Things you need to be able to do...

1. Ruckmarch, we have some guys in our unit get ready for SF school they ruckin 20 miles a week and increase it by 5 miles everyweek until they can do 30miles with 50 pound ruck.

2. Operate on little sleep and little food.
Little sleep means less than 4 hours non continuous and little chow means maybe one mre every 24 hours while doing missions.

3. Be strong mentally and physically.
Cause in SF school your buddies rate you and no one wants a weak wimp or someone that always crying and complaining in their squad.

4. Land navigation
you need to hook up with other military mainly army people that know how to land nav. Using a compass, protractor, and a military map 1/50000 scale. Im a expert at land nav.

the rewards of being SF.
1. You get promoted fast as fuck. ive ssg and sfc and i swear they cant be older than 31 or 32 years old.
2. the latest re-enlistment bonus for SF warrant officer was 150K.
3. You get your hands on all the new shit, from weapons, gear, clothing all the highspeed shit like 1-2 years before the infantry and like 3 years before the rest of the army
4. You dont have to wear that stupid black beret, you get to wear the TAN one.
5. You get Highspeed training. That fun training that all the other units want to do but you guys get to do all the fun shit.

downsides
1. You will be put into action. SF are usually the first to go anywhere and its so secrective that sometimes they cant tell their spouses until they are already getting ready to leave..lol

Thats about it on the downside..lol.

any questions let me know. im going to SF brief next week. We have SF up here at FT lewis and Rangers up here too.
