Introduction

Hello Everyone,

I am a recent college graduate (Computer Engineering from UVA). I am currently in DEP with an 18X contract and I am leaving for Ft. Benning in a few weeks. I have been lurking on this forum for several months now but I don't expect to be posting here much since there is basically nothing I can add.

I have been spending the last 1.5 years preparing physically and mentally for a life in special operations. I have been reading and rereading Get Selected by Col Joe Martin (Major Joe Martin at the time of publication). I have been doing some form of exercise and training everyday of the week with 4 days of running and 3 days of rucking. I have also been getting involved with the GORUCK community having completed 8 events (2 heavy's, 5 tough challenges and 1 Kill that 5k). Being able to talk in person with members from various special operations communities through GORUCK has given me a small glimpse into the lives, persona's and experiences of those involved.
