I had the same problem. I located each post, and copy and pasted it on to a
Word file. Now I've done the same on this post. BTW, this bootcamp is the shit.
Formhandle should really have this posted up somewhere. GOod job Form.


WEEK 1

I am starting something new with you guys, particularly the new guys around
here and the guys who have yet to allow this site to make a significant
difference in their lives.

And you will probably hate me for it.

But by the time it's over, you will be new men. I'm going to take all of you
piles of cookie dough and turn you into PUAs cut from mahogany, carved into the
masters of your fate, the kings of your destiny. And I will be your drill
sergeant along the way.

The rules for this are simple: Do what I say without question. Don't even
reply to this post or other bootcamp posts by me. In fact, if you reply it
means you didn't read this sentence and I will delete such a reply... but not
before lambasting you publicly for it, for everyone to see. In your *MIND*,
your replies to me from now on in regards to these bootcamp directives in the
coming weeks will be "Sir, yes sir." If you're already a "PUA cut from wood",
there are still things you can apply from the bootcamp to improve your game.
For those guys who choose not to be involved, I'll assume you're a pussy...
just nobody will ever know that except for you (HAHA, pussy-boy!). The
deafening silence for the non-replies to the bootcamp will be testimony to the
fact that guys are going out there and applying the orders without question, on
their way to ultimate control over their game.

I may have surprise "inspections" to make sure you wads of cookie dough are
taking care of your shit. Your replies to me in that regard will be in the
form of "Sir, yes sir" or "Sir, no sir" or straight answers to my direct
questions. If, in the middle of bootcamp, you can't take it anymore and need
to drop out, you must do so publicly. You must make a public request to drop
out. This, of course, is not possible to force. You can just whimper away in
silence with the private personal knowledge that you're a complete wuss. Or,
you can be a man and let the guys here, and me, know you want to drop out so
that you can be subjected to an appropriate amount of ass-kicking to get you
back on track. Are you listening to me, dough boy??

There is ONE "at ease" allowance I will provide in order for people to discuss
their involvement and actions taken in regards to this call to action. In the
field reports board, I will post ONE message in sync with each week of
bootcamp, probably titled "BOOTCAMP REPORTS, WEEK X" and that is where you can
discuss your actions and progress. You can also, of course, post your field
reports and any new tactics/techniques you learn along the way. But that is
IT. Bootcamp is not to be DISCUSSED, it is to be FOLLOWED.

New bootcamp orders will be posted on Wednesdays. Total bootcamp weeks will be
16. You will not know what the next bootcamp week will involve until that
week's Wednesday post.

The precise rules are, when applying bootcamp in the real world:

#1 - The first rule of bootcamp is, you do not talk about bootcamp.
#2 - The second rule of bootcamp is, you DO NOT talk about bootcamp.
#3 - If something you do in regards to bootcamp is actually hurting someone
else, or you, then you're not following orders properly and you should STOP and
re-read the actual orders for that week.
#4 - Each person is responsible for his own bootcamp.
#5 - One bootcamp order or directive per week, only assigned by me. No
elaborations from others, no "guessing" what I might mean. Just read the
orders and apply them.
#6 - No "cheating" when going through bootcamp - because the only one that will
be being cheated will be you.
#7 - You will apply bootcamp as long as you need to, for that week, until the
order is fulfilled.
#8 - If this is your first week on Fast Seduction 101 or mASF, you HAVE TO go
through bootcamp. If you missed previous bootcamp weeks, start from the first
week (you can find old posts in the archive) and crunch each week's orders into
1-3 days until you catch up to the current week.
#9 - If you don't understand a certain week's bootcamp order(s), don't
over-analyze it. Take it at face value. This is not complicated stuff. Any
questions you have in regard to specific tactics or methods, whenever they come
up, are fully answered on the site.

AM I GETTING THROUGH TO YOU?!?

Now, onto this week's bootcamp...

For this week, and the next week, we will focus on improving your mental
environment. This week, specifically, your orders are as follows:

You are to remove all forms of AFC societal influence from your environment
unless, for some reason, it would keep you from doing your job or impact your
livelihood negatively or, ironically, keep you from getting laid at that
moment. This would include, no more listening to ANY songs which contain more
than 1 AFC line and aren't in some way motivationally positive. Pack those AFC
CDs away, turn off VH1. If you are driving in your car and an AFC song comes
on, turn the station. If any station you've got pre-programmed plays
predominantly AFC music, assign a different station to that button. If you're
riding in someone else's car, ask them to turn the station. If they refuse,
don't drive with that person for at least a week. Take the damn bus if you
have to. Don't visit web sites with AFC overtones. Don't watch TV shows or
movies which you KNOW have AFC storylines. That pretty much covers most
American-made movies, but who cares. Most of it is crap anyway. Also, you are
to stop "hanging out" with your AFC pals for those times you KNOW there will be
no HBs around during such a hang out session. I personally refer to these
kinds of sessions as "butt fucking fests", because the only opportunity in
those situations to get your noodle wet is to fuck one of your AFC friends in
the ass. LOL. In place of those sessions, go out or at least find a way to do
something that a PUA would do. If you catch yourself in any of these
situations, get yourself OUT of it ASAP.

Now, get to it!

