View Full Version : Almost time
Monday is the big day, where I head off to SFAS. From what I have been told, I only have 1 shot at this now, so hopefully I am prepared. Ihave browsed this boards for a little bit now, and must say thanks for the good info you guys have up on here. Hopefully in 26 days from now I will be selected.

Late for Dinner?
Didn't you know? If you're late for diner you have to clean up after everyone.

Don't quit. That's all you can do now but that's all you ever need to be successful. If you never quit, it doesn't matter what else happens. At least you can look at yourself in the mirror and know you did your best.
Good Luck.

Cast or tab hehe. Well... I got selected but I am in a cast. The course wasn't to bad, some stuff sucked but I enjoyed it. I loved having my house on my back, I loved being with motivated guys and I loved being away from the shit bags in my unit.
Congrats Amato! Well...except for the cast part.
Sweet & sour.
Congratulations! Get well!

For the most part yes. Im going to give your book to a buddy who is going to be heading to the April class. The footcare section will defenantly help him out alot.
Funny thing is I wish I was back out there now. I loved feeling like a soldier for once. I remember one day during the star and I thought to myself, "Wow...everything I am living off of is on my back!" I almost popped wood from that haha. One thing that is getting to me right now is I go from being around top notch guys who I'd have no problem serving in combat with to being back with guys I wouldn't even trust with a rubber duck.

I am AD. I just got a real cast on today. I go back in 3 weeks, they'll take it off and take an XRay and see where I am at. The doctor told me it usually takes 6-8 weeks for a bone to heal. From the looks of it, it'll be a little while. It sucks, but it'll give me time to learn a bit of spanish.

Descanse y encuentrate una latina para que practiques. Hay bastante latinas en Carolina del norte.

Heal smartly.

I'll be going out to Selection this weekend (18MAR06), and hopefully I'll pass out of selection, and not just be comical relief for the rest of the candidates. I've had mixed reviews from my chain of command after signing my volunteer statement from fake concern from NCO's, to encouragement, to an absolutely vitriolic response from my Brigade Sergeant Major, "You dont need to get special forces now, you can special forces anytime, you need to go to the Warrior Leader's course...' Not that I Value his opinion much, because he's been thriced divorced, and he has a faux hawk that looks half-squirrel half-muppet. I had originally planned to go to the Foreign Relations program at Georgetown University, but, I'm reaching my last year in the Army, and I wanted to try something challenging before I try to embark on a career in the CIA w/ in the paramilitary wing. Maybe I'll succeed, maybe I'll fail, but I'll definitely learn something about myself in the process of the SFAS course, and whether I'm fit for this kind of work.
take care,

Jorj:
I think that the people you want to work for would not want you discussing it on an internet board.
Why on this earth would you go to SFAS if you have no intention of going to the SFQC?
Finally, you need to fill in your profile a bit and introduce yourself in the proper place before posting again.

Was a joke.
"Do you have a long haired dictionary?"
Means get a Spanish speaking girl-friend to help you with your language skills.

Crooz,
Idioms can be confusing........;)
Gender attaches to the subject as well as the adjective..........Not that there is anything wrong with Largo dictionarios!!??:D

Well....since we're getting all semi-official. The adjective in this case, largo, is describing the pelo which is masculine. Therefore "una dictionaria de pelo largo" would be the way to say it.
Hey, I didn't write the rules, you gentlemen who went to school know them better than I. I speakee spaneesh and am just letting you know from my perspectiva how it should be worded.
Warrior-Mentor,
Most men would like a largo time with a beautiful latina. :cool:

Although technically correct....I still say:
You can have your "largo"...I'll take a chica flaca. :cool:
