Hello,

I joined the Army Reserve in 2007 at the start of my senior year in college. I had spent 3 years in Air Force ROTC and it just wasn't for me. I hold an MI mos and deployed to Iraq where I had my first interaction with an ODA team.

Like many, I was always interested in SF but assumed that my 5'10, 160 pound frame didn’t meet the vertical and horizontal requirements. My interactions with the ODA team (specifically a Fox) sealed the deal for me and I am training to attend a NG SFOP.

Currently I am an engineering student at night and work days as a DOD security professional. I have been 'Trolling' the site for over a year now and with the ruck splits getting lower and the PT score getting higher I figured it was time to throw up the intro.

Thanks for all the advice so far and I look forward to everything I will continue to learn leading up to SFOP.
