Your 25m target is enlisting. On a UK-D range, SFAS is somewhere between the 175 and 200m line. Pretty far away considering your position at this time.
Right now, 18X isnt an option for you. You can continue to moan about it or you can pony up and enlist into the Infantry, or any other MOS, and learn alot about yourself, being soldier, and the military while you wait for the chance to attend SFAS. Your time waiting would be better spent taking the fight to the enemy than sitting in some office working for a recruiter. No time learning to be an asset to your future team (if you get there) is a waste.
Also, there are quite a few 30+ y/o guys in the Infantry who thought they had what it took to be SF too. Infact I know of two guys who were dropped from the SFQC and sent to the 82nd for a couple years. They are back in the SFQC again and both of them are better for having been to the "line." I am sure they will be bringing something to their future teams because of their time well spent as well...
The 'I will be 30 and dont want to spend my time with a group of 18-19 y/o's' argument is petty to say the least. Those young troopers are out there shooting bad guys in the face everyday. Next time you may want to consider they are doing the deed while you are still talking about it.
