Special Forces--Selection Success

Jonathan Schmidt sent me a brief text message: "I made it through selection hoo yah"

J trained with me for about a year in preparation to enter Air Force Special Forces. Originally he planned to apply for Pararescue Jumper, but he ultimately decided to apply in Combat Control.

Congrats Jonathan!
