During our exit counseling I, as well as most of my hut, was allowed to see my test results and our run/ruck times. I dont remember what any of it was... but I remember being suprised my run times weren't better... <sigh>

ETA: Its also interesting, not suprising though, who can access said records when they want. So, as a heads up, dont think the QP's here cant find out if you are BS-ing them about your performance at Selection. You may be suprised by a visitor while you are there.

SF is a big/small world

You guys in the pipe line have to remember something. There are thousands of SF guys running around the world, both active and retired. It's hard to know them all, nobody does.

But SF is also a small world with limited assignments. Once you've been in a while you know guys everywhere. Walk into an S-3 shop and you see a guy you went through the course with. Another office a guy you went to an advanced school with. Go to a Chapter 1-18 meeting, run into some old buds and find they are out at Robin Sage or somewhere else working with students.

And even if you don't know anybody, after chatting with a guy you find out you both worked with some guy who was a real character. Thick as thieves in 10 minutes.

So don't do anything too stupid because that TAC just might be your new team
sergeant by the time you get out of training.

Best thing is to be that un-named troop in the back rank with the hat pulled low. Somebody asks a TAC "Hey, remember so and so from class whatever?" "Nope, can't say that I do."

One of the many things I love about SF is that your reputation begins in SFAS folows you thru the Q and is impossible to run from. Good dudes are known for being good dudes, PT studs are known for being PT studs, brainiacs are known for being brainiacs... and turds are known for being turds. It all starts on day one...
