Im in the DEP for AF and i plan on cross training in 3 years into CCT. Can somebody inform me on the pre-selection phase that is said to take place in September?

There is some info posted on the specialtactics.com forums. It is the semi-official recuiting weebpage and forums for CTT/PJ. I'm sure much more info will be available by the time you become eligible to submit a retraining application.

Why are you waiting for 3 years to cross train? Why not go straight to CCT right now?

Im not ready physically. Especially on my swim. Did ok on every part of my PAST but the swim. I want to train enough to the point where I can exceed the minimums. Then when I do cross-train Ill have three years worth of training under my belt.

I think SN was saying that being a TACP/ROMAD would give you a leg-up in training and you'll probably get exposure to the STS before you crosstrain. Just a thought... I would have done it that way if I had to go back in time.

TACP NEVER crossed my mind to be honest. But I feel as long as I got my foot in the door I'll be ok to train. Im still weighing CCT and PJ though. But do you think 3 years will be enough time to get myself together?

Well, for starters how exactly did you do on the past? 3 years should be plenty of time to get ready, fall back out of shape, and get back into it x 3. I don't know your personal situation, but if it were me I'd wait till I was ready and come in GTEP. Once upon I time, I dropped a xtrain package thinking I would have a couple months (based off time I dropped vs posted class dates) to train up. I've always maintained a fitness standard so I figured 1-2 months NBD. I got a phone call shortly after inquiring if I was interested to jump on the next thing smoking (in 2 wks). I haven't looked back ever since.
