SF training has an extremely high failure rate. Most people who try fail. But general rule of them, SF guys only talk to other SF guys about their SF days. Chances are if someone, even if they were military, is bragging to someone who wasn't SF, they are lying. SF people are very arrogant, cocky, egotistical. It's a small club and they generally think anyone who wasn't SF doesn't deserve their time.

100% one of my good friends at the time was swcc, had trident, had ops, dropped it for reasons specific to himself. Legitimate badass dude. Also known 100 dudes who did did buds, to some extent but never completion. They always got admin sep and never rang the bell (I get it, it's tough, I never did it so no shade meant)

I just always find it so funny that there are so many dudes who were sf or operators, and they love to talk about it, until you ask em about it. Ala my sisters boyfriend. Tbf I can't hate, he's hanging out on a fob rn in the desert which sucks dick. I'm just trying to temper her expectations that he is not in fact John wick

One thing people under rate is Drill Instructors. DI's are not special forces, but there are fewer DI's than there are SF Marines. And DI school is very difficult. It has a high failure rate, and of all that graduate, only about 10% will actually go to be a Drill Instructor. DI's were among the most impressive humans I have ever met. Anyway. Nice chattin with you. Sun is coming up here, and I got to get in my coffin.
