Had a few SOPC kids show up at my last platoon. Everyone of them were in terrific shape, but they all had issues, a chip on their shoulder, and generally ran their suck way too much. Not a single one of them went to Ranger School or did anything of significance.
My advice to someone that washes out of the 18X program and is sent to an infantry platoon is to simply keep your mouth shut about any and everything related to do with your time in the program and focus on being an infantryman. Go to Ranger School, RSLC and every other suck school you can. Don't even think of SFAS until you have established yourself as a solid infantryman.
