Needless to say I didn't get the slot.

The assignment was passed around between Groups. Mine was for the British SAS. They exchange with the Australian SAS also. It was a one year assignment. The one I tried out for was sprung on 7th Group at the last minute. One Officer and one Enlisted person were needed. They were told to Sh#@t two people by the next day.
I think that is how I almost slipped in. No one seemed to care that I had less then two weeks in Group. Someone above Group level probably would of stopped me from going, if they noticed that. Or a friend of a friend would of taken my slot. I only met one person who actually did it. They loved it. But the reason for having to be married. Apparently there are a lot of formal functions to attend. Also a Rumor about the last single guy who went was sleeping around a lot. How could you possibly represent SF without partying all night and sleeping with any woman who has a pulse, it's beyond me
