I'm not slobbering on your butthole. Having been in and researched Special Forces/Special Ops and the requirements to not only get into them, but how hard it is to simply make it through the training, your list is impressive.

Agreed, but my AAMs and ARCOMS were well deserved. My Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal was the result of an 18 hour no-notice combat deployment (that is 18 hours from the time we were notified to the time we were taxiing off the runway to the middle east).

I wasn't in any of those you listed, but did participate in a combat deployment that was called Operation Mongoose Thunder.

Yeah, if I was that mislead I might be a lot more eager to die too.

Whatever, it is interesting, I like military subjects, and talking about the military with someone who has been there (rather than wannabes) is something I don't get much of a chance to do in my home town, as most ex military here were kicked out for getting fat or other lame reasons.

I'll stay in. I'm pretty motivated to learn, I just need to figure out which career field I want. All are AF Special Ops. I want to shoot for Combat Rescue Officer, but that is one hell of a field.

I knew you loved me!