WEEK 2

of FS BOOTCAMP is now in progress. For a re-hash of the premise, in
case you are new to this, read the first week's bootcamp post:

http://fastseduction.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?action=retrieve&grp=3&mn=104262618154971

The same rules will apply to this and future bootcamp reports, assignments, and
posts as was outlined in the original bootcamp post. No replies to my bootcamp
posts in the "general" board (that means: DON'T reply to this post) and an
encouragement of active recruits to report their bootcamp experiences/results
in the "field reports" board in both bootcamp threads initiated by me (titled
"BOOTCAMP REPORTS, WEEK X") and, of course, regular field report threads. If a
new field report thread is specific to a bootcamp assignment, the subject
heading will begin with [BC]FR.

From time to time, punishment assignments will likely be assigned to recruits
who don't properly follow orders or chain of command. Other recruits are
welcome to take on such punishments as a means to immerse themselves further
into the process, and progress their PU skills.

Now, onto this week's assignment: Operation Removal of Attachments.

There are 2 general parts to this assignment. One is mental, the other
requires action. Further, there will be a specific peripheral assignment which
must be done at least once any time before next Wednesday, at the most
convenient time and place for you.

This week, you must get rid of your mental baggage & non-tangible issues
holding you back from getting to the next level of your PU game. For guys who
are just beginning (rAFC), this probably means COMPLETELY removing any vestiges
of your most recent one-itis-If you have pictures, note, or any other items
related to this chick, chuck them. If you have a hard time actually throwing
that stuff away, just freakin' mail it to me with a note asking me to "keep
this stuff safe". If you fail in your assignment, I will mail the shit back to
you sometime in the middle of bootcamp and kick your ass verbally in an
attached letter for being such a dough-boy pussy. Are you understanding
this?!? If you have mental baggage over a recent one-itis-you are to STOP
thinking about her or even speaking of her to anyone. This is going to be a
complete 100% NEXT. If you're currently in the middle of dealing with
one-itis-END IT NOW and follow the assignment, you damn pussy. To FURTHER
cleanse yourself from this limiting crap, you are to pick the one PLACE within
a few miles of anywhere you'll be in the next week that would remind you of the
chick. You are to visit that place and PU a completely new chick there. Do
your best. If you are a complete newbie, this might mean just saying "hi" to a
chick and finding a way to have a small conversation. If you've got some
skills, it means a contact close. If you have a lot of skill, run your best
methodical structure to get the chick HIGHLY interested and take it as far as
you can go. For the guys who are too damn afraid to do this, you MUST get over
it. If you've been on this site for even just a few days, and this is the
first time in your life you've ever been challenged in this way, there is
PLENTY of material on this site to help you with the assignment in the next 6-7
days. Oh, and for the guys who don't feel they need to do the one-itis-because
they are already over such a mental hurdle, I don't want to hear it, because
you still MUST go to the location that reminds you of your most recent one-itis-and still initiate a PU there. If you've NEVER had one-itis-for a chick, then
you're probably not a heterosexual male over the age of 12 so what the hell are
you doing on this site? That, or you're MrSex4uNYC on steroids.

To further elaborate on this, if you're currently "working on" a chick who
you've known for a while and not getting through to her yet, even if you have a
ton of skills and are banging other chicks, be honest to yourself and figure
out if you're wasting your time or not. If she's already LJBF'd you or it
FEELS like that, NEXT her completely, at least for the next 2 weeks. Force her
to have to contact YOU in order for you to pay attention to her. Even then,
don't immediately give up your time to her. By doing so, you are holding
yourself back from other chicks that may be significantly more interested in
you if you just went out and FOUND them.

In order to get through this kind of attachment, you must avoid all forms of
supplication. You must take a hold of your reality, make up rules for the
minimum you are willing to accept from chicks, and stick to those rules. You
might occasionally get shit for it. So what. In the long haul, you are doing
this to improve your life.

AM I GETTING THROUGH TO YOU?!?

Now, in addition to this, you must also figure out what your other most
significant mental block is which holds you back from getting to the "next
level" of your game. If you're a rAFC, the "next level" might be number
closing a chick you've never met before. Figure out what has kept you from
that, whether tangible or mental, and GET PAST IT. Since I don't know many of
you personally, I can't guess at what your significant blocks are or what it
will take to get past them. But I'm asking you to DO YOUR BEST this week to
figure out a way and do it. Some guys might find it helpful to posts a "Style"
style SP ("Sticking Point") post on General to get feedback from other guys.
However, please don't post it unless you're sure it is your most significant
block beyond some kind of one-itis-issue. Take a day or 2 if you must spend
time trying to figure that out. If you're getting good success with contact
closing and following through with chicks, the "next level" for you might be
PUing a certain KIND of chick. Figure out what the most significant thing is
that is holding you back (it's likely to be mental) and find a way to get past
it. I *DO NOT* want you guys to start thinking "My significant block is that I
want a cool car... if I just had a cool car, then I'd rock in PU." That is
BULLSHIT and only leads to the REAL mental block which is that you feel you
need something expensive which you can "show off". Keep asking yourself
questions about your limiting beliefs until you find out what the block really
is and address it directly.

