[_S2_]

My name is Joe and I graduated SFAS 05-08, currently awaiting airborne school.

My current MOS is a 19D, and I was deployed to FOB Normandy, Iraq 10/06 to 12/07. I served as a designated marksmen, small kill team squad leader, humvee gunner, and bradley gunner. During my deployment I was award an ARCOM w/ V device for taking out a key al-qaida leader, IED emplacer, repelling an enemy attack to overrun my team's position, and identifying an enemy sniper position and guiding CAS to eliminate the threat.

I spent some time with the ODA at FOB Normandy receiving marksmanship training and also accompanied an ODA on a rescue mission for an American POW. All of which turned me on to Special Forces, along with a desire to be the best and fight with the best.

I have been studying these forums for awhile now, and I am utterly humbled by the experiences and advice by the professionals in this community.
