[18e.wannabe]

Hello.

I am a current 42A SGT who intends to become an 18E Special forces communication Sergeant. I am 21 years old and enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2019 as a Human Resources Specialist.

I love to be active, run, ruck, and otherwise compete with my peers. I jump at the chance to compete in Best Warrior/NCO Competitions, PT Competitions, Timed rucks, etc.

These past three years have led me to the realization that I want more from a job than a desk and a 9 to 5. I want to do something with no guarantee of success with people who strive for excellence.

I attended SFAS in June of 2022 with the result of a gate 1 involuntary withdrawal. It was due to a personal lack of preparation. I won't hide my mistakes during my first train up. Nutrition was horrible and I didn't even consider how sleeps affected my body. On top of that, with my main weakness of pushups I tried to spend so many hours in the gym that I neglected simple calisthenics.

I intend to return in March and have since taken my training much more seriously. I now track my nutrition/macros to the gram, apply habits for healthier sleep, and now work with a Navy Seal Officer with a degree in physiology to help plan and execute my workouts based on my weaknesses and strengths.

If anyone has any specific questions about how I would've better prepared for SFAS please feel free to reach out.
