Welcome all!

Team Sergeant

Thanks for having me
 

Howdy, thanks for having me. I'm just a regular guy from a small town in the South that likes running, hunting, picking things up and carrying stuff. This site has a lot of good info in it so I wanted to say thank you for giving me this opportunity. If there's no questions for me I'm gonna shut up now. I'll be in the corner with my ear to the rail if anyone needs me.

Introduction
 

Hello all, my name is Joe. I’m active duty Army, have been for about eight years now. Currently on deployment in AFGAN, this is my fourth deployment. I attended SFAS in September 2012 then got swept up on deployment. I’ll attend SFQC when I return state side, should get my dates next month, pushing for March. My wife and I are very excited to start our new life in FT Bragg when I get back.

Failure is not an option!

Hello everyone,

I am currently a 16 year old high school {student} that is planning on pursuing a career in Special Forces. I am planning on serving in the regular Army for an enlistment before trying my hand at SF. I have immense respect for the Special Forces soldiers and know that I have much to learn.

Intro
 

Hello everyone I am currently AD Air Force SERE Specialist. My ETS is 11SEP12. I am trying to get a 18X contract. The recruiter said that it might be difficult because I am an E-5 and they want E-4's. If I cannot get and AD contract I would like to try out for A/5-19th SFG(A) in Southern California.

Introduction and delurk
 

Hello all,

I am a regular civilian living in North Carolina, and I've lurked on and off around this site for a few years, which I originally found while trying to find information about an individual in a book I was reading at the time. I'm a software engineer, I like playing just about any sport, I actively run, cycle, swim, and study aikido, I like reading about Central Asian history, medieval Islamic architecture, and well-written science for the layman.

I'm interested in finding out info about my late uncle, Robert E. Austin, Jr., who I believe served in the C/??/20 in or around 1964-1965, in a detachment (ODB, I think, I don't know if he did time in an ODA) in Jacksonville, FL. He passed away in September of last year in less than ideal circumstances and deserves to be remembered. I would love to hear from anyone who might have known him during his time in service.

Introduction
 

Hi,

Currently an Officer Candidate in the CA ARNG, graduated BCT in June and am awaiting an OCS date in early 2013.

I just noticed my old intro was completely removed when the old intro thread was deleted, so here we go again.

I served 4+ years AD in the USMC as an 0331, and I currently serve in the reserves under the same MOS.

Posting? OK I'm new at it.
 

Hey all. My time in SF was with 5th Group when we were still in Bragg. then DLI then 1st Group. After Oki, I made my way to OH and served with 11SF then 19SF, while working in law enforcement. I bought my military time and retired early as a precinct sgt. with Columbus Police. Later I worked with the UN in East Timor, then worked contracts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Oh the fun. Last year I hiked the A.T. start to finish as a thru-hiker, 5 months. My trail name is Mingo. I went with that because it is the name of my Masonic Lodge. Mingo Lodge 171.

I don't usually get into political debates. I voted for both Bushes which I don't mind saying and I voted for Obama to which I feel equally valid for doing. I vote for whom I believe will serve our country during its current needs. I have never spoken poorly about a sitting president, not even Clinton during the Monica affair. Calling our president names and saying crap like "get the guns" is out right wrong! Being in SF gave me enough strength and knowledge to realize our government is not perfect but it is stronger when we work together.
