gents,

haven't read this board in quite some time...however i feel compelled to comment.

thanks to sfc murphy. please work thru him and he will square you away.

A/2/20 , SF in general, and indeed this great country of ours is in need of men who have what it takes... both physically and mentally. Let there be no doubt; our country is in need.

The news is full of stories of regular army active duty and arng soldiers serving their country and making a difference every single day. however, if you want to be a member of a small group of men. men who when called, act as force multipliers with an strategic impact far in excess of their numbers; then talk to sfc murphy.

if you decide to try out, do not expect handholding, a drill sergeant pushing you, or a squad of cheerleaders encouraging you. IF you make it, you will join a training team that will prepare to for the selection course. IF you make it through that, then you will attend the qualification course and then follow on training (TBD). IF you make it through that, then you will be placed on a team and expected to perform.

Once in the unit, you will have the opportunity for more training that any other class of unit in the ARNG. Guaranteed. Language training, shooting, close air support, jumpmaster (airborne school is a requirement and not really a big deal), SOTIC (sniper), SERE, etc. More schools pop up all the time.

You want to make a difference? Want to stand out and stand up and be counted?It's here. You just have to commit yourself and do it.

To be honest, very few make it through this process and become qualified. Thanks to all those who give it an honest try...However, the fact is that we see lots of individuals who "want to" but very few who "DO IT." Can You?

Think about it, and if it still sounds good to you, then call sfc murphy.
Good Luck!
