Thank you all for the kind sentiments. I fear this announcement of mine resulted in a hijack of this thread. My son's accomplishments were aided by the book written by the Major.
My son's journey begins...... May his performance from this point on be deserving of the praise of those who now serve, and those who served before him, beneath the Green Beret. And one final word to Mr. Harsey before I end this hijack............Thanks for what you do for our boys!!!

I made the donation last week, and recieved the book today. It looks to be written very well, and organized nicely. I am sure it's going to be an incredible resource.
Thanks in advace Warrior-Mentor.

I have a real quick question then its back to lurking for me. My question is this if I buy GET SELECTED from clothing and sales will the donation still go to the right people? If not then I'll order it online.
Thanks sir,

The cash raised from books sold through Clothing Sales is how we pay for the books shipped to SOWF in Tampa. 100% of books bought online goes directly to SOWF. Books bought through clothing sales fund the books we ship to SOWF. If no one bought books from Clothing Sales, we'd have to restructure the business model to pay for the books donated.
6 to 1, half dozen the other. What ever floats your boat.

I have read "Get Selected for SF" several times. It is well written and is a quick read. I can not say that the training workout will help you pass SFAS because I haven't been yet. I can say that the training schedule, although difficult, will help your physical fitness overall. Before reading this book I didn't know the first thing about proper ruck marching. I was killing myself after a few miles before reading the MAJ's book.

What Credibility
I am going to order this book most tick. There is no better credibility than the folks on this site. The author and his co-author invented the course that prepares men to enter the SFAS. I was not always a fan of the 18X program but I am now convinced it is here to stay and therefore... the future of Special Forces. If this book can provide guidance to the young soldiers attempting the "pipeline" then it is a good thing. When you put the proceeds to such a good cause you have nothing but winners. Great work,
Z

Absolutely amazing. First, the great book and now a clothing line. I can't wait to order my wife one of those. Any future with undergarments. For instance, things that read "My husband is training for SF" across the front or even back for that matter.
