Hello to all the quiet professionals out there. Thanks for your service and thank you especially for taking the time to give advice on this website.

A little about myself:

I served with a reserve infantry battalion from 2006-2012 ( MOS 0311). Made it to Iraq once and Afghanistan once. Got my BA in English.

I'm good with languages. I learned a smattering of Arabic in Iraq and quite a bit of Pushtu in Afghanistan. My DLAB scores got me selected for an 8 week Pashtun immersion course prior to my deployment. Doesn't sound like much but it was a big deal for the battalion to send the few that went. I'm studying Arabic now (thank you post 9/11 GI bill).

I do not flex my nuts. Ever.

I read Maj. Martin's book and have made the commitment, mentally, to go to SFAS. I have not talked to a PS recruiter yet. I did get the green light from my better half.

There is a lot of info on this website. I'll post my questions in the designated areas. Any feedback and guidance would be greatly appreciated.

"Get Selected" strongly encourages finding a mentor to assist in prepping for SFAS. I don't live next to an Army installation that has SF assets, so my options are limited. If anyone would be willing to establish a correspondence via email, to answer questions please let me know.

thanks for all the help.
