Retired 18Z. Served 23 years with 18 in the Regiment. After retirement worked 8 years as a DoS WPS contractor/instructor. Now semi-retired, give private hand gun instruction in my AO, and do a little consulting on occasion.

Quite a few guys I've worked with over the years on here, so I figured it was about time to become a member. Glad to be here and thanks for the admission.

Currently in the Army and just looking for more information on SF. I have friends who are in the pipeline and just thought I would read up on it more.

Hello all, I'm looking into signing a 18X contract along with a fellow battle buddy of mine I was deployed with in 2009. I graduate Fall 2014 from the University of Miami, however, I want to stay on the enlisted side first and hopefully get picked for 18D. If Army needs dictate otherwise, so be it. Thanks for the plethora of information on the forums!

Retired Army Officer, 20 years active and 8 years reserve. Did my first 8 years enlisted then went the ROTC route. Most of my career was spent in Field Artillery before permanently switching to my functional area. Last 2 assignments were Joint doing Information Warfare at JC2WC & JIOC then retired from the dreaded DoD IGs office. After that I rolled over to the dark side as a defense contractor supporting the Intel Community. In my spare time I teach SCUBA.

Im currently deployed and have been working my butt off to get in better shape so i can drop my packet and head out to SFAS i'm here to gain all the wisdom I can from all the QP's here and any advice i can get my hands on before selection.

Hello,

I am a 24 year old who does not currently service in any military branch but joined this forum to gain more knowledge of SOF. I have grown up in a farming community in the Midwest my hole life and played college football. Unsure of what to do after college I have a good job working at a heavy equipment manufacturer. But it has been on my mind to enlist and be apart of something bigger than myself much like I found in athletics .

Thank you for all who contribute to this site and to all who serve in for the United States of America!

I've been retired since 98, with 28 yrs svc. Ret as 00Z5P and called Bragg home for at least half my career. Most of the time I was 91B/54B, but as most know you roll a whole bunch of other stuff, letters and numbers into the pot. Spent time in Tolz, Vicenza and places further south and East. I guess I just want to keep somewhat in the net. Now I live in the Redoubt in a 12x16 cabin and command chickens, goats and dogs. (absolutely no sheep need apply. I instructed at 300F1 but never wore the green, always maroon. That being said I just could'nt seem to keep away from you guys. Everytime you started something I got pulled in.

Anyway this feels like home. I came across this site while looking for an old friend named Pat Brogan, sadly I was a little late. Thanks for the gathering. Some may know me by my old call sign, Rockydoc.

Hello everyone! I'm 24 years old and a 68W by trade. I'm with a rifle company up at Ft. Drum. I'm attending selection early next year and if I make the grade I aim to reclass 18D.

My name's Ian, I'm 22 years old, currently serving with 4/2 CR out of Rose Barracks, Germany. I am married to the most supportive wife, we have no kids. I set a goal for myself at the beginning of my military career (just over 2 years ago) that I would continue to work and prepare myself to attend and pass the Q-course. I and more than eager to learn all there is to learn about Special Forces and the community as a whole.

Hello
I am 33 and a 13M in the Colorado NG. I am hoping to go to transfer the SWTD soon. I am waiting for a spot to open. I currently train with crossfit, rucking and running as much as possible. SF has always been a goal of mine and I feel like I'm at a point and my life that I can accomplish it.
