My own copy
 

Received my copy Wednesday in the mail, about 2 days ahead of when I thought it would show up. I can't put it down. Thank you for the great resource as I am sure it will be a great asset while I prepare.

Warrior-Mentor:


Thank you very much for taking the time putting in the effort to put Get Selected together. I believe the knowledge I have gained from the book will help me a great deal, not only when I get to SFAS, but from the spot I stand now.

WM,

Received my receipt for my recent donation and the privilege to have given.... :lifter But what really made me feel good was that my Coach Mike Ditka was a sponsor and supporter of the program........ :D Big Mike is a living legend in the hearts of all Chicago Bears fans.... :) He is the kind of guy who is made of the "right stuff"..... ;)

Big Teddy,

Da BEARS! Great to have guys like him and Tiger and Phil Mickelson, the NY Yankees, etc on board.

Glad you got the receipt...I take it you got the book as well?

Cheers,
Joe

Just a FYI the link is dead/outdated on http://www.warrior-mentor.com/ It leads to http://www.specialops.org/news.asp#book while it should lead to http://www.specialops.org/?page=GetSelected

I bough the book and I'm looking forward to reading it.

Being a Canadian non-citizen/non-green-card holder my chances of making it one day in the pipeline are very slim but anyway I'm sure it'll be a goldmine of good info (especially on PT/rucking/foot injuries/mental conditioning/etc)..

Just Finished Reading....
 

Get Selected a few days ago, and I myself could not put it down. I have since put on order several of the titles recommended by Lt. Col Martin, as I am sure they will also be usefull tools in my preparation for SFAS. I am actually re-reading Get Selected and highlighting all they key points I feel I need to remember the most. Thanks again for the great advice Warrior Mentor.

Got the book in the mail two days ago. Read it in short order. The author claims that it's an easy read and full of the information that you would give to your kid if he wanted to go to SFAS.

It is.

The book is solid. On a first time through ( I'm going through with a little more detail now) the most striking thing was how you phrase a question. Instead of asking "CAN" I complete SFAS/Q, ask "HOW" can I complete SFAS/Q. I tell you, when you change all those "cans" to "hows" it instantly boosts your confidence and optimism.

Who would have thought that one little word could make such a difference.

Thanks for a great resource!

Where will we be in 20 Years?
 

Been working the numbers to see where GET SELECTED is and where we'll be....

looks like could break $200,000 in total donations to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation this year!

This is 20% of the way to ultimate goal...it's taken 5 years to get this far...will keep chipping away at it...

I've read through this entire book twice and reference to it constantly. It's a great book!

I bought 2 copies of this book.
One was for my father, who was very curious about the entire process.
The other was for me, of course. :p

Very enjoyable and informative read. It will remain nearby for a while.

Thank you Warrior Mentor, for this wonderful piece of work! The book is a great read, and I enjoy all the workouts. :lifter

Thanks for the great resource, sir. I'm making my way through the reading list and it's really helping me internalize what you discuss in Get Selected!

Putting in an order for one book. Thank you

Sir,

Thank you for taking the time to compile the imperative information found in GET SELECTED!. I have read GET SELECTED! several times, and continue to do so. I have purchased all recommended titles for further reading. Again, thank you, Sir.
