This is a joke...right?
1) Fails to read the stickies-check
2) Fails to follow simple instructions-check
3) Fails to fill out his profile-check
4) Fails to post his introduction in the appropriate thread-check
5) INCREDIBLY poor SA- BIG check
and finally
6) Asks about going into Special Operations so that he can have time for school instead of going to work-CHECK
Well, if he is telling the truth, it is proof positive that you can still be a moron and slip through SFAS as a selectee. Perhaps there was hope he was "trainable" 
You have already wasted an SFAS slot, don't waste another in either 19th GP or the Q course.

Blue:
Did you read ANY of the stuff we asked you to before posting?
That is why we have a 24 hour wait before allowing new members to post.
People who just barge in and start demanding info before being bothered to read make me think it should be a week or more.
Have a very non-SF day.

I have seen a lot of physically fit, intelligent, well-trained, well-educated candidates fall by the wayside. Quitting the Army after completing SFAS strikes me as strange as well.
Your bluster, brags, and arrogance do not impress me. You asked for opinions from QPs, and you got them.
SF soldiers also have to be aware of their operational environment, culturally sensitive, and situationally aware. They also realize that arguing with an SF-qualified moderator in the Box right now who is also a former 18D is probably ill-advised.
Your failure to read before posting, to fill out your profile as requested, to introduce yourself, or to understand that we are intolerant of arrogant kids leads me to believe that you are ill-suited for SF service or as a member of an ODA.
People who wish to be SF soldiers understand that it isn't all about them, it is about the team.
You stick with school and forget SF until you understand these points. Good luck.
