Your 35 yo,, have a couple kids, and I assume a happy wife, You own several Bike shops and have never spent time in the service. And you just joined the site.
Your question make no sense whatsoever... If you had/have done any reading..
You need to do lots of reading...
I would suggest you start with "Horse Soldiers" by Doug Stanton, "The Extraordinary Story of a Band of US Soldiers Who Rode to Victory in Afghanistan".
Not only do SF drive their own vehicles,, they also shoe their own horses, and pack their own mules. We actually have animal husbandry classes when & where needed.
I am not going to ask why you asked.. I will assume it was an effort to gather historical significant back ground information for a book you might write and NOT because your looking to become a "GREEN BERET DRIVER"..

Thank you Sir JJ_BPK.
I am looking to enlist 18X. I should have done this six years ago before starting and taking over my Fathers business.
My wife knows what I want to do in life and it is not running a retail business.
I have been reading a lot of books, but did not cross the one you mention. I will pick up a copy of the above mentioned book and do some reading, it is all I do lately and I enjoy it!
Oh one quick note, had they allowed me an Option 40 six years ago I would have taken it. They would not guarantee me at the time that option as it was not available.
I am working as hard and quick as possible to get my chance at my dream.
I will not live the rest of my life with the fact of "I should have or I could have done this". It is time for me to do what I need to do.
This site is a great tool and hope to take full use of it over the next few months to help me gather what I need to give my self the best shot at making it through SFAS and on.
For me, I enjoy driving and wanted some further information on it. It would be great to be an ODA driver and I will take it if and when I get the chance.
Thank you again to all that have posted replies.
