Chuck, I'm confused.
What are you doing here at PS.com? Are you lost?
Imagine my surprise when I searched SWCC Creed and found this . . . http://www.sealswcc.com/navy-swcc-creed.aspx
It's like when my idiot brother showed up to watch game six of the the World Series wearing a Rams jersey. Good luck anyway . . .

Maybe he decided he likes rucking more than swimming or do the Seals call thier initial assessment "selection" as well? Ha Ha.

ROTFLMAO....  What the F*&k Chuck. You infiltrating? I hope you are not already task saturated or its gonna be a long January. Give it a good go, and if you have to pause and ask yourself if that was enough, then it probably wasn't.

I have one officer and one enlisted buddies heading to the first 2012 class. I passed all resources from this site to them, in addition to all the medical pitfalls I came across that could have easily been avoided by basic field precautions and care. None of the tips qualify as G2.

FrostFire thank you for Video and I understand what is mean by chills. I can not wait for this and want to be part of the family and make a difference and accept the challenges that will be presented to me.
Dragbag036 no I am not infiltrating, when I was downrange and worked to some team members I realized what it meant to be in a QP. I knew where I needed to be. When I joined the Army I knew what I wanted to do but the recruiter would not offer me a 18X contract because I am prior service. No I am not task saturated I am good to go still.
greenberetTFS you are correct "The Creed of Quiet Professionals" is the one for me.
I am looking forward to SFAS and I am ready for it..I look forward to being with like minded brothers.
Thank you
Chuck
