BB-
SFAS is only 4 weeks (I think) The Q is a minimum of a year, and it's as or more demanding of your body and your time than you think - be prepared for anything and everything. NG won't make it any easier, NG teams are getting deployed too. Good Luck. DOL

Actually SFAS is only the ticket for admittance not the validation for success.

FWIW my (Active) ODA's Jr-18C is 45. And he's a hard sinewy dude (and a chick magnet somehow). He was one of them "15 year break in service" guys... Who DOES that?! His only physical hiccup is that altitude does a real number on him... but 14,000' mountains knock the socks off of alotta folks.

Longtab-
Gives us FOGs hope! I'd only have, oh, 3 reenlistments to retirement, and that would make me 61 when I got back out.....

I understand that Sir, long road still ahead if I get selected. It's the journey that I hope to enjoy the most, in sadistic ways, i'm sure. Always loved pushing myself to "my" limits, painful or not, I believe it makes life more interesting! Too many sit on the sidelines and watch, and i'm tired of being one of those people-gotta try to do this!! Thanks

Been an athlete my whole life and...
Hey BB,
been an athlete my whole life and if you want it go after it. I did it and lets just say I trump you chronologically. We were in the same situation and happen to be in the same state. Give me a first name and I will track you down this week and we can talk off line about my experience with the process.

Would like to talk to you, but it would be cool if you fill out your personal profile first. Introduce yourself and we'll continue this little discussion. Thanks BB.
