I know this is the intro thread...but, nice post sir.

Congratulations. Good luck to your son..

I am a 28 year old 13F with three years active duty time with the 82nd, and an honorable discharge July 2011. I am currently in a reserve drill sergeant unit and work as a substitute teacher.

I have been visiting this site for about three years now off and on, and thought I would introduce myself. I have enjoyed reading and share most of your prospectives on the news.

I have always wanted to be an 18 series, but currently I see that I can do a lot for soldiers as a civilian. We will see.

Intro
 

Alas, it would appear my old intro has disappeared.

My name is Nate. I'm a soon-to-be-graduate from Miami University (the one in Ohio). I'll be commissioning in August '12, branching in September '12. I have to wait until September to find out, but I've requested Infantry on Active Duty. I've spent a lot of time perusing through this site, as well as picking the brain of my uncle, former 2/75 and 20th SFG (retired MSG type). I'd like to say thanks for providing such a wealth of knowledge and the opportunity to learn from some of the best the Army has to offer. Haven't really found a resource that can match this.

Eventually when the time comes I plan on making a run at Selection. Until that time, the ears and eyes are open.

Thanks again gentlemen, stay safe.

Gentlemen,

I've been lurking for around 6 months and wanted to say thank you for the wealth of knowledge you all have shared here. Above all, thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Introduction
 

Hello, I am a 20 year old from Upstate NY. I am an 18x who leaves June 5th for basic at Fort Benning. I came to this site for any helpful information I might receive that I can use along the way.

Thank You,
Jesse

You have an outstanding attitude.

introduction
 

Greetings,
I was recently introduced to this forum by a friend who I met in the 18E course at Ft. Bragg. I have been out now for some time, since 1992. I was active from 1983 to 1986 with 10th group as an 18C. After my active time I was with 11th group at Ft. Devens as an 18C, and then 18E after obtaining that MOS. I moved to Colorado in 1992 to study anthropology at CU Boulder, focusing on Mesoamerican archaeology. My primary focus now is my 7 year old son whose latest passion is the Scuba Ranger program. He still has about 2 1/2 years till he can get certified, but he's already planning which wrecks he's going to start with.
Looking forward to reading posts- especially in the fin, fur, and fieldcraft areas.

NICE TO BE HERE

Updating profile
 

Thank you and JJ, very sensible and I have followed your advice with the update of m profile.

I look forward to reading your comments and the rest of the QP's on all matters great and small.

I am here to learn and I find that is benefited by being a man of few words.

Intro
 

Hello all,

I'm a former 18D from 5th Group who became so enthralled with my medical duties that I decided to become a doctor. I am now a cherry LT, and start at USUHS in August. I look forward to checking in periodically to know what's going on in the SF community, as I continue to stand in humbled admiration of the men with whom I served.

And if anyone knows how to reach a former 3rd Group MSG who liked "shooting guns and playing banjo" and was Robin Sage cadre around '04, I'd love it if I could have a word of thanks carried along... his instruction and guidance was a real asset.
