However, I have a feeling that most of the changes are related to his training and experience.

For the Quite Professionals and candidates, do you think the SF journey has changed you in any significant manner?

Not a bit. I'm still the same person as I was born. My talents are gifts from God and my parents, not because someone cut me a set of orders.

What the SF and Army has given me, however, was the opportunity to "Be All That I Can Be."

I have had some dark periods in my life, but the SF and Army were there for me always, without question, and so I learned what "loyalty" really means.

warrottjr,

If you read the orginal post (above) the individual asked the question of the "Special Forces" soldiers. Just an FYI.
