Oh this is going to be good
 
I will be at Bragg over that time. If you'd like me to keep an eye on him I'd love to ask around. :munchin

That brings me to my reason for being here. My son is scheduled to report SFAS on 30 Jan 2014. I hope to ask a few family-type questions about the Q course that I haven't been able to find answers to elsewhere (including a search of the forums here).

Served on AD and in the Reserves from May 1971 till they kicked me out Oct 2013 in a variety of Med and MI MOS. Was with ACO and HHQ CO, 3RD BN, 11TH GRP in the late 70's early 80's. Took the ABN course at Ft. Devens, but found later that hearing problems precluded me from attending the Q Course. My last deployment was to IZ in 2004 with CITF. Happy Thanksgiving to All! We still have much to be grateful for in this country.

After creepin for some time, I require the use of the storied "search" function.

I served in the Marines from the summer of '05 til the summer of '13. I was a field MP, not one of the blue falcon PMO MPs that work on the bases giving out tickets and bitching about your lifted truck being too high. The field side of the mos usually does convoy security, but as of late (due to the drawdown) we have been tasked with advisor missions. My last pump was on an advisor team and I loved it. It was awesome training our guys, and although they may not have been up to American Military standards, they were at least "Afgan good". It was pretty cool teaching our guys from the bottom up. Anyways, I got out about a year and a half ago and started school right away. I have an affinity for math and mechanics so I decided to try my hand at mechanical engineering. If you were to go back in time to the high school version of me and tell me that I'd be going for any sort of engineering degree I'd tell you to kick rocks. In high school I just wanted to graduate and start my career in the Marines. After my first 4 I decided to re-up and see if the political bs and dick measuring subsided at all after a couple promotions. To no avail, there was still alot of insecure arrogance. So I decided to get out and start school. My plans as of now are getting the degree and hopefully getting into the xray program. I loved serving, I would rather do it with professionals. Any questions you may have, feel free to ask. I look forward to learning alot from everyone here.

Hello all, my name is Jeremy. I have been in the army for sixteen years and I am stationed at Ft. Campbell. To keep it short, I’m a long range planner and advisor. This site came highly recommended to me from a colleague. I’m looking to learn from different points of view on a variety of subjects (conflicts, politics, cultural experiences and lessons learned). From my experience, talking with retired guys from my community has been a great resource of information and from looking through some of the profiles here, this seems to resource rich environment. Message me for further details.

Hello everyone!

I'm Alexander, and happily enlisted this fall as a Ray. I am now 20 and have wanted nothing more but to join since I was 4 years old; my father has been my biggest inspiration, as he did his hand upon handfuls of years in. Just received my Associates and will be leaving in a few months for OSUT. I'm pleased to have taken all the advice I have read from threads and implement the tips into valued practice before I start this long journey. I've been an avid reader for some time now. I am motivated, and dedicated, and will be carried out of this dream only on a stretcher; NO other way. Victor Whiskey's are NOT my kind of people. Best wishes to all of you on similar paths, and Thank You to all the Professionals disseminating their wisdom to those worthy.

Happy Holidays.

Hello all, my name is Matt Rosenhamer. I just recently turned 26 years old and am currently a student. I graduated from Emporia State University (Emporia, KS) with a B.S. in Health and Exercise Sciences, and also competed in collegiate football while attending. I have traveled around the Midwest completing internships under different athletic performance staffs (strength & conditioning). I am hoping to sign as an 18x candidate with my medical history still pending. I am looking forward to learning a great deal of information from this website and from all of you professional soldiers. Thank you for your services!

Hello everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I'm a young EOD tech stationed in Germany. I have had the privilege to pick the brains of a couple warriors in different stages of life, some that you probably know. They are truly inspiring and humbling to talk to. I have some pretty big aspirations and that's what brings me here. Just trying to lean as much as I can. Thank you for maintaining this site.

Good morning gents,

I am a Reconnaissance Marine, at 4th Recon Bn. I am in the midst of an interservice transfer to the Army in the hopes of getting the opportunity to go to SFAS. I had the easier opportunity to go to MARSOC, but i followed the advice of several of my mentors who all recommended to just try to get to SFAS instead. I am here to learn, gain SA and ask a few questions.

Thank you.

I want to thank you guys!
 
First of All I want to thank you guys for what you are doing here...What you do everywhere.
I am a Veteran of the 82nd Airborne 3/73Ar Upon deactivation I went onto to 3rd ID.
I recently had suspected one Michael Hopp of being a SFA Fraud. I contacted my Brother who is retired 5th SFG (A). He told me of this site and I contacted you guys and when you indeed receive Michael Hopp's records, it did in fact show him to be a fraud.

Again I want to thank you guys for all that you do.

Good Afternoon,

I'm an old leg Infantryman that was led here in stolen valor surfing. I joined the Army in 2000 got out in 2005 and have been working as an Army civilian since. At my current assignment my largest supported population is Army SF with their HHQ and with two NSWUs. If I can be of any assistance in the pursuit or poseurs please let me know if not I'll just be content to read and contribute in any way I can.

Hello Everyone

I am 21 years old and currently serving as a 35f (Human Intelligence Analyst). I have just completed my MOS training and be on my way to Airborne School starting the 3rd of January 2015, and will be assigned to Special Forces 7th Group. My goal is to actually become a Special Forces member so I'm pretty excited on the challenges that await and if there is any advice for me please don't hesitate.

Evening,

I am a 27-year-old 13A currently serving as Fire Support Officer for a cavalry unit in the national guard. I've wanted to work in the SOF community since I was eleven. My ultimate goal is to successfully complete the "other selection" after successfully serving in the groups. I aim to grow as a soldier and leader and soak up as much knowledge and wisdom from you so I can hit that 40-mile target. I don't know if anyone has ever done that coming from the NG, but if not, I guess I'll be the first!

"Have a good 'un."

You are getting pretty old to be looking that far ahead.

You will need to get selected by a NG SF unit to go to SFAS, and if you want to go to the "other selection", you may not want to wait the 3-5 years to get SF qualified and complete you team time before beginning the "other selection."

Most SF guys and units take a pretty dim view of being used as a stepping stone, and it is hard enough to get through without being "that guy."

I recommend that you keep your future plans to yourself and work on getting selected for SF first, and do so quickly.

Good luck.
