But I don't wish to split hairs...bottom line if someone is a 21 day non-selectee they need to take a good hard look at themselves and find the shortcoming. If they can't find their flaw I wouldn't try going back again...rucka sacka is too heavy to carry around for another non-selection!

Thanks for figuring out how important those two (personality/character) things are. Your Kung Fu is strong SF18C!! Those are things that I have always known and at least now it's being evaluated in SFAS. That's what is dropping guys out now who in the past might have made it. It's tough to see those 24 day non-selects stand there after giving it their all but at least we know the regiment isn't getting only a strong, smart guy....The regiment is getting a strong, smart guy who can also play well with others! Now we need the real "Action Guys" on the teams to keep these young men motivated and stay in for the long run. The story today in the Fayetteville Observer Times is a little concerning.
Thanks for your input!