Think of these attachment removals as a way to set yourself free. Last week,
you became aware of all the crappy societal influences which cause your mind to
get soft in an AFC way, even without your conscious consent. You learned that
anything that is allowed to enter the subconscious unhindered is going to be
accepted by the subconscious as reality. That is why that assignment was given
first and why you are asked to continue being alert to unwanted influences,
because this attachment removal assignment would be significantly harder if you
had a constant flow of messages into to your subconscious in conflict with what
it takes to be able to harden up and detach yourself from your anchors. If
you've ever seen the movie Cast Away with Tom Hanks, you'll remember the scene
where he finally found a way off the island and, as he's drifting away on his
makeshift raft, he looks back at the island he was stuck on for 4 years as if
he was going to MISS it, even though he went through hell on it. But, you KNEW
that HE knew he had to let it go because there was something better out there
for him that he had to reach... the UNKOWN was better than letting anything
hold him back, as long as he had control over the his own destiny, no matter
what the outcome, that was better than what he was leaving behind.

Finally, the specific assignment:

I presume you all, at some time during the course of a normal week, go to a
bank, a grocery store, train station, or mall. You are to PU a chick in one of
those environments at least once... don't worry about the outcome. For the
newbies who are now thinking "Oh MY God... what is he asking of me?!", don't
worry, I'll give you an outline of the way I want the PU to be pulled off.
First, you must find a chick that you actually would WANT to talk to - don't
pick some dirty hosebag just because you don't give a shit what she might say,
pick a chick that makes you go "Yeah, I would like to talk to her." Then,
before you actually approach, pick something about her (the way she's dressed,
her nice neck, the length of her hair, ANYTHING that you actually honestly can
compliment her on). Now, here's the trick... don't just run up to her in a
hurry and start talking to her from behind in a mumble then walk away. Rather,
go up to her in a normal pace, make sure she sees you come by near her... smile
if you think you need to disarm a bit, THEN say the compliment. For example,
"Hi, I just wanted to say I really like your scarf." or "You're butterfly
tattoo is really cute." or "Your hair is amazing... I love it when girls keep
their hair very long like that." Then just wait a second or so to let her
respond. Most of the time, she'll just say "Thank you" in a nice way. After
that, just hold out your hand and smile and say "I'm X" (note: for the total
morons out there, replace X with your name). From there, I don't give a flying
fuck what you do or how you proceed. Just do this and get a feel for what it's
like. For the guys who this is old hat for, just do the assignment anyway,
nothing to lose.

OK, that's it. Now, get to it, men.

WEEK 3

Alright recruits, onto this Week's assignment.

Start a PU journal & begin to fill it. IF you can afford it, go to Staples or
another office supply store and buy a nice leather or pseudo-leather journal
(meaning, it should look and feel important to you - not just some legal
writing pad with tear-away paper). You can either choose one that's pre-dated
(like an appointment book with LOTS of space for writing) or, my own
preference, one that is all blank with just ruled lines (I recently got the
most expensive one at Staples - $19.99, but they had others that were just
$8-9). If you can't afford it, just make use of what you can afford. If you
tell me you can't afford a $1.99 legal pad and a bic pen, I'm going to kick
your ass. From this day forward, you are to reserve at least 1 page in the
journal to document your day's PU activities, if any. If you run out of space
while writing up a day's activities on just one page, keep writing onto more
pages until you're done. Then skip to the very next page for the next calendar
day. If you didn't do any PU activity on a certain day, just write "I did not
do any PUs today." for that page and move to the next page for the next
calendar day. Meaning, days you did not PU should be blank pages except for one
line at the top or middle: "I did not do any PUs today." You don’t have to
actually write in it every day, but you do have to write your day-to-day PU
activities into it when you do find time. You MUST keep up-to-date with it at
least once a week or you'll start to forget useful stuff you've done.

Be sure to keep this journal SAFE from prying eyes... meaning, don't leave it
out on your coffee table when you've got an HB over your place, unless you have
both the balls & intelligence in dealing with possible repercussions.

The journal sub-assignment, to get you started, is to go to the "You Are New"
section of Fast Seduction (fastseduction.com/youarenew) and figure out WHERE
you are in the stages of learning that is related to FIELD EXPERIENCE (not just
involvement with this site). Then shift yourself up a notch and challenge
yourself to expand your experience and skills into the next stage. Focus on
doing PU activities that help your expansion or understanding to the next stage
- through ACTION, not just study. Treat the journal as your self-study and
utilize TFM/resources for understanding & ideas. But do the action that will
give you points to actually study.

Finally, this week's SPECIFIC assignment:

This will be the LAST "compliment"-centered assignment (I can already here the
sighs of relief). You only need to do it ONCE this week. If you attempt it but
don't follow through with it the way it is described here, that doesn't count.
You can’t modify it with the "Elvis" opener and you can’t switch to Cocky &
Funny
(or whatever) until your interaction with the chick has gone PAST
fulfilling the assignment. Once you get through the assignment properly at
least ONCE this week, you can do whatever kinds of PU you are most comfortable
with the rest of the week.

Same as last week, get yourself in an environment that is likely to have chicks
in it. The more chicks, the better. Also, the higher caliber chicks, the
better. HOWEVER, this assignment is NOT to be done in bars, clubs, or parties.
Then, same as last week, find a chick in that environment that you REALLY want
to approach, not just any chick. One that if you had your choice among chicks
to interact with in that environment, you would choose HER. This will probably
work better on lone wolves, so try to focus on that, if possible. Trust me, if
you focus on the lone wolves for this, the experience will be nicer. Also, try
to avoid chicks who are walking/running and focus on chicks who are
"stationary".

