Obviously, NOT - per your profile:

... On some weekends I play a buck Sgt 13F

See previous post - pull your cranial sphere out of your 4th point - consistency is the key to a good cover story - you blew it. That sound you almost heard was your captor's Berretta 9mm entering your head. G'night John-boy, you're in for the long sleep.

Another point - SF prepares those who are QPs for ANY career they choose - civilian or military. Ask the FOGs like me who are QPs what they're doing now - you might be surprised what a bunch of tactically proficient (your phrase) old soldiers have accomplished. I've got multiple college degrees, including an MBA - but I'm only tactically proficient. Bud, officers get deselected from SF because they don't measure up on their GT scores.

I repeat - read previous post - and everything you can about getting selected, and SF life - use that grey shit inside your helmet holder to make a decision. One of GEN Colin Powell's rules is, "You can't make somebody else's choices. Don't let them make yours."
