What do you think he meant by that phrase - given the context of the rest of his remarks?

I should have been more clear in what information I was looking for. My logic has always been that if I am not selected, the challenges placed on me at SFAS would allow me to become a better infantryman. My goal has been to show up, do my best, not quit, and if I am not selected, I am no worse off than if I had just enlisted as an 11x. And their are always other options.
I do not understand why someone would use "I went to SFAS" as a badge of honor. To me, I just look at it as an oppurtunity to get involved in something that I enjoy doing, and being around people that have a similar mindset that I do. Maybe I do not see it as a big deal because of the way I view SFAS. It's like trying out for the Olympics. Anyone can try out for the Olympics, but the act of trying out doesn't make you an Olympic level athlete.