Once you’ve targeted the chick, go up to her, get EC if possible (or at least
make sure she’s aware of your presence before talking to her). If she doesn’t
notice you and you need to get her attention to make this work just do a polite
interruption of whatever she’s doing and say "Hi" then follow with, "If a guy
was going to compliment you on anything... what would it be?"

Some chicks will answer. Some chicks will ignore. Some chicks will ask why the
hell you’re asking. NEXT the chicks that ignore you. Keep targeting and
approaching chicks until you find one that doesn't ignore you when opening this
way.

1. If she gives you an answer, skip to step 3.

2. If she asks why, tell her sometimes you see a girl you want to talk to but
are at a loss as to how to compliment her without sounding contrived like 'nice
eyes' or 'pretty face'. Then pause briefly and tell her that there was
"something" about her that made you want to approach her, but you weren’t sure
what it was. Then introduce yourself with "Hi, I’m X" (for the dumb guys out
there, replace X with your name) and hold out your hand. Skip to step 4.

3. Answers will fall into the following category. Follow through accordingly:

A) Some weird response like "Whaaa?" or looks at you weird. Just respond
(calmly, with a smile) "Listen, I just wanted to say ‘Hi’ for some reason and
thought you might be interesting to talk to. If that’s not the case, then my
mistake. Otherwise, maybe you can tell me a better way could have met."
Whatever she responds with, listen, and follow through however you think is
right, and consider your assignment fulfilled. Then report results to field
reports board.

B) "My eyes/face/hair". You: "I can see that...have you ever given a compliment
to a guy? [her response...blah blah...] What compliment would you give me? [her
response...blah blah...] Thanks, I actually get that a lot. But it's still nice
to hear. Hey, BTW, my name is X". Hold out your hand.

C) "My personality". You: Start busting on her playfully and make her prove it.
At some point, when it feels right (but also ASAP), say "Hey, BTW, my name is
X". Hold out your hand.

D) "My ass/breasts/legs" or some other sexual body part. If it’s a body part
that can be seen from the outside, tell her to show you. For example, if she
says her ass, tell her to show you. If she’s too shy to turn around, touch her
on the sides of her waist and gently turn her around while saying "It’s OK... I
want to see if people are right." And then compliment with "They’re right, you
do have a nice ass..." then finish with "Hey, BTW, my name is X". Hold out your
hand. If she mentions a body part that can’t be seen (unlikely, but still
possible, she might say pussy, nipples, tattoo on her ass cheek, etc.) then
start busting on her playfully and make her prove it. At some point, when it
feels right (but also ASAP), say "Hey, BTW, my name is X". Hold out your hand.

On A), she may STILL weird out some more. In that case, who cares, you’ve
fulfilled the assignment and I want reports of the details of it (environment,
what she looked like, how well you pulled off the other parts, etc.)

4. OK, if you got this step, you’ve held out your hand in an intro. When she
shakes & gives her name, keep holding onto her hand a bit longer than normal.
Don’t let go of it right away. Keep holding on while she gives her name, a
moment longer, plus the time it takes you to ask your finally follow-through
comment/question (after which I leave the rest of the interaction to you). The
follow-through comment/question. "You know, I’m glad I came up to meet you. You
do seem just like I pictured you would be and I think we should take the chance
to talk some more." As a hint to help you guys out, you can either go for an
immediate coffee-style venue change or just go for a contact close (@, #, or
both). Guys who want to get more comfortable with contact closing should go for
that. Guys who want to get more comfortable at attracting further and
interacting with chicks should go for the venue change attempt and, if that
doesn’t pan out, revert to a contact close.

For those of you who are going to whine about this assignment: whine away. Just
do it. Worst case, you pull it off right yet still get a weird response. Who
cares. At least there will be something to report in the field reports section.
If something interesting happens, even better, and you’ll be thinking me for
helping you open on a chick that you might not have otherwise.

Now, get to it.

WEEK 4

I'm tied up dealing with site/server issues right now so the description of
this week's assignment will be short and direct. If I later feel that
clarifications will be necessary, I'll do so by tomorrow.

You are to continue maintaining your PU journal. If your journal from last
week contained 5 or more days where the only entry was "I did not do any PUs
today.", then this week you MUST have at least 3 days where you write about PU
activities you've done. And I don't mean just that you want out with the
INTENT to do PU but also actually interacted with chicks for the purpose of
PUing them. I don't care how far you get with the chicks, the point this week
is to have 3 pages in that journal filled with descriptions of action-oriented
PU activities.

This week, you are also to begin preparing yourself mentally when going out.
Apply positive anchoring to past good feelings and successes so that you can
fire off those anchors prior to going out. If you don't think you have
something positive to anchor, try to imagine a good feeling you would want to
have then anchor that. And, get yourself to head out more often to be able to
create those positive states you will anchor and fire off later when you need
them. If you already have good anchors, find ways to amplify them. Part of
this is mental preparation is to begin to let go of your "mental masturbation"
positives and replace them with real positives. That means, you must start
looking at your experiences more objectively and not fantasize how you would
wish they turn out, but rather find ways to take action to have control over
how things turn out. Whenever you find yourself fantasizing about how you
THINK it went, review it objectively and only address things that you are
reasonably sure are true. And, for those aspects where something is more of a
wish than a fact, find aspects about yourself and your game that you should
improve in order to not fall into the same trap in the future.

