Thinking of joining Special Forces?
Want to earn the honor of wearing that Green Beret?
Then do yourself a favor, remove your MySpace.com and Facebook.com web pages.
Don’t want to or don’t care?
Fine.
But do not expect to ever be selected for any covert or clandestine missions, period. (It ain’t going to happen when millions already know your face and name.)
Oh, and those classified counter-terrorist units people whisper about. Forget it, not a snowball's chance in hell of you joining after posting your face and name all over the internet.
You had a web page and now removed it, you might still be able to join…but forget the classified missions or covert unit assignments. Again, it ain’t going to happen.
You do understand how Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc use the "archive mode" to save all your information, right?
We do…and our enemies do, too!

Just type in Professionalsoldiers.com right after the http:// on this web page:

Your MySpace.com and Facebook.com web pages will be on the internet for decades to come and you’ll continue to wonder, "Why didn’t I get selected for some of those classified missions?"
You can bet that every time one of you place your face on a web page and you state you just signed up to be an 18X, some hostile foreign intelligence service just made a file on you.
HOIS = hostile foreign intelligence service

You don’t have to believe me; you’ll know when you’re not selected to go on certain missions or refused to join some units.
OK, you’ve been warned and remember, "Life is tough but it’s tougher when you’re stupid."
This has been a Team Sergeant 18X public service announcement.
