Pabo I have shared more personal info about myself here on RIU than anyone. There are Folsom ex-cons that regularly attend the BBQ's. If you ever grow a nut sack and show up I will ask them to explain it to you. Until you have matched my openness with your personal info, you are just a troll....

Oh, I know. I've been here nearly as long as you and have read your fantastical stories. But you sure have difficulty keeping all those stories straight or consistent over the years.
By the way, where did you go to Green Beret training? That's a very elite outfit.

Sure, but earlier you said you applied for Green Beret training after completing boot camp and medic school, but washed out and was going to reapply. Unless you misspoke here:

I applied and was told they didn't need SF medics at that time. They told me i could re-up after my 1st tour and would be guaranteed a slot in SF assessment course.

So the part about your claiming that unfortunately not every candidate makes it all the way thru and washing out when referring to yourself was really your way of saying they didn't need you right then?
Ok, that makes sense too.

it was just a statement that SF is a tough outfit to get into. I washed out on my first attempt and just never re-applied. I had enough....

If you were turned down because you weren't needed, you never washed out of anything. Unless you're now saying you did start the training.
Btw, it's never been possible for one to go to bootcamp, medic school and then directly into Green Beret training. Rangers possibly, but never Green Beret.

There were no Rangers in Vietnam when I enlisted. They were LRRP's; Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols and they were later converted into Rangers. LRRP's were trained at the MACV RECONDO school in Na Trang. I applied for Special Forces and was told to reapply after my first tour.

You don't know what is possible, they just take a shine to some folks and open all the doors.