By Wednesday, I want all recruits to take the most interesting day you've
written about in your PU journal the past 2 weeks and share it with the forum
on the field reports board by next Wednesday, before the next bootcamp
assignment. You can change names of people and leave out stuff you feel is
personal, but the point is to share your experiences. If you don't have
ANYTHING interesting to share (and the only way I can see that happening is if
you didn't do PU for 2 whole weeks), then you must post a [BC] field report
indicating that you have not accomplished your assignment and require
punishment.

Now, comes the specific assignment. It's not a concrete structure like in the
past 2 weeks, but will challenge your skills and propel you forward once you
begin to understand the frame of mind for it.

You are to begin learning the art of re-framing. Re-framing is taking a
situation that does not currently put you in an advantageous position, and
finding a way to turn it to your advantage. That could be anything from a
conversation, to a approach situation, to a follow-up meet with a chick. Go
out and initiate conversations with chicks and be prepared to re-frame as your
primary goal. If you need an opener, you can utilize the 2 variations from the
last 2 weekly assignments if you got positive results from them or you can
prepare a couple of the canned openers found all over this site and forum.
Just be prepared with some defaults, but also be aware you can revert to the
Universal Opener in a cinch, if you can't think of something. Anyway, that's
not the assignment. The assignment is, once you're interacting with the chick,
just set your mind on "autopilot" re-framing mode where you're always prepared
to re-frame the situation to your advantage. To the point where even if a
chick says "I'm not attracted to you.", you are able to respond to her in a way
that still works her words to your advantage. There is ALWAYS a way to
re-frame. Practicing this skill will lead you towards the goal of the
"ultimate frame" of mind, where you are capable of handling any situation
dynamically, as stuff is thrown at you.

Now, get to it.

WEEK 5

If you haven't worked through the first 4 weeks assignments, it's time to do so
now. You know who you are, if that's the case.

This week, you will have until midnight (EST -0500 GMT) next Wednesday to do
the one thing you fear the most (related to chicks). TWICE. Then, you MUST
report back your results in the field reports board. Regardless of the
outcome. That is IT. I don't want you to pick some pussy-ass shit that you've
already gotten past, pick the one thing which you truly fear the most and do it
twice.

There are exceptions, of course. Don't do anything physically dangerous,
life-threatening or totally logistically impossible for that week. Don't do
something that would risk your status at work or school. Keep working down the
chain of possibilities until it's something you CAN do, given no life-harming
aspect - just a lack of stupid mental excuses.

Anyone who doesn't understand this assignment, please report to (PrivateParts)
so he can slap your face with a big rotten trout.

Now, get to it.

WEEK 6

This week, you're going to experience what it would be like if you were an AFC
and someone was trying to get HELP you laid. You're going to see the OTHER
side, now that you are on THIS SIDE. You're going to find out first-hand just
how hard you USED to make it for yourself and, in contrast, how easy you can
make it for yourself now.

The week's assignment:

Do what you can to get a friend laid. Yes, that's right, go out and pick a guy
who is a good friend (who's not already hooked up) and you feel needs &
deserves your help, and do things to HELP him get laid while being totally
selfless about it. If you don't have any friends like this, make one. Don't
necessarily tell him you're doing something to help him. You may in fact not
just get him laid but also get him "hooked" up ('cuz, well, he's likely an AFC
and will stick with whatever chick he makes it with). Don't expect anything in
return. Because, sometimes, the application of this stuff is easier when you
have nothing at stake AT ALL. And, don't just put him in front of chicks or
tell those chicks "my friend needs to get laid". Do Mr. Smooth, provide him
with social proof, give him a few tips, tell him to change his shirt if another
one would look better on him, push him to action. And, the most important
thing... don't give up on him throughout the week. HOWEVER, don't get
belligerent on him either, don't "force" him as he will reject the help.
Rather, just create a good atmosphere for him and do things to keep his state
positive. Write the reports in your journal, as if you were him, yet also able
to observe objectively. Note all the mistakes and learn from them, tell him
about his mistakes (and the things he does right!), to help him improve. If
you need a 1-week extension on this assignment, use it (which means you have 14
days from now).

If, at the end of this assignment, you do get him laid and all of a sudden he
wants to hang around you all the time, rather than becoming his PU helper tell
him that you can take turns, and let him in on this site so that he can
understand. If you don't get him laid, you'll be able to witness just how
often a guy can get in his own way. In that case, it's up to you whether you
want to let him in on this site.

Now, get to it.


WEEK 7

This week's assignment is called "Operation X"

At least 1 day in the next 5 days, approach at least 5 chicks that - but don't
prepare any canned openers, use dynamics. Use AI methods. Use dynamic
openers. Use environmental openers. DON'T be goofy or "entertain" them when
opening or initiating convo, just allow the openers to flow into convo and then
flow into an interaction where you can build rapport. Use the BASICS. Don't
worry about the close part - focus on approaching, opening, initiating convo,
and building a base of rapport (emotional/sexual rapport, not BS rapport -
DAFS).

