Introduction
 
Hello,

My name is Matt, I'm slated to ship in March as an 18x. I am a paramedic currently, and as of tomorrow will have no more classes in college left to inhibit my efforts in the way of training, at least as far as consistency time-wise. Being almost finished with my BS in EMS, I found my definitive motivation to work toward my career in SF before becoming an emergency physician later in life. I have been lurking in these forums without any posts, since most if not all of the information I need is found with a search. I wanted to become more involved at this point, and thank all the QPs and otherwise for their dedication to this forum and their service.

I do not have any local QPs that I know of here in NM to 'mentor' or train with, as far as I know, though I've met a few in the workforce here in ABQ. If anyone on here feels they have time, I'm always open to contact with anyone that wanted to fulfill any sort of 'mentor' role. Thank you again.

Senior 18D...best job ever.

Getting ready to head to Hawaii for 3 years of slave labor, digging holes in the Pacific Rim for Mortuary Affairs but the mission is righteous and noble.

Thanks for letting me bring down the property value.

Hello!

I'm the wife of an 18x currently in the pipeline. I've been reading your forum for months, but just now officially joining. This has really helped me to know what to expect and open my eyes to the process.

Thank you!

Introduction
 
My name is Austin and I'm 21 years old with a potential ship date as an 18x in March 2017. I have a date with MEPS this upcoming Wednesday and if everything checks out I'll sign my contract on Thursday. I've wanted this for a long time and now that the opportunity is in my hands I can't help but hesitate. I left the recruiting office with a huge smile on my face and a feeling of triumph in my heart. It's been a little under an hour and since then I've spoken to my mom and dad. My mom is supportive but I'm not sure how sincere it is. My dad just wants me to put extreme consideration into it. I'm gonna sleep on it. If anyone, QP, SFAS graduate has any advice on soothing the mind and making a decision for myself, I'd appreciate it.

Hello all, my name is Benjamin and I am currently considering joining as an 18X. I was a commercial fisherman for three years, and am currently living in Wyoming until I join. I am 21 years old, and have completed two years of college (no degree) my parents were Airforce officers (nurse and F-15 pilot). Some of my favorite activities are hunting, hiking, and reading. I went to a high school jrotc military academy, and was raised in Saudi, Japan, Florida, Wisconsin, and Alaska. I am quite committed to SF but have yet to decide what the best route to SFAS is. I will be looking through threads (Have been looking for about a month for advice/answers) and if I do not find the answers I will be posting a few questions shortly. Any and all advice is appreciated. Good day.

Hey folks. I'm a 27yo Canadian Forces member looking to get into my countries special forces. Because information in regards to Canada's SF is somewhat limited unless you are actually apart of the community, I have been browsing this forum seeing all of the preparation tips and stories from the experienced members of the US SF and it is much appreciated. I figured I'd create an account to become more involved.

Greetings Gents,

My name is Dallas and I'm currently living in Southwest Phoenix. I recently separated from the Navy after 5 years of service, 3 of which were with III Marine Division in Okinawa, Japan were I had the opportunity to meet and train with some amazing men and women. I'm currently slotted to leave for OSUT in March as an 18x candidate, needless to say I'm beyond excited and thankful.

I'd like to give thanks to all the QP's running this site, I'm blown away by the resources you've provided!

If anyone is in Phoenix and wants to train shoot me a message.

FORMER PSYOP (1999-2012)
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!. -

Gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Robert Horton. Former USACAPOC (1999-2012) I have an AAS Degree in Health Sciences, Emphasis in Radiation Physics and Radiation Production. Gravitate toward Scalar-Wave Technology. I’ve read almost everything LTC Tom Bearden has ever written,… and then some; it’s all PSYOP applicable. I enjoy researching Earth History, human history, blood-lines & tribes. War's & Global Warfare, off-world and underwater technology are fascinating as well.

I am happily Married to A WOMAN. We have no childrenr, She had 4 from her previous marriage. Her eldest Son is a 16yr Vet, 2nd BATT, RANGERS & her daughter in-law, 18yr Vet M.I.both active side of the house. - I’m a 48yr old White, 9th Generation American, American War-Fighter (SAR) and a Native California National. Our family sailed to this continent with the Dutch from Brussellsgraff, Germany and helped found “German Town” in – what was then – Penn Colony; before it became Pennsylvania, and well before the united States was founded.

My [very] Great Grand-Father(s), Jacob Gardenhire Sr. and his Son Jacob Jr. sailed here together and eventually when (Grand-Pa Jacob Jr.) had a son of his own named, Jacob Jr. III, he and his Son [Jacob III] joined the Virginia Regulars and fought in the War of Independence against – what is still today – one of the greatest Tyrannies of the World,… and survived.

