Here is what you do and what you get for 20 years in special Ops. Basic Training 10wks, Combat Communications School 6mn, Airborne School 3wks, Ranger Schools 4mn, PLDC 5wks, Special Forces Qualifications Course 4wks, SERE School 4wks (where they beat the hell out fo you so you have an idea what will happen if captured), BNOC 5-6wks, Special Forces School 8mns to 2 yrs (depending on your job), Arabic Language School 8mns, Persian Language School 8mns, Freefall Parachute School 2mns, Scuba School 8wks, ANOC 3mns, Assorted Shooting schools 3 mns. An there is about another 24 mns of assorted schools to attend along the way.

Now we stayed deployed on average on my team for about 320 days out of the year. Could be gone 6 months, 3 months, 3 weeks, or maybe just one week. Then come home clean your gear and be ready to deploy in another few days. There are no family plains, birthdays. or vacation to schedule. On top of this our divorce rate is about 90%.

Next lets talk about physical issues. Most of us because of working in 3rd World for most of our young adult life get a chance to catch many exotic illnesses. Most of my team had Malaria, exposed to TB and had to go through treatment, contracted an assortment of fungus and rashes. Ok now where on to the broken bones, bullet wounds and assorted fragmentation. Then there is the natural wear and tear after you do this for 16 to 20 years.

After the end of twenty years if all goes well, your take home pay is about $2,700.00 a month. Now don’t forget your broken, worn out, divorced and your only friends are the people you have been working with that are still alive. So now you go hey its time to retire if uncle sam will let you. Lets say he says ok. After taxes you take home if lucky about $1000.00 bucks a month.

As you sit there wondering what will I do now. So as most do you ask yourself what do I know how to do. At his point thank goodness for companies like blackwater that will hire you if you can still do your job in a proficent manner. So some youg Special Ops. guys see this going on and think. They ask themselves. You know I love this job with all my heart and want to help the greater good, but damn at the end of 20 years no money and no life is that for me or should I take the $150,000 to $200,000 to do the same job.

Well my friends there is the issues. If you have not done this job please do not comment because you have no grounds or right. You have no idea what it takes or what is sacraficed along the way. Those of us and damn few of us do this job because we want to do more and volunteer for this additional work. Not one of us ever asked, questioned or told you live a different or for that fact get a life. So how about you just sit home bang your girl or boyfriend, tap on your keyboard and leave us, and the next generation of Special Ops. soldiers to do the work. The worst thing of all is you make comments and judgements about things you know not. Once again if you do not live the life you have no idea. One last word of caution. Every place I go you hear somebody say my cousion, my brother, my daddy or I was in a Special Ops unit. Hell if that was the case there would be no shortage of people in the units. Unless you were a Seal, Green Beret, a Ranger in a Ranger BN, in Delta, very specific Air Force unit, very specific Marine unit and handful of other units that most of you never have or will hear of, YOU OR WHO YOU NEW WAS NOT IN SPECIAL OPS.

So either stop talking about things you do not know or get off your ass take the years to go through it all and then tell us what you think.

Hard to have competition with no-bid contracts designed to help the profiteering of a company that the VP still draws a paycheck from.

This practice makes Nixon look like a shoplifter at a convenience store. What was impeachable a generation ago now gets rewarded with re-election. How do they get away with this?! I’m sick with disgust.
