He had the privilege of going through Basic Training twice, the second time he went straight into the Army's new 18X program, Special Forces Assessment Selection course (SFAS). Upon graduation, he was assigned to 3rd Special Forces Group in the Spring of 2004. Three month later he was deployed to Afghanistan.
