selection tips

Postby anevolution » January 6th, 2010, 4:17 am

Looking for any pearls of wisdoms you BTDTs have on selection or SFQC or Sopc. I have read every post on the subject posted here, I'm looking for maybe a more up todate picture. Anything you guys have to offer will be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance

If you've read everything, then you wasted PT time looking for an angle.

Here's the secret:
Get in better shape, toughen your feet & do your best.
Those are the variables that you control. Beyond that, you are either the right man for this job, or you're right for some other work.
Really, that's all there is to it.

I think a lot of the good stuff on that subject was posted in private areas. I can relay this second hand bit of knowledge to you, via Leatherneck: You have to be able to outrun "swamp bees." :lol:

I recived a pm, but when I try and respond it only let's me preview it and not send. I'm sure the problem is my computer, but it's the only one I have, so I'm not sure when I will be able to say thank you via pm. So I would like to say thank you very much to whom ever sends me pm's, I take the info very seriously and your time is not wasted on me. I wanted to post this here so I don't seem like an ungreatful ***hole, when someone takes time out of there busy day to send me some of there thoughts on the subject. Thanks in advance

Other sources if you aren't already aware:
http://professionalsoldiers.com/
http://www.socnet.com

Maybe not as sophisticated as this site, but:
1) you'll be less likely to get dogpiled by refering to the members as "you guys"; and
2) you'll be less likely to hear:

"But what about Special Forces"?
Aco 3/75 1988-1990
HHC 2/11 1990-1992
Aco 2/3 SFG(A), ODA 345,346 1993-1996
HSC 2/3 SFG(A) CE 1996-1997

This pretty much sums it up.
