Hello all,

First, I would like to thank everyone involved in the creation and maintenance of this site. It is a God-send to career minded individuals that seek information. My name is SPC Vangarde (Ben) and I am a 26 year old husband, father and OEF '10 veteran. I enlisted into the AD army, then transitioned to the VANG. My service obligation began about 3 and a half years ago. I have what has become an obsession with becoming a member of the QP community. A large part of what draws me to the brotherhood is the character of the QPs that I have met both overseas and here at home. It is my intent to make an educated decision and commit...

Introduction
 

Hi, everyone!

My name is Lu and I am a Chemical Soldier in the greatest armed force in the world, the US Army. I’m glad to have found this forum and I am learning a great deal about its Professional Soldiers.

I’m 32 years old and I enjoy technology, computers, foreign languages, flying, skydiving, rock-climbing, and the outdoors. It is driving me nuts to work in an office all day.

I am originally from Brazil and I am very proud to be an American. The best way I can explain my love and passion for this country is by the simple figurative analogy of fatherhood. Brazil is my biological father, while the U.S. is my real father and I will make him proud.

I’ve been waiting a long time for my opportunity to attend SFAS. I will not disappoint the ones who came before me and I will be there for the ones beside me.

I wanna fight the bad guys and bring justice around the world. It is great not to live in fear and freedom is inside of me. Thank you all QP’s for what you endure!

Hello all, I'm Nick. Currently in the pipeline here at Bragg, but I've been lurking and reading since well before I left for OSUT.

I'm originally from VA, and attended college there, where I received a degree in Political Science (focus in Natl Security) and Business Management, with a minor in Economics. I received 18B as my MOS and Dari as my language, and like I said, I'm currently in the Q Course.

Thanks for all the info, this site has been a great help (and has a lot of great info for those looking to come into the program)

My name is Sean. I did almost 8 years as a Reserve MP in the Army. I have spent a total of 30 months in Iraq and I am hoping I will get the chance to contribute to the war in Afghanistan before it ends. I currently have an 18X contract and am waiting to ship. It was a long and difficult road for me to attain the contract due to being prior service. I am honored and humbled that I will be given the opportunity to see if I really have what it takes to be apart of something so important and selective. This site was highly recommended by a 10th Group QP who volunteers his own time to answer Army Special Forces questions in the 18X chat room on FutureSoldiers.com. I was completely amazed at the amount of quality information and advice I have found here. Thank you to all who have contributed, it is GREATLY appreciated.

Hello All,

My name is Kevin, and I'm graduating from college in a week. I'm finishing up my packet for OCS, and am very interested in going SF when the time comes, but want to do a lot of research before I make the decision (which is a long way down the road). I also have a family member who is a SF LTC who just returned home from a 17-month deployment.

Thank you in advance for all the wonderful advice on this board.

Hmm thought I posted an intro before but maybe not... Anyway long time lurker. I'm a 29yo 18E, just finished up the Q in September 2011. Still at Fort Bragg for additional language training but I'm due to head to Okinawa fairly soon hopefully.

Hello all
 

Hi, everyone!

You can call me Mike and I am currently an E-6 with the US Army. I've known about this site and read it many a times throughout the years but finally am introducing myself.

I’m 26 years old and I enjoy rugby, hockey, the NFL, outdoors, crossfit, movies, helping friends and many other things.

I am originally from Phoenix, AZ, but currently reside in San Diego, CA, to attend law school.

I've always been incredibly interested in SF and every year it is my desire to go to SFAS, just hasn't happened as of yet as I am currently in the reserves. However, with the latest business rules of transitioning to the active component allowing me once again to transition if I wish has re-invigorated my desire to train and finally do what I wanted to do upon enlisting.

For the most part I will not be commenting, rather I will be reading and soaking up everything. So I will state this here, as I am incredibly thankful for all of what you guys do, so much respect for you all, and I also am incredibly appreciative of this site and all the information and wealth that you impart for us to read.

Super excited for my buddy who was selected last year and hopefully in time, I will have readied myself long before testing my skills and abilities at SFAS.

-Mike

Hello Quiet Professionals, my name is Adrian XXXXX. I am a 16 going on 17 high school student from Raleigh, NC. I aspire to serve in a special operations force, specifically Army Special Forces, Rangers, Navy SEALs, or Air Force Combat Control.

Thank you for your service.

I have been lurking on this site for a couple years now and thought I should finally introduce myself. I finished up the SFQC about a year ago and am back at my full time job as a Federal LEO. This site has been a great resource in preparation for SFAS, during the SFQC, and now as a cherry in Group. Thanks to everyone who runs this site and to all who have shared their knowledge and experience.
