There are alot of guys who are here for the "CDI" factor.

During my time here in the SFQC I have had the opportunity to talk to a good many students, both in-service candidates and 18X's/REP-63's, and have found that an overwhelming majority of them have no idea what FID/UW entails. Yesterday I was speaking with a couple of the 18X's, who are going to Robin Sage, about different teams within an SF company and the two that interested most were DA and a SMU. When I asked why the answer seemed to always be, "why not, its cool." I find alot of my fellow students see FID as nothing more than being a Green Beret wearing Drill Sgt. I found this disturbing.

Again just an observation from this side of the fence.
