| What Sf Group Is In Florida |
Green Berets with Sunshine Tans: The 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne)
That's right, folks. Florida isn't just for sipping pi�a coladas on the beach (although the 7th SFG(A) probably wouldn't mind a post-mission Mai Tai). These Green Berets are headquartered at Eglin Air Force Base and are some of the most highly trained fighters on the planet.
What makes them special? These elite troops are experts in unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, and basically anything else that involves kicking down doors and taking names (with extreme prejudice). They're fluent in languages most folks haven't even heard of, can navigate a jungle with their eyes closed (or a blindfold, if the situation demands it), and can probably build a working helicopter out of coconuts and duct tape (okay, maybe not, but you get the idea).
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
Where do they operate? The 7th SFG(A)'s specialty is our southern neighbors. Think Latin America, the Caribbean, and basically anywhere south of the border that needs a little American know-how. These guys are the A-Team, except they don't answer to Hannibal and B.A. They answer to Uncle Sam, and let's just say Uncle Sam expects results.
So, can I just sign up to be a Florida Green Beret? Hold your horses there, champ. Getting into the 7th SFG(A) is about as easy as finding a decent parking spot at Disney World during spring break. It takes months of grueling training, mental fortitude that would make a yogi jealous, and the physical fitness of a superhero (minus the tights, hopefully).
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
But Wait, There's More!
Florida's not the only state with bragging rights in the Special Forces department. The 20th Special Forces Group (Airborne) is based in Alabama, but they also have a focus on Latin America. So, it's kind of like a friendly neighborhood competition between the two groups. Who can navigate the Amazon the fastest? Who can make the best empanadas while blindfolded? The world may never know.
