AGREED!!! HEAR HEAR!!!!

Most excellent that you saw this early and didn't waste a training slot where someone else who "wantstogoSF" actually MIGHT. Kudo's to you.


On the next forum you register for, you ought to consider changing your sign on name to "Iwouldabeen" and insert whatever your flippant long term goal of the week was going to be.

These people are encountered frequently outside of Communities like Special Forces:
"I woulda been SF BUT..."
"I woulda gone to Ranger school BUT..."
"I woulda gotten through SFAS BUT..."

You will be in good company.


The alternative would be for you, an individual with a stated goal coming here seeking information and guidance, to accept the fact that YOUR way of doing it is not the ACCEPTED way of doing it in this environment. That you would need to ADAPT to your situation and place YOUR GOAL above YOUR EGO (Mr. "I have never failed").
You are demonstrating a child like "I don't like your rules so I am taking my glove and going home" - which is all well and good if WE needed your glove. We don't.

Whether you stay or go - WE don't care.

But YOU should...

Think about it.
