Inauguration Day and the ‘Q’ course.

You won’t be too busy to miss out on real life while you’re training to become a Green Beret. You’ll spend more time not training than you know. The Special Forces Qualification Course is a marathon, not a sprint. There’s time between trainings and, naturally, plenty of time out in the field, too. Don’t get […]
