Thanks TS. I am glad someone said it.

It’s been so long since I went through the “Q”, giving you my play by play would not help you pass. Not only are the challenges different, the high tech gear is really high tech, the food is decent and there apparently is an endless choice of acceptable foot wear.

There is however, one remaining constant:
The guys who had what it took to pass 50, 30, or 10 years ago would be the same guys who have what it takes to pass today. Only the names and faces have changed. It’s a common denominator.

We have all seen smart, fit soldiers, in a singular moment of weakness, psych themselves right out of the course. But I do not remember anyone who graduated that conceived of quitting.

If you are not in that mind set, you need to get there.
Good luck,

LHC
