That's great cause the first time you jump off a BlackHawk into 2 feet of water carrying an M-240 or M-249 with a thousand rounds of ammo, grenades etc and find out the water is really 12 feet deep you will know what it is to be a SF soldier.

The first time I stepped off a Navy landing craft was after we "hit" a sandbar 100 meters from shore. I watched the first two guys "disappear" carrying the basic load of infantry equipment. I also "disappeared" for a minute while carrying the M-60 right behind them.....

If you do not learn to control your emotions they will control you. If you panic in SF at anytime you will be gone.
