TS,
Again...my quote was "Perhaps much of the SOCOM forces are more focused on "Hard Men" rather than the "Smart Man". "
This is a thought that I hoped others might expound on. I agree...I would hope not...my point being assessment process by various career-fields.
"Your post smacks of a sour grape attitude concerning some of the less capable NCOS’s in your conventional unit days. Tell me former 11A, 12A and 19A CPT, did you make a difference and remove these shirkers from our ranks? often, they throw their subordinates under the bus to hide their own incompetence. Knowing you were aware of their misdeeds I’m sure you as an officer took care of business. Or is it your intention to just complain about them?"
Actually, yes I did. However, I found it pathetic that many higher level officers thought so highly of them. Which is one of several reasons I resigned my commission and worked my way into the SOF arena. I am not here to pass off a sour grapes attitude about these NCOs, I was hoping to gain some insight from you and others. This seems like a natural deviation that if you are going to talk comparisons about conventional and SOF forces and the conversation was turning (not by me), perhaps a discussion of NCO leadership traits might be in order. That was all I was doing.
I did not come here to brag, boast, inform, or necessarily share my past...you asked what my background (MOS) was so I told you.
It is you who brought up the PT test and appearance in reference to me...I only responded. I am glad you train for combat...join the club. My reference is about the Army PT test and the ST PFT I do now.
Is there a particular reason you are crawling up my 4th point with misquotes, mischaracterizations, and rudeness? Or is this SOP and I did not read about this on a sticky?
I fail to see what I did to deserve either of your responses or the tone you have taken. I came here as an ally and a fellow warrior who appreciates your careerfield..something that SF does not get a whole lot of ( though deserves)from the Army or SOCOM as of late, if ever. I offer confidence in you guys and compliments based off experience. What's with the work over? Do I owe you money?
