Hi All,

First off, I would like to say thanks to those who administer this site and those QPs who contribute to these forums. For someone like me who is strongly considering pursuing a career in SF, this forum is a wealth of knowledge and extremely valuable.

I currently live in Northern California and graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in Finance and a minor in International Relations. I have been working in the professional world for 5 years now. I am at a point in my life where I feel a duty to contribute to something much larger, something more meaningful and I have always felt a strong calling to serve my country.

I've decided that if I do choose to pursue a career in the Military, I want to earn the Green Beret. Across all the various branches and career fields in the military that I have researched, I believe in the mission of SF and see my values aligning well with their mission.

My main goal on this forum to be a sponge and gain insight from those QPs who might've made the jump to Special Forces from the post-college, civilian world and gain some perspective on what the transition was like and other helpful tips for preparing myself for the road ahead.

Thanks,
norcalgrk
