My LT passed SFAS and starts the Q this Spring and I have 3 guys going from the Scouts in January.
With that said, three things will happen if/when this chick gets her tab;

1. I will send her mine because I'll never fucking wear it again
2. I will advise Joe's to go to MARSOC
3. I will begin prepping my 17 y/o son to either go to MARSOC or CCT/Para rescue.

I'm sure I sound like a dick but this women passing Selection is a set up. I finished SFAS with a broken foot and wrist, both occurred on day one of team week in 1990. There is no fucking way she made it through SFAS as it was, some scumbag senior officer and CSM's changed standards, events, or lower requirements and this is the end result. I'd say shame on them for this but I imagine shame is something incomprehensible to them.

So to her I say good luck, you have damaged a Regiment founded out of conflict by men that you will never work with for they will go to units that have not sold their souls, not yet at least.

To the guys responsible for this, I work very hard not to damage my Karma by trying not to wish you a painful and well deserved death with eternity spent in hell, however, I am finding that very difficult.

You don't have to lower the standards when you flat out change them...
