Couch Shines Again
I've read several of Mr. Couch's books and the level of detail and realism he brings, based on access granted as a result of his own SOF affiliations, always makes for an interesting read. This book provides great detail into the training of a
Special
Forces
Soldier
and how mult-facted their role really is. Particularly coming from one who belongs to the Elite fraternity of Navy SEALS, he sings particular praise for these Army
Warrior
s.
Great if you are going into Special Forces
This book goes into great detail about
Special
Forces training
without revealing any classified details. The brief commentaries at beginning and end of book are outstanding, but if you are not into the details of the training, it might not be as action packed as one would like. I enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it.

Great book for any spouse to read!
I purchased this book because my husband reenlisted into the army to train for
special
forces
. Right now he is in the selection process. This book has helped me to understand what he will be going thru at all points of his training and how long it will take. Dick Couch does a wonderful job of explaining the process of the training while
making
it easy and fun to read. If your husband, boyfriend, son, or anyone you know is entering this program you must read this book. I refer to it all the time when my husband is at different points in his training so that I can see what he is doing and how long he will be doing it for. I bought a copy for my husband to read so that he could be prepared and he thought it was a little discouraging at times. That is how hard and trying the training is. I feel for him training in this NC heat! God bless all of our U.S.
Soldier
s and Green Berets!

A primer on Special Forces for all who are interested
Dick Couch, author of "
Chosen
Soldier
: The
Making
of a
Special
Forces
Warrior
" has written a superb piece in this book.
Couch takes the reader through all the phases of the Q-Course, and he brings the Special Forces Warrior's challenges and experiences as true to life as one can get from a book.
"Chosen Soldier" is a MUST READ for anyone interested in the Green Berets and what is required to become one (and, sew on that patch!). I especially recommend this book to anyone in or anticipating joining Special Operations Forces.
I closed this book in total awe of and respect for every man who makes it through this grueling training. They truly are the elite of the elite.

THE BOOK on Army Special Forces
I think this is Couch's best book! As a person with a big interest in the subject matter and some knowledge to begin with, I was instantly pulled into the stories of these men heading down the road to a Green Beret. I was impressed, though by the exceptional job the author does at
making
it understandable for readers without a lot of prior military knowledge. It has everything you expect from a Couch book: an insider view at a super-secret society, people you can be proud to have out fighting for us, detail and excitement that is engaging throughout. This is a great book in support of the guys laying down their lives without getting trapped in political rhetoric. I highly recommend
