The langauge side, when you start looking at OPI/DLPT scores, SF isn't doing good. The main issue with this is our size. When you take a 100% out of 10k to the 100% out of 5K of the SEALs then throw in MARSOC. A SF Regiment numbers or present ages suck. Yet when you're doing a Ppt briefing and it's all about numbers. That's what is being seen. When SF NCOs don't care about lanaguge and when unit Command and the guys on a ODA don't care about UW and lanaguge, there isn't much that will change.
I've always said that Afghanistan was the best UW exercise going on. Yet whe you try to brief things in UW terms and with that kind of vision, SOTF Commanders and CSM don't see it that way. We have Team Sgts and TM LDRs that have only seen a DA world and they will be in those Company Commander positions shortly and we can only hope that a SGMS/CSM can school them. Yet as TM SGT, IMO they didn't even know how to fill in their "whitespace" and had to have POIs made for them. It took SF 4 to 6 to become DA focused, well it will take that long for us to start think in UW terms.
MaxTab,
Are you stating this or is this from somewhere?
BaHaha now this is funny stuff.

No it is a quote from the link, about the seals. I'm not stating anything, it is all from sofrep.
