Hey, you're welcome! I'm glad to see this strike a chord w/ someone else.
Thanks for the encouragement, it is nice to hear from another person that is in a similar situation. Do you have a "time-line" for how you plan on joining?
What does your wife think about the prospect of you joining Pararescue?
I really like the idea of going ANG/Reserve, been thinking about either Patrick AFB or the ANG unit on Long Island, active duty has a strong pull for me though as my wife and I want to raise our kids in that lifestyle (we were both AF brats).
I was an EMT for a few years and loved the work, I'm considering getting my NREMT-P while I'm prepping for Indoc so I could knock 6 months off the pipeline...
I yearn for this career as I believe it to be one of the most noble professions out there that isn't as influenced by politics like other SOF groups (if you have the chance, in the book "None Braver" by Michael Hirsch, a PJ summed it up perfectly when he explained why he chose Pararescue versus Seals, Army SF, etc...)
I really want to earn my spot amongst other elite, to have honor, to be like my role models, and most importantly be someone/something that I know my kids would be proud of.
I look forward to hearing more from you, keep us updated on your progress and let's get it man.

This solves shin splints, and can be alittle more 'specific' than a foam roller. Lacrosse balls and tennis balls are fantastic for trigger points and the bottom of the foot.
Also look up something called ROMWOD. Its a yoga source that is made for the CrossFit community, but is amazing for any one that is active. They have new workouts daily, but have an archive of hundreds of videos of various lengths from 10-60 min. Its 8$ a month, which may or may not be worth it for you.
Jeff Nichols has a video full of recovery ideas, check that.
Something that really helps me recover is just getting active with something small while outside. For me, its playing catch with my girlfriend, playing with my dog, or other small things that get you moving and outside. That small activity helps break up the lactic acid that accumulates after a long day.
The biggest and most important thing for me is a 2 in one kind of deal. Ice bath/cold shower/ pool in the morning, then hitting the sauna for 30 minutes everyday. It has been proven that cold water and saunas work wonders behind the scenes for recover, specifically when done consistently.
Hot yoga 4 times a week pretty much accomplishes most of what would be needed. Throw in some cold showers and your body will be feeling good in no time.
There are other resources like David Goggins, Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Wim Hof, Eliot Hulse, Athlean X, SEALFit, Jeff Nichols, and just random youtube videos. Just use common sense: If you got smoked with pushups and running, stretch everything involved with those movements. If something hurts when you wake up, move and get it warmed up so it can get some fresh blood in there. Also, don't just work on what hurts right this instance. Try and get as many muscles involved in whatever recovery method you are using. You don't want imbalances, and its better to hit 2,3,4, etc birds with one stone. There are a million different things you can do for recovery. Pick some things to research, find a few solid things you like and be extremely dedicated and consistent. Hooyah brother.
Dude you're miles ahead of me and I still have the 40lbs of fat to lose. You've got what it takes just focus on your swimming. When I first started swimming freestyle I couldn't make it past a lap without getting extremely tired, and it turned out that I just needed to exhale slowly underwater till i turned for a breath. I went from that to doing 500m in about a week. I would recommened reading Never Quit ,None Braver, Black Hawk Down I would recommend watching inside combat rescue, and then Rescue Warriors which actually follows a class through indoc and some of the follow on training. Get your EMT-B for a test of the medicine while you're working on your swim. I'm taking the time to get my EMT-P (paramedic) while I work on my run/swim times and remaining fat. Learn what you can where you can and put in that work. I'm sure after looking into it you'll find the answer of whether you have it in you to do it all. I know I sent you a lot but let me tell you when it's your passion, no amount of information seems like enough.

These are a bit less expensive and probably comparable. At least I hope they are because it's what I've been using.

thats the car buffer/massage tool that is supposed to be good
None Braver is phenomenal. I'd consider it up there with Blackhawk Down in terms of war journalism. He also wrote Pararescue which is a great read about an ocean rescue mission.

These two things will get you going in the right direction if you're wanting to learn something and keep busy.
If you have a mask like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087JBR1M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can exhale slightly through your nose while turning your head to surface, and that should prevent the "netty pot" happening or even water going into your throat. I usually exhale from both my mouth and nose while I'm turning my head, even through the mask. What's the worst that can happen? MORE water getting into the mask?
