Gentleman,
A little context and then a quick question:
I’ve been on this board before describing my indecisiveness in life. Despite doing very well for myself academically since leaving active duty, I constantly have a yearning to return to the Army and become Special Forces-qualified. The urge is especially intense on nights like this when I find myself unable to sleep and, randomly reading about 5th Group lineage in Vietnam...
The question:
Is the PROFESSIONALISM in Group all I expect it to be? Honestly.
I am at the age and maturity level that should I return to active duty, I would be doing so as a desired career choice. While I am happy to throw back cold ones with the boys, I find it more important to be surrounded by like-minded individuals focused on being the most that they can be professionally for their ODA. I expect this professionalism to be abundant in Group, but then again, I have spent four years being greatly surprised with the ways the Army can disappoint.
I hope this isn’t insulting; not my intent. I just want to verify that the professionalism so associated with Group sill exists, as its presence would play a large factor in my possible return to duty.
Thank you!
With Respect.
