Gentlemen of SC,
I have for a very long time wanted ot serve in the military some day as a Special Forces 18 Bravo. I was about to enlist for the Infantry my senior year of high school and aspire to slowly inch my way towards an A-team, but found out that I had a condition that stopped the show for me, I was diagnosed at my eye doctors with Red/Green color blindness. Now its not a very serious thing for me as I can see vivid reds and greens but a few offshades goof me a little bit sometimes. I had no idea what to do, and I still kind of don't. I am currently sudying criminal justice in college and found out that I don't qualify for being a police officer for the same reason. I wonder if I have made the wrong choice. It's not that I lack the motivation or the drive, but it seemed as if alot of doors had been shut. Its not something I wish to do for my pride or a "cool" factor, people wishing to do these kinds of jobs for those types of reasons are ignorant at best. Special Forces has always appealed to me because the operatives are of the most sincere, and professional group of men you can ever met. More to it then kicking ass, the cultural intuition, laguage skills, cross training, and esprit de corps has always kept me interested. Had the honor and privelage of meeting and knowning one of these individuals.
I know this is a forum that focuses mostly towards shooting which has been a 10 year passion for me. What do you all think?
The floor is al your gentlemen, I will not be offended by anything said as I can take constructive criticism. Thanks for the responses gentlemen. And I give my most sincere respect and admiration to those who pound the ground in the field whether it be desert, jungle, or forest.
Respectfully,
Tyler Consugar