The day after, approach 10 chicks, same rules. If you are not able to approach
at least 5 chicks on that day, then the day after, approach twice as many
chicks as you did the previous day, same rules. If you reached the end of this
week and have not approached even 1 chick in any environment as outlined for
this assignment, well, your sorry ass will get kicked out of bootcamp. I don't
want to hear lame excuses like "I was sick" as you're expected to report being
sick AHEAD OF TIME. You have to get yourself OUT THERE to do this assignment,
so get OUT THERE. DO NOT, absolutely DO NOT depend on canned openers for this
assignment. If you do the goddamn Elvis opener or the "I saw chicks fighting
outside", it doesn't count. Ask those chicks about clothing, your "look",
something about them, the environment, AI openers, gunwitch method, etc. - you
can use whatever you come up with on-the-fly for later material as well when
you review your journal.

You can utilize a wing for this assignment, but at least ATTEMPT to do
approaching on your own.

For those of you who have not yet fulfilled week 6's assignment, you have 7
more days to do so. If you're able to do 10 solitary approaches on the second
day of this assignment, you will be relieved of week 6's assignment, assuming
you made at least SOME effort to fulfill that assignment during the past week.

Now, get to it.

WEEK 8

"Operation: Personal Lone Wolf"

Spacemonkey recruits:

-- If your PU time has almost entirely been spent with wings, you are to detach
yourself from that dependency this week and begin practicing solo.

-- If you are already regularly PUing solo, then expand your solo skills by
working groups …just be aware solo chicks are still better and that I'm not
forcing you to avoid that - be an adult and take advantage of situations you
know you can.

-- If you already can regularly PU solo & can PU groups as well, practice
extraction of your target chick from a groups.

-- If you're already good at all 3 of those things, why the fuck are you doing
these bootcamp exercises? Start posting a flood of field reports, scumbag!

Look back through your PU journal and figure out how often you've been PUing
and determine your weekly average. Multiply that number by 2 and apply it to
your PU time this week. That means, if you average 12 distinct approaches per
week, of any kind (solo, group, lone wolf), then this week you must do 24 this
week. If you've been a pussy the past 7 weeks and your average is lower than
2, your minimum will be 4 this week.

Now, get to it.

WEEK 9

For guys who are used to mostly doing PU in bars, clubs, or party environments,
stay away from those environments at all costs this week and replace with
street PU. The only exception is if you've already been invited to a party
before this assignment. For guys who are used to mostly doing street PU,
replace entirely with PU in bars, clubs, or parties. If your lacking of
something to do during the day in place of street PU, use this week to go back
through the past 8 weeks and reinforce any aspect of bootcamp you feel you
could have done better on.

For the guys being asked to swap their efforts to club/bar/party, college party
type stuff is OK, and also situations are OK when you might be in a "crowded"
social dynamic that will allow for a lay, but if it's just to "go out with the
guys", drop it and find a more applicable venue.

If you're not old enough to get access to a bar or club, intensify your current
and/or street PU efforts.

For guys who are already equally comfortable in either environment (and I mean
REALLY, not just a "feeling" of OK-ness with both), your assignment is to pick
the thing you think was the craziest thing another recruit has done so far for
bootcamp (either on his own or as a punishment) and do that yourself - twice
this week.

Now, get to it.

Week 10

"Operation: G Spotting"

Spacemonkey recruits:

10+ approaches per day on at least 2 days this week (minimum 20 approaches this
week).

Start focusing heavily on *G* closing (with a capital G) before ever bothering
to contact close chicks. If you don't sense a g close, don't contact close,
NEXT her after 4-5 minutes. Eject then find another chick. You're going to
need to learn to calibrate chicks and their responsiveness to you, to be able
to gauge their interest and progress based on clear IOIs.

To help your awareness and calibration, do lots of warm-up approaches and
really begin inducing AIs with pAImAI tactics (DAFS). Be more direct, less
gimmickry, less BS. Start getting used to observation, initiating with EC,
body language.

Some other things to be more aware of in yourself to induce faster
receptiveness in chicks: Your tonality, EC, kino, vibe, posture, mannerisms,
mirroring, and choice of words/language.

Also, from this week on, you are to NEVER discuss a negative topic with a chick
ever again, unless she has a desperate need to talk to you about it (meaning,
it's important to her and won't put you in the position of being her emotional
tampon or GF) or it brings you closer to a lay with her (realistically, not
mental masturbation). If you sense a chick bringing up a negative topic, find
a way to re-frame QUICKLY into something positive. If you find yourself
shifting to a negative topic, shift gears immediately into something positive.

Specific assignment(s) (can count towards 10+/2 days):

For sub rAFC to rAFC:
# or @ close 2 chicks from a grocery store or supermarket environment this
week. Chicks working in those environments don't count - your targets MUST be
other customers. If you WORK in a grocery store, don't PU at the store where
you work.

For RAFC to PUA+:
# close 3 chicks from a grocery store or supermarket environment this week.
Chicks working in those environments don't count - your targets MUST be other
customers. If you WORK in a grocery store, don't PU at the store where you
work.

Now, get to it.

BTW, where are the fucking field reports, recruits?!? Have many of you
reverted to dough-boy status? You do not want to disappoint me!!

