To caveat on that ambition: I have been informed that although my packet is very strong, it is lacking the tactical leadership positions needed to be truly competitive. No problem. I (as well as most) have obviously joined this forum due to my interest in SOF. Furthermore, I feel that everything has a reason. I am going to train for a bit(a 3-4 month bit) and prepare myself for assessment down at my old stomping grounds.
I still intend to fly, and am currently(and have been for a while) pursuing a degree in professional aeronautics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and intend to complete this goal.
The reference to "my old stomping ground": I am going to attend SFAS, and if and when I earn that honor, I will gain plenty of operational tactical leadership background, and should I choose that I still want to fly for the Army, I will try again.
Lastly: Should I not cut the mustard for said plan, I will apply once again to WOFT next year, after attending as many leadership schools, and college courses as possible to enhance my standing. Should that not pull, well, lather, rinse repeat! Pt in the AM, time for bed.

So you think you are going to SFAS to polish your resume?
There are few, if any leadership opportunities there.
This does not strike me as a great plan.