Since then, our family has had a representative present in every armed Conflict that the united States has been in since its inception,.. all the way to me; I am the last representative of my family’s humble line of American Revolutionary War Soldiers; Soldiers ranging from Militia Regulars, to Spy’s, to Navel Sea-Men, Army Grunts, Air-Force Technicians, all the way up to, USASOCOM to once again proudly represent our family in one of the highest echelons of Military Warfare in the World as a member of the Psychological Warfare Regiment. (USAR)

Spent my first (10) Ten Years out of High School working construction all over the Central Valley. When one day, I realize that I was not going to make my millions doing this! My life-long friends and buddies did nothing but play god-forsaken video-games,… CONSTANTLY. - I said, freak that, and in 1999, at the age of 28/29, I joined the Army (Res) as a 37F; PSYOP Specialist, and I Dag-Nab love it. Time of my life. Hell I should have joined at 18!; quay-sarah.

I was a PSYOP Specialist for 10yrs. I have the great humble honor to say that I was a Team Leader and as such, was chosen by my unit (along with a select few from the 304th) to assist in running and supporting the (1st) first (it pains me to say) eh-hem, re-class course for my MOS down at Fort Hunter Liggett, Ca. I worked directly under MSG Ming, (301st Psyop) NCOIC of Support Personnel and Support Operations for the JFK SWICC Extension of the 37F Re-Class Course, at that location.

I (and my Team) hammered out multiple support operations for the very first (2) two re-class rotations of that re-class course, and with that, I was offered a position at the Active Duty SWICC Psyop School-House by none-other than, MSG Campbell. Whom – interestingly enough – was my School-House Instructor, for what happened to be his FIRST rotation as the NEW SWICC PSYOP Instructor. ...and because we broke his cherry, we sent him off with a NO-LOSS "GO", and gave him his first plaque that said, “From the Cherry-Blast Class”. All in the spirit of Appreciation, Respect and good fun, of course. - So, it was honestly a great honor to have my Instructor offer me a position there assisting him, no matter the capacity. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take the offer at that particular time and that’s really my only claim to fame. I’m no hero.

But I knew for sure that I didn’t want to work in Marketing and the only other thing I could do with an MOS like mine was go to work somewhere in Government. So I re-classed as a 91P (X-Ray Tech) and in 2012 ETS’d and got at it.

Long and short of it, I wound up working right back in Government doing exactly what the Army has trained me to do. Ha! - I work with local Government, from the Mayer of the City, down. LOTS GOING ON! Illegal invasion and shipments of Congressional noted Foreign Enemies to the united States' Treason, intrigue and more Benghazi type "Bus-Driving" taking place. Look up Scott Bennett (2nd LT, 11th PSYOP) YOUTUBE ; Beyond Benghazi!

Look forward to getting to some of your comments on the report I've given to you all. Every single bit of it is of the utmost of importance.

Thank you for having me,

GODS SPEED.

Former US Air Force Aero Med Andrews AFB 1984-1986
 
Hi everyone, my name is Rita and I want to thank you all for your years of dedicated service to our Country. I am former Air Force from the 1980's and I was stationed at Andrews AFB Aero Medical Facility as a Medical Technician working from the staging area to the flight line. If you have ever taken a C-9 Med Flight, or C-130 during that time period, then maybe we crossed paths :) I just want to say, you guys have my deepest respect and admiration. Thank you for letting me take a peek into your world. :)

Current Army Intel Analyst
 
Greetings everyone,

My name is Peralta. I have been in the Army National Guard for 7 years ( 6 in combat arms; as a tank gunner and 1 as an intel analyst). I have been granted the privilege to join this invaluable group to hopefully learn as much as I possibly can from the vast amount of resources here. I have always wanted to become a Quiet Professional, and feel as though I am in the right place to seek guidance as I prepare for Pre-Selection. Thank you to all who have served and I look forward to connecting with you all and learning in the near future.

Best Regards,
Peralta

Hi All,

I joined this site a little over 3 years ago when I was thinking about joining the military in some capacity. I was all over the place with which branch and if I wanted to go officer or enlisted. My plans were put in the back seat after taking a job coaching soccer full-time, however, after 3 years, I still have the itch to serve.

Currently, I'm 27, live in Colorado and I am looking at the NG 19th Group located here. I'm in no shape to attend SFRE as of yet, but have been following the Selected! plan from sorbrecruiting.com. I have never been this unfit in my entire life (I played college and semi-pro soccer until I was 24) and I am ashamed at how complacent I have been with my physical fitness. I'm still strong, but my cardio is awful. I'm training for a dual purpose, first, I am in the final stages of becoming a LEO, second, the goals of obtaining a REP-63 contract at some point.

I likely won't be posting at all, but wanted to introduce myself in hopes someone wanted to become a training buddy.

That's me. If anyone is located in CO and wants a training buddy, please send me a PM.

Thanks, y'all.

Registered on here years ago at the urge of the then TF Sulu XO, but never posted. Times and life have changed a lot since then so I'm back around, and updated the profile info to reflect

35P Indonesian, SOT-A time with 1st and very little with 10th, moved to 4ID to fill in and recover from injury, ended up being the acting MICO 1SG/ phr holder while on rear d, now in ides and only have a few months tops left in.
Roommate is a SOT-B SSG at 10th, and for anyone who was around Ft Carson at the time and would remember it, he had an ND and put a 45 round through my leg in our apartment back in 2013.
Anything else, let me know.

Jeff
