I am a 19 year old who recently graduated high school. Donning the Green Beret has always been the main goal through thick and through thin throughout my life, especially since my Grand Father told me stories of his experiences in Vietnam growing up. I am a helluva athlete and would have gone Division One for football had i not have torn my labrum junior year (I have gone about talking to the military Doctor and I am recovered enough that a waiver isn't needed), and I wish to study Philosophy here and abroad someday. I am joining this website because the men who have worn the green beret in the past and those who are still wearing it are my heroes and they have a seemingly infinite supply of knowledge that I would love to acquire. I have scored a nearly perfect APFT and got a 95 on my asvab. Currently debating whether I want to workout and truly push myself for 10 more months and enlist with an 18x contract (thinking of hoofing it down the coast with a couple bucks and my balls and transforming myself from a kid to a real man through the hardships I will face) or just pick whatever MOS will be the most efficient for a path to SF and enlist right now. Any information is good information. Cheers
