There is no "Try", only "Do" or "DO NOT".*

Swing for the fence or stay in the dugout.

I believe ZD has done a fine job in expressing the answer to that ;question.............


I believe that SF is a 'calling' - not too different from the calling missionaries I know received. I knew instantly that it was for me, and that I would do all I could to achieve it. Most others I know in SF experienced something similar. If, as you say, you HAVE searched and read, and you do not KNOW if this is the path for you --- it is not.

SF is a calling and it requires commitment and dedication that the uninitiated will never understand......

As for the "How do you know..." question - you'll know when your records show an 18 series MOSC (or a 3, S, 5G for the older guys) and you can sign in here as a QP.

Again,that question is best answered by two people I highly respect.... That's why I chose to use them in my signature......... And If you don't know now I doubt that you ever will.......

I spent my 1st 18 years in the USMC, my father was a MGySgt who served in WWII and Korea. I was drafted in 1966 and decided I would make my father proud. He attended my graduation from OCS , Gen Lew Walt was the keynote speaker. My dad served with him in Korea and Gen Walt's nephew was a classmate.

Long story long, I went into Special Forces to prove something to myself & my father (he later admitted to having no doubt). Best decision I've made to date.
