Humbug!!

What has changed? The fact that I didn't have a "Tab" or Special Forces career field? Not only was I expected to be proficient in my MOS but also in that of all personnel on the team. When asked what I did in the Army I answer that I was in Special Forces -- period. Not that I was an intermediate speed radio operator or later, a radio operator supervisor. Some missions have changed, but so have the times.. Special Forces are flexible and adapt to new missions. It could be said that I was an infantry, recon squad leader in Vietnam -- not my MOS.

It has changed a little bit from back then. Now everyone is expected to be a shooter first, and then their MOS second. Even then, you may be a good shooter, but heaven forbid, if you can't do your job when the time comes. You need to be technically and tactically proficient, not only at you MOS, but at all aspects of being a special forces soldier. [/QUOTE]
