ACE I/D ACTN3 PPARGC1A
Phase 2

Selection

COMT warrior genotype, sleep deprivation resilience (PER3), cold tolerance, and cortisol regulation patterns.

COMT Val/Val PER3 FKBP5
Phase 3

Qualification

Advanced skill acquisition, sustained performance under fatigue, cognitive load management, and technical proficiency markers.

BDNF KIBRA COMT
Long-Term

Operator Longevity

PTSD resilience (FKBP5), recovery optimization, inflammation markers, and career sustainability factors.

FKBP5 BDNF IL-6
Comprehensive Analysis

Six Performance Domains

Every marker analyzed across critical operator capabilities

Stress Performance

COMT Val158Met, catecholamine response, decision-making under pressure. The "warrior gene" analysis.

Physical Capacity

Power vs endurance profile, muscle fiber composition, aerobic ceiling, and explosive potential.

Sleep Deprivation

Circadian rhythm stability, cognitive preservation, Hell Week resilience, recovery requirements.

Recovery & Durability

Inflammation markers, injury risk, tissue repair capacity, training load tolerance.

PTSD Resilience

FKBP5 variants, HPA axis regulation, trauma response genetics, long-term psychological durability.

Team & Leadership

Oxytocin receptor variants, social cognition, aggression modulation, team cohesion markers.

The Complete Picture

The Selection Equation

Selection success isn't genetic destiny. It's three layers working together. Most candidates optimize two — they're missing the foundation.

The Edge

Drive

Mental toughness. Discipline. The refusal to quit. This is trained, not inherited — and it's what separates those who make it from those who don't. You control this completely.

You Build This

The Method

Prep

Training protocol. Sleep optimization. Nutrition timing. Recovery strategies. This is where most candidates focus — and where genetic data helps you optimize every input.

The Foundation

Baseline

Your genetic foundation. Stress response type. Recovery capacity. Injury susceptibility. Endurance vs power profile. This is the layer most candidates have never seen — the missing intel that informs everything above it.

We Reveal This

You've built the Drive. You've dialed the Prep. Now know your Baseline.

From the Community

Candidates Who Knew Their Baseline

"Found out I'm a slow caffeine metabolizer. Stopped taking pre-workout before afternoon sessions and my sleep quality went through the roof. Small change, massive impact on recovery."

M.R.
RASP Candidate
Class 03-25

"COMT Val/Val — the warrior genotype. Knowing I perform better under stress actually gave me more confidence going into selection. It's not about destiny, it's about awareness."

J.K.
SFAS Graduate
18X Pipeline

"Report showed elevated injury markers for connective tissue. Added targeted collagen supplementation and mobility work 6 months before BUD/S. No soft tissue issues through Hell Week."

The Cost of Not Knowing

A Naval Officer trained for BUD/S. In the best shape of his life. Then his body failed him — not his mind. Medical disqualification. Read how genetics he didn't know about ended his SOF career before it started.

Peer-Reviewed Research

Research-Backed. Operator-Focused.

Our analysis framework is built on peer-reviewed research from military performance science, including the landmark 2025 USARIEM study that examined 116 SNPs in 800 SFAS candidates.

We don't make predictions about who will pass. We give you the data to optimize your preparation and understand your genetic baseline.

"Genetics won't make or break you. Mental toughness is trained, not inherited. But knowing your starting point lets you train smarter."

FAQ

Where do I get my raw DNA file?

Download from 23andMe (Settings → Privacy → Download Data) or AncestryDNA (DNA → Settings → Download Raw DNA Data).

Will this tell me if I'll pass selection?

No. Selection success is primarily determined by mental toughness, which is trained, not inherited. We show your genetic baseline so you can optimize training and understand areas that may need extra work.

Is my genetic data secure?

Burn After Reading protocol. Your DNA file is processed in memory and permanently destroyed within seconds. No storage, no database, no trail. You get your intel — we retain nothing.

What research is this based on?

Our framework draws from peer-reviewed military performance research, including the 2025 USARIEM study that analyzed 116 SNPs in 800 SFAS candidates and identified markers predictive of selection outcomes.

What file formats do you accept?

.txt and .zip files from 23andMe and AncestryDNA. Most DNA testing companies provide compatible formats.
