Attended class 501-07 and got selected for 18E and Spanish. I leave here Thursday and will continue to train and prep for the mighty "Q". Don't have any dates yet, but I'm glad to have one foot in the door. Thanks for all the advice, all those long nights on this site helped a lot. :)

Congrats, you've got your toe in the crack of the door.
Keep focused on the 25m target each step of the way for the rest of the trip through the Q Course.
Congrats! Good luck with the Q course.

Don't slack off on p.t. Worse thing you can do is assume the physical stuff is over with. You will get crushed in phase II if you're not in shape, not to mention your peer evaluations will go in the toilet if you can't perform to the same standard as your teammates. Food for thought.

Congrats on step 1.
Selected only means that you still have numerous opportunities to fail. Keep your eyes and ears open, mouth shut, and focus on each 25m target as it presents itself... then possibly in a couple of years, you'll really get selected.
just got back from selection, new 14-day course, no joke! getting my feet x-rayed tomorrow. 18E, French. This site was a big help. Thank you QPs

Also just got back with H8Leech...he is one strong mofo! Got selected, and I already got my Xray's. Bone scan in a couple days, I definitly got a good fracture from the trek. Thank you guys for feeding us good intel on success, Daver still says it best with DO YOUR BEST. It really is the best advice. I am already studying the language material...God help me with Thai!!
Bottom line...14 day course is NO JOKE. One thing I noticed though is that there is so little down time less people voluntary withdrawed, because they were so busy the didn't have time to doubt themselves! On to airborne and SUT, see you guys in the future.

I didn't know they were still assigning Thai as a language. I thought they got rid of Thai along with German. Are they issuing German also?
Just returned from the 2nd 14 day SFAS and I got SELECTED. 18D-French (for now, changing to Arabic)-20th Group
Thanks for all of the help from everyone on this forum. It aided in making me as prepared as I could have been. I never thought anything could be that hard... you guys warned me.

I also got selected in class 02-08. We probably had the worst weather in North Carolina history. Just about everyone had chilblain for a week after the freezing rain and snow during land nav but it was fun overall.
They gave me french and 18B. CLT is up next.

Amen.
And students injured when ice laden trees fell on them. The same storm knocked out the power at CMK so that there was no heat, hot water, or DFAC. "Here are your MRE's, men. Take care and try to stay warm."
Last summer, the temp at the Camp topped 108 three days in a row.
You were only there for 14 days, and have not seen bad weather yet. Wait till Phase II, when you are there long enough to live in the tents and appreciate it.

We ordered that weather for your selection process, it assists in separating the men from the boys.

I remember that summer very well. I was in Pineland during that time, and I think they said it was 4 to 5 days of 105+ degrees. Needless to say, I drank a lot of water...until I could remember what water tasted like.

I was there in FEB 1980; I thought the ice storms were ordered up to enhance the morning ruck marches. Any one remember getting caught in the rear with a 60 in that mess? Only had to bang the gates once... We also had more than a foot of snow during patrolling; we ended up humping back to CMC. They were able to get us back to Bragg three days later; we hit the weapons pool around 1800 and were released after 2400. The first day of phase two they could not keep us awake during IMC, sent us back to get some sleep. The calendar says that was a long time ago, some stuff still seems like yesterday.
Congrads to those selected, I am mentoring a young Soldier who should get there this summer, this site is pure gold.

Not being SF but having my fair share of poop for weather, it gets far worse. If and when you make it to the end of your training, you'll get to experience other fun places like the mountains of Afghanistan (also has some nice hot weather throughout the theater of ops) and our most recent vacation hot spot Iraq.
Yes it's cold, and it'll definately be hot. But there is always something worse. I'm humble and know I've got it good. Hmmm words have been posted before......goes a little like "Embrace the suck!!!"
Congrats to all for making it from that 50m target to the next..
Amen.

I believe that was the selection class of Aug-Sept, if I am correct that was during my land nav portion of SFAS and I can say it was hot as hell( and I grow up in Phoenix). And when you tell your self it cant get worse it does :)
I was selected back in 02-08, haven't been online much since. Just returned from CLT last Friday. It's the recurring theme on the board not to take any part of training lightly, the same holds true for CLT. Everybody felt it, some folks got hammered- don't slack off after SFAS!

WOW! Thanks for that tremendous compliment. Really appreciate the feedback.
Obviously put a lot of time and effort into writing it. Assumed some risk (financial and political) by publishing it. But feedback like that - and the success we've had supporting the Special Operations Warrior Foundation - makes it definitely worth it.

I have to agree with Defender1984, your book was a great coach. Thank you for the time and effort you put into that book. For what it's worth, it greatly improved my changes during selection, just as the books' purpose says! The three things i'd recommend to anyone going to selection: "Get Selected", a canteen straw, and crocs! So count me as number 2 on that team, and now 10 more for an ODA!

I just got selected last month and got 18B and Urdu. I was a 19D a long time ago but reclassed to 68P (Xray tech) two years ago. *Worst decision ever*
I am pumped about 18B and I am scratching my head trying to learn Urdu via rosetta stone.
Any advice on either will help. Also I hear that I will most likely go to 3rd so any one from there please chime in as well.

Ken,
I have completed the weapons course in the recent past and my only advice is that if you can learn the fundamentals of the cycles of operation, you will be lightyears ahead of your classmates. Also, always keep in the back of your mind that the way the Bravo Commitee sets up and runs ranges is EXACTLY what you must be able to do when training your indig.

Well done guys. Take everything the QPs are telling you onboard and remember this, the assessment NEVER stops. You may have finished the selection portion but you will be assessed everyday by every QP until you quit, ETS or retire.

18E, NQP from the 3/20th. I already have native Spanish proficiency, and am wondering whether Russian or Arabic would be more helpful to the Group. I assume it would be Arabic but I would like to make the best-informed decision possible, and would be grateful for any information on the matter.

Go with your strengths, get thru the "Q" course, let SF command decide what's in it's best interests. If I were the sitting CSM, I would send you down range with a team needing an 18E ASAP, and put another soldier in a language class seat that would have been filled by you.
If you can show real language proficiency, why would you want a team to wait for you?
Getting to a team should be your only goal, 25M at a time.
Don't discount any language, all are needed, you'll do fine. If you're good, you'll serve on three to four teams in your career. If really good, you'll be a team dad, if not, that will be self evident.
Go with your strengths.
Additionally, I would add that if an AD slot opens across the street at Eglin,, you're GTG..

18D and Arabic - I hope you enjoy a challenge and are prepared to embrace the suck of study, study, and more study when your friends want to go out. Get your mind wrapped around the concept and keep your focus on your end goal. The opportunity to party will come after you've completed your training and have orders to Group; wait for it.
For you 18D's - good luck and I'll pass on some words to us from MSG Bob Scully when he was our NCOIC at the lab:
"Grades don't mean s**t. You're either good enough or you aren't. I don't want any 80% medic working on me and I won't pass any 80% medic on to join a team. They're better than that and they deserve better than that. And if you can't decide whether or not you're good enough to be a team medic, don't worry about it - we're here to help you make the right decision."
