Hello random American civilian that is thinking of joining the Green Berets !!!
I too, played Soldier when I was young. When I grew up, I joined the military and learned that, as a Green Beret, you’ll be an expert in guerrilla warfare and use unconventional tactics to take on missions abroad.
I too, identify as male and my pronouns are he/him/his - but it doesn't really matter, those barriers have been removed...
...besides, you cant help who you love.
I am straight
...well, there was that one time when I went on leave in Thailand, gut drunk, and woke up with a tattoo on my face and some compromising photos on my phone, but the photos have been deleted, and there are no living witnesses of the events that took place that night - but again, it doesn't really matter, those barriers have ALSO been removed !!!
...never mind, I've already said too much.
Moving on.
I too, went to Catholic School. It's one of the reasons my earlobes are different sizes - the Nuns didnt take ANY shit - and I was a bit of a disciplinary problem in elementary school
What's that got to do with my earlobes you ask?
...a Catholic Nun school teacher in the 1970's had no problem grabbing your earlobe and using it as leverage to drag you form the classroom, down the hall, down two flights of stairs, and into the principles office, so that Sister James could wear that ass out with a wooden ruler.
...what I'm trying to say is that those Nuns didn't take ANY shit.
Moving on.
I am not "from" the countryside - I actually grew up in the inner city
BUT
...my grandparents - oddly enough, lived in the sticks in Pennsylvania. I spent a few of my summers there as a way for my parents to keep me out of trouble.
...not that it is pertinent but they had a goat
...her name was Rosey
...she dd not like to be fucked with
...I learned that early
Moving on.
I participated in high school sports and I liked to 'rassle (those activities are not necessarily mutually exclusive). Regardless, I was not a "jock" when I joined the Army but I could run like a scalded...
... not sure where I'm going with this, I'm just assuming that there is a type of animal known for running fast that is also known for running REALLY fast when it is scalded.
...a scalded dog maybe
...or a scalded goose
...or a goat
...who knows, I'm starting to ramble
Anyway, I am always happy to help stimulate the recruiting effort in a way that keeps my beloved Regiment healthy and thriving. Even when the original poster seems to be putting off a bit of a "troll" vibe. So here are a few pointers:
- Use Google and learn about
US Army Special Forces.
- Start Doing PT
- Become familiar with the
requirements to apply for Special Forces training.
- Keep doing PT
- Talk to a Special Forces Recruiter
More importantly, I'd like to offer you two bits of advice that will go a LONG way - and this is only my opinion based on my experiences visiting and posting on this website and seeing how quick things go sideways when somebody starts a new thread with, "
Hello Everybody, I'm thinking of becoming a green beret" instead of using the search function. Especially when they deliberately post inaccurate information to their profile and then make excuses about why they did it...
...because that shit will get you kick out of SOPC/SFAS/SFQC long before your first Team Sergeant gets the chance to boot you off the detachment for being dishonest and untrustworthy.
So, here it goes, TWO important things to remember while clicking through this website on your road to trying to earn an itchy wool hat:
