Introduction
 

Hey, I'm a high school senior going to college soon, during which I will plan to enlist as an 18x. I registered almost exclusively for the use of the search function and to learn from the vast wealth of existing information in these boards, but maybe a situation will arise in which I might make a post so I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to do an introduction.

Thanks for everything you all do here and out there.

First off, I just wanted to thank you guys for hosting this site. I've been coming here for years now, and honestly, it's the only site I visit every day.

As for me, presented with the option of joining the Navy in hopes of becoming an aviator or staying home with the girl I hoped to one day marry, I chose the latter. Twenty years later I'm a software architect and we're raising our family in the California bay area. Probably the only good thing I can say about the majority of the people in my industry is they scare easily. Like the first time they approach me and see the hand loaded (dummy) rounds strewn about my desk. :p

Introduction
 

Greetings QPs and other guests.

I go by Spalding. (Last name)
I'm 23 years old, and aspiring to join the SF ranks.
I went to a community college through a technical program intended to fill positions in the nuclear industry, and landed a very solid job in Radiation Protection after I graduated.

However, after a few years things have grown stale and this position is just not making the difference in the world and in my life that I went in thinking it would.

So I scratched the itch I've always had and enlisted in the Army with an 18x contract, believing I can make it, and hoping I can make a difference in this world of ours.

I've been browsing this and a few other websites for several months now, and joined to make use of the search function, and to thank the Quiet Professionals for running this site and for everything else they do.

I ship out October 13th for OSUT, and have been getting ready physically and mentally by following a lot of advice from you QPs.
Thank You again.

Greetings,

I am Danial
Prior Service 11B2P.
OIF 07-09

I have been lurking/reading this forum since 2009, decided to finally register a couple of years ago and realized I never posted an Introduction. So here I am. At this point in life I am finding an itch that I never got to scratch and may try and scratch it soon. QP's appreciate all the free life advice/lessons.

Greetings and introduction
 

Gentlemen, it is truly an honor to introduce myself to a group of individuals such as yourselves. Spending the last few weeks combing over this forum has already been a huge boon to my community knowledge and a humbling one for my ego; needless to say, said ego been checked at the proverbial door.

My name is Nick and I am a recent graduate from a four-year private college. I've been interested in the Special Operations Forces (SOF) community ever since I was a child, but it wasn't until my junior year of college that I had an experience and mentorship opportunity that showed me Special Forces (SF) was where I should set my sights.

I am signed into the Delayed Enlistment Program (DEP) with a ship date to One Station Unit Training (OSUT) on 21 MAR 2016. Until then, I am working on my family farm and focusing on training. I know I have a long road ahead and hope to every day demonstrate to this community and the SF community-at-large that I have what it takes to make it and work for and with the community.

Thank you for your time; I look forward to learning from and growing with the best.


-Nick

Introduction
 

Good morning,
My name is Alberto, former 5th SFG(A) SOT-A Member and now going to be stationed with 10th SFG(A). I have always love referring to this site for my questions.
As always, it's an honor to serve with you all.

Hi everyone; it seems popular to put your name on here but I'm not a fan of it, so just call me Tea. I've been a member on here since July 2015 and I'm here to mostly lurk and devour all the information that I can about SF.

My partner is an 18x candidate. I'm trying to learn as much as I can in order to have a clear idea of what he'll be doing and perhaps the best way that I can support him. He leaves for basic training in October, so the journey is just beginning.

Cheers,
Tea

Hello, all.

I am an Air Force PJ, looking to add another resource for knowledge and perspective.

Thanks to all those that run this site; I'll be reading a lot and posting very little. I appreciate the opportunity to observe.

Introduction
 

Hi guys,

My name is Wes Kennedy, I'm a former Canadian Special Forces Operator and I now run Elite Training Programs, where we train Special Operations candidates and other tactical athletes in becoming as prepared as possible on selection. You can check out the site here (lots of free content): https://elitetrainingprograms.com and you can check out this recent podcast I did with the guys over at SOFREP where we discussed the future of tactical fitness: http://sofrep.com/sofrep-radio/wes-k...pecial-forces/

I heard about this site through one of my new athletes, and will frequent the forums regularly to answer any questions where I can feel I can offer you guys' support.

Good luck on all of your individual endeavors,

Wes

Welcome all.

You might want to reread the Board Rules:

I would suggest that you also refrain from commenting on what it takes to complete the SFAS and SFQC unless you are a graduate.

Hey how's everything doing??
Clearly I'm new to this forum.
Let's get down to it---Army prior service currently on the road to get back in the military with an 18x contract. I have a medical issue which i initially had to get a waiver for in 2006. I've been skimming through the posts and Im blown away by the amount of info available on here. In closing its great to be a part of this and I look forward to talking to you guys.

Reintroduction
 

Good morning everyone. I am prior Army and worked in public safety as a firefighter/paramedic/rescue diver before I got married and became a father.

My purpose coming here has changed since I joined in Dec, 2011. I initially joined for personal self-improvement, but my goal has shifted towards self-improvement to serve others.

I see experienced Scouters here and would like to benefit from their knowledge.

Thank you for sharing your house with me.

Shockingly, it's been almost 8 years since my last post (and 11 years since signing up here), so I thought a refresh on my introduction might be reasonable and in keeping with the intent of this section.

Since my original introduction back in 2004 (back then in the general medical section - I don't think there was an introduction thread back then) I've traveled much more, trained much more, picked up another language, and learned a lot more about the world (I think) and about myself (I know).

I've posted this refresh on my own introduction because so much time has passed and because I'm planning to again regularly participate in this forum, which I consider to be among the most level headed of forums that talks about things I'm interested in.

I've updated my profile as well.

With respect, I look forward to the conversations.

(My original introduction can be found in the General Medical section, which I dug up with a search. Apologies for any confusion.)
