I too must apologize in advance for taking more than I can give, while prior service I have no operational experience in SOF. I have had the opportunity to train under several ex-SF and Navy SEALs, and having several NCO's who had attended SFAS and/or the Delta "try-outs"(I apologize for my ignorance re: SFOD-D and its terminology). Those NCO's were great leaders and were a great source of intel and advice.

I had a SFAS packet in the works back in 2003 at Ft Hood when I sustained a minor head injury which resulted in a seizure. A year and a half later, due to a med board, and despite my best efforts to stay, I became a reluctant civilian.

Unfortunately, between several conditions I currently experience(the condition previously mentioned is no longer an issue), I do not think SF is a reality for me right now. Down the road, I may find myself in uniform once again, whether it be active duty, guard/reserve, or in service with a Federal agency. Until then, I'll continue to hone my mind and body for what may come. As with all things, time will tell. The men and women in service will continue to receive my support, while I'm in the rear with the gear.

I will be reading far more than I will be posting, and I want to thank you for allowing me a glimpse into the SF mindset and mentality. I will keep OPSEC in mind at all times. Thank you again, for all that you do for our country. God Speed.
