Good day all,
Orion here. After working for a year as a contractor in Iraq I got second hand exposure to what life is like for Soldiers in combat arms MOS's (I led a very sheltered, CONUS, REMF 4 years in the AF) I was lucky enough to be mentored by a very squared away SSG 13F, and an even more squared away SFC 11C Platoon Sergeant for the duration of my contract, and I've realized that the job, the mission and the life of a combat arms Soldier really appeals to me. While researching the different combat arms MOS's to figure out which one might be the best fit for me, I learned of SF. My search for more information about SF led me to LF.net, and SOCNET of course and ultimately here to PS.com. After learning more about SF and the varied missions, particularly the UW/FID missions, the "by, with, and through" attitude, the cultural sensitivity, and the unconventional/outside-the-box nature of SF, I'm convinced that it's the branch for me.

I'd like to thank the mods who run PS.com for allowing someone like me to join, and I'd like to thank all the Quiet Professionals and members of the site for the priceless information they offer to an outsider like me. I will now sit back, stay in my lane, continue PT'ing, reading Get Selected! and PS.com. Thank you again.
