that said, your odds of getting commissioned are better than your odds of making it through SFQC...nothing personal, that's just the way it is...
life has plenty of forks in the road...do you want to be an officer or do you want to be an SF soldier...? nothing easy along either path...
BTW, this is not new ground...this has to be the bazillionth time this question has been asked...

Well sir, should I decide that being an SF soldier is something I want more than being an officer, I will do so fully willing to accept the consequences should I not make it through.
No disrespect to the officer corps intended, but should I decide to sign the ROTC contract, I want it to be because it is what I want, and not because it was the easier of the two paths. A platoon deserves their lieutenants full attention, and too much is at stake for a PC to spend his time wondering "what if."
Either way, sir, I appreciate your frankness, and your time, in spite of my redundancy.
