MI 2LT Requesting Assistance
Hello all. I am Matt, a 22 year old Second Lieutenant. I’ve been on active duty for only three months, and have absolutely no prior military experience.
I’m presently at Military Intelligence OBC. I’ve been assigned to 3rd SBCT, 2nd ID. I owe the Army seven years of active duty service, and I intend on making myself as educated and useful as possible to our country. I’ve had the honor of knowing several SOF Soldiers from around the world, and after having spent time with them I believe my place is with Army Special Forces. I believe in their core principles, their mission, and I want to be able to work with a team of peers to help facilitate success.
My question to you gentlemen is as follows:
What professional development steps can I take to prepare myself physically, emotionally, and mentally, especially since I’m not branched Combat Arms?
I plan to attend Ranger school when I return from my deployment downrange, and I’m working through a self-imposed rigorous physical regimen, to include lots of rucking. What types of skills, schools, etc. should this brand new MI 2LT do to improve his chances of making it through SFAS and the Q Course?
v/r
Matt
