I think I threw up a little in my mouth reading that.....

Since this is on an open thread let me just say to all of you WHO ARE working on getting through the course......

1. Its a course, its basic skills for SF, take it as a stepping stone and make a decision to master what you have been taught

2. Completion of the course allows you to be given a key to the door, which lets you in the SF house. Its there with your team mates and mentors etc where the REAL education begins.

As a parting comment ALL of us with some rank were young SF guys at one time. We all knew EVERYTHING and had all the opinions that go with it. However, its that one day in combat or that one day in the middle of a third world country that YOU have to make it happen and it all "clicks" and you say to yourself ......"Wow that SGT wasn't so jacked up as I thought and MAN do I have a lot to learn..."
