Good Afternoon Gentlemen,

My name is TJ and I am 32 y/o and ex Army (3rd Inf. TOG E. Co. 01-05), have always dreamed of becoming & looked up to SF guys. We had a 1SG who had his beret and I always thought, he was the coolest, high speed dude I've ever known. I let bad decisions while I was in the Army (ex-wife) prevent me from actually taking a shot at selection. Had a guy from my platoon get his beret. Not sure if he's a member of this forum.

Upon the leaving the military I worked towards and earned my B.S. in Civil Engineering. I am currently working as a Civil Engineer in Training and am on track to have my Professional Engineering License in the State of Texas early next year sometime.

I just wanted to try to make sure and abide by all the forum rules/OPSEC in making my post and would also like to thank each and every one you guys for what you have done and continue to do for this great nation we live in.

Good Evening Gentlemen,

My name is Mark aka "Hendo" (last name abbreviated), I'm 28 years old and currently a student at University of South Florida majoring in International Studies with a minor in Intelligence Studies. I'm a former Marine. I did 5 years active duty as a SIGINT collector/communicator, and have recently transferred to the FLARNG after a break in service. Right now I'm slotted as a 35M awaiting to attend MOS school and then following on for my language training at DLI. Right now I'm assigned to 53rd IBCT HHC, drilling in the 2 shop, however I do hope after becoming MOSQd to transfer to 20th Group as Support, with hopes of one day attending SFRE/SFAS when I think I'm prepared enough for it. The Green Berets are initially what got me interested in joining the military. I'd kicked around the idea of joining the military in high school, but I remember watching "Inside the Green Berets" by National Geographic in 2007 and I knew then and there that's what I wanted to do. I looked into joining the Army under a SF contract and new that at the time my physical fitness and discipline would not get me there, so in my mind I would do the next best thing and join the Marines. I look forward to learning a lot from everything this board and it's members have to offer.

Respectfully,

-Hendo

Hello,

I am a 20 year old college student at Liberty University currently doing online courses for a CJ Degree. I am working as an EMT-B in Private Transport and doing volunteer 911 at a nearby town. My goal is to become an 18D. I hope to learn much from my time here.

Hello all. My name is Michael. I joined the Air Force back in 2006 with the idea that Security Forces would allot me my scratch for an itch I had. I missed my basic date due to a vehicle accident and was moved from my Security Forces spot. When I was healed I shipped out as a Bioenvironmental Engineering Tech which is pretty close to what the 74D (CBRN) guys do in the Army. I am more than great at my job but 10 years later I still have a calling for something else. The idea of not only protecting people that couldn't otherwise do that for themselves but also teaching them how to take their matters into their own hands is something that exactly fits my draw in life. I am currently in the process of switching from blue to green in the NG (I am full time ANG right now) and the first chance I have, going to SFRE and so forth. I want nothing more than to be an 18B with the 20th in Al. I will not take up much time with questions, just here to learn and observe.

One final note, I highly look up to you guys and look forward to the opportunity to prove myself. Thank you for what you do!

Introduction
 

My name is Quinton Burton. I'm a college student at Lansing Community College who is in the process of transferring to CMU to earn a BA in Psychology. I'm also currently serving in the Army National Guard as a 15T. The love of my country and burning desire to serve and be apart of something bigger than myself is my primary reason for joining this site and gathering information from true professionals who've "been there, done that". I've had the dream and desire to join the ranks of the US Army Special Forces for a few years but it was important that I finished school before I began to head down that path. Now that my time as a college student is coming to a close it is important that I continue training, becoming more proficient at soldiering and learn what I can from Quiet Professionals themselves. Thank you for this opportunity and your time.

Intro
 

A former 18B who got to play around in the sandbox in the mid 90's for a couple of years on 532. Spent some more time in the same AO '03 to '07 and during that time had the pleasure of working with some teams again, as a civilian. Instructed Protective Services for a year in Leonard Wood and then found myself in Montana. Have had my SFA application sitting on my desk for couple of years now and will go ahead and get it sent in too (procrastination being a bad fault of mine).

Hi, this introduction will be a bit different the most. This username represents a group of current and former "Operators" who are working on creating a Federal law that will allow us to nationally conceal carry.

With that being said, a thread in General Discussions will be started to discuss this matter. Thanks.

Introduction
 

Hi all. I'm 25 and hoping to join the Army as an 18X.
I have been reading the posts on this website for awhile now and believe I understand enough to ask questions.
Thank you to the moderators for running this site, to the QPs willing to share their hard-earned knowledge, and to those serving, both past and present.

Hello, James from NY, 29. Just finished MEPS the other day, ideally signing an 18x contract next week.

Introduction
 

I am a prior enlisted AirForce 3P0. Got curious about 18X after talking to an Army Recruiter. Something came over me and I've been training and researching since.

This website and forum provides invaluable amounts of information on becoming a Quiet Professional. I am grateful to have found it.

Finally Going to Post
 

I've been a member here for a while but never felt the urge to post or reply because most of the time you all have it covered. It's been 16 years since my last LES but some things you can never get out of your system.

MS3 ROTC
 

I am an ROTC MS 3, looking to make my way down eventually to apply for an officer slot. Look forward to contributing and learning here.
