For a few years in the early to mid 90's SIGDET 3/20 produced as many 18E's as the BN's regular NQP pipeline. Your detractors fail to understand that one of SF’s strengths lies in the diverse backgrounds of those going to the Q Course and that they will bring that experience with them to an ODA.
Good luck! With your shield or upon it.

Welcome aboard, best of luck.
If you would like some free advice, I recommend that you get off the net and on PT for the days you have remaining, without injuring yourself.
Take good care of your feet in particular.
Don't be late, don't be light, and don't be lost.
Stay out of the draws whenever possible, and off the roads at all times.
Follow all instructions to the letter, maintain good Situational Awareness, do everything you are told to do to the best of your abilities, be a good leader when you are a leader and a good follower when you are a follower, and help your buddies when you can.
Be free with praise and motivation, keep your complaints and fears to yourself.
Never, ever quit. Your mind will fail before your body does.
Good luck.
TR

I would have thought the pain would be in your feet, you'd better have that looked at if it's radiating that far.

it is a foot problem
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. It occurs when the long, flat ligament on the bottom of the foot (plantar fascia) stretches irregularly and develops small tears that cause the ligament to become inflamed. This inflammation is caused most often by walking with an abnormal step (abnormal inward twisting of the foot, called pronation). Over time, this slightly abnormal step may increase tension on the plantar fascia and cause it to become inflamed.

Introduction
Greetings everyone,
Just a quick intro. I'm a 24 year old civilian with no prior military experience.
I'm scheduled to get my bachelor's degree by Nov. 05 and am interested in becoming an officer in the Army and eventually 18A in SF.
That's about it. I'll be lurking...
Regards,
Aric
P.S. Oh yeah, I'm registered at SOCNET under aricbcool as well.

Hello all, made my first post, so I figured I should probably come in and make my introduction.
I'm 21, from Phoenix, AZ, and looking to sign an 18X contract in the coming few years (degree first). PT'ing daily, and religiously! Love all the information on the site, and will continue to soak up as much of it as possible.
