Most of you know that I've been on here since before I enlisted (about three years), and you know how much I have utilized this site and appreciated the knowlede base it affords me access to. Some of you also have met me in person and know my personal views on how well this site is moderated, and how due to that moderation it is a much better resource than certain other SOF centic sites. Again, no disrespect meant.
As far as the Batt comments, no, I haven't. I'm assuming that you were refering to my comment that "if you want it bad enough, you should do fine". While I DO NOT think that "wanting it" bad enough will get you success in either unit, I do think that it is a necessary place to start. If I came across as infering that simply "not quiting" was enough to qualify (which is obviously not true), I again apologize and meant no disrespect.
So, how bout this weather!!! (As everyone looks up, dives in to foxhole...)  |
First, you didn't use a smiley, you used a frowny. The name of it is actually "Mad".
Second, if you report into a Batt, and tell them that you are there for a few years on your way to SF, I can virtually guarantee that you will not make it though RIP. Bad advice.
What was that comment about staying in your lane, and not continuing to dig once you realize you are in a hole?
