Im currently supporting OEF. I see a few Spec Ops guys at the gym I go to and they dont speak to anybody that speaks to them. I wanted to ask one of them for some pointers for getting thru the pipeline. Alot of people say they think theyre better than everybody. My question is... Is that something that you are taught (to only speak with spec operators)? Im a future CCT trainee and was just curious because Im a very talkative guy. Sorry if the question didnt make any sense. Couldnt give specifics due to OPSEC

My question is, why are you posting in the Pararesuce section if you are a CCT hopeful?

To answer you, read TE's "Life in SOF" http://www.specialtactics.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/44920/Re_Life_in_SOF.html#Post44920

hmm, think about it. Is it their attitude or your attitude? Have you considered how many persons approach the CCT or PJ everyday with the same you got to talk to me because I want to be tag line? The talk to them becomes a bit more involved in can I train with you tomorrow and the next day and the next day. People presume they deserve a bit more than just the talk and become a ball and chain tied to wanting you train them day after day just by acknowledging them. It gets tiring after awhile and they are probably suffering from being too tolerant and being suckered once to often into I’m so glad I met you so that you can help me train situations (I'm the wannabe, got to love me and help me and be my best friend forever).

Getting the pointers is one of the reasons of this site and PJs and CCT know it exists. There is not any pointer that can be told by them that isn’t disclosed here.

so i wasnt even the one to spark my own intrest reguarding the pursuit of pj. i actually met a CRO, i asked him a bunch of questions, probibly annoyed him to talk about it and because of him iv met alot more high ranking cros and pjs, and being stationed at kadena i met a bunch their too. first off they can smell if you really want it or are just the guys that YUKON is talking about. their people too im sure if you had a couple question he wouldnt mind... i hounded the cro that was helping me we actually became pretty good friends but be normal. if hes an a** then hes an a** but i mean dont be a girl.
