jmout-
I had a lot more college credits than you when I enlisted, more than 2x, but I was not worried about getting credit for going through SFQC - that's not the reason to join SF. Nor is the fact that your father is tabbed. My advice to you is to do a deep gut check, you're what 20? Do you plan on using SF as a "badge of honor", think it'll prove something to somebody, or get you a few extra college credits - then - join ROTC.

My advice to you is to read this site - all of it, even if it takes you through the Fall 07 semester. See what the QPs say, their motivations. SF is a way of life, you have to be right to get selected, and you have to be different to make it through SFQC. COL Moroney and others have served as "Deans", many on this board have been "Professors", the QPs have all gotten their "degrees" and earned other "credits" ... Learn from what they've put down in words on this board, and see if you can earn this diploma - there is no gentleman's "C", it's excellence or failure - period.
