Selected!!!
 

Attended class 501-07 and got selected for 18E and Spanish. I leave here Thursday and will continue to train and prep for the mighty "Q". Don't have any dates yet, but I'm glad to have one foot in the door. Thanks for all the advice, all those long nights on this site helped a lot. :)

Congrats
 

Congrats, you've got your toe in the crack of the door.

Keep focused on the 25m target each step of the way for the rest of the trip through the Q Course.

Congrats! Good luck with the Q course.

Congratulations...you now have the ball; don't drop it....

Don't slack off on p.t. Worse thing you can do is assume the physical stuff is over with. You will get crushed in phase II if you're not in shape, not to mention your peer evaluations will go in the toilet if you can't perform to the same standard as your teammates. Food for thought.

Congrats. PM inbound...

Crip

Congrats and best wishes to you!

Congrats,
Hopefully I will be making the same post in the future! Good luck, I hope you succeed.

Congrats! Stay in shape...the rest of the 'Q' is no joke...

congratulations!

Selected
 

I too got selected and am now awaiting a date for the Q. I've got myself a broken foot to attend to in the mean time though. It'll give me plenty of time to start learning Chinese though. So all in all it's still good.

Well done that man.

Congratulations!!

Congrats!

Congratulations!

Congrats on step 1.
Selected only means that you still have numerous opportunities to fail. Keep your eyes and ears open, mouth shut, and focus on each 25m target as it presents itself... then possibly in a couple of years, you'll really get selected.

class 501-08
 

just got back from selection, new 14-day course, no joke! getting my feet x-rayed tomorrow. 18E, French. This site was a big help. Thank you QPs

We tried to warn guys not to get all excited about "the short course". :rolleyes: Congrats, heal up, and get back to work.

Selected
 

Also just got back with H8Leech...he is one strong mofo! Got selected, and I already got my Xray's. Bone scan in a couple days, I definitly got a good fracture from the trek. Thank you guys for feeding us good intel on success, Daver still says it best with DO YOUR BEST. It really is the best advice. I am already studying the language material...God help me with Thai!!

Bottom line...14 day course is NO JOKE. One thing I noticed though is that there is so little down time less people voluntary withdrawed, because they were so busy the didn't have time to doubt themselves! On to airborne and SUT, see you guys in the future.

What is the basis for your comparison and opinion?

TR

I didn't know they were still assigning Thai as a language. I thought they got rid of Thai along with German. Are they issuing German also?

SELECTED
 

Just returned from the 2nd 14 day SFAS and I got SELECTED. 18D-French (for now, changing to Arabic)-20th Group

Thanks for all of the help from everyone on this forum. It aided in making me as prepared as I could have been. I never thought anything could be that hard... you guys warned me.

First time selected?

Yes Sarnt

That's a case of beer.......;)

LOL!

Congrats peepee1!!

I went through selection September October time frame and they had Thai as a choice of language. They didn't have German though.

That's interesting. Anyways, congrats on being selected. Work hard and get on a team ASAP. We need well qualified SF NCO's.

Congratulations
 

Congratulations pepee1, I see by your public profile that you're assigned to the unit from which I retired. Make your own luck and get prepared for the "Q" course!

I also got selected in class 02-08. We probably had the worst weather in North Carolina history. Just about everyone had chilblain for a week after the freezing rain and snow during land nav but it was fun overall.

They gave me french and 18B. CLT is up next.

Grasshopper
 

Grasshopper you know not of what you speak. We have not had any bad weather yet this winter. That area has had a foot of snow more than once which troops were out there.

Amen.

And students injured when ice laden trees fell on them. The same storm knocked out the power at CMK so that there was no heat, hot water, or DFAC. "Here are your MRE's, men. Take care and try to stay warm."

Last summer, the temp at the Camp topped 108 three days in a row.

You were only there for 14 days, and have not seen bad weather yet. Wait till Phase II, when you are there long enough to live in the tents and appreciate it.

TR

We ordered that weather for your selection process, it assists in separating the men from the boys.

(When you break the ice on Drowning Creek inorder to swim across let me know.;))

Team Sergeant

TR,

I remember that summer very well. I was in Pineland during that time, and I think they said it was 4 to 5 days of 105+ degrees. Needless to say, I drank a lot of water...until I could remember what water tasted like.

Congradulations kinetik you stud!!!

Looks like you were in the last hard class!!!:D

Good luck gents.

I was there in FEB 1980; I thought the ice storms were ordered up to enhance the morning ruck marches. Any one remember getting caught in the rear with a 60 in that mess? Only had to bang the gates once... We also had more than a foot of snow during patrolling; we ended up humping back to CMC. They were able to get us back to Bragg three days later; we hit the weapons pool around 1800 and were released after 2400. The first day of phase two they could not keep us awake during IMC, sent us back to get some sleep. The calendar says that was a long time ago, some stuff still seems like yesterday.

Congrads to those selected, I am mentoring a young Soldier who should get there this summer, this site is pure gold.

Not being SF but having my fair share of poop for weather, it gets far worse. If and when you make it to the end of your training, you'll get to experience other fun places like the mountains of Afghanistan (also has some nice hot weather throughout the theater of ops) and our most recent vacation hot spot Iraq.

Yes it's cold, and it'll definately be hot. But there is always something worse. I'm humble and know I've got it good. Hmmm words have been posted before......goes a little like "Embrace the suck!!!"

Congrats to all for making it from that 50m target to the next..

I believe that was the selection class of Aug-Sept, if I am correct that was during my land nav portion of SFAS and I can say it was hot as hell( and I grow up in Phoenix). And when you tell your self it cant get worse it does :)

Another one
 

I was selected back in 02-08, haven't been online much since. Just returned from CLT last Friday. It's the recurring theme on the board not to take any part of training lightly, the same holds true for CLT. Everybody felt it, some folks got hammered- don't slack off after SFAS!
