I don't necessarily mind, per se., but the clock is ticking (I'm 37 now) and I have a LOT of work to do to get back in shape.
In fact, I'd almost rather go through the 18X pipeline with the Prep Unit at Bragg. I'm definitely gonna need some time back in the woods. It is pretty amazing how perishable some skills are... I mean I don't even remember what my pace count was, let alone what it is now.
Thanks for the reply.

Do a search for the consensus here about age and SF.
IMHO, you missed it this time around. SF is a young man's game.
Even if you made it, think of your potential teammates and don't handicap an ODA with an inexperienced old man to drag around. There is no one on this board that I know of who made it into SF at 37 or later.
This topic has been flogged to death here.
