One of the things that scared me away from Special Forces in the beginning was that you have to get "selected." I didn't like the idea that I could give it all I got, never give up, and still not make it.
Of course it's a risk, and of course you're not going to be comfortable with it. It's the same fear every wannabe Green Beret, Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, Air Force PJ, Marine Force Recon, etc. soldier must face, but keep this in mind. "Only by great risks can great results be achieved."

Do you want to be a Green Beret bad enough to risk failure? Besides, if/when you do make it to a team you'll be risking more than that.
