  I had the pleasure of working with MSG Relation and SFC Peterson on 2 combat tours. I learned a lot from working with that beast of an ODA and will always be grateful for that experience.

  They allowed one civilian to become a green beret. He was a journalist during Vietnam war who was writing a book about the green berets. The green berets allowed him to go through the full training (over a year). After training, he deployed and fought along side them in 5th Special Forces Group. After deployment, he wrote his legendary book: The Green Berets.<br><br>His name was Robin Moore, he’s also the author of the French Connection.

  Crazy how so many in the comments section are critiquing this female NCO. This isn’t selection for her….but she’s out there testing herself, which is a lot more than many Soldiers can say 🤷🏻‍♂️

  My uncle is retired, and one of the original 5th special forces members. I saw the SGM walk up to him while in Key West and shake his hand and call him one of the Legends.

  My best ever 2 mile run was a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=005tuSLod2g&amp;t=842">14:02</a>. The fact that you came back from a torn hamstring to run a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=005tuSLod2g&amp;t=838">13:58</a> is really impressive.

  I just realized that they had a brigadier general during the selection board at the end. In the real SFAS, the board is composed of the course commander (a major when I went through SFAS in 2001), the course sergeant major, and the cadre team leads. You do not get any positive feedback during the real board. You essentially get interrogated on items that they feel are concerns whilst your performance (&quot;Why are your runs not consistent? Were you not giving 100% each time? Were you holding back?&quot;, etc.). I did not get boarded, but the guys that did tell me that it is not a fun time and that you still come out doubting if they will select you (because they do not tell you right away). Almost every guy who knows he has to attend the SFAS board the next day does not sleep at all the night before.

  Much respect to the woman who participated. She came, she saw, she put her heart into it
