Since when did I become an "older gentleman"
I stand by my former post.
Individual arrogance and ego has it's place, but it isn't in front of team mates or other QP's-it's for when you are staring down a mission statement or an enemy. Boastful "me me me" comments and your foretelling of future events show you lack humility. I have seen others like you in the past when I was an Instructor at SWC-pushing students through the Q course....
you want the hat, not the job. Yes, YOU are NOT unique.
Tying to "wow the other students" with their prowess of shooting from this school or that school....arguing with the 18D over field medicine because they did this or that on the outside...complaining about how the instructors didn't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Eventually the OTHER STUDENTS get tired of hearing it and your reputation is then etched in granite should you graduate. Look at me everyone...LOOK AT ME! Congrats-you now have the spotlight.
You asked for an opinion. You don't like it? Tough.
The only statement that I posted earlier that has any potential for argument would be the final one noting you as a moron. That is certainly my opinion. However, it is one you have backed up quite nicely.
You can be the most hot shit shooter / medic / rock climber / scuba diving / freefalling ninja pirate on the planet-but if the rest of the team can't stand you...you and all your shit (and the ego that carried it) will be in the hall.

edited to add As far as "gracing any organization with your presence", you have no idea the caliber of men you would
be FORTUNATE enough to associate with IF you attended, and graduated, the Q. You are not special. In fact, you are all too common. Maybe you should START digging yourself out of your pit with that little tidbit of information.
