I speak two languages already. and would love to learn a third. I would be an extreme asset to ANY organization I grace with my help.
so instead of making ill-informed comments about me not wasting a Q slot, why dont you act like a professional and give some straight answers.....Or was I wrong about SF being full of professionals?
I have seen a lot of physically fit, intelligent, well-trained, well-educated candidates fall by the wayside. Quitting the Army after completing SFAS strikes me as strange as well.

Your bluster, brags, and arrogance do not impress me. You asked for opinions from QPs, and you got them.

SF soldiers also have to be aware of their operational environment, culturally sensitive, and situationally aware. They also realize that arguing with an SF-qualified moderator in the Box right now who is also a former 18D is probably ill-advised.

Your failure to read before posting, to fill out your profile as requested, to introduce yourself, or to understand that we are intolerant of arrogant kids leads me to believe that you are ill-suited for SF service or as a member of an ODA.

People who wish to be SF soldiers understand that it isn't all about them, it is about the team.

You stick with school and forget SF until you understand these points. Good luck.
