Being in the AF I'm somewhat biased towards AF SOF as well. In my younger and dumber days I considered Navy service as well, but the old 'what will I do if plan A doesn't work' reared it's head and pushed me in directions I've never regretted. But to each his own.
I've met far more people who
wanted to be Special Ops than who ever
were Special Ops. Some are posers who just want the cool tshirt but can't do the gut check to earn it. Some are very talented people whose bodies just couldn't take it, but they went on to do other great things. I've spent time at Lackland and seen just what PJ/CCT indoc does to people's shins/knees. Regardless of heart, the body just doesn't always work. And that is why my advice was, make sure you want to be in the Navy as well as a SEAL, you never know what could happen.
LAFF I'm just curious, you've served
in all four branchs, or served
with all four? I've been in two, I've meet a few folks who've been in 3, but never actually known anyone to hit all four.
