Introduction
 

Hello, gentlemen. I am a current senior in college, and will graduate with a B.S. in Physics this spring (May 2016). I am actively working with a recruiter in the Charlotte NC area to secure an 18x contract. I am a former NCAA Division 1 wrestler, and I am currently rucking, running, lifting, and reading to prepare myself for the road ahead. I am currently knee deep in Get Selected!, what an outstanding guide. Thank you all for your service, and I am eager to continue reading to glean as much information as possible.

Hello all. My name is Tom and I am a civilian. I just singed an 18x contract and am leaving for OSUT in late April. Thank you for making this resource available. Its invaluable to guys like me. Im very excited to begin this adventure. Ive been lurking here for a few months now, sitting quietly in the corner being a sponge. I will continue to do so but may post occasionally if Im unable to find an answer using the search bar. Thank you all again.

Hello all, first post here. I'm very new to the army. Been in for 11 months now. Currently stationed in Germany. My mos is 91b wheel vehicle mechanic. Right now I'm in the process of raising my gt score, I start fast class in two weeks. After I get that to 110 or higher, I'm going to go to sfas. i am 20 years young. I have so many questions for you guys but I haven't even scratched the surface of this site so I'll get back to reading. :)

Hello gentleman,

I am currently serving with 5th SFG. I was directed to the forum by members of my team who spoke highly of its content and members.

Welcome all.

Hi I am 19 years old and I'm a student at Michigan state university. I am seeking to further gain knowledge in this field. I am very interested in joining the Military, it is something I have always wanted to do, as I have a strong urge to serve this country that has given me so much. Joining the military runs in my family as my dad, and My grandparents all served.

I would like to thank all who have served and took the ultimate risk to defend this country. Thank you.

I served w/ 1st, 3rd, 7th and 10th SFG(A)...at least until I got tired of each Group and did something new...hence the global name. I am retired now working a SOF/USSOCOM WW program. Thanks for the signup...now let me figure out how to use this site. Fortunately, I have a fellow SFer who works here with me who does what he's told...thanks!
cheers!

John. 22. Detroit, MI. Civilian. Hopefully 18x soon.

Welcome !!

My name is Neal, and I signed an 18X contract a few weeks ago. I leave for basic in March. I'm excited about the journey. I'm here for the information and resources provided.

Greetings all. My name is Randy. I retired from the Army Reserve Components after 34 years and 9 months. I served as both enlisted and officer. I began my part-time military career by signing up in a Louisiana Army National Guard SF Unit in 1972. I was in college, on our school’s parachute team, and learned of an SF Unit Breaux Bridge LA through a friend who was a member of that unit. I loved jumping out of planes! During my six months in the unit before I went to basic I was included in many activities including rappelling off interstate bridges under construction. I did not know that my unit would be deactivated while I was on IADT. To make a long story short, I ended up transferring to a Mississippi National Guard SF Unit where I was working on my “paper flash”. I had some great training, weekend drills, jumps and AT while I was there.

Fate would have it that in 1975 my civilian job moved me beyond the 5 hours I was driving to drills. As a corporal, I simply could not drive any further. I transferred to an Army Reserve Medical Unit and was trained as a medic. This got me interested in medicine and I ultimately went to medical school. So it wasn't all bad. I was commissioned as a Medical Corps Officer in the AR upon receiving my MD and served out the remainder of my service as such which included seven mobilizations.

I’ve always wished I could have completed my SF training. On one of my mobilizations I worked with a co-located ODA in Afghanistan, particularly their 18D. It reminded me of my earlier career plans. I admire all of the Quiet Professionals and am honored to be here. With participation in this site, I hope to increase my knowledge of SF topics, maintain situational awareness and maybe contribute to the shared information. I encourage all of these young guys here to pursue their dreams.

Jake. 24. Columbus, OH. Civilian. Hopefully 18x soon.

Name's J. 23 here at Ft. Leavenworth waiting on a waiver to sign my 18x contract. Been lurking for months. Thanks to everyone for the information on this site.
