Things my recruiter told me for 100 Alex?......

Yes you can. It’s called the 18X program. You enlist, go through infantry OSUT (basic + AIT), then go to airborne school, then go to SOPC (special operations preparation course), then you attend SFAS (special forces assessment and selection). Most people do not get selected at SFAS but 18X candidates do have a higher selection rate than prior service personnel.

Once selected, they will be assigned an 18-series MOS (18X is just a placeholder until they pass SFAS) and they will go through the appropriate training pipeline.

Interesting. Unfortunately, that program didn't exist until the 90's. I believe you enlisted around '69? So, not possible for you. Moreover, the training lasts nearly 3 years and you must commit to a 6 year enlistment. I believe you did one (1) year. I didn't know the Army had a program where you could enlist for 1 year, but I was never in the Army.

You don't live in my head, I'm just observant and you like to post about yourself a lot. That's all.

That story about you taking that old .45 off the dead female VC is legendary and repeated often. Those are nice handguns.

I'm thinking that 'history' could be changed to 'lifetime' in your third paragraph.

The 1860 and 1864 elections must have been life or death elections since over 600,000 people died and millions maimed by antique weapons and cannon balls over something that was pretty much spelled out in the constitution.

I go along with the 'deep shit' part though.

Not to mention climate change. Just ask LA.

I enlisted for 6 years, 3 active & 3 reserves, but they could only make you go to Vietnam for 1 year tour. Finished my reserve time at Ft Lewis Wa.
