### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Insightful with regards to OPSEC this is the best book i've ever owned
*by S***T on January 20, 2011*

I have been looking into RANGER school for some time now ever since I was denied my school date due to "paperwork mishap" in AIT. Ever since I have been looking to aim higher for my career. I read this book every morning during my guard shift and I can barely put it down to perform the appropriate customs and courtesy's the job entails. I have had the distinct pleasure of working and training with one of the groups mentioned in this book and have used it to plan my approach to the Special Forces selection and training. Dick Couch really goes into every possible detail about the trials and tribulations each individual in his ODA experiences. He clearly explains all the way through the "X-ray" option of enlisting all the way through the Q-course and selection as well as in depth descriptions about the individual MOS training. I now know what I want to focus on most and aim for when I go to selection. I think every American should read this book so they can really get a grasp on the training these people go through to make them one of the best. It might make some appreciate the freedoms they have that we as military forfeit, and they as special forces soldiers protect on a first hand basis. I only wish Mr. Couch would write a book about Delta Force.Def. a 5+ star rating, I have already told a few friends to pick up a copy because I don't want to let mine go.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book about Green Beret SFAS and Q-Course written by former Navy SEAL!
*by M***L on November 26, 2019*

Dick Couch is an excellent writer whose credibility is without question. His years in SOF as a Navy SEAL lends authority and perspective that can't be obtained from a writer lacking such a background. Couch's view is honest and straight-forward. The book is a detailed look at Army Special Forces' SFAS and Q-Course training. It illustrates why Green Berets are among the best and most highly versatile and effective soldiers in the United States military. A great read for anyone interested in SOF in general and Army SF in particular. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating look at what it takes to earn the Green Beret
*by H***A on October 23, 2007*

I believe this is the first comprehensive look at the entire U.S. Army Special Forces selection, qualification and training process; certainly the most updated (as of around 2004-5). Couch, a former Navy SEAL, is full of praise for the abilities and character of those young sergeants and junior officers who earn their Green Beret. And while the prose at times lags with over emphasis on procedure, it is still a fascinating look at a world very few of us will ever experience.The main strength of the book is that it's more than an anecdotal telling of what these candidates had to go through. Couch also explores what the SF cadre instructors and trainers bring to the process as well. For instance, I was surprised to learn that there was little of the shouting and hazing that I suppose I'd expect to read about. Instead, Couch shows that throughout all four Phases, the cadre sergeants and officers are extremely considerate AND dedicated military professionals.Although this kind of experience is no longer for me, I believe this is an excellent book for those contemplating a military career in Special Forces. Couch spends a lot of time on each Phase, as well as each Special Forces specialty (communications, engineering, weapons, medical, etc.).There's also a section devoted to the preparation officers undergo to become ODA leaders, although I felt this was where Couch was at his most dryly procedural, whereas I wanted to read more about their field exercises. Finally, the book concludes with a satisfying overview of Robin Sage, the final Phase IV unconventional wargame exercise.Strongly recommended.
