Almost time
Monday is the big day, where I head off to SFAS. From what I have been told, I only have 1 shot at this now, so hopefully I am prepared. Ihave browsed this boards for a little bit now, and must say thanks for the good info you guys have up on here. Hopefully in 26 days from now I will be selected.

Don't be late, don't be light, and don't be last. Good luck bro.

Didn't you know? If you're late for diner you have to clean up after everyone.

Don't quit. That's all you can do now but that's all you ever need to be successful. If you never quit, it doesn't matter what else happens. At least you can look at yourself in the mirror and know you did your best.
Good Luck.

Stay Focused & Perservere
Good Luck Amato. You have the support of the QP, other SF candidates and even the parents on this board. I know you will not take the opportunity for granted. Let us know how it turns out.

SFAS Class 5-06
I'll be going out to Selection this weekend (18MAR06), and hopefully I'll pass out of selection, and not just be comical relief for the rest of the candidates. I've had mixed reviews from my chain of command after signing my volunteer statement from fake concern from NCO's, to encouragement, to an absolutely vitriolic response from my Brigade Sergeant Major, "You dont need to get special forces now, you can special forces anytime, you need to go to the Warrior Leader's course...' Not that I Value his opinion much, because he's been thriced divorced, and he has a faux hawk that looks half-squirrel half-muppet. I had originally planned to go to the Foreign Relations program at Georgetown University, but, I'm reaching my last year in the Army, and I wanted to try something challenging before I try to embark on a career in the CIA w/ in the paramilitary wing. Maybe I'll succeed, maybe I'll fail, but I'll definitely learn something about myself in the process of the SFAS course, and whether I'm fit for this kind of work.
take care,
jorj

Jorj:
I think that the people you want to work for would not want you discussing it on an internet board.
Why on this earth would you go to SFAS if you have no intention of going to the SFQC?
Finally, you need to fill in your profile a bit and introduce yourself in the proper place before posting again.
