SF is part of the Army and operates within the system, just not quite the same at the team level, and for some SF guys a lot higher. A senior SFC, set in his ways, can hit a team and all kinds of silly shit can break out. I've seen just about everything and I'd rather have a squared away PFC right out of the Q course assigned to my team then a squared away SFC right out of the Q course.

I knew of one guy that made the 8 list while in the course. I'll keep that story to myself, just let you think on it.
