I quoted this so it couldn't be deleted.
You are asking about SFAS and I tend to stay out of these debates as I am not an SFAS Selectee. Having worn a uniform however and been around SF I do think I am qualified to lend the following insight:
I think you haven't the slightest idea about the military, much less SF. You're gonna get raped.
Good luck.
Spartan... Why dont you leave the dispersal of advice to those who have the knowledge and first hand experience to back their advice.
You have neither of the previously mentioned.
Now go do PT.
Crip
Its not like I don't have a clue of what Im talking about....was just trying to help.
And if you actually read what I said....It says that he should listen to you guys....almost sounds like your trying to start a controversy...
I think that is a great idea!!
Damn, some of you need to get your ego's in check. I took Spartan's post to just be his opinion, without claiming a military background. Not everyone is a superstud going into the military. I couldn't even make it a mile on the first PT test. And I was already contracted to go into the 82nd. Had that patch on and everything. The Drills made my life a living hell after that. But in the end I was one plane jumpin, ruck humpin, pig totin motherfucker. Will our new 18X make it to the Q course? Statistical odds are that he won't, but odds have been proven wrong before. I hope the fucker makes it and comes back here and laughs his ass off.

Yes it is like you don't have a clue what you are talking about. Reading about or talking to someone about a given subject does not qualify you to hand out advice on said subject. Continue to prep yourself for your journey and leave the mentoring to those with the first hand knowledge to support it.
I actually read what you said. I am starting nothing; I am simply telling you to its generally considered poor practice to offer advice on subjects you don't have first hand knowledge of, especially given the fact that several others of us (SF soldiers) have given the young lad advice on the subject.
Any questions??
Crip
Sounds good
SO-
Of course it sounds good, it's true.
I have to agree with Crip here. You have NO experience other than MEPS, you strayed way out of your lane. If you try to sharpshoot or argue with one of the cadre in RIP/ROP the way you did with Crip, you will have your ass handed to you. Bad Idea, instead, go for the 'Grey Man' concept.
I'm not just giving you this advice because Crip is another SF guy, 18D, or my friend - it's because this little piece of advice will save you some pain in your early military career - look, listen, learn; those are your goals for the first 24 months of your service, if you do that, you will see who and what you want to emulate, and become an outstanding soldier.
Go do PT and focus on the multiple 25m targets ahead of you.
Rangers? Sure. Marines? Easy. Forces? Gimme another year. I'll be there.
