This doesn't sound to crazy!!! I have done 95% of this while in the marine corps, doesnt sound very HARDCORE!!!!! In fact it baisically sounds like your were an armorer in the USMC attatched to a basic grunt unit! I have personally done training with Army Rangers and they were not very impressive. I have also known and seen many people from Special Forces in all 4 branches and they were no where near your size due to the fact that you would be absolutely useless in a covert operations. I would like to see your big *** move in a stealthy manner or enter into a building through a small window. Anyway....How was it
There are two 18 Bravos per A team. They employ conventional and unconventional warfare techniques in small unit and individual infantry operations. The weapons sergeant is also responsible for supervising and constructing hasty fortifications. 18 Bravos are proficient in almost every small arm and crew served weapon in existence, foreign and domestic, including rifles, pistols, machine guns, anti-aircraft, anti-armor, mortars, and grenade launchers. They are responsible for evaluating terrain, selecting weapons emplacements, and assigning targets and areas of fire. Each weapons sergeant is able to train, advise, or lead indigenous combat forces up to company size.
Each 18 Bravo must first go through the Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) where they have to swim in boots and BDUs, run an obstacle course, and take long treks with a loaded rucksack. During this time they are assessed on their ability to work as a team member. Upon selection they then enter the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC or "Q Course").
SFQC is divided into three phases, The Individual Skill Phase, The MOS Qualification Phase, and The Collective Training Phase. The first phase lasts 40 days and includes land navigation, patrolling, and an obstacle course. In the qualification phase, which lasts 24 weeks, they are trained operation and maintenance of all types of U.S. light weapons (up to and including 50 cal mMG), U.S. heavy weapons (up to and including the 4.2 in and 120mm mortar and 106mm RR), man-portable air defense weapons, U.S. anti-armor weapons (including anti-tank missile systems), and all foreign high-density light and heavy weapons. In addition they learn indirect fire operations, and emplacement and integrated combined arms fire control planning. The third phase lasts 38 days and consists of Special Forces doctrine and organization, unconventional warfare operations, direct action operations, airborne and airmobile operations, and methods of instruction.

Nice facts from
The reason I didnt go to the track is my wife had an emergency c-section last tuesday and I have an 18 month old and brand new baby that came a month early to attend to. I told him if he ever locks down a date for his little cage fight I'll do my best to attend. The rest of you ***** can disappear because I have no time for you or him at this point, its a total waste of time

I must have read it wrong sorry for that, its not a great thing to kill someone when its that personal and they arent shoot'N at you so I've been told. I've never had that opportunity myself and cant say its really one I'd want personally. When things happen fast its a little different than laying in wait to take a shot, less to time think about it but still tough when you reflect back on it. I dont envy those guys one bit they truely have a tuff job and it has to stay with you if you ever actually see that "pink mist". SF has a different job and mindset in that its rapid response and fast action most of the time, but long term stays in strange far away places and trying do blend in and training indigenous personel also goes along with the job as well. My biggest problem was trying to learn Arabic and being plauged with a nasty ankle injury from botched landing due having to use a reserve chute
