Introductions III - Page 34

I'm SGT M., about March of this year I returned from yet another great deployment with the 1/1 AD, and there SF recruiters visiting our post. I was, at the time completely uninterested in SF and had just had a child, but now having spent about 2 and a half months looking into everything imaginable, I have decided to go SFAS. I completed almost everything in about 2 days (physical and all). Now all I have left is to get back with my recruiter in Germany to get a class date.

I have to say that this forum has really helped in me making the decision to go. After lurking around here for about a month as a guest I figured to about time to become a member. So hello all. And thank you.

Hello.....I'm a former member of the Air Force, not special operations, I was just a medic. One of my friends who is a member here invited me to join so that I could contribute to the medical section of this site.

Browsed the site a bit, was in the USMC Infantry (0341)
the Legion Etrangere Infantry/Abn.
Have some areas of SF operations during the Vietnam
War I was interested in learning about-was told this was the place
to sit in and absorb data.
Thanks

Hello, my name is Chad, I would like first-off to say thank you for the opportunity the Quiet Professionals have provided by this site and several forums. I have already learned a lot, and hope to to learn more in the future. I am a 26 year old USAR Soldier PMOS 38B who has always been interested in the SF. I come from a military family and have the utmost respect for "Quiet Professionals". Recently I have been going through a few career change options and was hoping to find some insight and/or guidance from individuals with real-time experience. Recruiters can most often than not, have their own agenda. I digress...I look forward to absorbing and retaining as much pertinent information as possible and will be doing plenty of reading. Thank you for your time.

Respectfully
C.H.

Hello, I my name is Michael or Mike hence my forum name.

I am very interested in the SF way of life and I have recieved the answers to most of my basic questions and then some about the Quiet Professionals. I would like to thank each and everyone of you first off for your time and service to this great nation of ours. 2nd thank you for taking the time to provide us noobs with information that we would probably never have been able to find out without actually joining the SF ourselves

Hello. my name is SSgt S...I'm a USAF TACP. I've made one deployment to the sandbox. I really look forward to learning and reading all of the valuable info on this website. Thanks for having me..

I am a new member to this site and I hope I will do this justice.
The reason I have sought out this site is for information and some kind of insight in what it takes to be SF.

My brother died February 9, 2005. His name is CPT Gilbert Munoz.
He is commander of a HALO team from 7th. Group. I would appreciate any info you may have or "stories" about him that any of you might have. I miss him terribly and I just need to know as much of his world as I possibly can.

I know that this is a site for past, present and maybe future SF men. Understanding that I do not fall into any of these categories, I am still asking for your help.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you! I wish you all well!

Thanks for allowing me to express myself and ask that favor of you.

My name is Sabine, I'm not a soldier but I used to be married to one. I live now in Germany again, this little town that probably none of you have ever heard of, Osterholz Scharmbeck, northern Germany.
I have 2 kids, a boy and a girl, and my boy is really interested in the Army and Special Forces.
We got this side from a friend and if you dont mind we would like to read along and maybe ask a question every once in a while.
Thanks

I'll be up front and say that I'm not SF, and I'm past the point where I could realistically go that route.
As my screen name suggests, I'm a Field Artilleryman.
I spent the majority of my career preparing to fight the Krasnovians in the “high intensity conflict” scenario preferred by the big Army for so many years.
Then Iraq came along, and that experience served as a kind of epiphany for me.
Now I consider myself a student of Counterinsurgency.
I hope to learn from the experience here.

Greetings, All:

I joined this site quite a while ago, a few months before I actually went to SFAS; I got picked up, and between then (Jun 06) and now, I've been extremely busy with the Q Course, as you might imagine. I've recently completed Max Gain and the new Culminex, and we're headed out to the 18E compound for refit, end of course critiques, peers and the like. I thoroughly enjoyed the 18E training, and learned a ton of stuff in the process. We'll be heading out to Language Block III here in two weeks, and I'm confident I'm going to have more time to post here. I'll also be posting a bit more at my second home (airborneranger.com), where my nick is "longrange".

I have to give a shout out to Surgical Crike - drop me a PM dude, and we'll hoist a few brews. We were in Lilac Miller's Lang BL I (French) together.

Some basic info on me, just so you know:
BESD: 28 DEC 86 (yup, got my 20 year letter in Feb, still kickin' it)
Assigned : A Co, 2/20, ILARNG (Chicago SF)
Airborne / Air Assault / Drill Sergeant / CIB w Star - Desert Shield/Storm, OIF II / EIB / JOTC / Sniper / LRSLC PH I / and then some
