Unsportsmanlike Conduct for piling on.

15 yard penalty and loss of down.

24/7,

FWIW, I would recommend talking with an SF recruiter. Not sure if you had a bad experience with recuiters in the past, however SF recruiters are a somewhat different breed.

1. They are professionals

2. The majority are SF-qualified quys who either got sucked into it (because any time off an A-Team sucks), or in at least one instance I know of - was allowed to work recruiting, so he could remain at the post and recover from injuries - this allowed a healthy guy to remain on a team

3. Because they are SF-qualified, they have a vested interest in making sure that Regiment is filled with quality personnel - they may have to work with you in the future

4. They have been there...they have walked the walk, and can talk the talk. They are not the normal 11H recruiter trying to fill 97E slots. They CAN answer your questions.

5. Because they are "access points to the system", they have the latest information. The information you find in your other research methods (magazines, books, websites, various blogs, your non-SF qualified buddy, etc...) may be dated or wrong.

6. You are on a different continent - they will be able to keep in touch, or put you into contact with people who can provide you information e.g., whose signatures do I need on this waiver? Bn Cdr or will my Cpy Cdr suffice?

7. Along with keeping in touch, you are at least known to the recruiter - they will have a file on you. They will be able to assist you (do not confuse this with holding your hand). Remember, the core of SF is the A-Team, not the individual.

8. You may not realize it...but in this thread you have already conversed with at least 7 "recruiters"

Just my humble $0.02

V/R,
