Hello,
My name is léo, I’m trying to be a decent 18A in the french SF ;-).
At the moment I’m still in the French 18A training course. I will be in charge in January. After a military duty for two years (light armored cavalry 1998) I have been enlisted in SOF for five years. I became NCO in 2002 still in SOF with sniper and close protection team skills. I’ve been commissioned in 2005.

I went to Afghanistan once and Africa several times (Ivory coast, Djibouti, Gabon).
A master thesis has been made in 2006 by myself about the relationship between conventional forces and special forces in military operations in urbain areas in western armies from 1970 to 2006.
I’m 32 and I’m still studying in order to prepare another thesis about the career of commissioned officers in US, UK, Swedish, IDF and French SOF. If anybody is interested by the subject, feel free to pm me about this topic.
I’m glad to find your community, we are not so close in France. I hope I could bring with humility something to your assembly.
Sorry for my poor level of english
Archade
