Not to burst your bubble, but there is a world of difference between assured confidence, and arrogance. You have hardly proven yourself yet. We are looking for not just a strong back, but a sharp mind and the right psychology to go with it. Note that your spelling and grammar are not indicating a good intelligence and educational background. Situational awareness and attention to detail are key indicators.
SF is no cakewalk, Ranger or not. We will see if you still feel that way after SFAS and the SFQC are done with you. Then you MAY be qualified to comment on SF physical prep.
And no offense, but I note that that you are a spoon in a Batt, which does not exactly prepare you for the rigors of the SFQC (or an 18 anything) the way being an 11B in any infantry battalion would. And I have seen plenty of Batt boys sent home without being selected.
Best of luck regardless. You are going to need it, especially with your attitude.
