[drawbreaker]

The first try was a med drop. They said I fell out with a high core temp. I really don't remeber much. The second time I broke my ankle getting lost in Hoffman. It was the third night and the docs said it wasnt bad enough for a med drop, but because land nav was over, and I had been picked up off the course I had to sign a VW statment. On the third attempt, I was in the top percentile I'm pretty sure (except for Nasty Nick), was a hut leader, posted high run times, high ruck times etc. I was doing pretty well up until the last night of the star. It was wet, I was tired and not paying attention. I went up a draw on my feet and came down on my neck. (I feel like a real puss typing this now by the way). The Cadre talked to me afterwards and told me to reapply in six months to a year.
The endsate of the matter is this; It was concentrating on the tab and beret too much and not paying enough attention to what I was actually doing. Stupid, rookie mistakes and not enough concentration is why I didn't make it. Going too fast, thinking I knew it all because I had "Been there before". Dumb Mistakes. I truly hope to gain the experience and maturity in the next few years so that I can go back and get it done. Until then, I'll just sit back and learn all I can from this site.
