I know the staff shouldn't dogpile on locked threads, but I'm a little irritated a bit of mentorship or guidance didn't occur, but I digress...
@Medford, you don't know what you don't know, but let me elaborate on
@x SF med's post:
Your life wants at 18, 22, 25, 30, etc. will change, especially early on. You have a tremendous number of hurdles to overcome to even be considered for SF. Injuries, you might suck at college, you might suck at being an officer, you might get a bad assignment as a PL or BN commander that hates you...sooooo many things can happen between now and when your year group is eligible to apply.
Would you go on a forum for fighter pilots and tell them you want to be a Blue Angel? Maybe you would, but it is a similar thing: so many top-level hurdles to clear before you can even drop your packet...only to be 26th on the depth chart in a year where they took 25.
Life happens. Focus on school and ROTC.
Good luck.
ETA: I'm not just calling out the staff, I'm talking about all of the vetted members in this thread or not. Any one of us could point out the OP has a lot of life ahead of him before he could even apply to SF. 18...the OP could obviously use a little life advice, probably because he's 18. How many of you were idealistic 18 YO's? Exactly.
We take pride in seeing members go from "zero to hero" and then threads like this appear. Slow clap...
