You're probably thinking "oh god, he posted AGAIN!" when reading this. Just realize that this is sincere, and rather than leaving this thread to die, I have to fully apologize for everything that has happened and leave on a good note.
I see what this is all about now. Thank you for your patience, as I have learned a lot today. Wish me luck,

IF you ever make it into the US military, people are going to tell you to do a lot of things that you may not like. Some of them may even involve putting your life at risk.
Rather than be a Generation Why (or Whine) problem to your leaders, you must learn to quit trying to be the center of attention, constantly asking for things, and to shut up, roger up, and cowboy up.
When the Tac tells you to be on the road in front of the gate in 5 minutes, jocked up, with 50 pounds in your ruck, he does not need to hear anything from you but "Roger".
If your Team Sergeant tells you to get on the .50 right now and put suppressive fire on the enemy up the hill, it is not time for a conversation or questions. STFU and get on it.
People who like to ask excessive questions or talk too much are not going to be making it into SF. Remember the Duke's advice: "Talk low, talk slow, and don't talk too much."
The attitude you are displaying right now is narcissistic, insecure, immature, and will cause you to have trouble with Basic Training, much less the SFQC.
Honor your promise to refrain from posting for a while, and you will find that you learn more with your mouth closed than with it open. Listen to what the guys who are what you want to be are telling you.
A reply to this is neither necessary, nor desired.
Good luck, and have a very SF day.
