Checking back in after being off the net for a while.

Welcome back, sir! Have you been having fun?!?

Wondered where you've been hiding. Welcome back.

Mostly pushing papers and a little bit of traveling with the Team...no complaints though.

Boot regulation still in at SFAS
 

Ive done the searching but have not found an answer to my question in the Get Selected book it says that sneaker boots are not authorized. While I was attending WLC at camp Williams I observed a non qual platoon training and noticed that a lot of the guys training had Nike SF boots ( a sneaker boot ) on while doing the Ruck march, so my question is has the regulation changed at SFAS? is it now aloud to wear that type of boot?

Thank you

There are no magic carpets, young Jedi. As the search should have revealed.

Wear what the Army issues you (i.e., an "issued boot"). With good socks and good insoles.

Best of luck.

And... please don't post the same question in multiple forums.

Thanks...

The link is dead here....

I finally had two nickles to rub together and ordered the book, looking forward to reading it!

EDIT: UPS delivered the book this morning and i just finished reading it, lots of very helpful hints and tons of motivation! Thank you, Warrior-Mentor for writing this book.

Just got the book in the mail today:D lots of really helpful hints, thanks warrior mentor!

Second One
 

Just bought my second book, the first one is now owned by a SPC in my unit who wants to go to SFAS when we get back.

Just purchased a copy. Thank you!

Quick Question for the Team Sergeant.
 

Team Sergeant,

I'm looking to go to Selection when CAL NG has a open spot. In the meantime I was looking to get a hold of a couple of buddies I lost track of from a 05' 06' deployment with 5th/CJSOTF @ Syverson. Any suggestions?

Contact Chapter 38 of the SFA @ Fort Campbell and ask them to help you get in touch with your buds.

Good luck,

One copy on the way.
 

I've just ordered a copy of "Get Selected! for Special Forces by Major Joseph J. Martin" and I must say that I am absolutely thrilled to read it! I hope the book makes it alive all the way to Denmark, our postal service does have a bad reputation. :)

If anyone else needs a copy I'll be glad to send them mine.

Book to Denmark
 

Bishop, mine came in a few days - i use Amazon.co.uk, as they are within the EU customs barrier.

If in stock, it often takes 2-3 days for a delivery from the UK, I never had any missing deliveries.

If it fails, write me a message if you are in urgent need - otherwise I can bring it to NightHawk.

Regards
Michael

Sir, wonderful book. Thank you!

Received my book and will begin reading tonight. :munchin

Got the book from BooneGA, and have read it at least 3 times thus far.. The tips in there are indispensable. Some of the stories about the history of Special Forces are really enjoyable to read.

Read the book tonight for the first time and took some notes, going to read it several more times. I also can not access warrior-mentor.com for some information referenced in the book, I attempted to send Warrior Mentor a PM but his inbox is full. Did the site move?

Great read
 

I read this book prior to heading off to SFAS. It proved to be helpful in my preparation for the course, it’s not the only book I read or the only research I did before attending. I was selected in September of this year and will be attending the “Q” after I get back from my current deployment. One of my guys is wanting to attend SFAS when we return stateside, I recommended this book as a must read. Another great read that I can’t speak highly enough about is CHOSEN SOLDIER, the making of a Special Forces soldier by Dick Couch. It gave me an insight of what to expect while in SFAS and after. I’ve been told that’s the easy part, after that the hard part starts (SFQC) and I can’t wait to get started!

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!

The site is no longer active. It's been down for a while.

Just ordered the book through specialops.org.
