Young Soldier - if you ever want to be taken seriously you need to learn to use your native tongue in a more efficient manner.
There are several points that need to be addressed here:
The first- there are 2 spaces after a period, always.
Point 2- all subordinate phrases do not become independent sentences, as they are additional information to the previous full thought. They may be separated from the main clause by any number of punctuation marks, a dash, a comma, a semi colon, but never a period.
Point 3- Most of your sentences are actually fragments, incomplete thoughts that are intelligible only due to the greater context of your post.
Point 4 - Capitalization is important.
Point 5 - Spelling is important.
Point 6 - Usage is important.
Should you mean it when you state your desire to join SF, you will find in your training and afterwards on a Team that you will be required to write for an audience of Officers. If the above posts are what you consider 'good' English, your Team will not get the mission.
If you hope to become an NCO, you need to pay attention to detail in your writing. Actually, even if you decide to leave the Army you will really need to improve your command of the written English Language in order to be taken seriously.
Why would you even ask if NG SF Units were 'jacked up'? do you realize you are asking truly professional soldiers if they believe they are just joking around? I believe you owe our NG brothers an apology.
If the way you presented yourself here is any indication, there is no question why you would be laughedat by your previous rotation or foreign soldiers - you come across as an arrogant kid, convinced he is right and knows everything. This is a bad attitude to cop if you are around people who have been in the Army for longer than the 3 months you were in after getting through BCT.
