I think about going to SFAS every, single, day.
I know that is the wrong answer. You do not "think" about it. It has to be from within, without question, without doubt, nothing is more important. I know this. One reason why I haven't pulled the trigger yet is I intend on submitting a Green to Gold packet for FY15, and keep telling myself that I could then later on become an 18A, instead of the enlisted route. This may or may not be just me holding back and coming up with an excuse, over analyzing myself, self doubt, all those awful things.

The odds of you being chosen to attend SFAS as an officer are tremendously lower than the odds of you making it by going to SFAS as an EM.
Many excellent CPTs have been non-selected by the 18A Board for an attempt at SFAS.
