If you want to gain some insight on being an SF guy, stop reading books about SEALs. Think about this...
..."I don't want to go back to the fleet"
If your little voice is worried about going 'back to the fleet' then you are already dealing with as much of an ego problem as a quitting problem. We don't want folks that only want to join SF because they don't want to be in the Army.
-A Sailor that is worried more about "being in the fleet" than his task at hand is serving his ego, not the nation. A Soldier that is worried about going "back to division" more than he is worried about completing his task needs to fix his ego before it gets someone killed.
The road is long.
The road is all up hill.
There is no "end" of the road; there is just "more road".
In a nod to the SEALs, "the last easy day was yesterday"
Don't worry about the little voice in your head and just remember that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"...
...and stop reading those fucking books about SEALs
