Relevance of a psychology undergraduate degree?This will prevent PTSD?Certainly not how they selected soldiers for special forces in WW2.
 
Just remember those are the minimum fitness standards. If you’re in a selection with a bunch of firebreathers you’ll still fail if you’re only making the minimum. Also, as an officer you’ll always be expected to lead from the front in any group PT. Truth be told, the fitness isn’t that hard. It’s the mental toughness that fails most candidates.
 
It’s not that hard for most young, fit Infantry soldiers who prepares specifically for it like it’s a full time job. I know dozens personally who’ve gone through it. At the selection stage everyone has already met met the standard in multiple pre-selections. It’s always injuries or not being able to handle the mental fuckery that gets most
 
Drug testing?Heard that the JTF2 guys were large and muscular.

Some are jacked as fuck. Some are scrawny 135 pounders that can ruck their own bodyweight all day. All are fit. Check out Devon Larrat (ex-JTF2) or the kind of super human strength some of those guys have, but he’s an outlier even in special ops world.
 
I saw a vid of Laratt and some ugly Russian guy and their training methods a few weeks ago.Some big negatives,iirc,185 for curls in his arm wrestling training.
