I always had a fantasy in the back of my mind, before I turned 30 and was too old, of joining a branch of the special forces, having never served, just to do something worthwhile. I'm in good shape, figured I would do masculine things, and would come out as a stronger person.
I don't have that fantasy anymore, but I realize how much of a joke it is in the military. What a bunch of fluffers.
There is one thing I will say: I've worked with and for SF officers in the past and I've got nothing but the highest respect for them. The majority have a "no bullshit", task focused mindset that the rest of society could learn from.
Problem is that the only way to get to SF is to serve in the regular army for a few years and then audition for the job....which you may or may not get.
