Tot Special Splint asked about SOF??
Imagine IF you are one of the SOF trainers, what would you be
looking for in a potential SOF trainee?
I make up a list here for discussion.
Physical fitness? Yes, but no need to be like Rambo or Arnie or
some body builder type. I think triathletes will do nicely.
Triathletes are well balanced i think.
Intelligence? Yes, above average intelligence can already. No need
very high education. Flexible thinking, or the uni call lateral
thinking, or i like to call street smart.
Attitude and Aptitude? Proactive (overkilled word?). Mature in
thinking. Excellent problem solving skills. Optimists.
Never-say-die (another overkilled word?), or some of you call WILL
POWER. And of course team player.
Others? Maybe a PSYCHO TEST also? Make sure you not PSYCHO?
(Kekeke...too late?! No la. Just kidding.) But then maybe you HAVE
to be a little psycho to join?
MENTAL STRENGTH! To IGNORE that
GDBH (God Damn Bloody Hell) little
BELL!!! To NOT see it even when
it's right in your face!!! Tell yourself "IT'S NOT THERE!
IT'S NOT THERE!" Or maybe you should wake up and RING MY
BELL .... RING MY BELL! (Remember that song? That goes on and on
and on and on ....... just like the endless marches ....... on and
on and on .........) NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE
BELL.
Eh?! Think im going PSYCHO myself just writing it!!
Oh, and don't be afraid of heights.
Anything else to add? Feel free to add to the list. Maybe we can
submit to SAF for consideration?
Btw, i believe SOF is open to all services. Need people with
different skills right? Cannot everyone come from Commando right?
Anyway you can't be SOF forever .......... or can you?
Kekekeke...........
But what do i know? Just a little ORCA in a BIG BIG OCEAN! Hope the
SOF guys out there don't mount any BLACK OPS against me!
YOU ARE ALL VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE.
ORCA
DE OPPRESSO LIBER
I WILL ALWAYS PLACE THE MISSION FIRST
I WILL NEVER ACCEPT DEFEAT.
I WILL NEVER QUIT.
I WILL NEVER LEAVE A FALLEN COMRADE.
