Brian, c'mon, man, you can't leave us all on such a cliffhanger. You went into the careers office and applied for the direct-entry SF program (18X). Why did you end up as a mortarman in the infantry? We know you were a super-fit athlete/cross-country runner from a young age, so there's no way you'd fail the basic pre-selection tests. And we know there's no quit in you so you definitely wouldn't have voluntarily withdrew when things got tough. Spill the beans.
