Had a guy in my graduating special forces class in 1992 who was from Oman or some place in the mid east. He barley spoke any English. The 8 month course eliminated about 70% of the American students, but this guy finished 3rd in the class. One had to be very academically dedicated and it was impossible if you did'nt understand the instructors but apparently he was allowed to pass because I geuss if he had failed he would have been executed upon his return to his home country. At least thats what was going round the scuttlebutt. I damn near killed myself getting that SF tab and it was pretty much given to this guy. I did see him do some hard phyical labor though. He was tough enough for the physical parts.
