Amazing!

Right on. It's tough to find great shots of SF guys in action that have been released to the public. When we were designing the cover, I personally went though EVERY photo that the Army had released publicly on their web site (there were over 1,700 photos if I remember correctly).
He looks like somebody who'd have no problem with Selection. Rangers historically have the highest success at SFAS.
I give credit on the Copyright Page to him as a NCO from 10th Mtn.
Didn't know his name, but the shot was too good to pass up.
If you PM me with his name and address, I'll get him a copy in the mail.
Thanks,
