Good to see older guys going through. Gives me hope since I'm the same age.

it's more about maturity, conditioning, endurance and wanting it than it is about sprint speed...luck helps, too...

Hey thanks for the link. My wife and I have been sitting here incommunicado with our son since he is in lock down at SFAS. This article is about the group he is going through selection with. Searched the photos but did not see him. But as a friend of mine said........no word from him during this phase is a good thing. So the article gave a brief glimpse into what he is going through, for that I am appreciative. May 17th cannot get here quick enough.
Any of you Quiet Professionals had or have a son in the pipeline?
Okay back to lurking.

LOL, you're reminding me of some fond SERE memories. (While I enjoyed most of the courses I've attended, two I would not wish to repeat is Special Forces Phase 1 and SERE school.)

Perhaps similar to Col. Rowe case when antiwar activist went to North Vietnam with a POW list complete with their ranks.

In the pictures, I saw two guys who were named with their photos. If I could, I would do my best to avoid that for the exact reason FrostFire asked about. That's why in alot of news stories our guys are only mentioned by first name. When I arrived at my first team the guys were definitely anti photo and it rubbed off on me.
Some good advice from a Team Sergeant of mine: Never take a picture you don't want to see on CNN and never send an e-mail you don't want to see in the Washington Post.

Absolutely can hurt in the long run. Great lengths are taken to "protect" identities in many assignments and any association with who we are and what we do.