Week 11

"Operation: B-A-Man"

Spacemonkey recruits:

This week, you are to experience the world of the inflexible. This will be a
hard-core week, you may even piss some people off in the process. This week,
you finally swing the pendulum to the EXTREME and only accept YOUR FRAME as the
valid frame when dealing with chicks (just don't do anything hurtful or illegal
for the purposes of "your frame"). If a chick doesn't want to do what you
want, then don't do anything with her until she does. If you are talking to a
chick and she disagrees with you on something, use it as a means to intensify
your own stance. When setting up meetings with a chick, don't be flexible with
your time at all. She can either show up when YOU want, or not at all. If a
chick tries to get you do something, do the opposite or nothing at all. With
this mentality, when you find yourself dealing with blurs, flakes, or retards,
you simply lay down the law and move on. She can either go your way or not at
all. Treat EVERYTHING that isn't going your way as a shit test.

Specific assignment(s):

I like SexPDX's recent mission suggestion of a week filled with "nothing but
statements". Apply that mission this week, along with the inflexible frame
above. Basically, the statement-only mission is to completely avoid ALL
questions when talking to ANYONE. If you come across a situation where you're
about to ask a question, pause yourself just long enough to figure out how to
phrase it as a statement. For example, if you want to take a chick to lunch,
don't ask "Would you like to join me for lunch?" or "What time is good for
you?", say "Join me for lunch... at 1PM." Or, as a general example, if you're
at a restaurant and want to ask the waitress what she recommends on the menu,
don't ask "What's good on the menu?", say "Tell me what's good on the menu."
Do this for an entire week.

Now, get to it.

Week 12

"Operation: Same-Day-Lay"

Spacemonkey recruits:

This week, you are to shift from the primary goal of contact closing chicks to
a primary goal of same-day f close ATTEMPTS. You are not allowed to contact
close at all unless logistics force you to. And I mean REALLY force you to.
You are to consider that your ONLY shot at your targets is a same-day f close.

For those guys who are still semi-dough-boys, that doesn't mean you get to
cheat your way out of this week by doing less approaches. Take the last 4
weeks worth of approaching you've done, get your weekly average, then multiply
by 2 to get this week's minimum number of expected approaches!

"But Jay, how can I possibly attempt to f close that many chicks in a single
week??"

It is actually MORE possible to attempt that many f closes per week than
attempted contact closes. Why? Because with contact closing, unless you talk
to the chick for at least a few minutes, properly g close, and take the time to
follow up, e-mail, phone, meet, etc., you've wasted A LOT of time and then
there is no guarantee she won't flake. But if at the forefront of your mind is
same-day f closing, you can skip all the follow-up bullshit and focus primarily
on immediate follow-through. You'll get one of 3 responses (just 3!):

1. Insta-flake. You'll KNOW whether she would end up flaking on you later...
no more wasted time. SWEET!

2. Serious logistical obstacle. In that case, you default to a contact close.
But, at the very least you will have portrayed a man who goes for what he
wants, and your intentions are more clear, less chance of her flaking later
because of it. SWEET!

3. She takes your lead. Only thing that can possibly fuck up an f close after
this is your own hesitation or some fucking serious obstacle shit like 12 of
her devoutly religious warpig relatives show up.

If you get a lot of "1" responses, it means you have to work on your g closing
skills (easy - RTFM, LOL).

If you get a lot of "2" responses, and just a few "1" responses, good for you,
but you need to either improve your pacing/leading skills or find environments
which are more conducive to you venue-changing the chick.

If you get a lot of "3" responses (and a few "1"s and "2"s) but find yourself
tripping up last-minute, or hesitating, then you know your game is LETHAL
except for the fine points of your end game. So, all you've got to do is
address those fine points. SWEET!

If you get a lot of "3" responses and no problems with the closes, well, SWEET!

Now, get to it.

Week 13

"Operation: Battlefield Review"

Spacemonkey recruits:

Spend 1-2 days (whenever you can find the time Thu/Fri/Sat) reviewing your PU
journal *thoroughly*, read it and make at least 2 notes for each week of the
things you learned the most about yourself. Generally, such notes will be in
the form of "I did X really well." Or "I didn't do Y so well, I need to improve
Y."

Once you have all those notes, review the things you are doing very well
consistently, start keeping a separate log of those things, they will become
YOUR structure. YOUR style. YOUR method.

Review the things you did not do so well and mentally determine how you would
(or did) solve those things you need (or needed) improvement on. Tell yourself
you understand the specific issues and just accept that now you know what to do
and those things are basically SOLVED, you just need to apply your experience
in future PUs, future seductions. You will separate such a list into 2 parts:
"important" and "not important". Throw out all the "not important" ones, ones
you've already since solved, and ones where you honestly believe that now you
have solved it because it is plain as day in front of you. You should end up
with about 5-10 important things that can only be solved out in the field. For
the subsequent 4-5 days after this review process, do the kind of PU you are
best at (the structure you've begun to define), whether you do that PU at
clubs, street, college, parties, whatever (but it must be something you can do
multiple times over those 5 days) and do PUs with the side goal of being aware
of those 5-10 items that you need to get past. Focus on finally taking care of
those things.

By the end of the week, you should be getting past the "must improve" stuff on
your list and only have 1 or 2 "very huge" remaining issues that might be
causing you to get "stuck". In that case, make a post (in General, with the
subject line beginning with [BC-SP]) about JUST those 1-2 things and ask for
advice.

Now, get to it.


Week 14

Operation: Wet Willy"

(Special note to MaxPower: Remember not to leave printouts of bootcamp in your
car's glove box.)

