An Introduction
Greetings:
I am a communications officer supporting the Department of State and have always wanted to serve in the military specifically the Special Forces, but due to my career requiring frequent immediate deployments OCONUS I have not had an opportunity.
Fortunately, in the coming year I will be changing away from PCS and TDY based positions and filling a role CONUS; subsequently, I thought now would be the perfect opportunity to pursue my personal desire of enlisting.
Due to the delays caused by my civilian employment I find myself 33 years old as I embark on the most physically demanding undertaking thus far in my life. Luckily I have spent years exercising with the protective staff at my various posts and I feel confident in being able to perform at the high standards of the community I wish to join. I have also endeavored to acquire SA through forums such as this, talking with former Green Berets I happen to work alongside with, and reading books such as Get Selected.
My major concern is that I was a victim of an Anomalous Health Incident (AHI) aka Havana Syndrome. While I am medically cleared by the DOS to work and travel in their designated conflict zones, and the syndrome is not officially recognized as a TBI, I fear it will be a disqualifying issue.
I look forward to interacting and learning from each and everyone of you.
