My name is Scott and I'm 39. I'm a long time lurker and used this site for years to gain knowledge to train my Platoon. Thanks for your sacrifice and service.

Greetings,

E-4 from Columbus, OH currently training with B 2/19. Anticipating selection early in 2013. As eager to learn as unwilling to look a fool.

Hi everyone, I'm a student and I lurk here out of sheer curiosity, cheers.

Hello all. Have always been interested in SF. My older brother was an 18A in 10th group a while back.
Joined up a while ago and thought I had posted before but the counter says I haven't.
Thanks for all of you that have served!

Hey, I am making my introduction. I have an 18X contract and ship out mid November for basic. So if you have the same ship time let me know. I have aspirations to make SF and hopefully 18D which i understand is the hardest. I am 6'1" around 180lb. took PT test and scored a 257 on my first time without ever trying before or preparing. I am looking for any tips that will be helpful. Thanks!!!

I graduated in May with my Bachelors. I finished MEPS last week and qualified for 18x. Now I am just waiting on a 18x contract.

In the meantime I am absorbing all the info I can and doing PT.

Just wanted to add that I enlisted as 18x candidate last week. I am shipping out mid March 2013.

Thanks for all the helpful information.

Hey all. I'm an 11A over here at Fort Beginning. I'm currently in IBOLC and will be attending ranger school this JAN. I'm here to be a sponge and soak up all the info I can. My mentor in college was an 18A with 19th Group and he influenced me to pursue the life of a "Quiet Professional". If y'all have any questions for me just PM me and I'll gladly answer them.

Hey fellas,

I'm a Reserve MISO (PSYOP) Team Leader. Did 2 tours in AFG 07-08 and 11-12. I just transferred to AD as a 91B to keep my rank of SSG. I plan on submitting a SFAS packet when I arrive to my new duty station. I've always wanted to join SF and when the opportunity arose, I took it, though it may take longer than I anticipated.

I've been lurking here for a couple years now and I always find great information. I look forward to contributing where I can and absorbing what I need to make a successful career in the SF community.

Hello,

I am a civilian with a brother in the National Guard. His goal is to become a Special Forces soldier, and to that end he has a slot for SFAS sometime this coming year. I am joining to learn more about the SF and military communities in light of what my brother is doing. Thank you for running this website.

Hello,

I am a Rifle Platoon Leader stationed in Anchorage, AK. I am a graduate of Ranger School (08-11), Airborne School, Air Assault School, Summer and Winter phases of Mountain Warfare School, and Northern Warfare School's Basic Mountaineering Course. I also have a 1/1 proficiency in Pashto. My time line for submitting an SF Packet is getting close and I am here to learn and understand more about the SF mission and way of life. I particularity enjoy working with our Afghan partners in Afghanistan and being able to closely interact with the local Afghan population has really brought me a unique sense of satisfaction. It has made me realize that I would like to move into a small unit environment where leaders on the ground are given the ability to make the right decisions and influence a population by developing their own capabilities.

Hi men! I'm 36 years old former spetznaz soldier from Kiev, Ukraine. Not Vet, I served in peacetime.
I like such rare forum and community. I'm former police detective also, and in this field war never ended.
I'm also interested in the fight against terrorism problems and in aspects of the using of special forces and history of that using, in history of wars. I hope to get the fresh knowledge and to be helpful to you if you'll want.

Thankyou for all the great info on this site but its time for me to go pt!
