Selected!!!

Attended class 501-07 and got selected for 18E and Spanish. I leave here Thursday and will continue to train and prep for the mighty "Q". Don't have any dates yet, but I'm glad to have one foot in the door. Thanks for all the advice, all those long nights on this site helped a lot.

Congrats

Congrats, you've got your toe in the crack of the door.

Keep focused on the 25m target each step of the way for the rest of the trip through the Q Course.

Don't slack off on p.t. Worse thing you can do is assume the physical stuff is over with. You will get crushed in phase II if you're not in shape, not to mention your peer evaluations will go in the toilet if you can't perform to the same standard as your teammates. Food for thought.

He's got a long road ahead.

Don't let Warrior-Mentor blow smoke up your skirt, it ain't over yet.

You've still got a whole lot of time to screw up. Keep your head on straight and continue to march. Hold off on the party until someone hands you that Green Beret.

Keep focused.

After you sober up, realize that you have yet to get to a team where it starts all over again, and they ain't impressed!!!!!!
