Does anyone have any useful insight to the M-SLC conducted by the Minnesota NG at Camp Ripley?

Just got my ATRRS reservation for the course there in January of 2019, just looking for any useful info outside of the general course scope.

Plenty of time off for the gym, no morning PT. The gym at Ripley is absolutely hot garbage though.

No field time, bring plenty of cold weather gear. It was in the 60’s when I was there in July. Not sure on PT test, we did it outside but I was there in the summer.

You don’t need ASUs. Land nav is a beast, attack your points from the road. You can’t head straight through the brush from point A to B. If you do that you’ll be fine.

SSG Gym Sgt MNARNG here. Land nav course is a bitch, but it's self correcting. The terrain is just hell.

I believe it is a compressed course so you should have longer class days and have class 6 days a week. Brainerd is really nice small city. If you fish, and have the time, there are tons of lakes in the immediate area. As far as the course, it's an Army school, they are taught at the middle school level.
