OP- I will not use your screen name, it's fallacious, self serving and as of this moment, I can see no reason that you have earned it, we have some Rock Stars on this board, but you'll have to figure out who those Studs and Stud-ettes are, they don't advertise too much - and those of us that do know what they've done and where, hold them in awe and treasure their camaraderie and in many cases, friendship.
1. Be honest with the membership and leadership of this board if you want help - lies by omission are as egregious as lies of commission. Anything that is germane to your situation, good or bad can be addressed and possible paths laid out for you to follow - waivers, training, education, usw - to help you achieve your goals - there are some pretty good people - well placed people here. Have Honor, Integrity and Duty as your key words.
2. Don't focus on the 'cool guy' stuff, each 25m target is important. You were an MP, fine - you want to be a Combat Arms guy now, fine - it's not about schools and badges and bling - it's about being a dedicated Infantryman or Cav Scout, and being outstanding at your job - then taking it to the next level. Period.
3. If you want to be taken seriously on this site, or as an NCO, you had better step up your writing skills, proper grammar, spelling, capitalization, usage and punctuation will make your intentions and communication much more clear and readable. And no bullshit about typing on a phone, it's not going to fly.
In conclusion - unless you've done something that besmirches our collective Honor, or your own - or have an unrecoverable medical issue - we'll give guidance for you to get to your goals. Remember, the core of this board is verified SOF, if that's one of your ultimate goals, you are in the right place for sure - if your goal is to just be the best at what you do, this is the right place for you.
Make your own decisions, make your own choices, make your own mistakes - but own all of them.
