t “intense” enough? Maybe it’s different and they actually made it hard but then again I paced six individuals three times on three different PT tests at CST so what the fuck do I know.
