    In the "Ballad of the Green Beret," SSgt Barry Sadler sings that out of one hundred men only three win the Green Beret. What does this actually mean?

    		Approximately forty percent of all candidates attempting SFAS are successful. Many unsuccessful candidates elect to Voluntarily Withdraw (VW), while others suffer injuries in the course of training and are "Medically Dropped." Those that successfully complete the course must then be selected by the final selection board. Many candidates who make it to the end of the course are not selected because the board deems that they lack the required attributes of an SF soldier, or that they are not yet ready to attempt the next phase in SF training.
