[Shark Bait]

Jo Sul and I both currently work in the OCS program for the NM Guard. He is a TAC Officer and I am currently the primary instructor. My first weekend working with them was particularly tough on the candidates. They were totally ate up and earned some healthy reaming. They did many push-ups and low crawled a great deal in payment for their transgressions.

Later in class, the candidates were all feeling pretty whipped, complete with dirt in their teeth. One candidate, whose only military experience is that of an Army band member, asked me "Sergeant, have you ever done anything this hard?". This generated several chuckles from the other candidates. Yes, my SF tab and Combat Divers badge were on my uniform.

This also reminds me of another incident that I believe Sandytroop is familiar with. A young soldier asked an SF soldier what Special Forces were, having seen his tab. He replied that he issues basketballs at the gym. (AKA, Special Services)
