Okay, listen to this.
Read all of the stickies and Intros, post an Introduction in the proper place before you post again, read The Book and the SWCS prep manual and follow them all.

Don't quit and if you haven't read the book yet, PM and I"ll let you borrow my copy.

Thanks everyone for the congrats. Dont really have any stories to tell, but one guy did literally walk the bottom of one of his feet off, but he stuck it out and got selected. Ive got alot of respect for that guy.
