    You should go for it. Not too many folks get an invite to train with the Master. No one will prepare you better.

    Can you follow & lead under stress repeatedly, pushing yourself past any 'negative waves' or physical discomfort - while at the same time being there for your fellow soldiers and accomplishing the mission?

    It's been almost a year since he posted. I'm curious. What happened? No shame in failing. It isn't easy.

    If I remember correctly, he was talking about the "End of His Ranger Career" and was talking about him being attacked or mugged or something. There were some quesitons that were raised about it from some members and when he was asked questions about the stories he was telling he didn't answer them and has not been back since. Not sure.

    As far as Failing. You are correct. Ranger School, RIP, AB, SF, Q-Course all the schools there is no disgrace in failure. In my mind that's the reason they have the schools. Not only are those schools there to teach the soldiers about the specialty or the job itself, but the school is there to help the cadre decide is that solider is right for the unit or the specialty. However it is also a chance for the soldier to decide if that specialty or unit is for him/her. No shame in that.

    I am just curious if he didn't come back becaus eof the questions that were raised to the holes in his story about being mugged.
