Agreed. Age is nothing but a number. At 36 I can still run circles around some younger Soldiers. My mistake was waiting to long. Promotions came quickly for me. Before I knew it I was an E-7 with too much TIG, and every SF recruiter I talked to told me that there were no waivers for guys like me. I understood the thought process, laced up my boots and moved on. I've decided to take a different path out of conventional forces, but if I could do it all over again things would be much different. My advice to anyone considering going to selection is to not sit there and ponder, but start preparing yourself mentally and physically, jump on the first opportunity and just get it done. Otherwise you'll always wonder what could've been.
