Should I join the US Army Special Forces?

[platinumike]

aka Green Beret. Im in college right now, and im thinking of graduating with my BS degree, and join in the Army as an officer, and then attempt for SF.

Officers make bank, go for it.

 

[Hammer]

if you speak 2 languages, yes. 3 is better though.

 

[platinumike]

i heard this rumor, that they have to serve for 10 yrs, is this true?

 

[Queasy]

If that's what you really want, go for it. My wife's cousin is getting out this summer after 20 years in the Air Force. He'll be getting a pretty good monthly retirement paycheck from the Air Force while probably getting a pretty good IT job.

 

[nakedfrog]

Heh. Sure, go for it.

If you're thinking about it, I highly suggest you start running a few miles per day, doing at least a hundred push-ups per day, a bit of swimming, and start all this immediately.

Kerry was going to greatly increase the size of the Special Forces, btw.

How is that bragging? TRYING and DOING are two different things. If you said you were in fact a Navy Seal then you earned bragging rights.

Do you have any idea how many people I saw get washed out of USAF SF training? Quite a few, and most of them were in great shape. It takes a lot more than that.

 

[platinumike]

I just didnt want to seem like some pretentious ahole. who claims he was training for this/that,etc.

 

Remember what happened to the green berets in Predator?

 

[Queasy]
