As in they served in units such as 75 th Ranger Regiment or S.F. Example the one operations manager where i work at as a feeder driver UPS.
He always is very personable very calm always says hello jokes with me about being former 82nd Airborne I told him i jumped with Hannibal young man yes the elephants went out first.

I’ve seen his awards on his I phone RANGER course then two tours regiment Afghanistan. Then later in career onto selection and he was medic with special forces teams.

I’ve met several of these professional warriors over years Force Recon Marines one former Navy Seal my one son in law was tabbed served with the 75th I’m saying these guys don’t brag and in life they’re usually some of the calmest people you’ll meet.

1. They've learned how to embrace the suck. They know they can hack it.

2. Do you suppose that type of personality got them into those units or developed during their service?

3. Not sure

Example my first platoon I was assigned to in army was in 82nd and a lot of our NCO were tabbed Ranger or SF and all had extremely different personalities yet all were fine NCO.

Marine Force Recon. He was a mailman for his day job and the nicest, scariest mfer I ever met.

7. I was in Delta Co., 1/69th Armored, 3rd Infantry Division in Germany.

We were considered the most strack tank company in the battalion. It's because we had a crazy lunatic First Sergeant. But it was a nice reputation to have.

8. I fully agree with the exception

of some of their senior officers. We had one working at our company as a Sr VP and was a real asshole. Then we bought a small business that specialized in SOF Ops. Their senior management sucked. Their employees...great people to work with.
