Subject: An apology to Braddock
Old Grunt    1/20/2006 3:09:04 PM
I never thought that it would happen but it has. I guess you really do have influence with the Department of Defense, or at least the Department of the Army. Just a few weeks ago you were lamenting that the oportunity for you to be a part of the Special Forces community was just not available and how you would jump at the chance if it became possible. I guess some of your influential friends here at the Pentagon heard you because just a few days later the Army raised the age limit for enlistment to 40 in order to accomodate your wish! You are now eligible to enlist as an 18X!! Man, you must be beside yourself with joy! When do you plan on going down to the recruiting station? I mean, you have the required GT score, experience and skills right? And with all the mentoring that you've gotten from "Green Berets" passing the screening tests should be a breeze for you! After all, the best way to influence the "Green Beret" community is to get assigned to USASOC headquarters and they only pull their staff from the operational community which, of course, you already knew. From there you can move to USSOCOM headquarters and have direct influence across the services. A man of your ability should be able to get assigned to the Pentagon staff after only three or four years of operational time. I wouldn't be surprised if you have already been down to the station! I mean, after all, you have assured us all time and again that you are a man of integrity and that you don't lie. And I know that you wouldn't be so superficial, selfish, and petty as to put the well being of yourself and your family above the welfare of the Nation who so desperately needs you. I would expect a lesser man to try and give some lame excuse for why he wasn't going to take advantage of the fantastic opportunity that he had been given, but not you!! I am so excited for you that you have finally been given your chance to show the world what you are really made of! Please keep us informed of your progress, I'm sure the other posters on this board will join me in congratulating you on receiving which you have so many times stated you wished you could get!

Braddock GOP speaks with wisdom.You really should have tried to accomplish such a lofty goal in your youth.Go for ot though it will be like watching that old ABC commercial(and the defeat of athletes when the ski jumper gets FUBARED),at 39 you remember that commercial hell you probabally wrote it or influenced some ABC exceutive at a luncheon.Braddock there are those with Tabs and then theres just those with excuses.

"If I could only get the chance" statement was not entirely true" I don't ask for chances. I facilitate opportunities through the strategic and tactical dominance of my work..

Old Grunt I am up to the challenge. I have already proven to my prior infantry unit that if you are bitten by a snake in the field you can traverse rugged terrain in order to concentrate the poison in specific point in your lower extremities, therefore, saving your own life holistically in the absence of medication. 'When snake bitten, don't die,' that is my mantra. mough Set it up.

'When snake bitten, don't die,' that is my mantra. Kids don't try this at home. Your training level has to be terrain and ruck readiness based, not your standard "track star" type fitness. mough Set it up.

Old Grunt, feel free to verify this with your SOF doctors. mough Set it up.

How about you sit down, think of what you want to say, and then say it, rather than dribbling in an extra sentence every thirty minutes. Engage mind before mouth, so to speak.

"How about you sit down, think of what you want to say, and then say it, rather than dribbling in an extra sentence every thirty minutes. Engage mind before mouth, so to speak." Horse Soldier You got the message. I'm talented now, but with a SOF tab, I'll be "extra special."

>>You got the message. I'm talented now, but with a SOF tab, I'll be "extra special." << A) What does any of that have to do with your bad habit of stuttering? B) Your foot isn't even in the door yet, so we'll see if they even let you take a run at SFAS, much less earn a tab.

I have the intellectual property to prove this. I believe all soldiers should give more than they take from military institutions.
