Got the book from BooneGA, and have read it at least 3 times thus far.. The tips in there are indispensable. Some of the stories about the history of Special Forces are really enjoyable to read.

Read the book tonight for the first time and took some notes, going to read it several more times. I also can not access warrior-mentor.com for some information referenced in the book, I attempted to send Warrior Mentor a PM but his inbox is full. Did the site move?

Great read

I read this book prior to heading off to SFAS. It proved to be helpful in my preparation for the course, it’s not the only book I read or the only research I did before attending. I was selected in September of this year and will be attending the “Q” after I get back from my current deployment. One of my guys is wanting to attend SFAS when we return stateside, I recommended this book as a must read. Another great read that I can’t speak highly enough about is CHOSEN SOLDIER, the making of a Special Forces soldier by Dick Couch. It gave me an insight of what to expect while in SFAS and after. I’ve been told that’s the easy part, after that the hard part starts (SFQC) and I can’t wait to get started!

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!

The site is no longer active. It's been down for a while.
