I'm a high school senior interested in the military and special forces specifically. I am here to gather information about special forces in general as the information I gather through web searches is insufficient for my purpose (determining what kinds of people can succeed in and enjoy special forces work, and by extension, determining whether I am or am not one of those kinds of people). I understand that I am an outlier here (young and non-military); I hope not to be an intrusion.

Less Relevant Personal Information:
I am applying to the Naval Academy, West Point, and Princeton. If accepted to Princeton I may do ROTC.
I participate in Cross Country, Soccer, Swimming, a martial art descended from Robert Bussey, and AJROTC.
I get A's and A-'s in AP and Honors classes.
I am a Caucasian male.
 
Welcome to ShadowSpear!

Sounds like you have a plan which puts you way ahead of many of your peers. Stick to it and enjoy life. The rest will work itself out in due time.

The only relevance to this information is that you thought it was. Please check your attitude, we don't care the color of your skin and if it is important to you than the military is not for you. Once you manage to join our ranks your skin color forever more shall be green.

I in no way wished to imply any sort of racism. I'll remember not to mention race in the future.

Better yet - wipe it from your brain. You aspire to be in the Special Operations world - they work in/with many different cultures/ethnicities. Just remember we is all human and bleed red.
