Well, first you have to join.Yes, one has to be IN the Army first and then go thru a progression of schools and applications to get selected.....so tell us again how you had to leave Missoula to "become a Green Beret"."to become a Green Beret"Most of us have....no jobs.Missoula is a lovely town...you've left, right?I was born in Missoula.
The state has been invaded by liberals for decades. Montana used to be a heavy Democratic state, but things have changed since Obama took the White House. Northern Democrats are really just Republicans with common-sense. We aren't like those racists in the South.
FYI, Dana Carvey from SNL and I were born in the same hospital....Saint Patrick's.....
BTW, To become a Green Beret I had to leave Missoula. Not much opportunity there.![]()
No just getting into the Army first, eh? Right to "Green Beret"?![]()
I know. You must think it just happens. Bet you think 'Rambo' was a true story as well.
Generally one has to progress from one school to the next in order to qualify for Special Forces Selection, much less attend the 'Q' Course and pass it. It takes years of experience and training just to be accepted to attend the course.....and none of that would have happened if I had stayed in Missoula.
