Selected

I was one of the selected Os from the 3-17 June course that just finished up. Thanks to all on this site who have provided information and insight! I couldn't have done it w/out all of your help. Hopefully I'll be back to the Q in the first class of 2009. As I'm sure you've all heard, our class lost a dedicated Soldier that wanted the long tab more than anything, and proved that by leaving it all out there on the land nav course. I only hope I can honor his memory by doing everything in my power to be successful during the pipeline.

Adjusting Fire!

Sometimes things just don't go as planned, or as we hope they will.

Here's the news:

My waiver won't fly, so I won't be attending SFAS at all, meaning that door has been shut in my face...again. I'm not bitter, but sure as h**l am disappointed beyond reason.

Guess two hip surgeries, a hiatal hernia, and a yo-yo thyroid, among other things, are a bit much to carry at my age to get into the program. I have the heart, but the internal workings of my body are telling me something else.

But that's ok. CA is a viable entity, as well as working support for Group or the SWC(again), so I'm still in the game on that level.

Once again, in light of all of this, I wish to thank all of the QPs for the support and encouragement along the way. I intend to take all that you have poured into my proverbial glass, making use of it by adjusting fire and making mission by using a different route. In short, I'm looking for a job, and it is my intention to work in the SOF community one way or another until I'm told to shut up and go home.

Look for me guys. I'll be around!

Regards,

Mick

Sorry to hear about your troubles M.

We have had many discussions about your service to our country; you know where I stand. And you know where I am.

Thanks, Brother. You've always been a friend and inspiration. I'll be in touch via cell soon.
