Great stuff
I must say how truly inspired I am from reading this thread. I am reminded of the prophetic words of the SWCS CDR spoken at my Q-Course graduation---"Gentlemen, you will earn your beret everyday for the rest of your lives."
To the candidates, you have a tremendous resource in the Quiet Professionals on this site. The Team Sergeant, NDD, Jack Molroney and others are truly national treasures. Learn from them. Then committ yourself utterly to the task, jump through the flaming hoops at Mackall, Bragg, and elsewhere, and get yourself onto an ODA. There is still important work to be done for our country, and the brotherhood you are aspiring to join is in the vanguard.
Stout hearts----Blueboy sends.
