Introduction
 

Hello folks,

My name is JP, I've spent the majority of my life moving, and exploring the south. I served for a few years as an 11B in Ft. Drum, before going to college. I was born in 1988, so I'm still pretty young. Daily reminder I've still got quite a bit to learn. The majority of my life consists of politics and dealing with the insanity of the 24/7 news cycle.

More than anything, I wanted to give you guys a thank you for both allowing me the opportunity to read your material, and for everyones service.

For those of you still on the move, be safe.

Best,

Surfaced Lurker
 

Hi All,

I'm a seminarian(of reformed tradition) living Pacific Northwest. Just a plain civilian, who really enjoyed all the information and humor on this forum. Won't be positing much but if I ever do it will likely be in the food section. Have a wonderful day!

Hello,

Hope all is well. 34, Currently Living in Indiana

Came here because I made an UBRR calculator
 

Hello. I'm a civilian brazilian software developer that enjoy calisthenics. I was looking for an "objective" way to measure overall fitness of a person, and end up stumbling on a thread about UBRR with many praises. Because of that, I developed a calculator in my spare time, and would like to make it available (for free) for anyone who wishes to give it a try and give me any feedback.

Hello
 

Hello everyone, I am currently in 5th group, and if you have any questions past that, let me know.

Welcome brother.

Hello, all! I have been lurking on this forum for a few months, and just recently became a member. I am a SGT, currently with 2nd Cavalry Regiment in my SQDN S6 (25U). I have been in the army for 4 and a half years now. Working with a recruiter now to attend SFAS in March/April '15.

Hello members! I'm a 19 year old sophomore in college currently attending the Woodlands, Texas Firefighting Academy and will be getting my EMT-B this summer. While I love the Fire service, I dream of being part of the SF family. I have been doing PT for 4 years, USMC ROTC, and training specifically for SFAS for several months (as of Sep. 2014). After I get out of Fire School, I plan on enlisting through the 18x program. While I'm open to His decisions, I believe God's plan for me is to become part of this elite group of men! Thank you SF guys for your sacrifice!

Hello everyone. I, like many, have been observing these forums for some time now and only recently decided to join the ranks. I'd like to give a huge thank you for the wealth of information freely offered here! I look forward to putting the wisdom of those that have gone before me into practice very soon. I'm shooting for SFAS in Mar/Apr 15 if all works out.

Cheers!

Hello all,

I have been lurking here for a while, reading the posts and trying to learn as much as possible. I am currently an Armor officer and spent my time both as a Scout PL and Troop XO, currently in purgatory as the Squadron S1 since we don't have any AG officers in the unit.

I have a SFAS date in April and am focused on preperation both physically and mentally. Working my way through the THOR3 programming and then after christmas break will switch to the SORB prep program. I plan on finishing up physical preperation with the SF recruiters here on post for the last 6-7 weeks before the school date.

Mentally I am reading all the professional reading I can on SF and SOF trying to absorb all the information that I can. I will take the TABE test before I go and I don't expect any problems with that. I am also working on a graduate degree but I expect I will have to put that on hold if selected.

I am not really looking for any specific advice or guidance, pretty much all my questions have been answered through the forums, but anything additional would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to reading more posts and learning whatever I can before I report to Bragg. Thanks,

Ben

Introduction
 

22 year old in the 18x enlistment process. My goal is to be one of the coveted "Green Berets". I can and will do whatever I resolve to do. I know this will easily be the hardest task I will ever take on. Slacked off most of my life. Looked to what was comfortable, rather than helpful. I wish for nothing more in my life as of right now but to become a member of special forces within the next few years. Anyone in the Northern Virginia area (Not exclusive to, though), feel free to contact me as I would be more than grateful to learn from a member of SF or someone who is currently training for SF and perhaps train with them.
