Intro
 

Hey guys,
My name is Andy Chase I am a Navy FMF Corpsman serving with V38 out of Camp Lejeuen NC. I have been in the Navy going on 7 years, 5.5 of those years with the Marine Corps. Through out my short time in the Navy/Marines, I have had a lot of amazing opportunities, some of the best, were times I got to work and train with some great 18D's. Professionaly speaking there is no one better than a Delta. After hanging out with these guys it sealed the deal. I want the job, and I want the SF brotherhood. Theres a special bond between a Marine and his Corpsman, but it was an entirely different level hanging out with these guys. So, my goal is to finish up this last few years with the Navy, and then go out for SF. Its time to something better with my life than get yelled at because "Doc's hair is too long!"
I look forward to soaking up all the knowledge you gents have to offer.

Cheers

Introduction
 

Good Morning All,

I'm a 24 year old college grad. I just signed my 18X contract four days ago. I am looking forward to absorbing as much info as i can from this site, as well as the opportunity to prove that I have what it takes to be a Special Forces Soldier. Thanks to all who run this site. It has been an invaluble source of information.

Hello everyone.
I'm 26 years old and in the process of enlisting for an 18x contract. I have an uncle who was in SF for almost 30 years. I never spoke to him about it until I decided to enlist. Between what he's told me and reading through all of the posts here I know I'll be in for a demanding time in SFAS, to say the least. To say I have respect for the Quiet Professionals here would be a vast understatement. I am training myself as a full time job until I ship out and teaching myself map reading plus other valuable skills to be as prepared as possible. I should be down at MEPS in the next few weeks to receive a departure date for OSUT. Until then I'll continue to read, train, and prepare. To me, failure is not an option and I will keep my 25 meter targets in focus. Thank you for this great forum.

I have been reading the board for sometime - I appreciate the effort.

Former 11B
 

From Oregon. I'm a prior 11B did a one 3 year contract for the Old Guard.

I have been out almost a year and lived in Mexico for the first part of the year but now working a desk is killing me slowly inside and will certainly go crazy if I do it life long.

My plan is to go back in under an 18x contract before the end of the year. Currently I am working on getting my run and ruck up to par again as I will not have the OSUT warm up and will be going straight to Airborne School then right into SOPC and what not once I go back in.

Thank you QP's for all of the valuable information and great humor on this forum.

Been a member for awhile but never posted. I have served in the Reserve Component for 14 years (5 Navy, 9 Army National Guard). I served a year in Afghanistan and it was quite the experience. I always loved America but I came home with a renewed sense of appreciation for this great country. I use this forum to keep me motivated to pursue excellence. I also enjoy the wealth of information the Quiet Professionals have to offer. Thank you all (SF) for your service! You are definitely the "Tip of the Spear".

Recent Q-Course Grad
 

I’ve been a member of PS.com since 2009 and this site was an invaluable resource in my preparation for Selection and SFQC. I have never posted anything on the forums here simply because I used this site as a tool to read, study and learn the things I needed to be successful. Only after graduating the Q-course am I posting an introduction.

However, as a recent Q-course graduate, I understand that only now have I stepped up to the ‘starting line’. So I find myself returning to this website in an effort to continue to learn so that I can make myself a value-added member to my team.

I’ve spent two years enlisted as a 13F, six years as an 11A with one of those in Eastern Afghanistan. Right now, I’m trying to soak up every bit knowledge I can from my NCOs.

In addition, 18C4V is my 18Z and 18C/GS 0602 is my JR 18C.

Welcome aboard SPO35880 :D

Welcome, Brother! With that attitude, you will go far in SF. You are blessed with wise, experienced NCOs. Learn, absorb, work - you ARE the future of SF!

Welcome Sir...Lissen to those guys and all your NCOs.

Welcome to SF and here spo35880.

To the aspiring candidates, reread this post and follow his example; read, absorb, jump the hurdle, and keep learning. Don't quit.

Introduction
 

Hello all, and Thank you for the knowledge you have posted on this site, it has been very helpful.
I am a 25yo 18X canidate, shipping in Spring of 2013.
I have been married for 7 years, and been together as a couple for 10. I am also the proud father of a beautiful 9 month old daughter (at the time of this writing), and a 6 year employee in a medical laboratory.
I found myself looking for a drastic change in my life, so I stopped by the local Army recruiter's office to see what I could do for the country that has done me so well my whole life. As soon as I seen the "18X" contract selection, I knew it was "Go big, or Go home."

Right now, I'm doing my PT everyday, and keeping my eye on that 25m target.

That's quite enough about me, I'll zip it tight, and continue to read and absorb the very helpful and unique knowledge available.

God bless.

-John

hello
 

Hi, my name is Brad, don't let the username fool you. I am 20 years old and leave for basic training in January. I attended community college for a few years after high school because everyone told me that you have to go to college to be successful. However, I was never at peace there and knew I wanted to do something bigger with my life. So here I am, trying to pursue a way to serve the people around me and the country that I love.

I enjoy any outdoor activity from hunting to snowboarding. And I like to challenge myself physically and mentally.

I owe everything in my life to my savior Jesus Christ. Without Him, I am nothing.

INTRO
 

I have enjoyed my time serving within Special Forces for last 20 years and glad to have met many good friends along the way. But as the inevitable everything must come to an end so I have started a new chapter and my family and I are enjoying it.
