I have read hundreds of posts here, but obviously not all of them. In time I will have read more. I have only known about this forum for a short while. If there is a particular thread that would answer my questions then point me in that direction.
Deano:

Do not take this the wrong way, but we are looking for people who have good situational awareness and who do not require close personal supervision.

Essentially, what I am saying is that in addition to the physical fitness, which we can train most people to meet, and intelligence, we are also looking for people who can operate on their own, are self-starters, pay attention to details, and are self-motivated.

If I have to look up the threads for you and direct you to them, you have already missed the mark.

You have still not filled out your profile as we request all members to do. This reflects a lack of situational awareness.

When compounded with your age, this does not look promising.

Best of luck.
