It wouldn't be fun if you had a day by day schedule. Here's a quick run down:
Day Zero, obstacle course & pit PT smoke out then pass the 2mi run in ACUs
Day 1 (better have everything on the packing list)
2-3 days pathfinder phase
2-3 days sling load phase
2-3 days rappelling phase
Day 10, 12mi ruck march
Tough PT everyday to include rifle and log PT and 4,6,8mi (don't remember if 10 miler) work up rucks. It's a tough but fun school. Hawaii was a killer with the steep hills. Good luck!

The "smoke session" that I went through in 2014 sure as hell lasted longer than 30 minutes, and we still had rifle PT. But no log PT and only a six mile preparation ruck march before the 12 miler.

In 2007, the 'smoke session' on day 0 lasted about 90 minutes. And no matter how motivated you were, the smoke session lasted about 90 minutes. That morning you started with an equipment layout, ran the obstacle course, 2 mile run in ACU pants, t-shirt and running shoes within 18 minutes.

All you need to know is day 0: layout, obstacle course, 2 mile run. Day 1-9 layouts, smoke sessions and learning. Day 10:12-mile ruck march. The other things can change slightly. You'll do a 6- mile ruck march on day 1 or 2. Listen, learn, and do what sgt-air-assault says, and you'll be fine.

2LT Brian L. - I must have been lucky. I did my aaslt training at THE Sabalaski Air Assault School, and we didn't do a 4 mile. But times change. After 10+years under XVIII Airborne I'm not surprised they added that.

If you contact the school I am sure they can send you one via Email. Also three biggest areas people fail the school.

1. Packing list, means the item has to be in your ruck in pristine condition (no mud, dirt or chipped paint). If they empty your ruck onto the drill pad and a mushroom cloud of dust erupts skywards......it means you failed at this task......do not make an attempt at verbal explanation.

2. PT Test - self explanatory but they are strict on form. They run a lot in the school for PT and you might not be used to it if your in a support unit.

3. Obstacle Course - you have to pass the MANDATORY Obstacles on the Obstacle course so listen for what they are.

4. Phase II Slingloading - you have to study to pass phase II, most people presume this is like a basic course and they will be tolerant and offer unlimited chances.........SURPRISE! They don't tolerate someone that doesn't care to study.

Do they PT Test at the school now? I went though in the late 80's and the only "PT" test was the timed obstacle course and the company run. I believe that they allowed you to mess up one obstacle and it couldn't be any of the height obstacles. Falling out on the run was a No Go. After the morning smoke session, it seemed to weed out any non hackers.

Yes contact the school house.... just go to the TSAAS website... there is no pt test but the rest of the comment is accurate. we loose students mostly for Obstacle course failure/ layout failure/ sling load hands on test failure/ attention to detail (racking up points) then run or ruck failures
