Greetings to the men of the Unites States Army Special Forces and to all other registered users.

My name is Austin, or Talo if you prefer, it is a pleasure to be a guest in the "house" of the 'Quiet Professionals'.

If you care to know a bit about me I have filled out my profile with some information about myself but I'll post it here as well for the sake of redundancy. I am a 21 year old male approximately, 6'0 , 136 lbs. I am an Army BRAT, my Dad was an officer in logistics for 26 years and retired about a year ago, so of course my family and I moved a lot. Nothing new there. I don't think I've lived anywhere longer than 4 years. I don't resent that at all however, I enjoyed the opportunity to see new things as well as experience other cultures during our time overseas.

I have slightly over 2 years of college education, but I'm putting that on hold for now to find a way to pay for it without taking large loans or asking my parents to pay for it.

I have many interests including but not limited to, reading fiction/non-fiction/military history/philosophy/ etc. Drawing. Studying language, I'm currently teaching myself Japanese because I have great affection for their culture and history. I've also taken up some physical education over the last few months and I'm proud to say gained 8 lbs of muscle over 30 days.

I hope to learn much from interacting with the professional soldiers found here and I will obey any and all rules for this forum. I also hope to contribute to the discussions in a friendly and intelligent manner.

Thank you very much for having me.

-Austin/Talo.