Spacemonkey recruits:

Before I describe this week's assignment, I want to clarify something before I
get the typical dough-boy whining that "This is too much for me to handle or
accomplish right now." My answer to that is 2-fold: The assignment is
something which pushes you to take action on something and take it as far as
you go. How far you can take it, I don't care, as long as you put your heart
into it. The second thing is, if you got this far in bootcamp then you should
be able to handle the assignment. If not, you either skipped previous
assignments or did not put forth a good enough effort somewhere down the line.
In that case, figure out where you need improvement and re-work those weeks of
bootcamp all the way through back to here. Because once you get here through
following the bootcamp assignments for real, you WILL be ready.

Take at least 2 days, maybe 3 where you focus on same-day f closing chicks.
Don't allow yourself to contact close at all unless the chick is 9+ (to you)
and logistics work completely against you and you are not likely to EVER see
this chick again. Your main goal is same-day f close. Each day, you have to
devote to street, warm-up, pAImAI, AI, direct approaches, less gimmickry,
timing, pacing, control structures, leading, etc., or any tactics which you've
so far been able to successfully make use of up to this point. Just work
towards same-day. Don't worry about if you start out with ONE chick and end up
with her the whole day and end up at some place at the end of the night ALMOST
getting laid but fuck up somewhere... the point is to put effort into learning
the process of leading to a point where it's possible to fuck up a same-day
lay. Meaning, if you get to the point where you can change venues with a chick
you literally just met, isolate her, and get her to a place where you can fuck
(all through planning and conscious effort), it's still a massive leap from
where you were before you started learning this stuff. These are not VOLUME
days (volume contact closes, meeting as many chicks as possible, etc.), these
are "I decided to get laid" days. That means, you pick a chick (that you're
attracted to), you go full steam with the chick until you can't go any more
(reach a wall you are not able to bypass even with all the knowledge you've
built up to this point), you lay the chick (if possible). If that's not
possible and there's still time left in the day, you find another chick and you
repeat the process.

I want you guys to realize that bootcamp is NOT just something linger on and
move week-to-week through even if you couldn't deal with the previous week's
assignment. If you reach a week where you get stuck or can't seem to progress
then you must hold yourself back and get through that week's assignment
regularly until you "get it" and feel capable of moving ahead. I want you to
feel confident with each progression - there is no use trying to go through
each week's escalating assignments if you are neither prepared nor confident
enough to handle it. Simply determine your highest level of competence, find
the appropriate week, then begin building again from there.

Also, this week, on the "off" days, continue working your various
self-improvement goals, if you have any that require significant attention.
Otherwise, make sure you keep up with the rest of your life (work, school,
family, etc.).

Now, get to it.

Week 15

"Operation: Alignment"

Spacemonkey recruits:

I commend those guy's who've been able to stick with bootcamp and done their
best to accomplish assignments week-to-week and keep up and encourage guys who
are still getting through past weeks to keep up their efforts. Just remember
why you are going though all this… if you don't, I will KICK YOUR ASS
DOUGH-BOY!!

Broad assignment:

Review the previous week, and figure out your strong points and weak points.
Maximize your strong points and minimize your weak points. If, even minimized,
your weak points get in the way of your goals (whatever they may be), come up
with 3 creative ways to take care of each weak point and apply at least one of
those ways in a SERIOUS fashion this week in doing active PUs. I'm not
concerned with the outcome, just so long as you are pinpointing what you need
to work on and are making ATTEMPTS.

Specific assignment:

Sometime this week, target a chick to PU but NOT specifically for closing HER
(or contact closing her) but, rather, to get her to compliment ANOTHER chick -
complimenting that chick about something physical. She will do this FOR you,
but she is NOT to tell the other chick she's complimenting for you. Her goal
is to do that and then to bring the chick over to you. This must be a NEW
chick, one that you just met on the day you attempt it so she can't already be
a FB, GF, LJBF, STR, LTR, ONS, MLTR, MLTR^2, or whatever. She must be new and
so must be the chick you target for her. The frame of this doesn't have to be
about bi-sexual chicks at all, unless you want it to be, it doesn't have to be
about getting 2 chicks at the same time, unless you want it to be, it's just
about getting one chick to pull another chick for you. What you do from there
is up to you.

It's better to do this specific assignment earlier in the week in case you have
to make more attempts in order to finally accomplish the assignment.

Now, get to it.

Week 16

"Operation: Putting It All Together"

Spacemonkey recruits, you are now officer-class.

I've provided you guys an extra couple of days for the last assignment. You're
welcome :-)

This is your reward week. Pick ONE day of this week to focus entirely on the
idea that you can get up one day and just decide "I'm getting laid today from a
chick I've never met before and I'm not going to do it in a club or bar or
party environment. I'm going to find her somewhere commonplace. I'm going to
skip chicks who don't truly turn me on and take my time PICKING a chick that I
am turned on by. And, I will use my entire arsenal of experience to come up
with a way to meet her, attract her, seduce her, and lay her. Not only will I
get great pleasure and satisfaction from this, I will also provide this girl
with the greatest experience of her life. Because I'm not just a PUA. I am
master of the art. I let nothing stand in my way and, I never apologize for my
actions, when I decide what I want, I go out and get it. It's that simple."

Now, get to it.
