Introduction
 

I am 23, entering my last semester of college; attaining my degree and becoming a Special Forces Soldier are my two ultimate priorities. I look forward to becoming just a little wise from you guys. Thank you for your service and for this forum.

Introduction
 

Hi all,
My name is Mitch. I am an 18Z currently working at the Special Warfare Medical Group. I spent all my time as an 18D in 1st Group. I get a lot of questions about the new SOCM/ SFMS courses, so I figured I would join this forum and hopefully get the word out to folks what we are doin over here.

Cheers,
Mitch

Introductions
 

I am a high school senior who plans to have a career in SF after college. I have joined this forum to learn more about SF, and ask questions if necessary.
Thank You

I am SGT H (Team Sergeant edit, no last names required.). I am a 19D with the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. Currently, I am deployed to Afghanistan. It was a individual deployment to help the Army Corp of Engineers. I provide crew served weapon security from a MATV while they conduct inspections of sites all over the south and southwest districts. I showed an interest in C/2/19th SFG a few years ago. I should've took it. But, I have matured alot and gained alot more experience since then. I feel I am ready to give it my all this time. I sent an email to the recruiter a few days ago. I hope to get a jump on the process of interstate transfer or atleast get the right contacts for when it is time to do so. I work with former SF and current SF operators here. They give me lots of hints about Selection and the Q. I am a sponge! I am willing to take any advice given. I have been told by many Senior NCO's that I have a good ability to keep calm under stress and strong will to learn. Thank you.

Introduction
 

Hello all. I am a 29 year old male and I'm a full time Firefighter/Medic in the DC-Metro area. I have been in the Maryland Army National Guard as a Combat Engineer for 3 years.

I found this site through SOCnet while looking for information to make me a better all-around soldier (i.e. tips/info. about Land Nav/rucking/PT/etc). I started by reading through threads of interest, and I've since registered so I can use the Search feature.

To the Quiet Professionals: thanks for your innumerable sacrifices in your Service to our Country.

Hello all, let me start off by saying that im a 68w awaiting to be shipped to basic and hoping my recruiters can squeeze an op40 into my contract before i leave. Basically im trying to get as much information as possible about.. well.. everything. My goal is to become a quite professional, but I'm trying to decide whether i want to go 18x and go straight into the program or go through ranger school first and then go into SF after i have a few years of experience under my belt.

Good Morning all,
My name is Jon and I am a 18B with 19th Group. I like to keep in touch with the latest information.

My name is Kirk - I hooked up with this site a couple of years ago and then forgot about it (creeping Alzheimer's, no doubt). I was a commo man in the 7th and 8th Groups, spent some years with C/3/11 when I got out, came back on active duty with the 7th and was assigned to SWC when I retired in '95. I worked for a couple of military contractors for a few years, but now I spend my time sitting out on the porch of my house in the mountains of western NC listening to the creek run by, messing around with my collection of old military weapons, and taking an occasional shot at whatever looks like it needs to be shot at. Check with me for the current password before you come up my road. My wife says I can be an obnoxious SOB but I wouldn't shoot a brother.

My name is Brandon, I'm a 20 year old college student and a National Guardsman. I look forward to learning all I can from those that have been downrange as I pursue my goal of becoming a Special Forces soldier.

I'm Michael R. 29Yrs Old, Former U.S. Army with the 25th ID. I just want to say hello to all.

Good afternoon
 

First and foremost let me start by thanking all the Quiet Professionals on this forum for serving our country with honor. Thank you again for starting this forum with all this information and advice, for men such as myself who wish one day to join your ranks and maybe serve right alongside of you.

My name is Gustavo, 24 year old Cuban-American male from Miami, Florida. I work as a Document Management Specialist for Miami-Dade Public Housing. Married and Father of two beautiful little girls’ ages 6 and 3 and expecting another baby girl in October. I want to go Army National Guard and hopefully get prepared enough to make selection, pass the Q course and join 20th Group 3rd Battalion Special Forces in Ocala, Florida. As of right now aiming at my 25 meter targets which are obtaining my associates degree in Criminal Justice and getting in top shape before even speaking to an SF recruiter. It’s an honor to read all your informative posts and process all the information and advice the QP’s give out on this forum. Thank you all once again.

Madruga's Intro
 

I'm 24 and graduated with my B.A. in Criminal Justice (an admittedly limited degree due to its lack of specificity) this past May from a small college in Georgia. I'm 5'10, 200 lbs., with ~15% bf. I'm currently restructuring my workouts to focus on cardio and body weight exercises as opposed to my regular routine of heavy weight lifting.

I will be enlisting in the next few days and I am certainly hoping that the ubiquitously discussed 18x MOS will pop up. I required a moral waiver for a DUI arrest in 2009 and a medical waiver for a knee surgery in 2007. If I can't secure the 18x contract, I'm considering 68w.

Barring events that are beyond my control, I know that I will be a SF soldier one day; however, I'm currently focusing on getting to BCT and simply doing my best in all areas. My path to the Army Special Forces is uncertain right now, but I look forward to working hard as I progress there.

God bless.
